At the beginning of 2021, Levanon took part in a filmed project with Daniel Barenboim and soon after he signed an exclusive recording agreement with Warner Classics. His debut album A Monument for Beethoven with the label was released in May 2022. It attracted great attention from reviewers worldwide and garnered many excellent reviews. In February 2024, Rachmaninoff: Etudes-Tableaux Op.39 followed his debut album: ​“There have been some tremendous versions of the Études-tableaux in the past few decades, but I would place Levanon’s recording near to the top” (Gramophone). His latest release, Liszt: Piano Concertos & Totentanz (November 2024), features Liszt’s Piano Concertos No.1 and 2, alongside other works by the composer, recorded with the Luzerner Sinfonieorchester under the baton of chief conductor Michael Sanderling.

Yoav Levanon first appeared on stage at the age of 4 and soon became a winner of his first National Piano Competition in Israel. He won his first Gold Medal at an International Piano Competition in the USA a year later and performed on the prestigious stage of Carnegie Hall in New York. Following his orchestral debut with the Israel Chamber Orchestra he went on to take part in the Tsinandali Festival, Georgia, where he played Mozart and Bach Concertos for Two Pianos and Orchestra with acclaimed pianist Sergei Babayan. Later he received the ​“Young Talent Award” of the Fundación Excelentia and performed at a ceremony at the National Auditorium Madrid in the presence of Queen Sofia. In 2019, Yoav appeared as one of the youngest pianists ever in the festival history of the renowned Verbier Festival and was celebrated as a ​‘discovery’. His debut solo recital, broadcast globally on medici​.tv, attracted the largest online audience of any at the 2019 Festival’s events.

Yoav Levanon is guided by top piano professors and musicians. He was privileged to take part in the ​‘Piano Program for Outstanding Young Pianists’ at the Jerusalem Music Center, working with the prestigious American concert pianist Murray Perahia as well as working under the guidance of distinguished pianist Sir Andras Schiff in his artist performance studio at the Barenboim-Said Academy in Berlin.
