He was the son of a Danish father and a German mother, and his family had a strong musical background. His father was a professional pianist, and his mother was a singer. From a young age, Rohde showed a keen interest in music, and his parents encouraged him to pursue his passion. Rohde began his musical training at the age of six, when he started taking piano lessons. He quickly showed a natural talent for the instrument, and his parents decided to enroll him in the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen. There, he studied under some of the most renowned piano teachers in Denmark, including Anne Øland and Amalie Malling. In addition to his piano studies, Rohde also developed an interest in composition. He began writing his own music at a young age, and his compositions were well-received by his teachers and peers. He continued to compose throughout his career, and his works were performed by some of the most prestigious orchestras and ensembles in the world. Rohde's career as a performer began in the early 1980s, when he started giving recitals and performing with orchestras in Denmark and other European countries. He quickly gained a reputation as a virtuoso pianist, known for his technical skill and musical sensitivity. His performances were praised for their clarity, precision, and emotional depth. One of Rohde's most notable performances took place in 1985, when he performed Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 with the Royal Danish Orchestra. The performance was a critical and commercial success, and it helped to establish Rohde as one of the leading pianists of his generation. He went on to perform with many other orchestras and ensembles, including the Berlin Philharmonic, the London Symphony Orchestra, and the New York Philharmonic. Throughout his career, Rohde received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to classical music. In 1992, he was awarded the Carl Nielsen Prize, one of the most prestigious awards in Danish music. He was also awarded the Order of the Dannebrog, a Danish order of chivalry, in recognition of his contributions to the arts. In addition to his performing and composing work, Rohde was also a dedicated teacher.
