Dmitry Ablogin's most recent album has been released in October 2023 by the Chopin Institute. He recorded a unique selection of Chopin's late works on a Pleyel Fortepiano No. 14810 which once belonged to Chopin and was his very last instrument.
Highlights of Dmitry's 2023-24 season include debuting at the Berlin Philharmonie, Cologne Philharmonie, Konzerthaus Freiburg, Laeiszhalle Hamburg, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Wiener Konzerthaus, Edinburgh Queen's Hall and Glasgow City Halls.
He appears as a soloist together with the Freiburger Barockorchester, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the Orchestra of the 18th Century and Nürnberger Symphoniker.
Dmitry Ablogin is regarded as one of the most brilliant and creative keyboard artists of his generation.
Dmitry studied piano under the guidance of Vladimir Tropp at the Gnessin Academy in Moscow and graduated with distinction in 2012. His marked interest in historical pianos led him to Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts, where he studied fortepiano and historically informed performance with Jesper Bøje Christensen.
