Dezső Ránki obtained his diploma from the Ferenc Liszt Music Academy in 1973 as a student of Pál Kadosa and Ferenc Rados. He was 18 years old when he won the International Schumann Competition in Zwickau and has performed concerts all over the world ever since. He has performed as a soloist with prestigious orchestras (such as the Berlin and London philharmonics, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Orchestre National de Paris) and collaborated with renowned conductors like Sir Georg Solti..., Sándor Végh, Lorin Maazel and Zubin Mehta. Since 1985, he has been playing works for both four hands and two pianos together with Edit Klukon, which in recent years have taken them to appearances in Berlin, Paris, Tokyo, New York and London. His most important distinctions include two Kossuth Prizes, the titles Artist of Merit and Artist of Excellence, the Prima Primissima Award, and the Commander's Cross with Star of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Hungary. He has been an honorary citizen of Budapest since 2014.
