Vladimir Sverdlov was born in 1976 into a family with a long tradition of producing great artists. His grandfather David Ashkenazy, formidable composer and pianist, and his famous uncle Vladimir Ashkenazy, were a great influence on his development. After having studied with Vladimir Krainev and Arie Vardi he became a prizewinner in several international competitions (A.o. Queen Elisabeth). Internationally, he has toured extensively, and has played in Progetto Martha Argerich, and with Misha Maisly and Michael Pletnev.

Vladimir Sverdlov is a controversial pianist. His unconventional playing, full of extreme contrasts and deep emotions, make a profound impact on his audience.
