Scherbakov, Konstantin

TP 1039190

Described by The Independent as “a poised and dignified performer [with a] dazzling range of color and technical finesse”, Konstantin Scherbakov distinguished discography amounts to some forty CD recordings. Renowned as a champion of lesser-known composers and works, this South African independent label TwoPianists CD release, ‘Eroica’ featuring this master pianist’s interpretation of Beethoven’s ‘Eroica’ Variations together with the famous Sonatas ‘Pathétique’ and ‘Appassionata’, represents his return to the bedrock of the piano literature: the music of Ludwig van Beethoven. Described by Classic CD as a “lifelong Beethovenian”, Scherbakov’s very first public performance was of Beethoven’s First Piano Concerto, undertaken as an 11-year old child prodigy. His prior Beethoven recordings include a highly regarded interpretation of the Diabelli Variations and the cycle all of Liszt’s piano transcriptions of the Beethoven symphonies, both for Naxos. He has also performed all of Beethoven’s piano concertos around the globe, and the pianist’s own conducting debut in 2002 was dedicated to Beethoven’s works.
