On March 5, 2025, pianist Alexander Gadjiev delivered a stunning performance at the Palatin-Staufersaal in Wiesloch, alongside the SWR Symphony Orchestra conducted by Giuseppe Mengoli. The program featured Scriabin's Piano Concerto in F-sharp minor, Op. 20, showcasing Gadjiev's poetic intensity and masterful technique. The concert was met with great acclaim.

"The SWR Symphony Orchestra presented an equally opulent and original late-Romantic program and two top-class young guests at the sixth season concert of the Wiesloch Friends of Art in the almost fully occupied Palatin-Staufersaal."

"'Italian conductor Giuseppe Mengoli and Italian-Slovenian pianist and Chopin Prize winner Alexander Gadjiev had chosen an all too rarely played solitaire of the genre for their joint SWR debut with Alexander Scriabin's early Piano Concerto in F-sharp minor, Op. 20."

"The vehemently applauded Debussy encores "Feux d'artifice" and "Ondine" once again showed the exceptionally elegant and spirited sound magician Alexander Gadjiev in his element."
