In 1991, in the International Mozart Competition in Salzburg, a young Russian pianist won Grand Prize - which was the first time since 1956 that Grand Prize had been awarded in this competition. It was Andrei Pisarev. On October 10 2006 the reviewer Gunilla Boström wrote in Swedish newspaper “Helsingborgs Dagblad”: “In April 2004 I believed that Andrei Pisarev was the best pianist I have ever heard, and this opinion remains after his recital… The expression “World pianist” is not an exaggeration regarding him.
Andrew specialises in performing early organ music, informed by experience of historic organs and an understanding of period performance techniques. He has recorded the complete organ works of Thomas Tallis. Organists’ Review noted that he is “a player of authority in this period of keyboard music.”.
