Info for Stravinsky: Complete Music for Solo Piano



From the Silver Age romanticism of the early Sonata in F sharp minor, through the Shrovetide peasant festivities of Petrushka and a clutch of Jazz Age miniatures to the neo-Bachian computations of the Sonata and Serenade in A, Stravinsky s ever-changing preoccupations can be traced through his music for piano, his own instrument. Oxana Shevchenko is minutely attuned to the specific character of each piece whether a simple character study for children or a glitteringly virtuosic tour de force and brings her Russian heritage and training to this most cosmopolitan, yet ultimately most Russian, of composers. Oxana s first recording for Delphian came hot on the heels of her success at the Scottish International Piano Competition in 2012. A Gramophone Editor s Choice , it was much lauded by critics universally. Her other competiton successes include First Prize at the International Premio Franz Liszt Competition, Italy (2015), First Prize and Gold Medal at the Chappell Medal competition at the Royal College of Music (2013) and First Prize at Sheepdrove Piano Competition, Newbury (2012), and Fifth Prize and the Chamber Music Prize at the Sydney International Piano Competition, Australia (2016).

Oxana Shevchenko, piano



Oxana Shevchenko
is internationally recognised as a pianist of outstanding artistry, sensibility, and versatility.

She is equally in demand both as a soloist and as a chamber musician. In 2010 Oxana won the First Prize at the Scottish International Piano Competition.

“Shevchenko was next with Prokofiev’s Second Piano Concerto. She has been, frankly, gobsmacking since the start, and was absolutely consistent in her delivery of the Prokofiev: total power, complete clarity of articulation and a phenomenal level of musicianship that is already world class.” ~ The Herald Right after her triumph Oxana worked with Delphian Records on her debut recording, released in 2011, which includes works by Shostakovich, Mozart, Liszt, and Ravel.

“This is the most exciting debut disc to come my way for some time... I look forward eagerly to her future releases” ~ Gramophone (Editor’s Choice).

Other Competition successes include: First Prize at the International Premio Franz Liszt Competition, Italy (2015); Fourth Prize, the International Music Critic Prize and a Special Prize for the best interpretation of Busoni’s work at the Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition in Italy (2009)​; Fifth Prize and the Chamber Music Prize at the Sydney International Piano Competition of Australia (2016); Third Prize at the Sendai International Music Competition in Japan (2007) with a special prize for the best interpretation of a 20th Century concerto; Third Prize at the China International Piano Competition in Shanghai (2009)

Career: Oxana gave her first performance as a soloist with the Kazakh State Symphony Orchestra at age of nine and made her Western debut in Vilnius with the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Juozas Domarkas in 2004. Oxana has since performed with symphony orchestras across the globe including the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, Radio Symphony Orchestra Pilsen, Orchestre National de Lorraine, Sendai Philharmonic Orchestra, Norrlands Operan Symphony Orchestra, Filarmonica de Stat Transilvania, Wuhan Philharmonic Orchestra, Panama State Symphony Orchestra, and the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra.

Oxana has worked with conductors such as Vladimir Ashkenazy, Martyn Brabbins, Pascal Verrot, Koji Kawamoto, Rumon Gamba, Emmanuel Siffert, Tolepbergen Abdrashev, and Anatoly Levin.

In 2016, in collaboration with French/German cellist Christoph Croisé, Oxana won the First Prize at the Salieri-Zinetti International Chamber Music Competition in Verona-Mantova (Italy).

In 2011, Oxana won the Best Accompanist Prize in the Tchaikovsky International Competition, performing with the winner of the competition, the Armenian cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan.
