Critically acclaimed as "a passionate pianist and scholar," Svetlana Belsky is an in-demand recitalist and chamber pianist, noted for her remarkable rapport with audiences and stylistic versatility. She has appeared in Italy, Ukraine, Russia, Poland, China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, and throughout the United States. Dr. Belsky has received awards both for her performances in international piano competitions, and for her advocacy of new American music.
Called the pre-eminent American scholar of Ferruccio Busoni’s pianistic legacy, Belsky is the author of Busoni as Pianist (Eastman Studies in Music). Her CD of Busoni’s late works (Ravello, 2019) is described as a “totally winning reading, as replete with technical ability and musical sympathy as the composer could wish for” (Fanfare). Her earlier recording of the Rite of Spring (Centaur) received the prestigious American Prize for 2018-2019.
