Artiste: Andrey Gugnin

Dans un programme dantesque qui associait les Douze Études d'exécution transcendante et la Sonate de Liszt, le pianiste russe trouve un idéal esthétique fait de poésie, de recherche de timbres, de surprises...

Little had planned to quit in August, but Covid-19 threw all her concert plans into disarray, but last night took a significant step towards the exit, bidding farewell to London’s Southbank Centre.

In an all-Russian programme, Agrest gave us a thoughtfully textured Tchaikvosky 4, while the ease with which Andrey Gugnin took on Rachmaninov’s Third Piano Concerto was a delight.

The Russian pianist talks about his recent triumph at the Classic Piano International Competition in Dubai – and how his opposition to the war in Ukraine has changed his musical life.

Âgé de 37 ans, le pianiste russe est déjà une figure bien établie de la scène musicale classique, mais ce prix majeur lui ouvre l'opportunité de se produire dans le monde entier – ainsi que 100.000 €.
