Anna Malikova

Since winning first prize at the ARD International Music Competition in Munich in 1993, Anna Malikova has established herself on the international music scene. Today, she performs worldwide in solo recitals, as a chamber music partner, and as a soloist with symphony orchestras. Her extensive travels have taken her throughout Europe, as well as to North and South America, China, Japan, and Korea. She is also in high demand as a juror at major international piano competitions around the world.

In addition to her concert performances, Anna Malikova continuously expands her CD discography. These include many important works by Chopin, as well as solo and chamber music recordings featuring works by Soler, Czerny, Schubert, Schumann, Liszt, Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky, and Prokofiev. Particularly noteworthy is her complete recording of all five piano concertos by Camille Saint-Saëns with the WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne and Thomas Sanderling, which received widespread international acclaim and numerous enthusiastic reviews. Her recording of Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Duisburg Philharmonic under Jonathan Darlington, as well as the newly released complete cycle of Alexander Scriabin’s ten piano sonatas, issued in honor of the 100^th anniversary of the composer’s death, have also been highly praised by the international press.

Since October 2018, Anna Malikova has held a professorship, leading a piano major class at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.

In the 2025/26 season, Anna Malikova will make her house debut at the Vienna State Opera, performing the piano part in Igor Stravinsky’s Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra in Rubies from George Balanchine’s Jewels.
