Olga Pashchenko

Pashchenko has been among the most exciting performers to emerge on the historical-keyboard scene in the 2010s, with charisma, a wide repertory, and expertise on a large variety of keyboard instruments, including organs, fortepianos, and harpsichords, as well as modern grand pianos. Pashchenko has made numerous recital appearances in Europe and North America, and her concerto collaborations have included those with progressive ensembles such as MusicAeterna Perm and Collegium 1704. Pashchenko made her recorded debut on the Fuga Libera label in 2013. A 2017 Beethoven sonata album on a fortepiano that had five pedals achieved a range of timbres that was probably unprecedented, and promised a strong future for an innovative young historical keyboardist. ~ James Manheim
