Undisputedly one of the most dexterous and gifted minds in classical music, Andreï Korobeinikov is not only one of today’s leading pianists, but also one of the most searching and extraordinary artistic interpreters of our time. Former student at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, he obtained a post-graduate performance degree from the Royal College of Music, London and is awarded a prize of the “Best Musician of the Decade”.

Korobeinikov now enjoys a top-level career as a concert pianist, performing with many of the world’s leading orchestras such as the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Budapest Festival Orchestra, Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Munich Symphony Orchestra, NHK Symphony Orchestra Tokyo, St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre national de France or the Wiener Symphoniker. Amongst those conductors with whom Korobeinikov has made lasting musical partnerships are Alain Altinoglu, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Iván Fischer, Lawrence Foster, Okko Kamu, Mikhail Pletnev, Andris Poga, Yuri Temirkanov, and Antoni Wit.

It is in recital that Korobeinikov’s expansive mind and extraordinary musical gifts perhaps find their most symbiotic balance: he has become renowned for his fascinating programming skills, in which poetry and literature meet music in perfect harmony, performing at Het Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Teatro alla Scala, Tonhalle Zürich, and London’s Wigmore Hall, Théâtre des Champs Elysées…

In addition, Andreï Korobeinikov is a devoted chamber musician. His piano trio with Vadim Repin (violin) and Alexander Kniazev (cello) is widely celebrated, meeting with glowing critical acclaim.

Korobeinikov’s discography is a testament to his breadth of repertoire and his unparalleled interpretative gifts. His recordings have earned numerous awards, including the prestigious title of Diapason d’Or de l’année. Amongst his output, Korobeinikov recorded the complete works for solo piano of Scriabin, and Shostakovich’s two piano concerti (the latter with the Lahti Sinfonia/Okko Kamu, for the Mirare label). As a chamber musician, he made celebrated recordings with Alexander Kniazev (a Brahms album, on the Bayerisher Rundfunk label), with Johannes Moser Rachmaninov and Prokofiev, and just recently, Martinu Sonatas for Pentatone).

Korobeinikov holds more than 20 international prizes. Amongst his major victories are winning First Prize at the Scriabin International Piano Competition, Moscow (2004).
