Pianist Alexander Malofeev is hailed as one of the most prominent artists of his generation. He began studying at the Gnessin Moscow Special School of Music and made his breakthrough at age 13, winning First Prize at the 2014 International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians. Malofeev regularly performs with leading orchestras and is celebrated for his maturity, technical mastery, and interpretations of virtuosic romantic repertoire like Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3.
Malofeev won numerous competitions from a young age, including the Grand Prix at the 2016 Grand Piano Competition and the 2017 Premio Giovane Talento Musicale dell'anno. In 2017, he became the first Yamaha Young Artist. Sony Classical released his recording of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto in 2020. Now based in Berlin, he performs internationally to widespread critical acclaim for his musical depth and technical abilities.
“Malofeev is a marvel to witness, showcasing impeccable technique that seems to transcend the limitations of the instrument itself. Yet, what sets him apart is his ability to infuse each note with a profound sense of expression, thereby weaving an impactful narrative.” -Bachtrack
