Vesselin Stanev

Vesselin Stanev is a Bulgarian pianist celebrated for his poetic interpretations and technical mastery, particularly in Romantic and late-Romantic repertoire. Born in Plovdiv, he trained at the Moscow Conservatory under Evgeny Malinin before honing his craft in Paris with the legendary Alexis Weissenberg. His recordings, like *Vesselin Stanev plays Johannes Brahms* and *Chopin, Ravel & Rachmaninoff*, showcase his affinity for emotionally charged works, blending crystalline clarity with lush expressiveness. Whether unraveling Liszt’s virtuosic fireworks in *Réminescences de Norma* or collaborating on chamber gems like *Undine – Music for Flute and Piano*, Stanev’s playing feels both intimate and grand. A sought-after performer and teacher, he’s equally at home in Scriabin’s mystical preludes, Schumann’s stormy sonatas, or Beethoven’s dramatic landscapes—always leaving listeners hooked on his storytelling at the keys.
