Diana Cooper

Diana Cooper made a sensation at the latest Chopin Competition in Warsaw among the finest musicians, but finesse rarely leads to victory. And yet her Chopin has much to say. She deserves to be in the spotlight. Born in Tarbes to a French-Spanish mother and a British father, Diana Cooper has won other competitions, including the one in Poznań, Poland, and the Samson-François Competition in Nice. Virtuosity, sensitivity, character—she has it all and knows how to communicate it effortlessly to the audience. Her program includes the formidable Scherzos, the mysterious Mazurkas, the sublime Barcarolle and the painful Polonaise-Fantaisie.
