The triumphant winner of XV International Tchaikovsky Competition (2015), Dmitry Masleev took the First Prize and the international spotlight with wholehearted support from the audience, the jury and the media. The Neue Musikzeitung reported: “His musicality of metaphysical proportions transformed the hall. There was a feeling that we entered an alternative reality. This sensation continued into the final round with the Tchaikovsky B-minor and Prokofiev Third Piano concertos … The joy and relief on the faces of the jurors said it all: we have found a true winner”.

Since the competition, Mr. Masleev has been on an extensive tour, delighting his audiences in New York, London, Munich, Rotterdam, Stockholm, Beijing, and all over Russia with what the Financial Times described as “virtuoso brilliance”. He was honored to accept Maestro Gergiev’s invitation to play Mozart D-minor and Prokofiev Concerto No.3 with the Mariinsky Orchestra in St. Petersburg during the holiday season.

In addition to the gold medal, the distinguished jury of the Tchaikovsky Competition awarded him a special prize for his interpretation of a Mozart concerto. According to The Neva Time, “the decisions of the Piano Panel were uncompromising. There could not have been a more accurate and fair choice”. Descrivbing the creative character of Dmitry Masleev, music critics note the impeccable technique, sense of form, brilliance, lyricism, and spontaneity of style.
