Geoffrey Parsons

Geoffrey Penwill Parsons was an Australian classical pianist, most particularly notable as an accompanist to singers and instrumentalists. He was based in London from the age of 20, and toured internationally before returning back to Australia After the retirement of Gerald Moore, Parsons was generally considered the world's finest and most sympathetic accompanist of lieder singers, "elevating the role of the accompanist to new heights in the 1950s with his musicality, authority and quiet strength of playing".
