One of the world's celebrated pianists, who regularly demonstrates his exceptional technical and physical abilities in Hungarian concert halls, Denis Matsuev is a charismatic personality. His impeccable playing and his seemingly ungovernable keenness to improvise are equally captivating. He has a penchant for grand and very challenging concert programmes that feature some of the most complex pieces of the piano's literature.
The artist, who was born in Irkutsk, Siberia, and gives over 200 concerts a year, believes he owes his energy to the incomparable nature of his native land - to things like Lake Baikal. "It's one of the deepest and clearest lakes in the world. I go home at least twice a year, like at Christmas. On these occasions I also take long sessions in the sauna. A real Siberian sauna! Which is no joke. It's one of the strongest, for big boys only! Then I dive in Lake Baikal, whose temperature is no more than 8 degrees,” he said before his last Budapest concert.
