Biography
Paraskivesco entered the Bucharest Conservatory and studied with Silvia Șerbescu. He graduated with five first prizes. In 1961, he was awarded the Georges Enesco International Competition prize. He then received a scholarship from the French government and continued his musical studies in Paris with Magda Tagliaferro, Yvonne Lefébure and Nadia Boulanger. In 1970, he won the Prix Claude Debussy, and is one of the most respected performers of Debussy's works. He once taught piano and chamber music at the Conservatoire de Paris (1985) and gives several master classes, notably in Greece and Japan. In 1995, he was also appointed professor of piano at the Conservatoire européen de Paris. He plays in trio with Jean Estournet and Michel Strauss and accompanies singers for melodies.
