Geoffrey Tozer was born in the Indian Himalayas. After studying in Australia and London he made his European debut at a BBC Promenade Concert in the Royal Albert Hall and went on to give concerts and recitals around the world. He has made numerous recordings for Chandos, the set of the complete piano concertos of Medtner winning the Diapason d’Or and a Grammy nomination. He has also recorded solo works and concertos by Schnabel, Korngold, Gerhard, Respighi, Rawsthorne and Busoni, and vocal and chamber works by Medtner, Tcherepnin and McEwen, evidence of a lifelong interest in reviving and performing the music of little-known composers. He died in 2009
