Terence Judd

Terence Judd

Terence Judd was an outstanding 20th century English pianist who died young, poised on the verge of a musical career.

Born in 1957 of English-American parents, he committed suicide in 1979. Known particularly for his championship of virtuosic romantic works, above all the music of Franz Liszt, he brought a characteristic exuberance and clarity of expression to his performances; and his recordings bear witness to that. His renditions of Alberto Ginastera's Piano Sonata No.1 and Samuel Barber's Piano Sonata remain as milestones for other pianists, and his memorable performances of Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto and Prokofiev's 3rd Piano Concerto, which he played back-to-back in the finals of the 1978 Tchaikovsky Competition, are among the most exciting of these well-known virtuosic works.
