He also studied in Saint Petersburg with Tatiana Kravcenko and in Vienna with Richard Hauser. After 1966 his reputation is spread due to enthusiastic articles written by Cella Delavrancea. Together with Valentin Gheorghiu and Radu Lupu, Dan Grigore is one of the leading Romanian pianists of the second half of the twentieth century.
