Australian pianist Geoffrey Tozer made his concerto debut with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at the age of eight and within four years had played all the Beethoven Concertos and added over 200 works to his solo repertoire. He became the youngest person to be awarded a Churchill Fellowship, enabling him to travel to London where he made his debut, aged fifteen, at the Royal Albert Hall with Sir Colin Davis conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra. In 1989, in recognition of his achievements he became one of the seven recipients of the inaugural Australian Artists' Creative Fellowships awarded by the Australian Government.

In 1991 he signed an exclusive long-term contract with Chandos Records. His recordings of the three Piano Concertos of Nikolai Medtner with the London Philharmonic conducted by Neeme Järvi (CHAN 9040) have been enthusiastically received throughout the world and received France's premier record award Diapason d'Or in 1992.
