BR131 - ROMANTIC
MASTERPIECES, In the Mirror of the Fleeting Ages
Svetlana Potanina, Piano
Russian pianist Svetlana Potanina
began her musical studies when she was only 5 years old and
gave her first concert at the tender age of 8. After graduating
from the Central Music School for gifted children, she studied
with Boris Zemlyansky at the Moscow State Conservatory.
This led to an active concert
career and a teaching position at the Moscow State Conservatory.
In 1978 Ms. Potanina was awarded a gold medal at the International
Festival named after Katya Popova in Bulgaria and a medal
for the development of the arts. As a concert artist she has
toured in 42 countries and played in many of the most prestigious
concert halls.
SVETLANA POTANINA was awarded 2002 Best Creative
Project and Best Pianist of the Year in an event sponsored
by the publishing house of the advertising and informational
magazine “Best of the Best”
“Svetlana Potanina...is
a brightly-expressed lyricist...Her Chopin (BR125)
is not the author of the little dance pieces, but a creator
of the impressionistic images, of the thin and sometimes deeply
concealed moods, of the expressive little scenes of everyday
life.
Leo Ginsburg, Meritorious Representative of the Arts, Russia
“Svetlana Potanina (BR
131) theatrically conveys the thoughts of the composer
and overcomes seemingly insurmountable musical complexities
with an amazing lightness.”
A. Kandinsky, Doctor of Arts
