Relatively few people in Hungary know the name of pianist and composer Bence Peter, they only heard about him after he set a Guinness record in 2012, when he struck a piano key 765 times in one minute, making him the "world's fastest pianist". A Guinness record here, a Guinness record there, he nods at this leap today, preferring to consider it a forgettable sports performance.
He can be much more proud of the fact that since 2017 he has performed in more than forty countries, from Azerbaijan to New York, from Sidney to the Middle East, he is celebrated everywhere he performs, his fans fill arenas, sports halls, and huge concert halls.
Bence Peter's success story began when he reworked Michael Jackson's song Bad, not only did he intensively play his own transcription on the piano, but practically he brought out the music from every part of the instrument: he gave the song a powerful rhythm by hitting the side of the instrument, but he also used the piano strings with a ferocious to his performance. The bravura version of the song Bad reached ten million views in a day or two on social media, and since then, of course, he has covered many world hits. In six or seven years, more than 800 million people viewed the videos of the piano virtuoso on his RU-vid channel and Facebook page. If he couldn't finish the Berklee College of Music, the world's most significant institution of higher education providing contemporary music training in Boston, due to lack of funds, this certainly doesn't stop him from fulfilling his boldest dream, i.e. taking it as far as possible in film music composition.
This time, Sándor Friderikusz invited our young world star, Bence Peter, to his podcast.
