Evgeny Starodubtsev

**Evgeny Starodubtsev** is a Russian classical pianist celebrated for his crisp interpretations of 20th-century repertoire and underappreciated Russian composers. A laureate of the prestigious Honens International Piano Competition, he’s carved a niche for reviving works by figures like Nikolai Roslavets and Samuel Feinberg, whose complete piano sonatas he’s recorded across multiple volumes. Starodubtsev’s discography reveals a penchant for blending fiery technical precision with emotional depth, whether he’s navigating Chopin’s dramatic Scherzos, Stravinsky’s jagged modernism, or Feinberg’s intricate post-Scriabin soundscapes. His Honens Laureate Series album—showcasing Hindemith, Schoenberg, and Szymanowski—hints at his adventurous programming, while his Bach transcriptions and lyrical Chopin recordings highlight his versatility. Though details about his early career remain scarce, Starodubtsev’s growing catalog positions him as a compelling voice for both rediscovered gems and canonical masterworks.
