HARMONIA MORAVIAE 2015

Venue: Zlín Congress Centre  |  Organizer: Filharmonie Bohuslava Martinů, o.p.s.  | 

Jean-Michel Molkhou, the world famous expert on violin-playing, has ranked Vadim Gluzman in his book as one of the 30 greatest contemporary violinists. Vadim Gluzman, born in Ukraine and now an Israeli citizen, is one of the exceptional players who have come through the 19th and 20th century violin school tradition and are invited to play all over the world. He plays regularly with the best known orchestras such as the London Philharmonic, the Israeli Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Leipzig Gewandhaus, the Munich Philharmonic and others. He records exclusively for BIS Records AB, and his recording of the Bruch violin concerto won the French Diapason d'Or magazine's prize in 2011. The concerto is a romantic piece rich in captivating melodic themes, written with a marked instinct for solo effect. It gives the violinist free rein to demonstrate the full beauty of his art, as it was written with remarkable insights into the nature and particular advantages of the instrument. The conductor Vojtěch Spurný has worked regularly with our orchestra over a number of years, and in this concert he takes up the role of Chief Conductor of the Bohuslav Martinů Philharmonic.
