“Malofeev is a marvel to witness, showcasing impeccable technique that seems to transcend the limitations of the instrument itself.” Bachtrack

“Malofeev’s artistry is truly remarkable for a young pianist who is at the beginning of what hopefully will be a long and fruitful career.” Boston Classical Review

Russian pianist Alexander Malofeev came to international prominence a decade ago when he won the International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians at age 13. He has since established himself as one of the most prominent pianists of his generation, with a reputation for meticulous technique and a searching, fiery intensity of interpretation. He received repeated standing ovations at Tanglewood for a performance The Boston Globe called “lyrical, sensitive and haunted,” adding that “he brought down the house.”
