Denis Matsuev

Denis Matsuev is one particular electrifying pianists often connected with finger-busting repertory. But his key pad persona is quite perfectly well balanced: its thunder and hair-raising brilliance coexist very well with delicacy and nuance to produce an interpretive depth of the rare kind. In a nutshell, he’s an artist who are able to bowl his viewers over with pyrotechnics one second, after that mesmerize them with poetic rapture another. His repertory being a soloist is certainly abundant with the concertos of Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, and Prokofiev, and his recitals feature functions by that trio aswell, but also Schumann, Chopin, Scriabin, and a spate of additional notables. Matsuev offers appeared using the main orchestras of NY, Chicago, Pittsburgh, London, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, and St. Petersburg, and with such conductors as Gergiev, Maazel, Mehta, Masur, Temirkanov, Slatkin, and Jansons. His recordings can be found on Mariinsky, RCA, and Sony. Denis Matsuev was created in Irkutsk, Russia, on June 11, 1975. His dad was a composer and pianist and his mom was a piano instructor. From age group three, Denis performed the piano. From 1990-1993 he analyzed at Moscow’s Central Music College, and from 1993 in the Moscow Conservatory under Aleksei Nasedkin and Sergei Dorensky. In 1998 Matsuev received the Tchaikovsky Competition, essentially the most attention-grabbing springboard that to release one’s international profession. Even though many winners of the exclusive competition fade within a couple of years, Matsuev thrived in the limelight. His 1st documenting for RCA, Tribute to Horowitz (2004), appeared to boldly proclaim the road of his status. In 2005 Matsuev founded two music celebrations: the Irkutsk-based Celebrities at Baikal as well as the Crescendo Event in Moscow. On November 19, 2007, Matsuev made an appearance at Carnegie Hall inside a recital of functions by Schumann, Liszt, and Prokofiev and brought down the home. But this response was hardly uncommon: his Dec 2007 appearance at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall inside a Rachmaninov system and his 2008 Ravinia Event performance from the Rachmaninov Third had been merely icing around the currently well-decorated wedding cake. In 2008 Alexander Rachmaninoff, grandson from the composer, appointed Matsuev creative director from the Sergei Rachmaninov Basis. Through this business Matsuev launched two dropped Rachmaninov functions, the D small Fugue as well as the piano edition from the Suite for Orchestra. Both parts made an appearance on Matsuev’s 2008 RCA documenting Unidentified Rachmaninoff. Among Matsuev’s even more acclaimed recordings is certainly his 2010 Mariinsky Compact disc from the Rachmaninov Third Concerto and Paganini Rhapsody.
