Jörg Demus
born in St Pölten, Austria, on December 2, 1928 received his first piano lessons at the age of six and was allowed to enter the Vienna State Academy of Music when he was eleven. After completing these studies in Vienna, he went abroad to study with Yves Nat in Paris, then with Walter Gieseking in Saarbrücken, later with Wilhelm Kempff, Edwin Fischer and Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli.
