Igor Mikhailovich Zhukov (Born 1936) : pianist, conductor and sound engineer.
Igor Michailovich Zhukov was born in Nizhny Novgorod in 1936 but his family moved to Moscow in the following year. Four years later, they were evacuated to Vyatka (then known as Kirov) as a result of the second world war. After the war, they returned to Moscow, where Zhukov studied in the Conservatory in 1955, studying first with Emil Gilels and then, in 1955, with Heinrich Neuhaus. He graduated in 1960, having won second prize in the Long-Thibaud Piano Competition in Paris.
Apart from a career as a pianist, Zhukov also conducted his own ensemble - the Moscow Chamber Orchestra until his retirement from conducting in 1994, and was the pianist of the long-running Zhukov Piano Trio which was founded in 1963 and continued performing until 1980. (The other members were the violinist Grigory Feighin and cellist Valentin Feighin.) The trio was noted for its "Historic Concerts" which featured repertoire spanning the 17th to the 20th centuries.
Zhukov has made recordings on the Melodiya label among others (e.g. the complete Scriabin Sonatas). Zhukov also has a passionate interest in recording, and says of himself "I'm the best pianist among recording engineers, and the best recording engineer among pianists".

Zhukov's performances are exceptional. This performance of Fragilite is "hands down" the best I've heard.
Honestly, I have no idea why Zhukov is not so famous as, I think, he should be. His Scriabin is the best. I myself play whole Scriabin, have listened to many performances ( obviously to all "famous" pianists ) and I tell you that guy Zhukov is amazing.
Zhukov rules. He doesn't only play Scriabin. On RUclips, there is a recording of him playing Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin. Most impressive version of the toccata I have heard.
Aye!
Magic. Fascinating. What a Wonderful pianist. It's sad that he was not well known.
N°1 Fragilité : 0:01
N°2 Prélude : 1:58
N°3 Poème ailé 4:52
N°4 Danse languide 6:00
i find #2 absolutely captivating because it's like... a very ugly state of soul made into beautiful music. It's sadness, but not of a melancholic 'bittersweet' kind - instead a very numb, grumpy, tired kind of sorrow, like when you're feeling so low that you're, well, no longer feeling anything. A moment of completely giving up, lacking faith in anything.
Yet, this composer found a way to describe such mood in a beautiful and dignifying way thru music, It's mesmerizing.
I love this version of no 1. If I could descibe it in two words: ice skating.
Damn right.
Damn seconded son good shit true facts
I’ve often thought the same of several of his later pieces-“Desir” comes to mind-a frozen martini.👍
Goosebumps from prel #1, its rubato feels like being 'drunk' but probably happy :D
Totally love emotional world of #2, so beautiful that it hurts
#3 and #4 are great too
Frankly, it's my first time I'm listening to this wonderful pianist... I'm already on the cloud no.9...
Many dismiss scriabin as "a tonal" but he never lost his romanticism or the genius he showed in his earlier compositional period. A truly unique person and an extremely talented composer.
I thoroughly agree!! his Scriabin Sonatas are my favourite.
It's truly beautiful!!
