Winner of the Critics' Prize at the 1990 Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, De Maria went on to win other international competitions, including the Concorso Internazionale per Giovani Pianisti "Dino Ciani" at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, the Concours Géza Anda in Zurich, and the Mendelssohn Award in Hamburg.
