http://www.musicweb-international.com/SandH/2008/Jul-Dec08/marshev1707.htm Whangarei Recital Oleg Marshev (pf.), Capitaine Bougainville Theatre, Whangarei, New Zealand, 17.7.2008 Brahms - Sonata No. 1, op. 1; Liszt – Spanish Rhapsody; Chopin – Three Waltzes op. 34, Ballade No. 4 op. 52; Scriabin – Two Mazurkas op. 40, Two Poemes op. 32, Vers la Flamme op. 72 The auditorium of the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre admirably fulfils its acoustical design criteria. Although it’s splendid for dramatic productions, an acoustic that’s as dry as dust does tend to drain the life out of “live” music. Fortunately the piano, with its largely self-contained ambience, is relatively impervious to such surroundings. However, this won’t prevent some pianists putting their own murk into the music. The many recordings of the Azerbaijani pianist...

DOMINION EVENING POST Aug. 22, 2006 VISITING PIANIST A PURE PRIVILEGE Sonata No 26 ‘Les Adieux’ (Beethoven); Three Piano Pieces, D 946 (Schubert); Rachmaninov: Corelli Variations, Op 42, Etudes-Tableaux, Op 39 Nos 1 and 2, Preludes Op 23 Nos 2 and 5 Oleg Marshev told Charlotte Wilson on Concert FM’s Upbeat on Tuesday that this was his fifth tour of New Zealand; each managed by that model impresario Helen Collier of Taihape. Each tour involves performances in many, mainly provincial towns: this time he will have given 12 performances. One would not expect a pianist of Marshev’s calibre to undertake such a tour: he records for an international label and has played, inter alia, at the Lincoln Centre in New...

L'ECO DI BERGAMO March 14, 2002 Marshev, degno prologo con Prokof’ev Il pianista russo ha proposto anche pagine di Rachmaninov e Cajkovskij/Pabst Oleg Marshev ha dato una prova, in poco piú di venti minuti, di quello che ci aspetta nel prossimo Festival pianistico. Il pianista russo, talento di primo piano, anche se non celebre come altri “incoronati” dal sistema concertistico internazionale, ha debuttato ieri pomeriggio al “Festival” davanti alla platea affollata del Circolo della Stampa di Milano, mostrando una particolare sintonia con le capricciose evoluzioni di Prokofiev. Evoluzioni che svariavano dalle minuzie vellutate e richiuse sopra se stesse, come assorte in contemplazioni tenerissime e un po’ alienate, passando velocemente a esplosioni di virtuosismo possente e violento, quasi lacerato e brutale....

L'ECO DI BERGAMO February 8, 2003 Bergamo recital Dopo le bizzarrie eccentriche di Francesco Tritano Schlimé, il russo Oleg Marshev ha ricondotto il pubblico della Società del Quartetto, presente in buon numero (circa duecento spettatori), a un pianismo secondo coordinate più consuete. Il virtuoso russo ha articolato la sua serata in due parti abbastanza chiaramente distinte, una "occidentale" se così si può dire, l'altra destinata agli autori della sua terra. Nella prima è emerso parimenti un volto per così dire "accademico" del pianista, attento a rispettare con cura quasi "didattica" gli elementi stilistici e tecnici dei vari Haydn, Czerny e Brahms; nella seconda invece il "fuoco" di una adesione interiore istintiva e appassionata ha caratterizzato le interpretazioni da specialista fuoriclasse...

THE SACRAMENTO BEE August 16, 2000 Rachmaninoff rendered enrapturing by Marshev It’s an annual date that seems to be becoming a relationship: before scattering to their various hometowns across the country, the musicians of the Bear Valley Festival Orchestra drive to Sacramento’s Community Center Theater for one more concert in the hometown of their boss, Carter Nice. In their fourth visit Monday night, the players were greeted more warmly than ever. As before, the solid professionalism of the playing and the dynamism of the conducting clearly earned the ovations. But the soloist, pianist Oleg Marshev, just as clearly raised the pitch of the excitement to a higher level with a fiercely performance of Sergei Rachmaninov masterpiece, the “Rhapsody on a...
