“Alexander Malofeev manifests the piano mastery of the new millennium in itself”
(Il Giornale)
Alexander Malofeev, the Russian Piano Prodigy
In 2014, at just 13 years old, Alexander Malofeev won the prestigious International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians. Quickly hailed by critics as a “young Russian genius” (Corriere della Sera), he has since established himself as one of the most remarkable pianists of his generation: “Malofeev doesn’t just play the notes; he brings every phrase to life as if it tells something entirely new…” (The Guardian) Born in Moscow in 2001, he now resides in Berlin.
Since his promising debut, Alexander has performed with many of the world’s leading orchestras, including the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, the Filarmonica della Scala, and many others.
He collaborates regularly with some of the most renowned conductors of our time, such as Riccardo Chailly, Mikhail Pletnev, Charles Dutoit, Michael Tilson Thomas, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, and JoAnn Falletta, among others.
As a recitalist, he appears on the world’s most prestigious stages: the Musikverein in Vienna, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Carnegie Hall in New York, the Berlin Philharmonie, Bozar in Brussels, the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg… and many other iconic venues. He is also a frequent guest at major festivals, including the Verbier Festival, the International Piano Festival of La Roque d’Anthéron, the Rheingau Musik Festival (Germany), the Tanglewood and Aspen Music Festivals (USA), the Tsinandali Festival (Georgia), the Master Pianist Series (Amsterdam), and the Celebrity Series of Boston.
Described as “the latest phenomenon of the Russian piano school” (Corriere della Sera), Alexander Malofeev stands out as one of the most captivating and promising artists on today’s classical music scene.
An exclusive Sony Classical artist, he is currently working on his debut album for the label, scheduled for release in autumn 2025.
