NADEJDA VLAEVA

• MS1063 Sample

Calls her talent "God-given..."

Lazar Berman

"her  musicality and the depth of her interpretation amazed me. Her strong and healthy technique was both natural and flawless."

Maestro Hans Graf

"one of those people of extraordinary ability whom we hope for but rarely see."

Arnold Steinhardt, Guarneri String Quartet

"...one of the best [Liszt recitals] I've heard in years...Vlaeva shows a rare sensitivity to every nuance"

Atlanta Audio Society

"From her earliest years as a concert pianist, Nadejda Vlaeva has had a special affinity with the music of Franz Liszt. By far the greater portion of her repertory is presently devoted to the Hungarian master. She was fifteen years old when she arrived at a major turning point in her career by winning the Gold Medal of the International Liszt Competition in Lucca, Italy....Vlaeva's playing is marked by a rich sound, a singing line, and an intuitive grasp of Liszt's musical structures which in the case of his longer compositions, can be complicated. That she has a shining technique, able to cope with any Lisztian emergency, goes without saying."  - Alan Walker, author of the 3-Volume, prize winning biography of Franz Liszt.

Ms. Vlaeva has performed in concerts internationally, giving solo recitals in Bulgaria, Russia, Slovakia, Hungary, The Netherlands, England, Canada, and the United States. She has also appeared as soloist with the Budapest Symphony Orchestra, the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, the Capella Istropolitana in Slovakia and various orchestras in Bulgaria and Holland. Her playing has been acclaimed wherever she has appeared.
