Julia Severus

Julia Severus graduated from the Berlin University of Arts and from the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, where she studied piano with Mikhail Voskresensky and Lev Naumov. Her solo recordings of Rachmaninov’s piano transcriptions (Naxos 8.573468), Franck’s early piano works (Naxos 8.572901), Tchaikovsky’s opera and song transcriptions (Grand Piano GP795) and Bizet’s complete piano works (Naxos 8.570831-32) have been highly praised. Her search for undiscovered piano literature led her on the trail of the Russian composer and pianist Adolf Barjansky, whose complete works for solo piano she has recorded (Grand Piano GP796 and GP881). Julia Severus lives and works in Paris and Berlin.
