About the Artist
After placing; among the winners of the prestigious Tchaikovsky Prize in 1966, Aleksander Slobodyanik soon rose to preeminence in the musical life of the Soviet Union, appearing with leading Soviet orchestras and in recital in all major cities. The following year he made his debut appearance in Western Europe, followed in 1968 by a triumphant United States debut. Several subsequent tours have won new plaudits, including two standingroomonly recitals in Lincoln Center's "Great Per?formers" Series in New York. He has also appeared in Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, Denver, New Orleans, and on many university campuses. In 1973 he performed as soloist with the Leningrad Philharmonic during their U.S. tour, and participated in a special concert at the United Nations. As a recording artist, he has been hailed by critics and the public for his interpreta?tions of Prokofiev, Haydn, and Chopin.
Tonight's recital is Mr. Slobodyanik's first performance in Ann Arbor, as he presents the third concert of the Debut Recital Series.
