Santiago Rodriguez Biography

Santiago Rodriguez is one of the most popular and richest Pianist who was born on February 16, 1952 in Cárdenas, United States. After his performances, he’s been hailed as an “phenomenal pianist” by the New York Times and “one of the finest pianists in the world” by The Baltimore Sun. The Washington Post review included “Santiago Rodriguez is one of the finest pianists on the international scene. In an age in which classicism is revered, this Cuban-born pianist remains a fervent Romantic, spellbinding the audience with his warmth and Promethean fire.” Following a concert in 2010 for Festival Miami, his review included: Festival Miami, his review included: “Rodriguez is a pianist of impeccable technique and refined artistic sensibilities. Every note is perfectly placed, his precision and attention to detail everywhere apparent.” The Santiago Rodriguez Rachmaninov recordings have been praised with praise. When reviewing volume one of his Rachmaninov Series, The Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music 2010 said: “…This is an excellent example of Rachmaninov doing! Santiago Rodriguez is the authentic thing. In a moment it is as if Rachmaninov himself is playing at the piano. Rodriguez has something of Pletnev in his playing: amazing technique and authority, flawless and incredible electricity and a great poetic sensitivity. Excellent in every aspect.” When reviewing volumes One and Two of Rachmaninov, Bryce Morrison of Gramophone provides “Santiago Rodriguez, the Cuban-American virtuoso, is born for Rachmaninov, and I doubt whether any of the works on these two discs have often been played with such a spellbinding mix of high-born virtuosity and poetic glamour.” When reviewing Rachmaninov 3rd/Prokofiev 3rd, American Record Guide includes, “This brilliant American virtuoso takes charge immediately and steers his way through the entire concerto with blazing conviction, tremendous technical strength, unswerving concentration and galvanic excitement – but always under absolute control. Among current CDs of the Rachmaninov Third, this goes immediately to the top of the list. I’m familiar with over 60 commercially-issued recordings of the work, and I have no hesitation in placing Rodriguez/Tabakov in the top five.” Dixon of Musical America reviewed the work for the magazine as “…The most intense dramatic, emotional, and captivating performance in long-term memory. We finally have an artist who’s not afraid to be an edgy virtuoso. He is the best ever since Kapell.” Rodriguez’ Ginastera cd was reviewed in New York Magazine as “Ginastera’s brilliantly incisive music might have been written for the special talents of this pianist. The lyrical and percussive extremes of the composer’s distinctive style fully exploit Rodriguez’ remarkable combination of introspective, poetic delicacy and explosive virtuosity.”

Rodriguez sings exclusively only for Elan Recordings, a record company that was founded by him and his wife, Natalia Rodriguez, founded in 1985. Rodriguez made recordings for this label works composed by Rachmaninov and several of the Spanish composers for whom Rodriguez is a specialist. Other recordings he’s made include compositions composed by Bach, Brahms, Ginastera, Liszt, Tchaikovsky, and Grieg.
