“The latest phenomenon of the Russian piano school” (Corriere della Sera),

“Alexander Malofeev manifests the piano mastery of the new millennium in itself” (Il Giornale)

Young “Russian genius” (Corriere della Sera) came to international prominence when, in 2014, he won the International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians at age thirteen. “Contrary to what could be expected of a youngster …, he demonstrated not only high technical accuracy but also an incredible maturity. Crystal clear sounds and perfect balance revealed his exceptional ability” (Amadeus). Malofeev has quickly established himself as one of the most prominent pianists of his generation.

Alexander’s recent appearances include a Asia tour with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra under Riccardo Chailly, with the Orchestra del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari under Mikhail Pletnev, concerts in the UK with Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and Kirill Karabits, concerts in Italy with RAI National Symphony Orchestra and Fabio Luisi. In 2022-2023 season, Malofeev has his debuts at 4 major summer festivals: Verbier Festival, Ravinia Festival, Aspen Music Festival with Vasily Petrenko and Tanglewood Music Festival with Michael Tilson Thomas; as well as his concerts in Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, Philharmonie Luxembourg, Isarphilharmonie in Munich and many others.

Maestro Riccardo Chailly said about the pianist: “I first heard Malofeev when Valery Gergiev performed with him at the Teatro alla Scala three years ago. He was only 14, and he amazed me with his talent. Because that is not just a child prodigy: he is very young, but already possesses depth and technical abilities, and also musical and mnemonic, which makes him an excellent interpreter of the 3rd Concerto of Rachmaninov, which is a problem for many pianists in the world.” (Corriere della Sera, October 2019).

Alexander was born in Moscow in October 2001. The pianist studied at two legendary Moscow institutions: Gnessin Moscow Special School of Music and Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory.
