A performance not to be missed in a venue that is equally extraordinary.
Vassily Primakov
In recent years, Vassily Primakov has been hailed as a pianist of world
class importance. In 1999, as a teen-aged prizewinner of the Cleveland
International Piano Competition, Primakov was praised by Donald Rosenberg
of the Cleveland Plain Dealer: “How many pianists can make a line sing as
the Moscow native did on this occasion? Every poignant phrase took ethereal
wing. Elsewhere the music soared with all of the turbulence and poetic
vibrancy it possesses. We will be hearing much from this remarkable
musician.”
Vassily Primakov has released numerous recordings for Bridge Records that
include works by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn,
Brahms, Chopin, Dvorak, Debussy, Tchaikovsky, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff,
Philip Glass, Arlene Sierra and Poul Ruders.
In 2011, Mr. Primakov, along with Natalia Lavrova established a new and
vibrant record company, L.P. Classics, Inc. Their first release was Anton
Arensky: Four Suites for Two Pianos. Most recently, they released
Primakov’s Live in Concert Album that includes works by Medtner, Schumann,
Brahms’ Handel Variations and Ravel’s La Valse.http://www.lpclassics.net
