Misha Dichter

First prize-winner of the 1966 Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, Misha Dichter is best known for his distinctive interpretations of Russian Romantic era pieces as well as German Classical styles. He has appeared with virtually all of the world’s major orchestras, performing the grand virtuoso compositions of Liszt, Rachmaninoff, and Tchaikovsky, as well as music from the central German-Viennese repertoire. He has released numerous acclaimed recordings including the Brahms piano concerti with Kurt Masur and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. His solo works include the Handel Variations, Beethoven piano sonatas, and Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with Neville Marriner. Most recently, he recorded Stravinsky’s Piano Concerto on a CD that Fanfare called “one of the few really important Stravinsky discs to come out in recent years.”
