Precision and Passion – Pianist Yevgeny Sudbin
Update: 2025-03-21
Description
Yevgeny Sudbin is one of the most thrilling pianists of his generation. His playing combines intoxicating virtuosity with remarkable precision, and he is equally compelling in Scarlatti, Beethoven, and Rachmaninov. In the RONDO podcast with Chris Lloyd, the Russian-born pianist discusses his musical identity, Alexander Scriabin’s eccentric letters, and his love of Berlin currywurst.

Born in Leningrad in 1980 to pianist parents, Yevgeny Sudbin began his studies at the Special Music School of the Leningrad Conservatory. After emigrating to Berlin at the age of ten, he continued his training at the Hanns Eisler Academy before studying under Christopher Elton at the Purcell School and the Royal Academy of Music in London. He also worked with Murray Perahia, Leon Fleisher, and Dmitry Bashkirov. A BIS artist since 2005, Sudbin has recorded works by Mozart, Beethoven, Rachmaninov, and Scarlatti. He made his BBC Proms debut in 2008 and performs worldwide with leading orchestras. Yevgeny Sudbin is currently a visiting professor at the Royal Academy of Music in London.
