Biography

In 2011, Masataka Goto was awarded First Prize at the 9th International Franz Liszt Piano Competition, Utrecht. The jury compared him to “a young samurai defending the honour of music.” He also received the Van Lanschot Bankiers Competition Audience Award as well as the Prize of the Junior Jury.

Born and raised in Japan, Masataka Goto has been playing the piano since the age of four. Later, he studied with Fumiko Eguchi at the Showa Graduate School of Music, where he has been a professor in the Piano Department since 2012.

As part of his career development offered by the Liszt Competition, Mr. Goto has already given over 100 performances in 25 countries. The morning following the Competition’s finals, he made his debut in the main hall of Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, under the baton of Jaap van Zweden.

He has appeared in concert in Russia with the State Hermitage Orchestra, in Germany with the Berlin International Music Festival, Poland at the Duszniki Festival and with the Krakow State Philharmonic Orchestra, and in China both at the main-hall of the Beijing National Center for the Performing Arts and the Shanghai Concert Hall.  Other international performances have taken place in Indonesia, Brazil, Argentina, the United States, Belgium, Latvia with the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra, and in Japan with the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra, among others.

Upcoming performances in 2013 include Rachmaninoff’s Paganini Rhapsody with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra as well as solo recitals in Europe, Asia,  and in North and South America.
