Ekaterina Derzhavina / Piano Recital

• Classical Music

»Her playing is elegant, classy and above all imaginative« was written in the Boston Globe (USA) about the award-winning pianist, who has given concerts all over the world and is a member of the teaching staff at Moscow’s famous Tchaikovsky Conservatory. Ekaterina Derzhavina was nominated for the International Classical Music Awards (ICMA) in 2014 for her recording of Joseph Haydn’s complete piano sonatas. She has received excellent press reviews for this, as well as for her CD recordings of piano works by the composer from the »Silver Epoch« Alexei Stanchinsky and the recording of all works for violin and piano by Nikolai Medtner with the Russian violinist Nikita Boriso-Glebsky. Together with the pianist Boris Berezovsky, she founded the Nikolai Medtner Festival in Moscow. »The highest level of sensitivity, a nuanced touch and the gift of complete self-expression. Pianistic splendour could hardly be more magically captivating...« was the opinion of the Westdeutsche Zeitung.
