Nikolai Lugansky

Hailed as the “next” in a line of great Russian pianists by his former teacher, the renowned pedagogue Tatiana Nikolaeva, Nikolai Lugansky has established a regular presence on the world’s most prominent stages. He has been described as “a pianistic phenomenon of exceptional class” (Netherlands' NRC Handelsblad), and his “immense technical fluency and innate musical quality” (Gramophone Magazine) have won him the “Diapason d'Or”, the “Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik”, and the “Gramophone Editor's Choice”.
