In September 2012, he entered the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel in Belgium, in the piano section under the direction of Maria Jo\u00e3o Pires.<\/p>\n<p>Ivan Hewett says this about Pavel:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Russian pianist Pavel Kolesnikov is too thoughtful to be called brilliant, and too mercurial to be described as introverted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In turn, Pavel has this to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Music is the only totally abstract art, with no connection to the world, so there\u2019s a danger of going to extremes, being all emotion or all intellect. I\u2019m looking for a way to find the perfect balance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class='et-box et-shadow'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='et-box-content'><strong>At last year\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.honens.com\/\" title=\"Honens website\" target=\"_blank\">Honens piano competition<\/a> at Calgary he was named \u201cLaureate\u201d (i.e. 1st prize-winner), which brought with it a carefully-chosen schedule of concerts in many of the world\u2019s most prestigious concert halls.<\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='et-box et-shadow'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='et-box-content'><strong>Enjoy Pavel&#8217;s rendition of Beethoven&#8217;s &#8220;Moonlight Sonata, P. 3&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I2uC-WW-Om8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='et-box et-shadow'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='et-box-content'><strong>He lives in London, England.<\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Featuring Pavel Kolesnikov<br \/>\nRussian Pianist<br \/>\nNovember 5, 2013<br \/>\n<strong>Click photo for full post<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4322,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[45,6,62],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4320"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4320"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4320\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4326,"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4320\/revisions\/4326"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4322"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
