Ben Schoeman is regarded as one of South Africa's foremost pianists. Having won all the national competitions he put paid to his growing reputation by winning the coveted first prize in the 2009 UNISA International Piano Competition. Proving it was no fluke, he also won the first prize in the Royal Overseas League Music Competition in London.
In his debut solo-CD, released on the TwoPianists label's debut imprint, Ben synchronizes his great love for Franz Liszt with the bicentenary celebrations of the composer's birth. A beautiful variety of Liszt works, from the gorgeous Isoldes Liebestod to the monumental B minor Sonata, coupled with his 'dazzling virtuosity' and 'magical music- making' ensure the stamp of a unique artist on the rise. Ben Schoeman has a lively international performing career.
