Artur Pizarro has recorded a series of highly-acclaimed albums, including the complete Rachmaninov piano music, and Lebensreise, a disc of music by Robert Schumann, for which Pizarro’s playing was praised as: “soft as velvet, but muscular and virtuoso if necessary technique and virtuosity are unconditionally at the service of the composer’s intentions” (Klassiek Centraal). Pizarro also performed the Poulenc Piano Concerto with the Beethoven Philharmonie and Thomas Rösner on the album Couleurs, praised in Gramophone magazine: “Pizarro seems delighted to meet the score on its own terms, turning in a performance of considerable sensitivity and subtlety.
