Marina Kan Selvik
Marina Kan Selvik is a critically acclaimed Russian-Norwegian concert pianist. About her recent CD of music of Brahms and Robert and Clara Schumann reviewer Martin Anderson writes: Her playing reveals a technique and level of musicality, a remarkable talent for an international audience. Marina Kan Selvik plays with rhythmic suppleness, technical mastery and timbral sensitivity. Everything is in place and in order. Definitely one to follow.
