Antonii Baryshevskyi

The Ukrainian pianist Antonii Baryshevskyi has delivered on the promise shown by a long string of prizes during his student years, succeeding to an unusual degree in combining mainstream Romantic pieces with difficult modernist repertory in his programming. Baryshevskyi was born in Kiev in 1988. He took up the piano at seven and enrolled at the Lysenko Special Secondary Music School in Kiev. Baryshevskyi won first prize at age 16 on a Ukrainian television program called Man of the Year and moved on to the National Music Academy of Ukraine, studying with Valerii Kozlov through the doctoral level. He finished off his studies at the Ecole Supérieure de Musique in Paris in the class of Marian Rybicki, and in master classes with Alfred Brendel, among others. Baryshevskyi has notched a long list of prizes, beginning in 2004 with top honors in the IV International Piano Competition (as performer-composer) in St. Petersburg, Russia. Among his major competition honors are a second prize, an audience prize, and a press prize at the Busoni International Piano Competition in Bolzano, Italy in 2011; a first prize at the Interlaken Classic in Berne in 2014; and a first prize at the Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition in Tel Aviv that same year. These wins propelled Baryshevskyi to no fewer than six festival appearances in 2014 and 2015, in South Korea, the U.S., Denmark, Germany in Eisenach and Essen), and Switzerland; he was already a veteran of Ukrainian and Russian festivals. Baryshevskyi has performed with the Munich Radio Orchestra, the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philharmonic Orchestra of Ukraine, the Gubernator's Orchestra of St. Petersburg, Heidelberg Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Ciudad de Granada Orchestra, among other groups. In his Wigmore Hall debut in London, Baryshevskyi performed an ambitious program consisting of three sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti, Ligeti's Musica Recercata, three Chopin mazurkas, and Robert Schumann's Piano Sonata in G minor, Op. 22. His recorded catalog has shown similar diversity, including Mussorgsky, Scriabin, the six piano sonatas of Galina Ustvolskaya for the CAvi-music label, and, in 2018, the piano part in the rarely heard choral Hymne au Soleil of Lili Boulanger.
