Dmitry Masleev

Dmitry Masleev is a classical pianist, winner of the 2015 International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. Born on May 4, 1988 in Ulan-Ude, a Siberian town between Lake Baikal and the Mongolian border, Mr. Masleev was educated at the Moscow Conservatory in the class of Professor Mikhail Petukhov, and at the Lake Como International Piano Academy in Italy.

Masleev won the 7th Adilia Alieva piano competition in Gaillard, France (2010), The 21st Chopin Premio Piano competition in Rome (2011), Antonio Napolitano competition in Salerno (2013), 3rd prize in the 2nd Russian Music Competition in Moscow (2014), and the International Tchaikovsky Competition (2015) where he won the First Prize Gold Medal^[1] as well as a special award for the performance of the Mozart D-minor Concerto.

Masleev has performed all over the world, in such countries as Russia, Japan, USA, Italy, China, and England, and has collaborated with such conductors as Valery Gergiev and Yevgeny Svetlanov. In January 2017, Carnegie Hall will present Mr. Masleev's highly anticipated debut at the Isaac Stern Auditorium with a recital programme featuring works by Scarlatti, Beethoven, Liszt, Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev. The 2016-17 season will also see him perform in Paris twice: at the Philharmonie de Paris and the Fondation Louis Vuitton.

In his first touring season Mr. Masleev made a series of successful debuts, establishing his world-wide audience and developing his profile as a "future great pianist" (La Croix^[2]) of "virtuoso brilliance" (The Financial Times), "musicality of metaphysical proportions" (Neue Musikzeitung^[3]), "discovery of a new and real talent" (Classic Toulouse^[4]), portraying "wonderfully fragrant landscapes" (Aachener Zeitung^[5]) whilst "cleverly breaking down sound levels" (Utmisol^[6]). Amongst the most notable performances are those at the Klavierfestival Ruhr, the Philharmonie am Gasteig in Munich, la Roque d'Anthéron and Bergamo & Brescia piano festivals, two tours of Japan with Valery Gergiev and Yury Bashmet, the French debut with Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, the opening gala of the Istanbul Festival, as well as the last-minute replacement for the indisposed Maurizio Pollini in Basel.

“A discovery and a brilliant pianist,” is how senior colleague Boris Berezovsky describes Mr. Masleev, who will be performing a solo recital at the greatly acclaimed Pianoscope Festival in France, directed by Mr. Berezovsky. The two pianists will give a pair of duo recitals in Moscow later in the season, playing the music of Bartók and Liszt.
