Dimitris Sgouros-anyone seen him lately?
on: August 26, 2002, 03:50:35 PM
Does anyone know what this pianist is up to these days.
I saw him play in Australia in 87, 89, 91 and he was hailed as one of the great pianists of the century....
Athens con at 8, Rach concertos at 11,  all over the world yada yada...... Where is he now?  :-/

Hi! I don't really know what Mr. Sgouros is doing at the moment, as far as concerts etc. go... but you can hear a lot of his recordings online. Some of them are quite recent! Here's the website: https://artists.mp3s.com/artists/335/dimitris_sgouros.html    
If for some strange reason that doesn't work, go to www.mp3.com and search for "sgouros." My piano teacher seemed to think that Sgouros was rather short-lived... you know, brilliant for 5 years and then he just fizzled out. I don't know conclusively, though.

He gave it all up and became a lawyer last I heard.

I've also heard something like that, but I'm not shure..

I read an interview with him where he spoke about how he likes to party and "go to discos with beautiful women" so maybe he's burnt out now, or still spending all his time with women and drink?.....Grieg was the same way too.

Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music
The piano, a sleek monument of polished wood and ivory keys, holds a curious, often paradoxical, position in music history, especially for women. While offering a crucial outlet for female expression in societies where opportunities were often limited, it also became a stage for complex gender dynamics, sometimes subtle, sometimes stark. From drawing-room whispers in the 19th century to the thunderous applause of today’s concert halls, the story of women and the piano is a narrative woven with threads of remarkable progress and stubbornly persistent challenges.
