Nikita Mndoyants’s playing is exceptionally precise and beautifully balanced. There is no doubt that the major prizes he has won for composition point to an exceptional musician, far removed from literal interpretations. He is also an outstanding pianist, as evidenced by the Grand Prize he won at the Cleveland International Piano Competition. A highly engaging musician, he has just released a critically acclaimed album dedicated to Prokofiev. A rare pianist to discover.
“With exceptional, evocative flexibility, the pianist illuminates another facet of Prokofiev, a composer he knows well and has been playing since his teenage years. Beneath the structure and rhythmic logic, Nikita Mndoyants explores multiple counter-melodies, often dreamlike and subtly lyrical, which reveal a rich inner life and boundless imagination. New sonic and poetic landscapes are now possible, completely renewing our understanding of Prokofiev. (Classiquenews, Philippe Alexandre Pham)
