Once a "Superstar for insiders” (Die Welt), Konstantin Scherbakov is today one of internationally renowned pianists who take a special place in the modern piano world. His creativity and immense contribution to the piano repertoire and recording catalogue are undisputed. Scherbakov established his international reputation by playing the late romantic virtuoso repertoire and made his name through realization of a number of important projects, both in studio and on concert stage. A very special repertoire choice in combination with the prolific virtuosity and deep insight has formed the artist’s profile and fascinated the audiences worldwide. As "one of the most capable, daring and interesting musicians of these days" (Peter Cossé) and in cooperation with labels “Naxos” and “Marco Polo” Scherbakov has completed some of today’s most unique and significant recording projects. Among them – complete piano works by Leopold Godowsky, Respighi and Shostakovich, complete piano concertos by Tchaikovsky, Respighi, Medtner and Scriabin. Whether in less known repertoire, such as Lyapunov, Godowsky and Medtner or in works by Schubert, Scarlatti and Chopin, his new, often unconventional but always profound readings have set new standards and often caused sensation.
