"Here, surely, we have the truest successor to the great Russian pianists" (Gramophone) Born in Moscow in 1969, Boris Berezovsky studied at the Moscow Conservatory with Eliso Virsaladze. His London début at the Wigmore Hall in 1988 was a resounding success and was followed by the Gold Medal at the prestigious 1990 International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. His career has continued on this steep curve, including collaborations with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic and performances in Paris, Vienna, Rome, Salzburg, Amsterdam, Montreal and Tokyo. His solo discs, and recordings of Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky and Liszt piano concertos, have attracted a considerable international following and a host of awards, including the German Record Critics' Award, Le Monde de la Musique Prize, the Diapason d'Or, the RTL d'Or, the Echo Classic Award and the Choc de la Musique. In March 2006, he also won the BBC Music Magazine Award. The 2010/2011 season will see Berezovsky continue to give solo recitals and orchestral concerts in some of the world's top concert venues. His collaborators will include the Philharmonia Orchestra and Tugan Sokhiev and he is scheduled to perform in the Salle Pleyel with Vadim Repin, as well as the New York Lincoln Center. He performed Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto in B-flat minor in Budapest on 14 January 2011. Presented by: Jakobi Koncert Kft.
