Roger Vig­noles is inter­na­tion­ally recog­nised as one of the fore­most piano accom­pa­nists of our time. In an out­stand­ing career he has part­nered a dis­tin­guished list of artists, includ­ing such singers as Sir Thomas Allen, Olaf Bär, Bar­bara Bon­ney, Susan Gra­ham, Thomas Hamp­son, Robert Holl, Wolf­gang Holz­mair, Dame Kiri te Kanawa, Elis­a­beth Soed­er­stroem and Sarah Walker.

His many record­ings have been highly praised, espe­cially recent issues with Susan Gra­ham (Rey­naldo Hahn) Bernarda Fink (Schumann,Spanish Songs) Stephan Genz (Beethoven, Hugo Wolf) and Christo­pher Malt­man (Songs of Travel). He has also directed highly-acclaimed Lieder series at both the Wig­more Hall and the Queen Eliz­a­beth Hall in London.

Roger Vig­noles is much in demand as a teacher. He has given mas­ter­classes and work­shops for singers and pianists in Ams­ter­dam, Barcelona, Copen­hagen, Helsinki, Stock­holm and Vienna as well as in the USA, Canada and Japan, and at the Royal Col­lege of Music in Lon­don, where he is cur­rently Prince Con­sort Pro­fes­sor of Accompaniment.
