Since winning all the major prizes of the renowned Leeds International Pianoforte Competition in 1996, Russian born Ilya Itin’s consummate pianism has delighted audiences on four continents. He has been praised for “his rare and exciting artistry” and “superb technique” (Daily Telegraph UK). “The perfect pianist Ilya Itin succeeded in transforming the romantic revelry of Rachmaninov’s 3rd Piano concerto into rhythmic force and compactness” (Der Standard Wien).
