Born in Nagoya in Japan, Etsuko Hirose began to play the piano at the age of three and later studied with Bruno Rigutto and Nicholas Angelich. In 1999, her First prize at the Martha Argerich Competition marked the point of departure for her solo career. A previous disc of Chopin Ballades, also for Mirare, was compared favourably to Nelson Goerner and even Horowitz.
