Founded by brothers Anton and Nikolay Rubinstein, the legendary Russian piano school developed a signature approach to piano performance that is celebrated for its profound musicality and masterful pianism. These traditions continue to flourish by way of disciples such as Sergei Babayan, who studied at the Moscow Conservatory with teachers Gornostayeva, Naumov, Pletnev and Vlasenko. David Dubal of the Juilliard School talks about the history and traditions of the Russian piano school.
Sergei Babayan has won first prize in several major international competitions and has performed in major concert halls throughout Germany. He is an enthusiastic advocate of new music and has an immense repertoire. David Dubal is a pianist, teacher, writer and broadcaster. An acknowledged authority on piano literature, Dubals acclaimed books include The Art of the Piano, Evenings with Horowitz, Reflections from the Keyboard and Conversations with Menuhin.
I will never forget Babayans performance of Scarbo/Ravel durng the Queen Elizabeth Compettion in Brussels some 20 years ago.Amazing.
