Zoltan Kocsis was a Hungarian pianist, conductor and composer. Kocsis performed with the Berlin Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic, the Staatskapelle Dresden, the Philharmonia of London, and the Vienna Philharmonic. Kocsis recorded the complete solo piano works and works with piano and orchestra of Bela Bartok. In 1990, his recording of Debussy's Images won "The Gramophone" Instrumental Award for that year. He won another with the violinist Barnabas Kelemen in 2013 in the chamber category for the recording of Bartok's Violin Sonatas Nos 1 & 2. In addition to his compositions, Kocsis made piano transcriptions of works by Wagner, Rachmaninov, Bartok and Debussy. Kocsis completed the last act of Schoenberg's opera Moses und Aron, with the permission of Schoenberg's heirs, in 2010.
