Irina Zaritskaya

Irina Zaritskaya

Irina Zaritskaya (born in Kiev, May 2, 1939; died in London, July 30, 2001) was an Ukrainian pianist.

While a student at the Moscow Conservatory under Jakov Zak, she was second to Maurizio Pollini at the VI Fryderyk Chopin Competition, winning two additional awards. This success launched her concert career, but she wasn't allowed to perform internationally. She emigrated to Israel in 1972, before settling in London in the mid-80s.
