Op. 73 Not just an outstanding technique, but also a dynamic
expertise of unique expressiveness" - these qualities were attributed to
violinist Nikolai Znaider for his latest CD recording featuring the concertos of
Max Bruch and Carl Nielsen. His violin playing, said the magazine "Strad", is
"reminiscent of the good old days of great violin artistry". Born in 1975 as the
son of Polish-Israeli parents in Denmark, he began his studies with Milan Vitek
at the Royal Danish Conservatory. After winning the first prize at the 1992 Carl
Nielsen Competition, he perfected his training with Dorothy DeLay at the
Juilliard School of Music in New York. Above and beyond this, Nikolai Znaider
has studied since 1994 with the renowned violin teacher Boris Kuschnir at the
Vienna Conservatory. He first attracted international notice in 1997 when he won
the first prize at the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels. Since then, the
artist described by Lord Yehudi Menuhin as "the successor to Ysaye" is in great
demand world-wide as a soloist and chamber musician. In February of this year a
tour with the London Symphony Orchestra under Mstislav Rostropovitch took him to
Japan. Further highlights in his career have included appearances with major
international orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, the London
Philharmonic Orchestra, the Koninklijke Concertgebouw Orkest ub Ansterdam, the
Chicago Symphony, the Cleveland Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic Symphony
Orchestra, the Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig, the Munich and St. Petersburg
Philharmonic Orchestras as well as the Philhadelphia Orchestra, with which he
made his debut in New Yorkґs Carnegie Hall. His musical partners have included
such luminaries as Daniel Barenboim, Zubin Mehta, Lorin Maazel, Herbert
Blomstedt, Sir Colin Davis, Neeme Jarvi, Kurt Masur, Mstislaw Rostropovitch,
Mariss Jansons and Yuri Temirkanov. Nikolaj Znajder plays a violin built by
Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesu in 1732, placed at his disposal by Machold Rare
Violins. The artist was most recently heard at a special benefit concert for the
Orchestra Academy with Prokofiev’s Second Violin Concerto as guest of the
Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. He also recorded this concerto with the
Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Mariss Jansons along with the Glazunov
Violin Concerto and Tchaikovsky‘s Meditation Opus 42 on a CD which is soon to be
released. Nikolai Znaider is an exclusive BMG/RCA Victor Red Seal Artist.
