Interview with Kirill Gerstein
on: June 01, 2014, 04:46:51 PM
Hi, Everyone,

Hope you're all having a great summer. Our latest interview is with 2001 Rubinstein winner, Kirill Gerstein. Trained as a jazz pianist, we asked him about Art Tatum and Thelonious Monk, his thoughts on piano competitions and his experience as a student of Dmitri Bashkirov.

As always, many thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed following the Rubinstein competition :)
