Pianist Anna Vinnitskaya between Scriabin’s virtuosity and Ravel’s colors.
It is no exaggeration to say that the young Russian pianist Anna Vinnitskaya, who has been based in Germany for several years now, grew up in a world where music reigns supreme. Just consider: her grandfather was a conductor at the Odessa Opera, her parents are both pianists and piano teachers, her uncle Alexander Vinnitski, a student of Oistrakh, is a concert violinist and now teaches at the Helsinki Conservatory, and her brother is a percussionist... Winner of the First Prize at the Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2007, she enjoys a brilliant career as a recitalist, soloist, and teacher. For this second recital at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, she has chosen a repertoire she knows inside out. The evening begins with Ravel, Scriabin, then Brahms and Rachmaninov.
A new opportunity this evening to showcase the full range of her technical virtuosity and her sense of color.
