Mikhail Pletnev, a virtuoso pianist of the Russian school, rose to global fame after winning the 1978 Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition. Known for his formidable technique and deep musical insight, his Erato recordings (formerly Virgin Classics) showcase his remarkable versatility and unique ability to bring emotional depth and fresh perspectives to works by Chopin, Haydn, Rachmaninov, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and Mussorgsky. Despite his reserved nature, Pletnev's deeply personal interpretations continue to captivate listeners, solidifying his reputation as one of the most thoughtful and imaginative musicians of his generation.
