of Romanian-Hungarian descent, was born in Cluj-Napoca (Klausenburg), Romania, on June 26, 1940. His remarkable musical aptitude manifested itself at a very early age. He started taking piano lessons at the age of four and was taught by some of the country's most renowned teachers. He owed his brilliantly sensitive touch to the instruction he received from Aurelia Cionca, while Ana Pitis initiated him into the virtuoso tradition, as personified by Franz Liszt.
In addition, Cicero studied instrumentation and composition at the National Conservatory in Bucharest. However, neither the prospect of an academic career nor that of becoming a conventional concert pianist appealed to him. He saw these roles as much too restrictive. The key musical philosophy for Cicero was to be receptive towards everything new and to maintain a free spirit in developing his art.

  • Thanks honouring this great artist with the first Cicero-posting on youtube.

  • Vollendet und schön ... mit Eugen Ciceros und Oscar Petersons Platten habe ich die schulischen "Galeerenjahre" überstanden und neuen Lebensmut geschöpft. Eines Tages, als ich das TV anschaltete, hörte und sah ich ihn "Die Moldau" spielen und darüber improvisieren. Es hat mir wirklich Gänsehautschauer über den Rücken gejagt. Für das, was er mit seiner Musikalität bewirkt hat, werde ich ihm immer ein ehrendes Andenken bewahren! Herzlichen Dank für's Posten! :-)
