Info for Inner Impressions

Following her critically-acclaimed Odradek album of Beethoven and Schumann, Liudmila Georgievskaya returns with Inner Impressions, a collection of contemplative and deeply personal works by Tchaikovsky, Mompou and Rodrigo.

The album takes its name from one of Mompou's sets of pieces at the heart of the release, Impresiones intimas. These pieces are characteristically introspective and lyrical, sometimes song-like or picturesque, with even the louder moments possessing an otherworldly quality. Feinberg's transcriptions of Tchaikovsky's Songs for Children represent another thread running through this release: childhood innocence, often detached from the hubbub of adult life and revisited by composers nostalgic for their youth. With the Mompou and Rodrigo works on this album we also find simple descriptive titles that evoke these wistful backwards glances. Performed with grace, delicacy and insight by Liudmila Georgievskaya, this collection is a welcome haven from the distractions of daily life.

Concert pianist, recording artist, and an internationally sought-after pedagogue, Dr. Liudmila Georgievskaya was hailed for her “absolute art, technique, and musicality” by Scherzo Magazine (Spain) and “a sharp, inquisitive mind shaping the performance” by The Guardian (UK).

Winner of top prizes in more than a dozen national and international piano competitions, she has performed in Russia, Italy, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, France, Netherlands, England, Hungary, Cuba, Panama, and the United States. Her performances were broadcast on radio and television programs in Russia, the United States, Uzbekistan, Italy, and Vatican City.

She appeared many times as a soloist with orchestras in Russia, Asia, Latin America, and the United States. Her solo CD with music by Beethoven and Schumann, published in 2013 by Odradek Records, was received enthusiastically by the international press and won two Global Music Awards.

She is a member of Voices of Change, one of the most distinguished new music ensembles in the United States. She also performs in piano duo with her husband Thomas Schwan and with her sister Olga Georgievskaya.

An inheritor of the Russian piano school, she studied in Moscow with Tatiana Galitskaya and Liudmila Roschina, both former pupils of the legendary Russian pianist Samuil Feinberg, Alexander Goldenweiser’s pupil and disciple. She graduated from the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory summa cum laude. She then completed a post-graduate course with Sergio Perticaroli at the Santa Cecilia National Academy in Rome (Italy), followed by the Artist Certificate program at Southern Methodist University (Dallas, USA) with Joaquín Achúcarro.
