The British music magazine “The Gramophone” reviewed Oleg Marshev’s
recording of Prokofiev music as “one of the most authoritative and
impassioned performances on disc so far”. His interpretation of the “War”
trilogy being recently awarded the prestigious accolade “Classic CD Choice”
against such competitors as Richter, Berman, Ashkenazy.
Born in Baku, former USSR, OLEG MARSHEV trained with Valentina Aristova
at the Gnesin School for Highly Gifted Children and with Mikhail Voskresensky
at the Moscow Conservatory where he completed his Performance Doctorate in
1988 gaining the Diploma with Honor. Marshev is thus a direct representative of
the fifth generation of Russian pianism since Liszt, through Alexander Siloti,
Konstantin Igumnov and Voskresensky’s teacher, Lev Oborin. Resident in Italy
since 1991, Marshev has received awards in several international piano
competitions in Canada, Italy, Portugal, Spain, USA, including 4 first prizes. The
illustrious competition victories have confirmed the artist’s reputation as one of
the most talented Russian pianists of his generation.
1991 saw his New York debut with a highly acclaimed recital at the Lincoln
Center’s Alice Tully Hall. The following year he appeared at the Amsterdam
Concertgebouw which led to other invitations to perform at this prestigious
hall. Since then he has performed throughout the world from Canada to New
Zealand, performing with such orchestras as London Philharmonic and
appearing at such important venues and festivals as Wigmore-Hall of London,
“A.B. Michelangeli Festival” of Brescia-Bergamo, Italy, Ruhr Klavier Festival,
Germany, Festival at Roque d’Antheron in France.
Alongside his concert engagements, Oleg gives masterclasses in many different
countries and is a Professor at the Anton Bruckner University in Linz, Austria.
Oleg Marshev’s first recording project was the complete original works for solo
piano by Prokofiev (5 CDs) for Danacord Records. He has since recorded over
35 CDs for the same label, featuring works by Schubert, Brahms, Strauss,
Rubinstein, Rachmaninov and others. He has made the world premier recording
of Emil von Sauer’s complete piano music in 6 volumes. Another result of the
artist’s abiding interest in little-known or forgotten music is a recording of
Danish romantic piano concertos in 4 CDs. Oleg Marshev is probably the first
pianist ever to have recorded the complete works for piano and orchestra by the
great Russian Four – Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Prokofiev and Shostakovich.
In July 2014 two releases came out – Chopin – Complete works for piano and
orchestra in two CDs and Mendelssohn – Complete works for piano and
orchestra in four CDs.
All Marshev’ recordings have been received to widespread critical acclaim by
leading international publications. His Shostakovich Concerti disc was reviewed
thus by BBC Music magazine: “Marshev a phenomenon – master of every mood
from strip-cartoon crispness to thundering monster, but above all a controlling
sensibility of intelligence and feeling”.
