About the Artist
Anthony Ratinov
Hailed for his “unwavering energy and precision” (La Scena Musicale), American pianist Anthony Ratinov captivates audiences worldwide, commanding the stage with “class, style, technical mastery, and solo prowess” (Beckmesser).
Ratinov is the recent winner of the 3rd Prize at the prestigious 2024 Concours Musical International de Montréal, where he was praised for his “striking confidence in taking risks” and for his ability to “go beyond the virtuoso challenge and have fun with the music” (Le Devoir). Ratinov also won the 2nd Prize at the 2023 Busoni International Piano Competition with his performance of Prokofiev’s Third Piano Concerto, lauded for “sporting a pianism at the highest level … with admirable dexterity and stainless precision” (L’Ape Musicale).
Anthony has appeared as a soloist with orchestras across Europe and North America, including a recent sold-out performance of Chopin’s F minor Piano Concerto at Barcelona’s iconic Palau de la Música Catalana. His solo concert tours have spanned the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, and the United States, with appearances at renowned venues such as Amsterdam’s The Royal Concertgebouw, Vienna’s ORF RadioKulturhaus, and Washington D.C.’s Kennedy Center. His debut CD, featuring works by Albéniz, Scriabin, Chopin, and Bach, is set for release in 2024 under KNS Classical.
Anthony began his musical journey at the age of four under the tutelage of his grandmother, Edit Ratinova, who taught at the renowned Gnessin Music School in Moscow. As an undergraduate at Yale University, Anthony majored in chemical engineering and studied piano with Wei-Yi Yang. He completed his graduate studies at the Yale School of Music, studying with Boris Berman and Boris Slutsky, and is currently pursuing an Artist Diploma at The Juilliard School in the studio of Robert McDonald.
