In 862 concerts held so far, above 500 performers from 29 countries took part (some of them played many times), including 277 pianists, 37 other soloists, 15 performers of chamber music, 6 conductors, 6 actors, "Witold Lutoslawski" Philharmonic Orchestra, "Harmonology" Orchestra in Wroclaw, and the National Opera Choir from Warsaw. Apart from the outstanding artists with the international fame (such as Zsuzsa Elekes, István Lantos, Victor Merzhanov, Karol Radziwonowicz, Janusz Olejniczak), about 290 young artists, including about 170 Poles, performed at the concerts. Being accompanied by 12 lecturers and 3 interpreters, they performed around two thousand pieces of about a hundred fifty composers ranging from Baroque to the contemporary music (including about a hundred compositions of F. Liszt, over 80 ones of F. Chopin and almost 40 pieces of I. J. Paderewski), playing in 66 concert halls (48 of them in Poland, the rest abroad - in Budapest, Györ, Moscow and St Petersburg). Since December 1989, we have been carrying into effect a series of monthly "Liszt Evenings" always accompanied by a specially chosen and prepared foreword, which, beside giving basic information on music, is intended to motivate full perception of presented pieces and further contacts with artistic music. Since November 1992 till April 2007 we organised 113 concerts for the disabled, which combined musical development with elements of music therapy. The audience of the concerts mainly included young people from rehabilitation centers for the disabled in Wroclaw, Milicz and Trzebnica. Still inviting those listeners, since 2008, we decided to expand the audience with students of secondary schools of general education. Simultaneously, we change the name of the concerts to "Concerts musically developing for youth – How to listen to music?", continuing the numeration of the "Concerts for the disabled" .

Won, among others, 1st prize at the National Competition of Chamber Music in Moscow, Russia, in 1994; 1st prize at the International Competition of Piano Duos in St Petersburg in 1995; 3rd prize at the "Concertino-Praha" International Competition in Prague, Czech Republic, in 1995; 1st prize at the Jozeps Vitols International Piano Competition in Riga, Latvia, in 2002. In 2005 he definitely won the 3rd International F. Liszt Piano Competition in Wroclaw. Performs as a soloist, chamber musician and with numerous orchestras.

In 2007 awarded the Audience Prize at the 17th Festival for Young Laureates of the Music Competitions in Katowice organised by IPiUM SILESIA (performed 40 soloists from 6 countries). Extract from the review "Young Star of the Russian Piano Playing", published on 24 December 2006 in Ruch Muzyczny (Polish central music periodical for professionals): „Soloviev, a graduate and already a lecturer of the St Petersburg Conservatoire - belongs to a small group of artists who can combine in a very natural way their virtuoso temperament with contemplation of a chamber musician. He is able to show off easily the most difficult structures in increadible tempo, and a moment later sink in contemplation, listening intently to most delicate nuance of a music discourse with the sensitivity of a natural born chamber musician. He has one more (...) essential feature - the need and ability of improvisatory approach to a prepared interpretation proposal. It brings freshness to his performances (...)”
