Widely renowned for his exceptional interpretations of the works of Franz Liszt and, more generally, of the Romantic repertoire, Goran Filipec is a pianist of fiery virtuosity and evocative pianistic style, often performing his own arrangements and adaptations.

Initially a pupil of Evgeny Zarafiants and Oxana Yablonskaya, Filipec studied with Naum Grubert and Natalia Trull at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague and the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory. He also holds a PhD in music from Sorbonne Université and the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse of Paris.

His recordings for Naxos have received exceptional critical acclaim. Paganini Studies (8.573458) and Hungarian Fantasy (8.573866) were awarded the Grand Prix du Disque by the Liszt Ferenc Society of Budapest. A laureate of several international piano competitions, Filipec has appeared internationally as a recitalist and soloist with symphony orchestras worldwide. He has been invited to the Mariinsky Theatre Contemporary Piano Faces festival, Progetto Martha Argerich and Dubrovnik Summer Festival. Filipec is co-founder and president of the Société Franz Liszt de Genève.
