Viktoria Postnikova is a distinguished Russian pianist celebrated for her profound interpretations and technical mastery across a varied repertoire. Born into a musical family in Moscow on April 12, 1944, she was a child prodigy who went on to study at the prestigious Moscow Conservatory under the tutelage of renowned teachers like Vera Gornostaeva. Postnikova gained international fame after winning prizes at the Vianna da Motta International Music Competition in Lisbon and the Leeds International Piano Competition, which catapulted her into a career of concert performances and recordings with leading orchestras around the world.

Characterized by her deep immersion in the Russian piano tradition, Postnikova's discography includes critically acclaimed performances of the complete piano concertos of Sergei Prokofiev, as evidenced by her release "Prokofiev: 5 Concertos for Piano and Orchestra." She has also lent her exquisite touch to the works of Tchaikovsky, Chopin, and Busoni, exploring the nuances of the Romantic era with a particular affinity for her native Russian composers. Her dedication to chamber music and less frequently performed works is reflected in recordings like "Myaskovsky, Shebalin & Nechaev: Violin Sonatas" and "Schnittke: Symphony No. 8 & Concerto Grosso No. 6." Whether it is through the grandeur of a concerto or the intimacy of a sonata, Viktoria Postnikova's artistry continues to resonate with audiences for its emotional depth and eloquent expression.
