Alexander Romanovsky
Event
Romanovsky was the youngest-ever winner of the Busoni International Piano Competition and is a medallist of the Tchaikovsky Competition. He won the Krainev Competition at the age of 11 and received a Medal of Honour from the Bologna Philharmonic Society at 15, a feat only achieved by Mozart and Rossini. He dedicates this recital to one of the greatest pianists of all times, Sergei Rachmaninoff, performing the composer’s “Études-Tableaux”, important concert studies that explore the orchestral resources of the piano and left his mark in the 20th-century repertoire. To end the recital, the passion and transcendent virtuosity of “Sonata No. 2”, a piece that requires from the pianist enormous technical resources, as well as a deep understanding of its elaborate architecture.
