Constantine Finehouse is a Russian-born pianist.[1]
Praised by Rhein Main Presse Allgemeine Zeitung for his "interpretations of depth and maturity,” Constantine Finehouse has performed extensively in the US and abroad, including in Trieste, London, St. Petersburg and Odessa. In January 2010 he released "Backwards Glance," featuring the music of Johannes Brahms and Richard Beaudoin.
His previous album, "The Bolcom Project" made in collaboration with his American Double partner, violinist Philip Ficsor, included an Albany Records CD and a national tour with concerts in Boston, New York, Denver, Santa Barbara, Spokane and at Yale University. Fanfare praised the recording as “indispensable to any serious collector with an interest in later 20th-century duo repertoire for violin and piano.” As part of American Double, Finehouse also undertook a tour of Hungary, performing sonatas by Brahms, Bolcom and Ravel.
More recently, he performed with violinist Olga Caceànova at Galeazza Castle in Italy and with cellist Sebastian Baverstam at the Concert Artists Guild Winners Concert at Weill Recital Hall, Carnegie Hall. Finehouse is currently recording William Bolcom’s complete piano solo works for Naxos Records. His upcoming CD with Sebastian Baverstam will feature sonatas by Franck, Shostakovich as well as works by Tony Schemmer. In the 2010-2011 season bring recitals celebrating the Chopin and Schumann bicentennials. Finehouse serves on the faculty of New England Conservatory Preparatory and Extension Divisions. He has been awarded the Vladimir Horowitz Scholarship from Juilliard, a 2004 St. Botolph Club Foundation Grant and 2006 Classics Abroad Project Award.
