Delgado's appearances have spread across four continents - Europe,
South America, Asia, and North America. International audiences
and critics alike have consistently recognized the fiery intensity
that Delgado projects from the stage. His repertoire from Bach
to modern composers shows that music affects Delgado deeply,
emotion that he shares freely with his audiences. "Music
has been my life and my passion since my first recital when I
was seven," Delgado says.
Born in Rosario, Argentina, Eduardo Delgado
began his early training with his mother, Amelia, followed by
studies with Arminda Canteros in Rosario, and then continued
with Sergio Lorenzi in Venice, Vicente Scaramuzza in Buenos Aires,
Dora Zaslavsky of the Manhattan School of Music, and the renowned
piano pedagogue, Rosina Lhevinne of the Juilliard School. His
many awards and prizes include the Vladimir Horowitz Award, grants
from the Mozarteum Argentino and Martha Baird Rockefeller and
the Concert Artists Guild.
Delgado has participated on international competition juries,
and has had artist faculty positions at several universities
in Japan as well as in California. He is currently on the faculty
at California State University in Fullerton, where he has established
an endowed scholarship fund for talented pianists as a tribute
to the renowned pianist, Madame Alicia de Larrocha. He is also
the pianist of the Premier Trio of the university.
Delgado has recorded with tenor Jose Cura for ERATO Records and
also the complete solo piano music of Alberto Ginastera in two
volumes for MA Records in Tokyo. In July 1997, pianist Martha
Argerich presented Delgado at the Verbier Festival in Switzerland,
and invited him to judge her international competition in 2002.
In August 1999, Delgado was awarded a medal by UNESCO of Buenos
Aires, and also by the Mayor of Rosario, Delgado's hometown,
for his contribution as an ambassador of music.
Delgado founded the Castle Green Historic & Cultural Society
in Pasadena, California, where he resides.
