Sergei Babayan sucht das Verborgende und begeistert mit einem kreativen Programm des Münchner Publikum.

Il n'y a pas eu de round d'observation dans le récital Haydn-Beethoven-Medtner-Rachmaninov du pianiste canadien au festival toulousain.

The Russian's Carnegie Hall recital again showcased Babayan's singular voice among today's great pianists. 

El pianista ruso ofreció un recital imborrable con obras de Bach, Chopin y Rachmaninov que se dedicó a la memoria de Alicia de Larrocha.

In a wide-ranging recital program, Sergei Babayan champions repertoire from Bach to the late 20th century.

Xiaoxuan Li and Eva Gevorgyan, winners of the 2018 Cleveland International Piano Competition for Young Artists, came back to Cleveland for an evening of virtuosic showpieces.

A truly remarkable display from a musical giant as Yuja Wang wows the Barbican. 

An elegant venue with a fine acoustic and a beautiful Steinway piano, coupled with one of the UK's most gifted pianists active today made for an evening of music making of the highest calibre.

In the relatively recent past, Russian pianist Nikolai Lugansky has featured impressively as an RSNO guest in concertos by two of his countrymen (Rachmaninov and Prokofiev). I was therefore very much looking forward to hearing him in the more intimate, less gladiatorial setting of an Edinburgh International Festival morning Queen’s Hall recital.

It’s hard to ignore Chinese pianist Yuja Wang, and sometimes for the wrong reasons: the controversy about That Dress (a daringly short designer frock paired with killer heels) ruffled some feathers amongst traditional classical music critics and concertgoers, and provoked a healthy debate about concert attire.

The word 'prodigy' is unavoidable when writing about Benjamin Grosvenor, or so it appears for the headline writers. Having eschewed many big concert dates and growing as an artist in smaller halls, he is clearly setting himself up for the long haul. This ambitious, sold-out Cambridge concert showed both how brilliant a pianist he already is, and hinted at how far he could go in the future.
