Ventsislav Yankov (born in Sofia, 1926) is a Bulgarian pianist and pedagogue. Trained in Berlin, he settled in France in 1946; three years later he won ex-aequo with Aldo Ciccolini the III Concours Marguerite Long-Jacques Thibaud's Grand Prize[1]. An intercontinental concert career ensued.
Yankov is a professor emeritus at the Conservatoire of Paris, where he held a professorship (1977-1991). He is still active as a concert pianist in France.[2]
