Dimanche soir, sur les conseils du chef d’orchestre, arrangeur et compositeur Anthony Rosankovic, nous sommes allés entendre le pianiste russe Denis Matsuev à la Maison symphonique. Pour un soir dit télévisuel, ce redoutable interprète avait fait salle comble, et ce fut amplement justifié. ...
Splitting the atom and turning water into wine is doable by any mortal. Perhaps only a Denis Matsuev, though can transform Tchaikovsky’s twelve salon pieces into a thundering passionate 40-minute symphonic sonata. ...
Russian virtuoso pianist Denis Matsuev will give on Wednesday his jubilee tenth solo recital at Carnegie Hall in New York City. He disclosed the details of the upcoming concert in an interview with TASS. "For me the American tours have been one of my favorite performances over the past 15 years, especially on such a significant stage as Carnegie Hall," Matsuev said. "Today’s performance is special. This is my tenth solo recital on this stage. In all, I’ve performed at Carnegie Hall more than 20 times, including my concerts with orchestras." According to Matsuev, every performance in this musical theater is a special honor for him. "It was opened in 1891 with a concert of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of [Pyotr] Tchaikovsky. [Sergey] Rachmaninoff and [Igor] Stravinsky also performed there," he said. "Carnegie Hall has its own special aura, special atmosphere. ...
A substantial portion of the Russian musical community attended the spectacular piano recital by Denis Matsuev at the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco, Sunday, January 24, given under the auspices of The Cherry Orchard Foundation. Mr. Matsuev (b. 1975), winner of the 11th International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, 1998, offered three works on his original program, of alternately salon and virtuosic character: Tchaikovsky’s 1876 suite “The Months” (also known as “The Seasons”); Schumann’s suite after E.T.A. Hoffmann, Kreisleriana, Op. 16; and Stravinsky’s arrangement (for Artur Rubinstein) of Three Scenes from the 1911 ballet Petrouchka. ...

Con un auditorio casi lleno (¿cuándo podremos prescindir del "casi" en conciertos como este?) subieron a escena los filarmónicos londinenses y dió comienzo el Concierto para piano núm. 3, de Rachmaninov. En el podio, el director colombiano Andrés Orozco-Estrada, que ya visitó Las Palmas hace un par de años para dirigir la Orquesta Filarmónica de Gran Canaria, dejando muy buen sabor de boca a la afición local. ...

We all mourn for victims of terrorist attack in France. It is impossible to find right words to express what I feel right now, when I think about all those innocent people who were perished in the act of terrorism, horrifying by its cruelty and hatred of mankind, on 13th of November in the centre of Paris. My condolences to victims’ families and the most heartfelt support to those, whom I know in France: orchestras, conductors, musicians, team of Annecy festival, team of Medici.TV. And to all people of France and Paris – courage and strength of mind. Tomorrow’s concert we, Valery Gergiev and I devote to blessed memory of victims… ...
Das BR-Symphonieorchester startet aus der Sommerpause mit einem Rhapsodie-Programm und Werken von Lutoslawski, Enescu, Ravel und Liszt. Hauptwerk des Konzertabends ist Gershwins "Rhapsody in Blue" - dessen Klavierpart der russische Pianist Denis Matsuev übernimmt. Susanna Felix hat ihn zum Interview getroffen. ...
The Russian piano school has in recent times produced a host of pianists capable of playing with great (and sometimes excessive) strength and conviction, yet even among these luminaries the brilliantly accomplished and self-assured Denis Matsuev stands out. His Tchaikovsky certainly packs a punch, as was resoundingly clear from the confident, even strident treatment of the Concerto’s famous opening, but it was also offset by moments of impressive delicacy. ...
The two works on tonight’s programme, both giants of the repertoire, are tricky to carry off for different reasons. Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 23 is so familiar, and is such a barnstorming giant that it can be hard to bring any kind of freshness and subtlety to a performance. Brahms’ Symphony No. 4, Op. 98, on the other hand, suffers from perceptions of his music as heavy, difficult and conservative compared with that of his late Romantic contemporaries. There was also nothing other than these two titanic works to ease the audience in. So how would the Philharmonia Orchestra, conducted by a rather serious Yuri Temirkanov tackle this, along with fellow Russian pianist Denis Matsuev? In short, with simplicity and ease, and, as a result, giving surprisingly refreshing performances of these familiar masterpieces. ...
Russian pianist Denis Matsuev won the 11th International Tchaikovsky Competition in 1998. As one of Russia's leading pianists, he can be heard in a recent recording of Tchaikovsky's First and Second piano concertos with the Mariinsky Orchestra and Valery Gergiev conducting, surely a great combination. ...

Modern technologies allow to release a disc in two stages. Rachmaninoff’s First Concerto for piano and orchestra was recorded in the autumn and released in January, including Itunes. And in April Denis Matsuev and Valery Gergiev recorded two more works. As the result there is a disc with highly unusual combination of musical pieces. All three works are of XXth century, created by three geniuses of XXth century: Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, and Shchedrin. ...
