Anna Fedorova Rachmaninov

Already a concert artist at age six, pianist Anna Fedorova has made the transition from child prodigy to an international success. With more than 27 million views as of this writing, an online video of Fedorova performing the Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18, of Rachmaninov, is among the most-watched classical music videos of all time. Fedorova was born in Kiev, Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union, on February 27, 1990.

Anna Fedorova is one of the world's premier pianists. From an early age, she demonstrated an innate musical maturity and outstanding technical abilities. Her international concert career took off while she was only a child, and audiences around the world were stunned by the depth and power of her musical expression. For this all-Rachmaninov program, she is joined by Modestas Pitrenas and the Sinfonieorchester St. Gallen. Fedorova says, "Throughout my life Rachmaninov and his music have had a special place in my heart. Even though I am Ukrainian and was born in Kiev many decades after the October revolution, I always felt a connection to the old pre-revolutionary Russia. Rachmaninov was never able to return to, or even visit his home country after emigrating from Russia, but his homeland always remained in his heart, and is always reflected in his music."
