Mikhail Pletnev
ConductorMikhail
Pletnev is one of the most respected and influential artists of our era. His
prodigious talent as a pianist, conductor, and composer has earned widespread
acclaim ever since the 1978 Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition, where
he won First Prize at the age of 21. An invitation to perform at a 1988
diplomatic summit in Washington led to Pletnev’s friendship with Mikhail
Gorbachev and a lifelong commitment to dismantling barriers through the
universal language of music.
In 1990,
Pletnev formed the Russian National Orchestra – the first independent orchestra
in Russia’s history. Under his leadership, the RNO achieved recognition as one
of the world’s great orchestras. Over thirty years later, Pletnev has renewed
his commitment to artistic freedom with his founding of the Rachmaninoff
International Orchestra, named after the celebrated pianist, conductor, and
composer whose own career inspired audiences from all corners of the
globe.
Pletnev’s
performances and recordings have shown him to be an outstanding interpreter of
an extensive repertoire, both as pianist and conductor. His recordings have
earned numerous prizes, including a Grammy Award, the Diapason d’Or, ECHO
Klassik Award, Choc du Monde de la musique, and a Gramophone Award.
Pianist,
conductor, composer and cultural leader — all are significant facets of
Mikhail Pletnev's remarkable life. Yet with his characteristic humility, he
insists that he is, simply, a musician.
