Rob Overman, MonteVerdi.tv CEO and Editor-in-Chief, said: “MonteVerdi.tv is really looking forward to hosting the webcast of Gavrylyuk’s Master Pianist series debut for this month’s Live webcast. It is great to see Gavrylyuk and Riaskoff, his management, embracing Live streaming as a way to reach audiences that haven’t had the chance to see this exceptional talent in the flesh.”
Tickets for the Live webcast are available from www.monteverdi.tv/
In his debut Concertgebouw webcast Alexander Gavrylyuk will play a bold and populist repertoire showcasing his energy, fire and technique. Mozart’s festive ‘Trumpet’, ‘Hunt’ Sonata will be followed by the virtuoso and seldom played live “Paganini Variations” of Johannes Brahms. After “Toccata and Fugue”, Johann Sebastian Bach’s masterpiece, Gavrylyuk will finish the concert with twenty tense, breathless minutes of Sergei Rachmaninov’
The extremely gifted Ukrainian master pianist Gavrylyuk has won many prestigious competitions including the Japanese Hamamatsu International Piano Competition aged 16, Gold and First prize at the Horowitz International Piano Competition and the 11th Arthur Rubinstein Masters Piano Competition in 2005. In November 2009 Alexander Gavrylyuk will record and perform the complete Prokofiev concerti with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy.
