About the Artist

First Prize winner of the 2001 Busoni Competition, Ukrainian pianist Alexander Romanovsky “is special, not just an extraordinary technician with a flair for color and fantasy, but also a sensitive musician and lucid interpreter… Mr. Romanovsky’s effortless ability to dispatch swirling steams of agitated passagework and myriad colorings comes through excitingly. Yet for all the fireworks there is a wondrous clarity and grace in the playing” (The New York Times). 

“Romanovsky laid bare an astonishing technique allied to interpretative insight” (Bachtrack).
