A popular pianist with both audience and critics wherever he plays, Nikolay Khozyainov is making a welcomed return to Vancouver. In an interview with the San Diego Union-Tribune, Khozyainov talks about his love not just for music, but also for performing, “I always perform with a great joy…Everything I am saying to you through the musical sounds is coming from my heart, my soul. I play and live according to my inner life” – thoughtful words coming from so young an artist. For his Vancouver appearance, Khozyainov will present a varied programme of Chopin’s beautiful Berceuse as well as his Sonata No. 3 in B minor, Debussy’s Suite Bergamasque (which includes the justly famous Clair de lune), Stravinsky’s blistering Three Movements from Petrushka (originally written for Arthur Rubinstein), and his transcription of the final dance from Stravinsky’s ballet The Rite of Spring of 1913.
