Ullman, Alexander - The Nutcracker; Petrushka; Cinderella; The Firebird - Tchaikovsky, Pyotr
Since winning the 2017 Franz Liszt Competition, British pianist Alexander Ullman has appeared
at many of the world’s great venues and with some of the world’s major orchestras – The
Philadelphia Orchestra, Norwegian Radio Orchestra, St Petersburg Philharmonic, Montreal
Symphony, Netherlands Radio Philharmonic and the Royal Philharmonic. He has worked with
Vladimir Ashkenazy and Markus Stenz to name just two conductors, and performed at the
Wigmore Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Concertgebouw and Gewandhaus, Kimmel Center and
Kennedy Center. For his debut album Alexander has chosen Russian ballet repertoire arranged
either by the composers, or in the case of The Firebird by Busoni pupil Guido Agosti, and Mikhail
Pletnev for Tchaikovksy’s Nutcracker Suite. This is a highly virtuosic programme that showcases
Alexander’s extraordinary technique. His is a name to watch!
