FREIES WORT. Poulenc – Double concerto

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. ASHEVILLE

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...

Classic FM. Ravel, Debussy, Franck

Classic FM November 2009 Ravel Two Concerti; Debussy Fantasie, Franck Symphonic Variations Oleg Marshev pf Sonderborg Symphony Orchestra / Vladimir Ziva Danacord DACOCD 672 Ravel's concertos are chalk and the cheese: the Left Hand is a psychological shocker; the G major is filled with the exuberant energy of the Jazz Age. Marshev doesn't sell either mood short - his Left Hand is bleak, sombre and probing, while he swings effortlessly through the mischievous jazz clichès in the Concerfto in G. The debussy and the Franck receive correspondingly insightful performances PC

Piano News. Ravel, Debussy, Franck

Piano News March 2010 Ravel Two Concerti; Debussy Fantasie, Franck Symphonic Variations Oleg Marshev pf Sonderborg Symphony Orchestra / Vladimir Ziva Danacord DACOCD 672 Maurice Ravels Klavierkonzert G-Dur ist dem Jazz verschrieben, und vielleicht hatte der Komponist gar einkalkuliert, dass kaum jemand die synkopisch ineinander verschachtelten, rasenden Akkord-Repetitionen allesamt trifft. Der aus Bаku stammende aserbaidschanische pianist Oleg Marshev trifft sie, meistert die kräftezehrenden Trillerketten  in der rechten Hand und das komplette Akrobatik-Programm dieses Konzerts überhaupt bravours. Glänzend geht das Sonderjyllands Symfoniorkester unter Vladimir Ziwas Leitung dabei mit und lässt sich von den kraftvollen Grooves mitreissen. Marshevs technische Brillanz ist ein Genuss genau wie seine hohe Musikalität und der Witz, der mit Zivas Lesart dieses Werkes korrespondiert. überwältigend agiert auch die...
