Can Çakmur

Can Çakmur is an award-winning pianist whose performances combine poetic intensity with intellectual clarity.

Winner of the Hamamatsu and Scottish International Piano Competitions, he records an ongoing Schubert project encompassing his complete piano works with BIS and appears in leading halls worldwide. Bryce Morrison praised his Schubert series, writing “Truly great recordings of Schubert’s piano sonatas are rare… but I know of few to match Can Çakmur’s supple and penetrating confirmation of Schubert’s genius.”
