Firma Melodiya presents a set of romantic piano music performed by Vazgen Vartanian.
Vazgen Vartanian is one of the brightest representatives of the new generation of the Russian pianistic school. A graduate of the Moscow Conservatory, he has also studied at the Julliard School in New York where he was conferred the degree of Master of Fine Arts.
At different times, Vartanian was a pupil of such famous masters as Lev Vlassenko, Dmitri Sakharov, Andrey Pisarev and Jerome Lowenthal.
The geography of the pianist’s concerts is vast - he has played at some of the best venues of the world, including Lincoln Center in New York, USA, the Tonhalle in Zurich, Switzerland, the Verdi Milan Conservatoire in Italy, the Seoul Arts Centre in South Korea, and others.
This release features three concert programmes by Vazgen Vartanian, performed at the Big and Small Halls of the Moscow Conservatory, as well as at the concert hall of the Russian Gnessin Music Academy in 2010 and 2011, and dedicated to the 200th anniversaries of three great composers of the romantic period - Frédéric Chopin, Robert Schumann and Franz Liszt.
