Nelly Akopian-Tamarina returns to Wigmore Hall
following last year’s sold out recital
Wigmore Hall, 23 March 2009, 7.30 pm
Following her sold-out Brahms recital last season, when she returned to the London concert platform after many years’ absence, Russian pianist Nelly Akopian-Tamarina makes a return to Wigmore Hall on March 23 with an atmospheric programme of middle-European mood scenes.
Blocked by official censorship in Russia from giving public concerts for more than a decade, Moscow-born Nelly Akopian-Tamarina has revisited Russia in recent years to give concerts at the Bolshoi Hall of the Moscow Conservatoire and also in Kiev.
She was the last student of Goldenweiser and the first of Bashkirov, and through her teachers carries on an illustrious branch of the old Russian piano tradition, reaching back to Liszt, Siloti, Blumenfeld, and Anton Rubinstein.
Her recordings of Schumann’s Fantasie and late Brahms will be released later this year by Brilliant Classics as part of the boxed set, “Legendary Russian Pianists”.
