Pianist Ilya Itin Recital

Pianist Ilya Itin presents "A Tribute to Scriabin & Rachmaninoff" on July 21st at 7:30 PM at the Barry University GATO Gallery.

Since capturing the Gold Medal, BBC Audience Award, and Contemporary Music Prize at the 1996 Leeds International Piano Competition, Ilya Itin has performed throughout the world to rave reviews and sold-out houses. His powerful artistry and mastery of wide ranging repertoire continues to bring him abundant praise from music critics. "I'd go to hear him play the phonebook," remarked BBC TV's Ian Burnside. The critic at the Philadelphia Inquirer called his 2012 recital in Princeton a "Top Ten Musical Moment of the Year" and wrote: "Undoubtedly, Itin is a major pianist, with an ease about him that makes you want to listen to him for hours." Of that same concert the New York Times critic wrote: "Ilya Itin a brilliantly insightful pianist who offered a superb recital" New York Times, July 2012

Ilya Itin has collaborated with many of the world's great conductors, including Sir Simon Rattle, Neemi Jarvi, Christoph von Dohnanyi, Yakov Kreizberg, Vassily Sinaisky, Valery Polyansky, and Mikhail Pletnev.
