Official biography, 2015-16 season
The triumphant winner of XV International Tchaikovsky Competition (2015), Dmitry Masleev took the First Prize and the international spotlight with the rare unanimous support from the audience, the jury, and the media. Since the competition, Mr. Masleev has been on an extensive tour, performing in New York, London, Munich, Rotterdam, Stockholm, Tokyo, Beijing, and all over Russia. Next season, Mr. Masleev will make his solo recital debut on the main stage of Carnegie Hall.
“A discovery and a brilliant pianist,” is how his senior colleague Boris Berezovsky describes him; “I was sincerely happy for his success, which is absolutely deserved.” In addition to the gold medal, the distinguished jury of the Tchaikovsky Competition awarded Mr. Masleev a special prize for his interpretation of a Mozart concerto. According to The Neva Time, “the decisions of the Piano Panel were uncompromising. There could not have been a more accurate and fair choice.” Describing the creative character of Dmitry Masleev, music critics note the impeccable technique, sense of form, brilliance, lyricism, and spontaneity of style.
Born and raised in Ulan-Ude, a Siberian town between Lake Baikal and the Mongolian border, Mr. Masleev was educated at the Moscow Conservatory (class of Professor Mikhail Petukhov) and the International Music Academy at Lake Como. During his student years he won a number of international competitions, which lead to touring invitations in Germany, Italy, France, Romania and Russia.
