The Georgian born pianist Dudana Mazmanishvili has appeared as a soloist in Germany, Russia, France, Poland, Italy, and the United States. Highlights of her career were recitals at the Phillips Collection in Washington, the Rockefeller Auditorium in New York, as well as in the Max-Josef-Hall of the Munich Residence, La Salle Cortot in Paris and the Musikverein in Vienna, performances that were broadcasted subsequently. She also won the Nadia Reisenberg award and appeared in the Merkin Hall in New York. As the August Everding Prize winner she performed a Mozart Concerto in the Philharmonic Hall of Gasteig in Munich for the composer’s birthday concert in January. On November 6th, 2007 Dudana gave her Carnegie Hall Debut concert. Harris Goldsmith wrote: She is a true conjurer… Dudana conveyed the deep sensuality of a burnished orchestra and also the irresistible warmth of a Kirsten Flagstad or Friede Leider. I am sure that this is what Liszt and Wagner really wanted!”
Dudana’s concert debut took place at the age of eight when she performed Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Georgian State Orchestra. By age 14 she played Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Tbilisi Symphony Orchestra. Dudana’s performance of Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 3 with the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie was praised highly, when the press described her as a “soloist who captured the soul of the music…. She captivated the audience with her sensitive, poetic sound…. She plays with bravura and great virtuosity.” Last year she performed the concerto again on a German tour with the Prague Symphonic Orchestra.
Dudana is a prizewinner of numerous international piano competitions, including the 2007 Busoni Competition in Italy and the 2005 Washington International Piano Competition. Other noteworthy successes were the Nicolai Rubinstein International Competition in Paris, where she was awarded the top prize. She has appeared at many international music festivals and won the Solo Recital Award of the Merano International Music Festival in Italy and the International Keyboard Festival in New York. In 1998-2001, Dudana received the annual Honorary Prize awarded by the President of Georgia to talented young Georgians.
She received her first piano lessons, at age three, from her mother Tamar Apakidze. Since 1998 Dudana has been a student of Prof. Elisso Virsaladze in Munich. 2005 she continued her studies with the American pianist Jerome Rose in New York.
In November Dudana released a CD recorded by the Bavarian Radio for the Label OEHMS Classics with works by Bach, Busoni, Liszt and Rachmaninoff. It was rated as the CD of the month by the German Classical Radio BR4 among others.
Dudana was named Rising Star of the year by Musical America and International Piano: “ Her superb pianism strikes a rare balance between the characteristic virtuosity and showmanship of the Russian school and the Teutonic intellectual discipline one also expects from a born-to-the-manner classicist.”
