Nathalia Romanenko

In 1999, Nathalia Romanenko came to Paris for further studies. She studied with Olivier Gardon and Jacques Rouvier and won the first prize of the Conservatoire de Paris in 2001.

Accompanist at the Conservatoire de Paris, Nathalia Romanenko wishes to restore this job to its former luster and to place it in the foreground. In an interview she gave to the magazine La lettre du musician, she quoted Alfred Brendel and Daniel Barenboim. But, « feeling comfortable with all composers and especially with the amazing Russian music and Liszt » (La Marseillaise, 26/10/2003), she dedicates most of her time to her concerts.

In 2003, for the 300th anniversary of the city of St Petersburg, she gave a concert for the official delegations of Russian and French States at the Cheremetieff palace. The press was enthusiastic. In 2005, at the request of Iouri Bashmet, she played at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice. The same year, she also met the cellist Mstislav Rostropovitch who, after listening to her, affirmed that « she is a new Wanda Landowska! ». He also asked her to be his accompanist in his cello competition in Paris.
