About the artist Mikhail Pletnev

The pianist, conductor and composer Mikhail Pletnev is an ‘all-round’ musician who defies categorization. He was born in Archangel, Russia, in 1957. His parents were both musicians, and Pletnev displayed exceptional musical talent from an early age. When he was 13, he began to study the piano at the Moscow Conservatory with the famous pianists and teachers Jacob Flier and Lev Vlasenko. In 1978, Pletnev won the Gold Medal at the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in Moscow and, as a result, was able to make concert tours outside the former Soviet Union throughout Europe, Japan, the US and Israel. Over the years he has appeared as soloist with many of the world’s leading orchestras and conductors.
