简介:
Kirill Gerstein’s curiosity and versatility has led to an intense engagement
with a wide range of repertoire and styles. From Bach to Adès, his playing
is distinguished by its clarity of expression, discerning intelligence and virtuosity.
Gerstein’s energetic and imaginative musical personality has taken him rapidly to the top of
his profession.
2015 saw the release of the world premiere recording of Tchaikovsky’s First Piano
Concerto in the composer`s own final version from 1879. The recording won an
ECHO Klassik award and was nominated for a BBC Music Magazine Award. Based
in Berlin, Kirill Gerstein appears world-wide in performances ranging from concerts
with the Chicago and Cleveland Orchestras, the Royal Concertgebouw, Vienna
and Berlin Philharmonics, to recitals in London, Paris and New York. He is the sixth
recipient of the prestigious Gilmore Artist Award, presented every four years to an exceptional
pianist who, regardless of age or nationality, possesses broad and profound musicianship
and charisma, and who performs internationally at the highest level. The prize enabled
Gerstein to commission new works by Oliver Knussen, Chick Corea, Alexander Goehr, Brad
Mehldau and Timothy Andres.
The New York Times named Gerstein’s first recital disc for myrios classics featuring works by
Schumann, Liszt and Knussen one of the ten best recordings of 2010. His second solo disc,
Imaginary Pictures, featured Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition” and Schumann’s “Carnaval”.
Between the releases came discs with Tabea Zimmermann featuring sonatas by Brahms,
Schubert, Franck, Clarke and Vieuxtemps, of which the Second Volume was awarded the Diapason
d’Or de l’année 2013.
Born in 1979 in Voronezh, Russia, Kirill Gerstein attended one of the country’s special music
schools for gifted children and also taught himself to play jazz by listening to his parents’
record collection. Following a chance encounter with jazz legend Gary Burton in St. Petersburg
when he was 14, he was invited to attend the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where
he studied jazz piano but also continued his classical piano studies. At the age of 16, he
decided to focus on classical music and moved to New York City to attend the Manhattan
School of Music, where he studied with Solomon Mikowsky. He continued his studies with
Dmitri Bashkirov in Madrid and Ferenc Rados in Budapest.
