Roman Borisov, Klavier

Perfect technique is definitely not enough. As an artist, it is important to broaden your horizons, says Roman Borisov: look at art, read books, go to the theatre, be inspired. He is grateful that he was able to think outside the box during his studies, that psychology, philosophy, history and languages were also part of the curriculum at his university. His broad horizons and nuanced view of things are evident in his subtle playing. In his first appearance at the Alte Oper, he proved his pianistic roots in the traditional Russian school with powerful, virtuoso works by his compatriot Sergei Rachmaninov.
