Piano Recital

"Tebinikhin's elegant readings of OP. 76 go to the heart of the composer's sublimated passion-without slighting the occasional playfulness."
- San Jose Mercury News/ Dallas Morning News/ Daily Press (Scott Cantrell) April 1, 2001

"He is a strong, assured pianist with virtuoso fingers and resonant, unforced sound. His playing is very natural: no fancy tricks, no technical splurges. He just lets the music unfold in a free, natural manner...If he comes your way, catch him."

"Winner of the 1999 Vienna Da Motta Piano Competition, the Russian-born Amir Tebenikhin has had a busy concert career. Tebenikhin carries the banner very well. He is a strong assured pianist with virtuoso fingers and resonant, unforced sound. His playing is very natural: no fancy tricks, no technical splurges. He just lets the music unfold in a free, natural manner. Obviously he is not a specialist. He is at home in Brahms as he is in Debussy and Prokofieff.

The three Debussy Preludes he has selected...each has a strong profile and an idiomatic feel. His Brahms is authentically presented: again, a straight delivery, fine rhythm, and flowing melodies. Tebenikhin, quite young (b.1977) should have a fine international career. He keeps busy, playing all over Europe and the West. If he comes your way, catch him."
