Wiener Symphoniker, Alexander Malofeev at Philharmonie Berlin

About the Event

The performer was Alexander Malofeev, then 21 years old, who stepped in for a prominent colleague. Critics even hailed the pianist as heralding a “piano revolution.” The young artist has indeed been unwaveringly pursuing his path since winning the prestigious International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Artists in Moscow at the age of 13. He has now reached the “very top,” thrilling audiences with his brilliant technique and as a “lyricist with a penchant for enthusiasm” (Die Presse). It is a real stroke of luck that Alexander Malofeev is currently able to perform on concert stages around the world. Since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Malofeev has been in artistic exile. Immediately after the outbreak of war, he found refuge in Berlin and was able to settle there.

At the concert in his new home city, he will perform Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5. He will be accompanied by none other than the Vienna Symphony Orchestra under the baton of its principal conductor Petr Popelka, who impresses with his captivating energy and natural musicality.
