Simon Tedeschi's self titled album is a solo piano recording covering a wide variety of styles of music from Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern and Jazz.

The album includes two wild jazz pieces right at the end that deliver a great closing punch to the album.

Simon is related to the great American composer/songwriter George Gershwin.

He is known to Australian audiences for his award winning and exhilarating 1998 YOUNG PERFORMER OF THE YEAR AWARD performance of Ginastera's Piano Concerto No 1 with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Broadcast live on ABC TV, viewers, critics and audiences were left breathless. The audience response was repeated in 1999 when he performed Shostakovich's 2nd Piano Concerto with The Sydney Symphony Orchestra in Sydney's Domain before an audience of 100,000 people. In August 1999 Simon was the youngest ever person to appear on ABC TV's Australian Story. He has since appeared on A Current Affair (December 1999).

Simon made his film debut in the movie SHINE in 1996 playing the hands of the "young", David Helfgott. In 1997, he was one of 20 selected world-wide to participate in the World Piano Competition in London. He progressed to the semi-final of this prestigious competition, the youngest and the only competitor from the Southern Hemisphere to do so.

Now at 18 years of age he makes his recording debut on an Australian made, Stuart and Sons Piano recorded in Australia's newest classical venue, the City Recital Hall, Angel Place, Sydney. In May 2000 he will be the special guest of Mouth-Organ legend Larry Adler when he performs Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue with Larry in Sydney and Perth.
