GAZZETTA DEL SUD March 3, 1995 Il pianista russo protagonista di tre serate consecutive Marshev virtuoso di razza con rilevanti doti di tenuta MESSINA - È possibile, dopo un programma monografico su Prokofiev, conversare amailmente col publico sulle scarse fortunc di Medtner in rapporto ai contemporarei Rachmanininov e Scriabin, e dopo il bis dedicato a Medtner, snocciolare con assoluta sicurezza lo Studio op.10 n. 1 di Chopin (vale a dire la summa della tecnica deg1i arpeggi)? È possibile mantenere questo genere di freschezza per tre serate conseculive a regalare al pubb1ico persino qualche Studio trascendentale di Liszt? Tanto è possibile se ci si chiama Oleg Marshev, il pianista russo, autentico virtuoso di razza, che ha eseguito in tre concerti, proposti da1la...

NORTHERN ADVOCATE June 5, 1998 Short of superlatives for pianist's sheer artistry Every now and then one gets the opportunity, or rather the privilege, to attend a recital by a visiting artist whose sheer artistry and brilliance makes one sit absolutely goggle-eyed and filled with wonderment by the pure magic of the event. This was Oleg Marshev, a most charming personality both on and off the keyboard, who presented an excellently varied and representative programme by some of the greatest keyboard composers. (more…)

FREIES WORT February 1996 The conductor Oleg Caetani and pianists Konstantin Scherbakov and Oleg Marshev are on the same spiritual wavelength.. Their respective biographies make impresseive reading, raising expectations which are not disappointed in their performances. It was thanks to the two world-class pianists Konstantin Scherbakov and Oleg Marshev that the audience enjoyed the Poulenc concerto so much. They fully exploited the possibilities given them by the composer, playing with virtuosity, wit, temperament, elegance and imagination…Despite their highly contrasting physical approaches at the keyboard - one concentrated and introspective, the other showing his emotions more readile - their ensemble never faltered. Russische “Troika” und exzellente philharmonie Suhler Publikum feierte Solisten und Orchester Manchmal führt den Zufall eine glückliche Hand, Jene...

CITIZEN-TIMES November 23, 1999 Symphony's Russian program rich in technical virtuosity ASHEVILLE - Playing the impassioned, exciting music of three great Russian composers, the Asheville Symphony Orchestra conducted by Robert Hart Baker was in top form Saturday evening before a large audience in Thomas Wolfe Auditorium. Although Asheville audiences are overly fond of responding to even the most mediocre performance with a standing ovation, Saturday's efforts by orchestra and soloist -were richly deserving of the most emphatic accolade an audience can offer. After a spirited performance of Tchaikovsky's crowd-pleasing "Marche Slav," the orchestra and distinguished young Russian soloist Oleg Marshev presented a masterful interpretation of Sergei Prokofiev's formidable "Piano Concerto No. 3 in C major, Op. 26." In recent years, Asheville...
