Pavel Kolesnikov at St George's Bristol
About the show
Siberian-born pianist Pavel Kolesnikov returns to St George’s with a beautifully curated programme of Chopin Nocturnes. Hailed as a ‘sculptor in sound’ (Guardian), and one of the finest exponents of Chopin on the planet, Kolesnikov has taken a characteristically thought-provoking approach to his material, separating his choice of nocturnes into three distinct groups. This will be a rare evening of piano music: intimate and limpid interpretations expressed with an effortlessly virtuosic touch.
Featuring - Pavel Kolesnikov
The Telegraph (London) describes Russian pianist Pavel Kolesnikov’s playing as having “brilliance, but also a caressing, almost sly intimacy”. Kolesnikov, who was named Honens Prize Laureate in 2012, studies at Moscow State Conservatory with Sergey Dorensky, at London’s Royal College of Music with Norma Fisher and at Brussels’ Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel with Maria João Pires.
