Russian-born Liana Forest has
appeared in concerts throughout the world, receiving acclaim for her virtuoso
skills, musical insight and warm stage presence. Her international career extends
from the concert stage to the recording studio, from summer festivals to Royal
command performances.
Liana grew up a student of a
renowned professor Ludmila Ginsburg, herself a graduate from Moscow Conservatoire
under the tutelage of famous Heinrich Neuhaus (Richter and Gilels were among
his other pupils). Liana inherited
her celebrated teacher's passion and poetic approach, favoring a repertoire
from Romantic periods.
Since 1993 Liana has toured nationally
in the United States under the auspices of Columbia Artists, Inc. appearing
as a recitalist and soloist with symphony orchestras. She was a soloist with
the San Francisco Midsummer Mozart Festival orchestra conducted by George Cleve.
She also appeared in recitals in Germany and Austria, and performed for Princess
Sofia of Romania. Her recent seasons have included appearances on National European
Television in Holland, as well as orchestral and recital appearances in the
US, Africa, Europe and Asia. Her acclaimed recordings of Romantic piano music
are distributed worldwide.
"Liana's
unique artistry stands out because of its passionate, lyrical spontaneity and
masterful technique. Her elegant virtuosity ranges from romantic to whimsical."
