First prize-winner of the 7th Rostropovich Cello Competition, Tatjana once again held audiences spellbound at the Salle Pleyel, Paris and the Philharmonie, Luxembourg, in November 2006 with sensational performances of Shostakovich's Concerto No. 1, with Orchestre de Paris under the baton of Rostropovich. These have probably been the last concerts ever conducted by Rostropovich with a soloist. And in May 24th, Tatjana was invited by the Orchestre de Paris to perform again this same concerto in a special evening dedicated to the memory of the late maestro.

“…the young Russian offers an extremely nuanced interpretation, bringing out the lyricism of the writing to the greatest possible extent and deploying a technique beyond all suspicion…”

Her recently released CD of works for solo cello (Kodaly, Ysaye, Tcherepnine and Cassado) has provoked equal levels of excitement and imposes her as an artist whose instinctive musical intelligence, breathtaking virtuosity and captivating personality demand attention.

“The bow strokes are by turn energetic and caressing, the sonority rich and the style perfectly adapted to each composer and each work…one feels the impact of a strong personality with musical ideas firmly in place and the means to communicate them”
