Elisaveta Blumina

The ECHO classic award winner Elisaveta Blumina, steeped in the great Russian piano tradition in the style of Heinrich Neuhaus, is one of the outstanding pianists of the younger generation and considered to be one of the best interpreters of the music of the 20th and 21st centuries. Her teachers have included Radu Lupu, András Schiff, Evgeni Koroliov and Paul Badura-Skoda. In addition to internationally acclaimed recordings of works by composers such as Nikolaj Kapustin, Fazil Say, Sergej Prokofiev and Dmitri Shostakovich, Blumina is currently spearheading the rediscovery of the Polish-Jewish composer Mieczyslaw Weinberg; a series of recordings featuring all of the composer‘s piano works and some of his chamber music is currently being produced for the „cpo“ and „Capriccio“ labels. Blumina gives concerts worldwide with the most prestigious orchestras, such as the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra, the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra and the RTE Orchestra in Dublin. She is also a popular guest at Carnegie Hall in New York, the Elbphilharmonie and the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg, the Berlin Philharmonic, the Auditorio Nacional in Madrid, the Gasteig in Munich and the St. Petersburg Philharmonic.
