Shiry Rashkovsky

Lauded by The Strad for her ‘thrilling and exuberant’ Royal Festival Hall debut, SHIRY RASHKOVSKY pursues an international and diverse career. Her recording of Kate Whitley’s Viola Concerto (dedicated to her) for NMC was hailed as ‘fearless’ by The Guardian, while her latest EP which included a newly-commissioned duo composed by and recorded with Héloïse Werner was featured on BBC Radio 3’s New Music Show. In demand as a chamber musician, she is frequently invited to international festivals including Prussia Cove Open Chamber Music where she has performed with Pekka Kuusisto and Viviane Hagner, among others, and she is a founding member of Trio Klein, whose groundbreaking ‘Trio Klein’s 80s Night’ programme was featured on BBC Radio 3, and who were Artists in Residence at the University of Surrey 2023/2024.

HIROAKI TAKENOUCHI‘s curiosity, and a natural penchant for integrity makes his playing and vast repertoire unique amongst his generation of pianists. His love for the music of classical masters – particularly Haydn, Beethoven and Chopin – sits side by side with his passion for the music of Medtner, lesser-known British composers such as Sterndale Bennett and Parry, and the contemporary repertoire.
As a soloist, Takenouchi has appeared on many concert platforms including Wigmore Hall, Tokyo Opera City and the South Bank Centre, and has given recitals across Europe and North America. 2022 saw the release of his latest solo disc on French specialist piano label Artalinna, featuring works by Grieg, Medtner and Dupré. Hiroaki is also editor of the published scores of Sherwood’s two-piano works (as recorded for Lyrita), now available from Nimbus Music Publishing. He is frequently invited to make recordings for BBC Radio 3’s Composer of the Week. His recording of the Mendelssohn and Sterndale Bennett Sextets with members of Sinfonia Cymru (Artalinna) was released in May 2023. The Russian composer Georgy Catoire’s music is somewhat neglected today but Takenouchi is a passionate advocate of his Piano Concerto and recorded the work with Martin Yates and Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
Hiroaki Takenouchi is a Blüthner Artist and owns a beautiful 1922 Blüthner piano.
