Info for Arc Romantique



On his first GENUIN album, the versatile pianist Alexey Lebedev demonstrates how broadly one can grasp the concept of romanticism. The prizewinner of international competitions spans a wide range of well-known and loved works of the 19th century on his album: from Ludwig van Beethoven's Sonatas op. 109 and 110 to the nocturnes and a polonaise by Frédéric Chopin and Franz Liszt's Dante Sonata. The eloquence of Beethoven's late works, Chopins romantic character pieces, and Liszt's literary and musical reflections, together with Lebedev's clear interpretation, allow the boundaries between classical and romantic, and between absolute and program music to merge!

He has gained valuable musical insight from such world-famous pianists and teachers as Alfred Brendel, Dmitri Bashkirov, Leon Fleisher, Xu Zhong, William Grand Nabore, Joaquin Soriano, John O’Conor, and Tamas Ungar.

Alexey Lebedev was born into a musical family in St. Petersburg in 1980—his father was a conductor.

Since 1998, he has won 15 first prizes at competitions in Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands and Bulgaria.

Lebedev studied with Tatiana Kravchenko and Tatiana Zagorovskaya at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, graduating summa cum laude. He also studied at the Universityof Music, Drama and Media Hannover with Mi-Kyung Kim, Matti Raekallio and Einar Steen-Nökleberg.

He has appeared as a soloist with numerous orchestras including the Janacek Philharmonic Orchestra, the Haydn Orchestra, the Euro-Asian Philharmonic Orchestra, the Changwon Philharmonic Orchestra, the Orquestra de Valencia, L’Orquestra Simfònica del Vallès (OSV), the String Academy Bolzano, the Carlo Coccia Symphony Orchestra and the St. Petersburg State Conservatory Symphony Orchestra. He has worked with renowned conductors such as Arthur Fagen, Salvador Brotons, Daejin Kim, NanSae Gum, Tomas Brauner, Alessandro Ferrari, Max Bragado, Patrick Lange and Algirdas Paulavicius.
