Mikhail Korzhev - Biography

Mikhail Korzhev, a pianist that “projects strength, atmosphere and the ability to tangle even the knottiest passages…” (International Record Review) is equally active as a solo recitalist, a performer with various chamber groups as well and a soloist with orchestras. His performances received a high critical acclaim from American and European press…”The young Russian pianist… displayed a notable technical mastery which allowed for passionate moments of ardent lyricism as well as wonderful purity and fluency…” (Momento Sera, Rome).”Korzhev belongs to that exclusive club of super musicians…he already performs like a keyboard legend…he is a major talent.” (Salt Lake Tribune). His particular interest in contemporary music has lead Korzhev to participate in the Virginia Waring International Piano Competition in 2005, which had the emphasis on the music of Ernst Krenek. As a winner of that competition in September of 2006 Korzhev gave a recital in the Vienna’s Konzerthaus about which the Wiener Zeitung wrote: “Korzhev obviously has much affection for Krenek’s personal style, due to this the listener experiences the dramatic qualities of the work…” Following the success of his Vienna debut Korzhev recorded a CD of Krenek’s piano music, released by Phoenix Edition/Naxos Records in the Summer of 2008 that became an instant top seller and received several very enthusiastic reviews in the press. Korzhev’s second CD recording featuring compositions for piano solo as well as works for violin and piano (in collaboration with Alyssa Park) by a prominent English composer Gerard Schurmann was released by Toccata Classics in February 2012 to a critical acclaim. A different recording project - a compilation of 40 classical standards for the online music library Megatrax.com came out in June 2012. Korzhev combines his performing career with teaching. He is currently on the faculty of the University of Southern California, California State University, Fullerton and Chapman University. Since 2008 Korzhev is the faculty member at the Beverly Hills International Music Festival. In the summer of 2009 he taught a summer course at the Bosendorfer Piano Academy in Vienna, Austria. Korzhev holds a doctorate in piano performance from University of Southern California, where he studied with Daniel Pollack. His previous teachers include Alexander Satz and Vera Khoroshina at the Moscow Conservatory College.
