Her radiant sound and poetical interpretations could sometimes reduce audiences to tears   The New York Times, Harold Schonberg.

Joyful piano playing to warm the heart and thrill the senses  The Daily Telegraph, Geoffrey Norris

Poche pianiste vantano un tocco così luminoso, lieve eppure tagliente. Ideale per padroneggiare il registro pianistico acuto come lo vuole Liszt (e Chopin, altro suo autore elettivo), di cui sa musicalmente indirizzare anche forza torrenziale e gusto per la complessità tematica. Ma della Kravtchenko incantano ancor più autorità, naturalezza esecutiva e scioltezza interpretativa.  La Repubblica, Angelo Foletto.

Cosa si può desiderare di più fastoso ed emozionante del suono di Anna Kravtchenko? C’è qualcosa di caravaggesco nel suo pianismo, una sorta di ebbrezza sontuosa della materia sonora e insieme di quella pittorica che pare gonfiarsi nell’aria e nei sensi.  Rivista Musica, Gianni Gori.

Definita dal quotidiano olandese Het Parool “il miracolo della tastiera”, ANNA KRAVTCHENKO si impone nel panorama del pianismo internazionale dopo aver vinto nel 1992, a soli 16 anni, il primo premio all’ unanimità al prestigioso Concorso Internazionale “Ferruccio Busoni”.

Nel corso della sua carriera ha suonato per le maggiori istituzioni musicali europee come: la Philarmonie di Berlino, la Goldener Saal del Musikverein di Vienna, il Concertgebouw di Amsterdam nella “Meesterpianisten serie”, la Tonhalle di Zurigo, la Sala Verdi di Milano per le “Serate musicali”, la Herkulessaal di Monaco di Baviera, il Ruhr Klavier-Festival, la Salle Gaveau di Parigi, il Festival La Roque D’Antheron, la Wigmore Hall di Londra, la Victoria Hall di Ginevra, il Festival “Piano Aux Jacobins” di Tolosa, il Festival di Bergen, il Festival di Brescia e Bergamo, per citarne alcuni. Si è esibita, inoltre, in Giappone, in Sud Africa, negli Stati Uniti ed in Canada.

Ha suonato con la BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, la Swedish Radio Symphony, la Baltimora Symphony Orchestra, l’Orchestra da Camera della Radio Bavarese, l’Orchestra da Camera di Losanna, la Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra, la Residentie Orchestra, la Essen Philharmonic, la London Royal Philharmonic, la Baltimora Symphony Orchestra, la English Chamber Orchestra, la Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, la Israel Chamber Orchestra, l’Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI, ecc.

Nel 2006 ha registrato un cd per la DECCA Records, con un programma interamente dedicato a Chopin. Nello stesso anno Anna Kravtchenco ha vinto negli USA l’International Web Concert Hall Competition.

Il suo ultimo CD per la DECCA dedicato a Liszt è stato recensito con cinque stelle ed ha ricevuto l’assegnazione del titolo “Cd del mese” sulle principali riviste italiane comprese Amadeus, Classic Voice, Suonare News e Musica.

Anna Kravtchenko, dopo essere stata docente per ben 15 anni presso l’Accademia Pianistica di Imola, dal 2013 è docente di pianoforte presso il Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana a Lugano.

Ha studiato all’Accademia di Imola dove era stata amessa “Ad Honorem”.
