| | | “A pianist of high caliber” (the New York Times), Arkady Aronov was one of the leading musicians in the Soviet Union and a professor at the St. Petersburg Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory. The most prestigious Russian musical journal, Soviet Music, wrote about him: “Aronov is a universalist. He presents any music with equal clarity, expression, and finality. As a most accomplished pianist, he is a welcome sight on any concert stage and should be ranked among the best pianists of our time.”
Arkady Aronov gained a reputation throughout Russia as an outstanding interpreter of baroque, classical, romantic, and contemporary music for the keyboard. He has a vast repertoire, including forty-five complete recital programs and twenty-four piano concerti. In addition to playing over 1,000 recitals and appearing as guest soloist with numerous orchestras and on radio and television throughout Russia's major cities, he presented four historic series of twenty concerts, embracing the music of three centuries, in the Leningrad Concert Hall.
Arkady Aronov premiered many works of leading contemporary Russian composers (Schnittke, Shchedrin, Slonimsky, Tishchenko, and Ustvolskaya, among others) and also introduced some Western compositions to Russia. His performance of Aaron Copland's Sonata received praise for the composer, for whom Aronov gave a special performance in Leningrad.
Dr. Aronov has written numerous scholarly works, including Dynamics, Articulation and Tempi in Beethoven's Piano Compositions, and edited two collections of the concert piano works by the Russian avant-garde. He has also compiled and edited several piano music collections under the title Contemporary Composers for Youth.
In 1977, Arkady Aronov emigrated to the United States, where he has received unanimous critical acclaim for his concert appearances in major concert halls in the United States, as well as in European and Asian countries. He has concertized and given master classes in America (including Yale University, Manhattan School of Music, the Mannes College of Music, and the Longy School of Music), England, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, People's Republic of China (Beijing and Shanghai Conservatories), India, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Hong Kong.
