After studies in his native country and at the Juilliard, he began his international career with playing...
The middle child of seven, four of whom would become professional musicians, Chung made her New York debut in 1968 after studies at the Juilliard. Standing in for Itzhak Perlman with the London Symphony Orchestra in 1970 led to a contract with Decca and a highly acclaimed recording of the Tchaikovskyand Sibelius concertos under André Previn. Though...
The astonishing Hahn, one of the greatest violinists, first picked up a violin just before her fourth birthday and was admitted to the Curtis Institute aged ten. Her three main teachers represented three different violin schools (Franco-Belgian, German and USA) making her particularly stylishly adept whether in Mozart, the Romantic repertoire or ne...
Both the father and grandfather of the multi-award-winning Kremer were violinists. He studied with David Oistrakh in Moscow, winning the 1970 International Tchaikovsky Competition. An energetic and enterprising entrepreneur (he founded the festival Kremerata Musica), he is renowned for his championship of new music, contemporary and forgotten works...
Jansen, one of the greatest violinists of her generation, comes from a family of musicians. Indeed, on her much-discussed recording of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons(2004), played with one player per string part, her father provided continuo and her brother the cello. As early as 2006 she was one of the most streamed classical artists. To date her albu...
The much-lauded icon of the violin was born to a Jewish family in Kremenets (then in Poland, now Ukraine) but the family moved to San Francisco when he was 14 months old. His mother gave him his first piano lessons when he was six and he entered the San Francisco Conservatory at the age of eight. During his long international career he recorded ove...
The most popular violinist in the latter half of the nineteenth century, Sarasate was a flamboyant virtuoso in the Paganini mould. His Carmen Fantasy and Zigeunerweisen are standard repertoire, the latter recorded nearly 250 times including by Sarasate himself in 1904 with eight other titles. Among the many important works dedicated to him were Wie...
Joachim, one of the greatest violinists, can be seen as the very antithesis of Sarasate – profound, steeped in the traditions of the German school, conservative, unshowy and serious. His teacher had played Beethoven’s late quartets in the presence of the composer. Joachim’s performances of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto were legendary, while the Joach...
Benedetti, one of the best violinists, was catapulted to national attention when she won the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition in 2004 at the age of 16. For this, she played Szymanowski’s unfamiliar Violin Concerto No. 1 (which she recorded in 2005) heralding a discography that today imaginatively mixes standard repertoire (Mendelssohn, Br...
Milstein was one of the great Russian-Jewish players of the last century who studied with Leopold Auer (in fact, he was probably his last surviving pupil), a classmate of Heifetz and who played Glazunov’s concerto as a student under the baton of the composer. It was in this work that he made his US debut (under Stokowski) in 1929. Having become an ...
