MUSICAL REVIEWS
RICARDO HONTAÑÓN
EL DIARIO MONTAÑÉS. SANTANDER 2017
"Sergei Yerokhin has shown himself to be a master of great height with a demanding program and an absence of dramatic bargains... bringing creativity as a predominant note. Not only Yerokhin is conceptually faithful to the works he translates, but he adds to them his very personal vision, well aimed at all times... But where he really dazzled and showed to be a full-length interpreter was in the monumental Fantasía op. 17 by R. Schumann in which he talentedly combined brilliance, depth and introspection. It was a deep and poetic version... and preceded Rachmaninov's pianism with two preludes which instilled drama and delicacy as well as his Sonata in B flat op. 36... its majestic end raised enthusiastic applause for the wonderful pianist who corresponded with two encores and left again a pleasant memory to the Santander public.“
REVISTA RITMO
JULY 2015
"Yerokhin is a pianist with a great sound, powerful technique and strong resources as well as wide musical vision, and made a great performance. He took advantage of the quality of the sound and perfect tuning of the great Steinway to deliver a great, brilliant Liszt, with the tragedy and emotions of Norma's intimate conflict reflected in the music, and with a perfectly averaged tension development.
Yerokhin made a solid, robust Beethoven with character, built with strength and greatness, but that also had its moments of delicacy, its contrasts. A magnificent pianist.“
JUAN CARLOS GALTIER
HERALDO DE ARAGÓN. ZARAGOZA 2020
"In the three Schubert lieders transcribed by Liszt, Yerokhin managed to recreate the dark and broken spirit of Schubert's songs so that we don't miss the voice...
And in the second part it was the turn for the famous "Pictures at an Exhibition"... a very personal and interesting version of a work that, yet heard a hundred times, kept the interest when it was performed by the Russian pianist.“
PRENSA BUENOS AIRES

"Brilliant Russian performer, along with Argentine musicians, Sergei Yerokhin offered a magnificent version of Prokofiev's Concert No. 2 at the Teatro Colón.“
JULIO ANDRADE MALDE
CRITIC IN LA OPINIÓN AND SCHERZO. NOVEMBER 2014
"Good pianists are legion; great pianists, there are quite a few. But hardly ever we will find exceptional pianists, those true artists who bring something different when interpreting the great works of the universal repertoire. This is the case of the Russian, Sergei Yerokhin, whose versions always have a point of originality.“
MANUEL I. FERRAND
ABC
”A luxury tandem Director Antoni Wit and pianist Sergei Yerokhin... But the great triumph of the night was reserved for Beethoven's Emperor concerto.“
JAMES ROSS
THE MIAMI HERALD
"Yerokhin is a greatly gifted, provocative musician, with exceptional facility, coloristic flair and intelligent sensitivity to period styles.
Too many pianists are afraid of molding Pictures too personally and possibly picking it to pieces. But Yerokhin, like Sviatoslav Richter, understands its orchestral textures.“
HERALDO DE ARAGÓN
ZARAGOZA 2013
”The musician made us enjoy an execution of enormous sensitivity, comparable to supreme piano artists such as Sviatoslav Richter or Alfred Brendel...“
ENRIQUE FRANCO
EL PAÍS
"An interpreter who gives priority to imagination, poetic expressiveness and the fact of recreating with the sounds, obeying some inspirational dose of the moment.“
ELENA FERNÁNDEZ-PELLO
LNE OVIEDO 2017
"The Muscovite musician, who was awarded at the age of 26 at the renowned Paloma O'Shea Santander International Piano Competition, appeared yesterday with an imposing presence, a prodigious technique and an energetic interpretation. And with all this, the russian pianist soon won the audience's affection, as soon as the recital began.“
