	Nikolai Lugansky : An introduction by the webmaster. NOTE: THIS PAGE IS COPYRIGHTED.
		At the age of seven, Nikolai entered the Central School of Music in Moscow and studied with Tatiana Kestner, a former pupil of Alexander Goldenweiser.
		In her last interview before her death, Nikolaeva declared that Nikolai Lugansky was to be "The Next One" in a line of great Russian pianists.
		It was during this difficult period of adjustment that Nikolai had to decide whether or not he would enter the 10th International Tchaikovsky Competition which was to be held in the summer of 1994.

	Beethoven, Chopin, Prokofiev Nikolaï Lugansky (piano), Wigmore Hall, 1pm, Monday January 23rd, 2005 (CC) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Nikolaï Lugansky has been creating a name for himself via his recordings on Warner Classics, so it was revealing to hear him in the flesh.
		Lugansky raised his game as the recital progressed, but Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight’ sonata was an interesting choice, made a little clearer by the announcement in the programme sheet that one of his forthcoming releases on Warner will be of Beethoven Sonatas (which ones was left unspecified).
		More, Lugansky caught the disturbed wistful versus clockwork basis of the second movement to perfection, and found that lovely bittersweet side of Prokofiev in the third.

	Guardian \| Nikolai Lugansky
		Russian pianist Nikolai Lugansky is primarily associated with the music of Rachmaninov.
		He made his name in the UK in the mid-1990s at a Festival Hall performance of the Second Piano Concerto and is now partway through a series of recordings of the complete cycle with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.
		Lugansky is idiosyncratic in both, though also more insightful than many.

	PROM 66 Prokofiev, Shostakovich; Nikolai Lugansky (piano), Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Alexander ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The highlight of this Prom was the incandescent playing of Prokofiev’s youthful First Piano Concerto by of Moscow born pianist Nikolai Lugansky.
		Undoubtedly one of the greatest living exponents of the classical Russian repertoire, despite his youth, Lugansky brought colour and clarity to the score, playing with both great agility and vigour: one second, rippling and sparkling; the next metallic, brittle, bringing hard-edges to the first movement.
		In the closing passages he played like a man possessed, at such great speed his hands were a veritable blur, but despite this frantic velocity, nothing was fudged, and all the notes were given distinct value.

	INKPOT CONCERT REVIEWS: 7th International Piano Festival - Nikolai Lugansky - 1 July 2000
		Nikolai Lugansky, Silver Medallist of the 1994 Tchaikovsky International Competition, took to the stage for the third day.
		Lugansky's pedaling I found to be particularly clean and discernible.
		Lugansky never failed to deliver this and was particularly skilful in the encore of the Moments Musicaux where displayed his sense of colours from the whispering near silence to the sonorous fortissimos rendered with Herculean strength with gusto and panache.

		Lugansky plays the more familiar Piano Sonata No. 6 as only a Russian can, interpreting the well-known opening theme powerfully and some would say too swiftly.
		Lugansky finds the scorn in the waltz movement and brings it to the fore.
		Lugansky's Romeo and Juliet is utterly charming - the well-known 'Montagues and Capulets' excerpt is sensationally played.

	** MULTICHANNEL DISC OF THE MONTH *** TCHAIKOVSKY: Violin Concerto in D Major; Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat Minor ...
		If Tetzlaff and Nagano apply the afterburners for the Violin Concerto, Lugansky and Nagano take the dreamscape for their model of the Piano Concerto’s spacious opening, allowing the piano to bask in the rolling arpeggios and the pizzicati from the strings.
		Once the tempo is set, Lugansky take the twice-repeated figures (a la Schumann) on a leisurely tour with sporadic bursts of fiery passion.
		Lugansky may well be the natural successor to Lazar Berman, the perfect combination of muscle and poetry, athleticism and polished lyricism.

		I have listened to the CD of Lugansky's performance of the Etudes-Tableaux and to the 2 CD's of Petkova's performance of the Preludes and they are both excellent.
		The sound quality of both the Lugansky recording (1992) and the Petkova recording (2002) is crystal clear.
		Nikolay Lugansky is a young pianist who deserves a little more attention than he gets for the moment - judging on these superb Rachmaninov Etudes-Tableaux.

		In the Op 33, Etudes tableaux, he showed not the least sign of strain, so that even the gloom and doom of the last piece occurred like a force of nature, not wilfully imposed.
		But Lugansky's aloof and measured approach did less for Mozart and Beethoven.
		In the first movement of Mozart's F major Sonata, K533/ 494, his division of structure and the less essential notes seemed coldly calculated, his lazy tempo in the middle movement only bearable because he omitted repeats.

		Andantino Simplice - Prestissimo - Tempo I - Nikolai Lugansky
		Christian Tetzlaff, Nikolai Lugansky and Kent Nagano are reliable and trusted interpreters.
		Their performances are certainly reliable and trustworthy, but that won't quite do in these concertos, which need the magic of a Kyung Wha Chung (Decca) in the Violin C'to or the panache of a Marta Argerich (piano) to really take off.
