Yevgeny Malinin (November 8, 1930 -- April 6, 2001) was a Russian pianist.
Malinin was born in Moscow. A disciple of Heinrich Neuhaus, he began his career while a student at the Moscow Conservatory. In 1949 he won (ex-aequo with his fellow student Tamara Guseva) the International Youth and Students Festival in Budapest, and was awarded the 7th prize at the IV International Chopin Piano Competition; four years later he tied with Philippe Entremont for the 2nd prize at the Long-Thibaud Competition. He graduated in 1954, and served as Neuhaus's assistant for three years.
Malinin was active as a concert pianist mainly in the USSR area, but also performed in Japan, USA, Great Britain, Spain and France, where he settled as a pedagogue, founding with Thérèse Dussaut a music institute (1988--91). He was previously a professor (until 1998) and the head of the piano department at the Moscow Conservatory (1972--78).
He made several recordings for EMI or CBS during the 1960s and regularly for Melodya in USSR.
He died in Germany aged 70. A pedagogical Center and an International Piano Competition was founded by his widow Tatiana Fedkina-Malinina in Germany to perpetuate his memory. His brother Vladimir is a violinist.
