About

After the international success of Camille Saint-Saëns’ five piano concertos in two single volumes, Audite now presents the complete piano concertos as a reissue on double SACD.

Anna Malikova was born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. She studied in Moscow with Lev Naumov at the Central Music School and at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, where she graduated in 1991.

In 1993 Anna Malikova won 1st Prize at the ARD Competition Munich - the only first prize for a pianist in 12 years. This success established Anna Malikova in the international music scene. Today she gives solo-recitals and is in demand as a chamber music partner and as a guest soloist with orchestras all over Europe, South America, the Middle and Far East.

Besides her busy concert schedule, Anna Malikova continuously increases her recorded repertoire: the main works by Chopin and works by Schubert, Liszt, Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Soler. In 2006 her Vol II of Saint-Saëns for Audite received the coveted Classic Internet Award.

This second installment in Audite's complete series of Saint-Saëns piano concertos completes what easily is the finest modern reference edition for these beautiful, underrated works. As in the previous release, Anna Malikova displays all of the classical virtues that the composer requires: gleaming tone, polished scales, shapely phrasing, and most of all, a light touch that makes whatever tempos she chooses flow effortlessly…Sonically this is state-of-the-art. Audite has captured a totally realistic balance between soloist and orchestra, ideally clean and clear. I look forward to years of pleasure living with these performances, and I can't recommend them highly enough. They really do set a new standard for performances of these works, and even if you know them well you will come away from this disc more impressed with the music than you probably thought possible.” - Classicstoday.com (on Vol.2)
