Anna Fedorova
Already a concert artist at age six, pianist Anna Fedorova has made the transition from child prodigy to an international success. With more than 39 million views as of this writing, an online video of Fedorova performing the Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18, of Rachmaninov is among the most-watched classical music videos of all time.
Fedorova was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union, on February 27, 1990. Her parents were both concert musicians. She started piano lessons at five with her parents and gave her first recital just a year later. At seven, she performed with the National Philharmonic Society of Ukraine. Fedorova won several prizes as a youngster, including the International Frederick Chopin Competition for Young Pianists, and began to land concert bookings. She enrolled at Kyiv's Lysenko Musical College for Gifted Children, studying for five years under a scholarship donated by the president of Ukraine, graduating in 2008. Fedorova went on to the Royal College of Music in London, studying with Norma Fisher, and she rounded out her education with master classes under András Schiff, Alfred Brendel, and Menahem Pressler. Fedorova has appeared with orchestras around the world, including the Dallas Symphony, the Royal Philharmonic in London, and the Hong Kong Philharmonic. She is a frequent guest at festivals, including the International Piano Festival in Trieste, Italy, the Corfu Festival of Arts in Greece, and the International Chamber Music Festival in Koblenz, Germany, and, in 2017, she co-founded and became artistic director of the International Chamber Music Festival in Ede, the Netherlands. She has played chamber music with cellists Benedict Kloeckner and Jamal Aliyev.
Fedorova's recorded repertory has remained squarely in the standard Romantic vein. She recorded a debut recital of music by Chopin, Liszt, and Brahms for Disc Auvers in 2015 and several chamber recordings with Kloeckner for Piano Classics. She then signed with Channel Classics in 2018 and released the album Four Fantasies. She has issued several more albums on Channel Classics, including a pair in 2020, a recording of Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 1 in F sharp minor, Op. 1, with the Sinfonieorchester St. Gallen, and the recital Silhouettes, with violist Dana Zemtsov. Fedorova remained active through the COVID-19 pandemic, releasing the recital Shaping Chopin on Channel Classics in 2021 and returning in 2022 and 2023 with recordings of the rest of Rachmaninov's concertos with the Sinfonieorchester St. Gallen.
