El Jarabe Tapatío

Duo Petrof

Biography

After performing together for over almost two decades, Duo PETROF has developed their own, unique concept of the piano duo. Besides inspiring their exceptional quality and sophisticated style to the classical repertoire, Anatoly Zatin and Vlada Vassilieva, pianists of Russian origin and Mexican nationality, create and perform their own arrangements for piano four-hands and two pianos. Distinguished with many awards in the world of classical music, including first prize at the international competition for professional piano duos in the United States (2018), and a nomination for the 2016 Hollywood Music in Media Awards for their iconic two-piano version of El Jarabe Tapatío, they were named Contemporary-Classical ensemble of 2016 by the Mexican Music Awards in New York City. Two of their albums have received Silver Medal at the Global Music Awards (both on Columna Musica in 2015 and 2017). They have performed at Carnegie Hall and Merkin Hall in NYC, the Moscow Conservatory, the Rudolfinum in Prague, the Shanghai Oriental Arts Center and the Fine Arts Palace in Mexico City, but also at the first international art festival in Kyrgyzstan, the Musical Spring and Silver Lyre festivals in Russia, the Sofia Music Weeks in Bulgaria and the International Piano Festival of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, among many others.
