“Alexander Malofeev manifests the piano mastery of the new millennium in itself.” Il Giornale (Italy)
At just 18 years old, the exciting young Russian pianist Alexander Malofeev already has a glittering record of achievement as a soloist. A multiple prize winner at international competitions since the age of 13, where “he demonstrated not only high technical accuracy but also an incredible maturity” (Amadeus) in the famed International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians, he has quickly established himself as one of the most prominent pianists of his generation. Malofeev’s recent appearances include a tour with the Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala, with the Mariinsky Orchestra in St. Petersburg commemorating the 175th anniversary of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, concerts at the Hong Kong Arts Festival, with the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra in Tokyo and with the Orchestra of the National Academy of Santa Cecilia in Rome.
