Svetlana Potanina
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. Her first international musical recognition came
when she participated at the Giovanni Battista Viotta musical competition in Italy.
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 (Chamber
of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation, Department of the Russian
Agency of Economic Safety and Risk Management, ROOSMS For the Single World
Community).
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...The new CD of Svetlana Potanina is a worthy addition to Chopins legacy,
an addition valued very highly, like it deserves to be valued, by the worshipers
of the art of piano performance.

Svetlana
Potanina (BR 131) theatrically conveys the thoughts of the composer and
overcomes seemingly insurmountable musical complexities with an amazing lightness.
