From Carnegie Hall to Benaroya Hall

"Perhaps [Denis Matsuev] is a new Horowitz." --London Times

:: ABOUT DENIS MATSUEV ::

World-renowned pianist DENIS MATSUEV makes his first and only Seattle appearance on JANUARY 22 at 7PM at Benaroya Hall. Known for his breathtaking virtuosity and clear artistic identity, prize-winning Russian pianist Denis Matsuev is one of the most sought after pianists on the international concert stage. Since his triumphant victory at the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, Matsuev has appeared in hundreds of recitals at the most prestigious concert halls worldwide. The pianist received critical acclaim for his sold-out Carnegie Hall recital in February of 2010 - an evening about which the New York Times noted, "He superbly offered a primal performance ... the atmosphere was electric." Mr. Matsuev will return to Carnegie Hall for a recital in January 2012 on his concert tour that includes Seattle and Los Angeles. He will also join Maestro Valery Gergiev and the London Symphony Orchestra in early 2012 for a tour of Asia.
