Vadim is prize winner of the 29th Masterplayers International Music Competition in Lugano (Switzerland)

With gestural clearness

Vadim Chaimovich fascinates the audience at the summer concert in Convent Medingen

THE YOUNG PIANIST from Lithuania, whom the abbess Monika von Kleist introduced as "the friend of the house", because "one will imagine no summer concert without him", enchanted and fascinated the audience in the convent chapel once again… This extraordinary concert grew wings of beauty and poetry in a way which combined technical brilliance, intense interpretation and high aesthetic demands. The artist’s execution of Bach’s "French Suite" was subtle and expressive… Vadim Chaimovich sits at the piano as if he were inventing the notes at this very moment, as if he were only fantasizing… Lasting applause at the end!

«Enjoying musical pastorals»

by Okka Mallek


[Vadim Chaimovich] presented an elegantly harmonized programme, spanning a wide musical range from Haydn over Beethoven and Chopin to Rachmaninoff. The two-movement Haydn sonata no. 41 in B flat Major performed in a relaxed and playful manner was a promising lead up. However, it was in the following two early Beethoven sonatas op. 14 that the pianist revealed his distinct conceptional intentions. His gracefully sounding, reciting playing was always the main characteristic feature [...]. To play the three nocturnes op. 9, the first of the four Impromptus and the two waltzes op. 34 as a whole was a brilliant idea and a great success. The hearers were captivated by the tonal noble-mindedness, emphatic voicing and poetic storytelling. The three preludes by Sergey Rachmaninoff were a test to the young pianist's virtuosity - his performance was technically brilliant, marked by characteristic playful lightness and elegance.

«A brilliant lead up»

The piano recital given by the outstanding Vadim Chaimovich (an exceptional pianist, indeed!) turned out to be a brilliant lead up to the 13th Ludingshausen Summer Festival... With works by Haydn, Beethoven, Chopin and Rachmaninoff he covered the range of virtuosity and sensitivity which reached and excited his listeners...
Chaimovich's perfect technique, legerdemain and sensuality touched the audience's souls. He was deservedly rewarded with applause which would not cease. He thanked the classic fans with encores by Chopin, Scarlatti and Haydn.   -jet-

«The third marvellous concert with Vadim Chaimovich»

Last Saturday the Lithuanian pianist Vadim Chaimovich gave his third performance at the Hallenburg, and just like his concerts in 2006 and 2007, this one again filled the numerous guests in the Gartensaal with enthusiasm... He demonstrated technical brilliance and straight expressiveness, rigid, powerful and very accentuated playing in Robert Schumann's Forest Scenes op. 82. Charming were the well-known impromptu and the buoyant waltzes by Chopin, which the pianist virtually lived through... The thunderous applause with several curtain calls was followed by two encores.

«Melody floated over music»

The young Lithuanian pianist was brilliant at Haydn, Mozart, Chopin and Rachmaninoff. Due to his excellent technique and fine musicianship he succeeded in creating a remarkable variety of rhythmic nuances and timbres, he let melodies float over music with astonishing transparency...

«An evening full of romanticism»

From the very beginning the pianist let the music just be itself... He asserted nothing except what the pieces themselves expressed... Very often the piano sounded like a complex carillon...
[In the sonata op. 5 by Brahms] he went the way inwards. In the fast movements he came on strong with technical fireworks, making the beauty of the cantilenas shine in the slow movements. From these starting points he got to the core of the music. He turned his attention to the overall architecture and created opulent trends...
