Zlata Chochieva

Pianist Zlata Chochieva was a student of Mikhail Pletnev and specializes in the music of Chopin and Rachmaninov. A modern-day representative of the grand Russian school, she records for the Naïve label. Chochieva was born on March 1, 1985, in Moscow. She is of Ossetian background, and in 2005, she became the youngest artist ever to win the Honored Artist of the Republic of North Ossetia - Alania award. Chochieva took up the piano at age four at the Flier Children's Music School in Moscow. Within a year, she was giving recitals and sight-reading Chopin's waltzes, and at eight, she played a Mozart concerto in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. Chochieva matriculated at the Central Music School of the Moscow Conservatory in 2000, studying with Pletnev, who discovered her as she played a concert in the Great Hall, and Kira Shashkina. Chochieva graduated from the Moscow Conservatory's main program in 2008, studying primarily with Pavel Nersessian and Oleksandr Bondurianskyi. She went on for post-degree studies at the conservatory, completing them in 2012 and taking master classes with various top-flight pianists, including Paul Badura-Skoda, Stephen Kovacevich, and Abdel Rahman El Bacha. In 2012, Chochieva made her debut on the Piano Classics label, releasing an album featuring Rachmaninov's Chopin Variations, Op. 22, and Piano Sonata No. 1 in D minor, Op. 28. She made several more recordings for Piano Classics. Chochieva rounded out her education at the Graduate School of the Mozarteum in Salzburg, studying with Jacques Rouvier; she worked for a time as his assistant. Chochieva has appeared at many major concert halls in Europe and the U.S., including the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Vienna Konzerthaus, and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Florida. She has appeared with such orchestras as the Copenhagen Philharmonic, the Russian National Orchestra, and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Nice. Chochieva moved to Berlin in 2019. In 2021, she released (Re)Creations, an album of transcriptions, on the Accentus label. She was signed to Naïve and released her debut album there, Chiaroscuro, in 2022, following that up with Im Freien in 2023.
