Born in Argentina, Alma Petchersky is a Canadian pianist with credentials as a BBC Artist of sweeping critical acclaim. Her debut at the illustrious Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires marked her as one of the outstanding pianists of her generation. Since then, she has become an artist of international calibre, with six recordings on the ASV, Lontano, and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation labels, and who has performed with great success across Europe and the Americas. Reviews of her concerts at Wigmore Hall and the Kennedy Centre were glowing, and Gramophone has praised her performances as "alive with fantasy and brilliance".
The release of her sixth CD, a CBC Musica Viva release of the works of Joaquin Turina, prompted The International Record Review (U.K.) to note its “thrilling shots of spirited bravura.” Last year, following appearances in New York and Toronto, she recorded a third volume of works by Villa-Lobos for the ASV label. Other live performances given by Ms. Petchersky in 2002 included a tour of Japan, featuring recitals and solos with orchestra in Tokyo, Nagoya, Shanghai, Nanjing and Fukuoka. |
