Acclaimed by German and international critics as an "incredible talent" and a "true master of the piano," Alexander Koryakin has been playing it since he was nine years old and wanted to make it his career right from the start. Thus, the following year at the age of ten, he gave his first recital consisting of several solo pieces from Bach to Chopin. At eleven he won his first competition. He went on to study at the High school of music of the Republic of Sakha, and the Russian Gnessin Academy of Music in Moscow. He has lived in Germany since 2014. This recording is dedicated to the international pianist Viviane Goergen, which accompanied with great empathy the idea for this program and realized it with great musical understanding and sensitivity.
