Vadim Gluzman (Violin soloist)
Vadim Gluzman’s extraordinary artistry both sustains the great violinistic
tradition of the 19th and 20th centuries and enlivens it
with the dynamism of today.
The Israeli violinist appears regularly around the world: with major
orchestras such as the Chicago Symphony, London Philharmonic, Israel
Philharmonic, London Symphony, Leipzig Gewandhaus, Munich Philharmonic, San
Francisco Symphony, Minnesota Orchestra and NHK Symphony; and with leading
conductors including Neeme Jarvi, Michael Tilson Thomas, Andrew Litton, Marek
Janowski, Itzhak Perlman, Tugan Sokhiev, Paavo Jarvi, Rafael Frьhbeck de Burgos,
Hannu Lintu and Peter Oundjian. Among his festival appearances are Verbier,
Ravinia, Lockenhaus, Pablo Casals, Colmar, Jerusalem and the North Shore Chamber
Music Festival in Northbrook, Illinois, founded by Gluzman with his wife and
long-standing recital partner, pianist Angela Yoffe. In the season 2013/14 Vadim
begins collaboration with the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra in Columbus, Ohio, in
the new position of Creative Partner and Principal Guest Artist.
His wide repertoire embraces contemporary music, and Gluzman has given live
and recorded premieres of works by composers such as Giya Kancheli, Peteris
Vasks, Lera Auerbach and Sofia Gubaidulina. In recent seasons he has given the
UK premieres of Michael Daugherty's Fire and Blood Concerto with the
London Symphony Orchestra under Kristjan Jarvi, and of Balys Dvarionas’s Violin
Concerto with the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Thomas Sondergard.
Gluzman’s latest CD features the world premiere recording of Lera Auerbach’s
par.ti.ta for violin solo as well as Partitas by Bach and Ysaye’s
Sonata No.2. Accolades for his extensive discography under the exclusive
contract with BIS Records include the Diapason d’Or of the Year, Choc de
Classica, and Disc of the Month (ClassicFM, Strad and BBC Music Magazine).
Mr. Gluzman’s 2012/13 season begins with his debut at the BBC Proms in
London, followed by appearances with, among others, Deutsches
Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, St. Louis Symphony, Royal Scottish National
Orchestra, Czech Philharmonic, Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, as well as
Seattle, Atlanta and Vancouver Symphonies. Vadim Gluzman also gives recitals in
New York City presented by the venerable People's Symphony Concerts and in Paris
at the Thйвtre de la Ville. Vadim’s 2013 summer engagements include returns to
Ireland’s West Cork Chamber Music Festival as well as Colmar and
Schleswig-Holstein Festivals.
Born in the former Soviet Union in 1973, Vadim Gluzman began violin studies
aged seven. Before moving in 1990 to Israel, where he was a student of Yair
Kless, he studied with Roman Sne in Latvia and Zakhar Bron in Russia. In the US
his teachers were Arkady Fomin and, at the Juilliard School, the late Dorothy
DeLay and Masao Kawasaki. Early in his career, Mr. Gluzman enjoyed the
encouragement and support of Isaac Stern, and in 1994 he received the
prestigious Henryk Szeryng Foundation Career Award. Vadim Gluzman plays the
extraordinary 1690 ‘ex-Leopold Auer’ Stradivari, on extended loan to him through
the generosity of the Stradivari Society of Chicago.
