Paul Lewis
One of the world's finest pianists, Paul Lewis comes from a working class Liverpool family with no musical background; his father worked at the Liverpool Docks and his mother was a local council worker.
At the age of 14 he was accepted by Chetham's School of Music in Manchester, where his piano studies blossomed and he would win second prize at the 1994 World Piano Competition in London.
He performed all 32 of the Beethoven piano sonatas, between 2005 and 2007, winning Gramophone's "Best Instrumental" recording and "Best Recording of the Year" awards in the process.
In July and August 2010, Lewis became the first pianist to perform all five Beethoven Concertos in a single season of The BBC Proms and he has gone on to score three Top 10 albums on the UK Classical Album Chart with his interpretations of Beethoven, Brahms and Schubert.
He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE), in the 2016 Birthday Honours, for services to music.
