What started off as a small YouTube series has flourished into a nonprofit media empire that inspires classical musicians around the globe to achieve more, create, and find healing in their art. Living the Classical Life is directed by award-winning cinematographer Peter Hobbs with host Zsolt Bognár. While over 50 episodes exist, we wanted to highlight our top 10 pianist episodes featuring Daniil Trifonov, Yuja Wang, Emanuel Ax, Stephen Hough, Gary Graffman, and five other star pianists.

Bach expert and pianist Eleonor Bindman fastidiously transcribed and released a recording of Bach’s beloved Brandenburg Concertos for piano four-hands on the Naxos/Grand Piano label that will stand the test of time.

Inon Barnatan gears up for a rigorous summer performing eight concertos and two solo recitals on three continents. Highlights include his Asian Tour and a return to the National Symphony and BBC Proms.

Sony Classical proudly announces the release of ADRIFT (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) with original music by German composer, songwriter, pianist, experimental musician and Oscar® nominee, Volker Bertelmann aka Hauschka, available now. STXfilms and Lakeshore Entertainment open ADRIFT now in U.S. theaters.

We recently sat down with the inimitable Russian pianist Nikita Mndoyants to learn of his buzzing career in Europe. While he has been known for years in Moscow and parts of Europe, only recently has he made huge in-roads in the North American market namely winning the first prize at the prestigious 2016 Cleveland International Piano Competition followed by a sold-out Carnegie Hall debut recital in 2017.
