In January of 1988 in Voronezh at the All-Union pianists audition
for the international competition "Prague Spring", a real revelation
was the appearance of Sergei Tarasov, a student of the Central Music School at
the Moscow Conservatory. The jury unanimously chose him out of 49
participants.
At the "Prague Spring" competition, Sergei Tarasov,
competing with musicians from 26 countries, came first, becoming the youngest
winner in the 40 year history of the festival.
Sergei Tarasov was born in Moscow in 1971 into a family of
musicians. From the age of six he began to attend a music school where his
first teacher was M. Yershova. In 1981, he entered the Central Music
School. Professor L. Naumov, after meeting Tarasov, made an exception for
him, for the first time admitting to his renowned class such a young pianist.
Two years later, Sergei gave a brilliant performance of Concerto by
Grieg with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra under V. Dudarova. Later,
together with the orchestra, he played piano concertos by Mozart, Prokofiev and
Rimsky-Korsakov.
The young pianist has already met music lovers in many
countries. Sergei Tarasov has many years of creative life ahead of
him. Professor L Naumov, RSFSR Merited Worker in the Arts, said of his
pupil: "I am delighted by the rapid creative growth of Sergei Tarasov, who
has already attained a considerable level of creative and artistic
mastership. He has all the necessary abilities for further development -
artistry, virtuosity and a desire for work."
