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.

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.

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.
