Discover Talent: Arsenii Moon

1st Prize, Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition 2023

He is a »sound magician«, his »fine and brilliant technique full of nuances«, his »very personal« style with a »unique sense of poetry in music«. They are all right, these reviewers who praise Arsenii Moon for his artistic qualities. After all, the native of St Petersburg in his mid-20s is already a household name to many in the piano world. His latest coup: at the Busoni Competition in 2023, he not only won first prize and four special prizes, but also the Benedetti Michelangeli Prize, which is only awarded in the event of a unanimous jury decision – i.e. rather rarely, the last time being almost 30 years ago. Arsenii Moon makes his Hamburg debut with a programme that is as varied as it is demanding, ranging from Bach to Chopin and Rachmaninov.
