Eduard Kiprsky Pianist, Preisträger internationaler Wettbewerbe „Pianist mit Weltklasse-Potential“ schrieb enthusiastisch der Rezensent des ersten Soloabends, den Eduard Kiprsky 2011 im Rahmen der „Piano Extra“ Reihe in der Mercatorhalle in Duisburg gab. Dabei hatte sich der damals 24-jährige Russe bei diesem Konzert nicht auf seine „Leibstücke“ des russischen Repertoires verlassen, sondern mit Werken von Scar- latti und Haydn über Schumann bis zu Debussy und Albeniz stilistisch weit in den Westen vorgewagt, bevor er mit Liszt seine durchaus mit Raffinement eingesetzte Virtuosität auslebte.

Er erhielt ab dem sechsten Lebensjahr seine erste musikalische Aus- bildung (Klavier, Violoncello und Chorgesang) an der Rostropowitsch-Musikschule und an der Glinka-Gesangsschule und setzte seinen Werdegang am Musik-Gym- nasium des Sankt Petersburger Konservatoriums im Fach Klavier bei Prof. Wolf sowie Komposition bei Prof. Ruschanskij fort. 2010 absolvierte er das Sankt Peters- burger Konservatorium bei Prof. Sandler und schloss 2011 auch sein Studium an der Folkwang-Universität der Künste bei Prof. Boris Bloch mit einem Diplom-Grad ab.
