As part of the prizes won at various competitions, in particular Third Prize, the Audience Prize and the Special Prize of Fazil Say at the 5th Franz Liszt Competition in Weimar in 2006, he received invitations to appear in Japan, Italy, Germany, Austria, Poland and Turkey. In 2007, he participated in the performance of the complete piano works of Ravel in Rotterdam during the Codarts Ravel Piano Marathon. In January 2009 the pianist made an extensive Netherlands tour with the North Netherlands Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Michel Tabachnik. For the first half of 2009, his schedule included engagements at the Beethoven Festival in Warsaw (with the Polish National Philharmonic Orchestra) and a tour through South America. Here he will give concerts in Brazil (São Paulo: Virtuoses da Música), Chile (Punta Arenas) and Argentina (Ushuaia Festival). In Ushuaia he performed together with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra under Jorge Uliarte. Shortly afterwards, in May 2009, he made an international tour with the Heath Quartet, winners of the TROMP International Music Competition 2008. This summer he appeared at the Prestige Series of the International Keyboard Institute & Festival of New York and the Summer Academy Mozarteum in Salzburg (Austria). In September 2009 Vitaly performed Rachmaninoff's Paganini Rhapsody in the reopening ceremony of De Doelen Concert Hall in Rotterdam. In October 2009 Vitaly toured Europe as part of the European Liszt Nights that were held in Liszt cities Budapest, Weimar, Bayreuth, Raiding and Utrecht. Later on he performed at the Vilnius Piano Festival and in South-Africa. In 2010 Vitaly performed in Shanghai during the World EXPO and he toured with the GeldersOrkest, performing Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 4. Critics "...Mr. Pisarenko played with prodigious technique, myriad shadings and scrupulous accuracy. His account of Ravel's "Miroirs" had wondrous delicacy and moments of tender sensitivity. [...] His account of Liszt's Polonaise No. 2 emerged with punchy rhythmic vitality and, when this evocation of a Polish dance turns unexpectedly frenzied, with demonic fervor. And it was refreshing to hear Mr. Pisarenko's serious-minded performance of Liszt's exuberant Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. In his hands the spiraling passagework, thick with pungent cluster chords, anticipated the harmonies of a much-later Hungarian master, GyörgyLigeti..." "MrVitaly Pisarenko who participated in my masterclas is an outstanding talent. He gave a stunning performance here of Saint-Saëns/Liszt – Danse macabre. He may become a world celebrity if he finds the right support." "Mr. Pisarenko is a pianist in every sense - technically equipped , possesses lyricism, poetic soul and deep musicality…Mr. Pisarenko deserves to be heard in anything he wants to play. His profound understanding of composers intent makes him a very interesting pianist indeed." "A pianist of a great integrity, intermingling the real Russian passion alongside with a subtle stylistic approach and personal touch."
