In 2006 Malikov brought to life Pianomania (PIANOMANIЯ) – a mixture of instrumental music, dance shows and colorful performances. Being an absolutely new genre for Russia, Pianomania combined traditions of Russian classical music and ethnic culture in a modern adaptation. Many artists and musicians were involved in the preparations. The TV premiere in 2007 was very successful and was shown on many Russian TV stations. The official Pianomania CD was published in March and had more than 100 000 copies sold. Live concerts in Moscow Operetta Theater in April and December were a big success, the house was sold out.
