The pianist, conductor, and composer Mikhail Pletnev is an “all-round" musician who defies categorization. He was born in Archangel, Russia, in 1957. His parents were both musicians, and Pletnev displayed exceptional musical talent from an early age. When he was 13, he began to study the piano at the Moscow Conservatory with the famous pianists and teachers Jacob Flier and Lev Vlasenko. In 1978, Pletnev won the Gold Medal at the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in Moscow. As a result he was able to make concert tours outside the former Soviet Union throughout Europe, Japan, the USA, and Israel. Over the years Pletnev has also appeared as soloist with Herbert Blomstedt and the San Francisco Symphony and Leipzig Gewandhaus orchestras, Lorin Maazel and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Kent Nagano and the Hallé Orchestra, Carlo Maria Giulini and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, and others.
