Malcolm Troup

The pianist, academic and teacher Malcolm Troup was born in Toronto on 22 February 1930. He studied with Alberto Guerrero and later with Walter Gieseking. He performed all over the world and recorded for RCA Victor and Continuum. His performance of Messiaen's Vingt Regards was judged 'notably perceptive ... with splendid panache' by The Financial Times.

Troup was Director of Music at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and was awarded his own chair at City University. He held the Commonwealth Medal, an Honorary Doctorate of Laws from the Memorial University of Newfoundland and the 1998 Liszt Medal from the American Liszt Society. He was Master of the Worshipful Company of Musicians in 1999 and was a former chairman of the Beethoven Piano Society of Europe.
