Russian-born American pianist Natasha Paremski has been a fixture in both North American and European concert halls since coming on the scene in 2006, when she took home the prestigious Gilmore Young Artists Prize in Michigan. Paremski was born in Moscow in 1987, taking up the piano at age four under the tuition of Nina Malikova at Moscow’s Andreyev School of Music. She moved to the U.S. with her family when she was eight and quickly acquired American citizenship; at nine she made her concert debut with the El Camino Youth Symphony in California. The Gilmore prize was followed by other important ones: the Prix Montblanc in France, the Orpheum Stiftung in Switzerland. She was named Young Artist of the Year by the Classical Recording Foundation in 2010. In the U.S., Paremski studied at the San Francisco Conservatory and at Mannes College of Music in New York, from which she graduated in 2007. Paremski has performed with major orchestras around the world. In North America these have included the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, Nashville Symphony, and Minnesota Orchestra; in Europe, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Vienna’s Tonkünstler Orchester, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Orchestre de Bretagne, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, the Tonhalle Orchester in Zurich, and Gidon Kremer’s Kremerata Baltica in Latvia. She made a Chopin recording with the Moscow Philharmonic when she was in her teens, but she considers a 2011 recital of music by Brahms, Prokofiev, and Gabriel Kahane (whose sonata was written for her) her real debut. After recording Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov concertos with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s own label, the album was reissued on the U.S. Steinway & Sons label, which has specialized in the revival of classic pianism. Paremski seemed a good choice: the American Record Guide raved that “comparisons with Argerich should not be given lightly, but Paremski is so clearly of the same temperament and technique that it is unavoidable here.” With Maxim Vengerov, she supplied music for the film Twin Spirits, starring Sting, about the creative lives of Robert and Clara Schumann. ~ James Manheim
