Mordecai Shehori

Shehori was born in Israel and studied in Tel Aviv with Mindru Katz, whom he cites as his most influential teacher.

His commercial recordings for Connoisseur Society and Cembal d'amour include music by Beethoven, Chopin, Scarlatti, Liszt, Rameau, Rachmaninoff, and many others.

[4] Later that year, Horowitz traveled to Milan and recorded the concerto for Deutsche Grammophon with the La Scala Theater Orchestra conducted by Carlo Maria Giulini.

Shehori has cited his friendship and artistic collaboration with Vladimir Horowitz as a significant source of knowledge and inspiration.

“Mordecai Shehori’s concert served as a welcome reminder that there is a place for originality in re-creations of classical materials.” The New York Times Making a Lost Style Speak to Today’s Ears (Headline) "Mr. Shehori readings are a fascinating reminder that the largely vanished performance style he has espouse took in not only bombastic, flashy playing, but also the gentlest and sweetest of pianissimos.” The New York Times “Mordecai Shehori is a musician’s musician—that is, a sort of pianist whom it will profit other pianists to study.

BBC Music Magazine “Everything he tackled on this formidable program emerged Colorful and brightly characterized, the combination of great confidence, a lively imagination, and excellent technique."

Color, voltage, and volatility dissolve Liszt’s glittering sound masses so fluently into surges of sheer expressiveness that the piano seems an extension of Shehori’s antic disposition….Mephisto’s scraping enchantments, for once, evince genuine seductiveness, sensual magic.” Fanfare Magazine
