The Russian piano duo in the Rector's Palace
The great Russian pianists Boris Berezovsky and Alexander Ghindin performed as part of the Vip program of the 62nd Dubrovnik Summer Festival, on Thursday the 18th of August in the Rector's Palace Atrium.
Punctuated by musical sensibility, Boris Berezovsky made an avid reputation, as a concert soloist, with regular performances with the best world orchestras and philharmonics, and he cooperates with respectable conductors. His exceedingly strong pianist expressions amazed the Festival audience last year by perfectly expressing Liszt’s “Transcendental Etudes”. In the piano duo Alexander Ghindin will also perform, a pianist well known to the Festival audience. This gifted Russian pianist, schooled at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatorium, had concerts all over Europe with just thirteen years, from Italy, Israel, Hungary, Great Britain, Belgium and France. He played in many world-class music seats of the world and played with the most famous orchestras.
These two great pianist virtuosos, whom critics throughout the world “true heirs to the great Russian pianists”, performed an attractive program composed of works by more modern composers- Arenski’s Suite and Rahmaninov, 4 “Ragtimes” by William Bolcom, Copand’s “Danzón Cubano” and Gershwin’s “American in Paris”.
