Katya Apekisheva Plays Mussorgsky & Shostakovich

Katya Apekisheva, piano

Mussorgsky & Shostakovich
Pictures at an Exhibition - Preludes

Trained at the fabled Gnessin school, she has such rock-solid technique that she can focus entirely on what she wants to do with it. Her "Old Castle" had noble restraint, her "Tuileries" were gracefully unhurried, her "Unhatched Chicks" kicked up a storm, her "Great Gate of Kiev" climaxed in a blaze of magnificence.
Until this sensational concert, Katya Apekisheva had been a slightly shadowy figure on Britain's pianistic scene. Not any more.' Michael Church, The Independent (Wigmore Hall, December 2011)
Katya Apekisheva makes her solo ONYX debut with the work that brought the house down at her recent recital in London's Wigmore Hall. Katya has appeared on disc for ONYX accompanying Maxim Rysanov - ONYX 4033 Brahms Viola, and regularly performs with Jack Liebeck and Natalie Clein.
