Alexander
Shtarkman Pianist
Alexander Shtarkman’s debut
recitals in Los Angeles, Chicago and New
York City prompted strong words of praise
from audiences and critics alike. Martin
Bernheimer,
Los Angeles Times wrote “Alexander Shtarkman.
Remember the name… He plays the piano with
all the strength, flash and eagerness that
his age would suggest. He also plays with
the sensitivity and mellow refinement one
associates with certain grand old men of
the keyboard, most of them Russian.” James
Keller of The New Yorker staff wrote of
Mr. Shtarkman’s 92nd STREET Y appearance
�{ “Shtarkman’s was a debut recital of importance.
In fact, debuts just don’t come much better
than this. Of the young pianists currently
entering the international spotlight, Shtarkman
is unquestionably among the most musicianly.”
