Alexey Podymkin is a stylish, incredibly charismatic pianist in his restraint, who brings to mind the image of another "aristocrat of the piano" - one of the most prominent representatives of the Russian academic piano school, Nikolay Lugansky. Podymkin's improvisations, despite the external strictness of form, are extremely rich in discoveries, emotional, full of chic and the class that betrays a musician with a solid conservatory past. /Vladimir Milovidov/
