In concert, she captivates audiences with her flawless technique, irresistible energy and her ability to penetrate deeply into the inner world of the works she performs. \u201cHer approach is poetically inflected without ever descending into slushiness,\u201d wrote Gramophone. Yet passion is never lacking: \u201cVinnitskaya is a true lioness at the keyboard, devouring the most difficult pages of music with adamantine force,\u201d observed The Washington Post. She collaborates with the world\u2019s leading orchestras and conductors. Recent appearances include concerts with the Orchestre de Paris and Klaus M\u00e4kel\u00e4, the Tonhalle-Orchester Z\u00fcrich under Paavo J\u00e4rvi, and the Boston Symphony Orchestra with Joana Mallwitz. When Petr Popelka assumed the post of Chief Conductor of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra in 2022, he invited Anna Vinnitskaya to perform Tchaikovsky\u2019s <em>Piano Concerto in B-flat minor<\/em> at his inaugural concert.<\/p>\n<p>Her recordings, too, are highly acclaimed, earning some of the most prestigious distinctions, including the French Diapason d\u2019Or and Editor\u2019s Choice from the British magazine Gramophone. Her Chopin album was described by Fono Forum as \u201ca recording for the lonely island.\u201d. All the more enticing, then, is the invitation to her festival recital, where she will perform one of <strong>Chopin<\/strong>\u2019s supreme masterpieces \u2013 the <em>Piano Sonata No. 3 in B minor.<\/em> The programme will also feature <em>Three Intermezzi<\/em> by <strong>Johannes Brahms<\/strong>, <strong>Sergei Rachmaninoff<\/strong>\u2019s virtuosic <em>Variations on a Theme of Corelli<\/em>, and <em>Piano Sonata No. 3<\/em> in the unusual key of F-sharp minor by the Russian mystic<strong> Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"text-image__image-wrapper\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firkusny.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/male_Anna-Vinnitskaja_c-Johan-Jacobs-Flagey_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"text-image__image\">\n                                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":5190,"template":"","event_category":[16],"event_type":[15],"class_list":["post-5279","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_category-firkusny-en","event_type-prague-spring"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/firkusny.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/5279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/firkusny.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/firkusny.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/firkusny.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/firkusny.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/firkusny.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=5279"},{"taxonomy":"event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/firkusny.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type?post=5279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
