Isabelle Faust

Isabelle Faust betager sit publikum med sine overbevisende fortolkninger. Hun fordyber sig i hvert eneste værk med største lydhørhed overfor den historiske kontekst, og ud fra et nutidigt forståelsesgrundlag. Således formår hun konstant at belyse og – passioneret – fremføre repertoire fra en lang række komponister.

Efter at hun vandt den berømte Leopold Mozart-konkurrence og Paganini-konkurrencen i en meget ung alder, fulgte regelmæssige optrædener med verdensorkestre, herunder Berliner Philharmoniker, Boston Symphony Orchestra, NHK Symphony Orchestra Tokyo, Chamber Orchestra of Europe og Freiburger Barockorchester. Dette førte til et tæt og vedvarende samarbejde med dirigenter som Claudio Abbado, Giovanni Antonini, Frans Brüggen, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Bernard Haitink, Daniel Harding, Philippe Herreweghe, Andris Nelsons og Robin Ticciati.

Faust deler et mangeårigt kammermusikpartnerskab med pianisten Alexander Melnikov. Blandt andet har de udgivet fælles indspilninger med sonater for klaver og violin af Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven og Johannes Brahms.

MAXIM VENGEROV

Violinist and GRAMMY® Award winner Maxim Vengerov is hailed as one of the world's finest musicians, as well as an internationally recognized conductor.

He began his violin career at the age of five. At 10, he had already toured abroad and at the age of 15, he won the international Carl Flesch Competition in London, which sent his career skyrocketing. As a young man, Vengerov was very close with legendary cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, as well as pianist/conductor Daniel Barenboim, one of his early mentors.

In the last couple of seasons, Vengerov has performed as a soloist and/or conductor with several of the largest orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic, the Berlin Philharmonic, the London Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and others. 

His goal has always been to use music as a way to connect with other people and other cultures. In 1997, he was named International Goodwill Ambassador by UNICEF—the first classical musician ever to receive the honor.
Today, Vengerov says he sees music as a kind of refuge from the fast-paced modern world: It has the power of healing because we learn something not only about music but about ourselves… We need to return to the roots, and we should not cut ourselves off from the source.

As a dedicated lecturer, he is affiliated with Mozarteum University in Salzburg, as well as the Royal College of Music in London. 

Maxim Vengerov plays on an ex-Kreutzer Stradivari from 1727.

Daniil Trifonov

Den Grammy-vindende russiske pianist Daniil Trifonov – Musical America’s 2019 Artist of the Year – har gjort en spektakulær opstigning af den klassiske musikverden, som soloartist, en sand mester af koncertrepertoiret, som samarbejdspartner i kor- og kammermusik, og ikke mindst som komponist.

Ved at kombinere fuldendt teknik med sjælden følsomhed og dybde er hans optrædener en evig kilde til ærefrygt. “Han har det hele og mere til… ømheden, og også det dæmoniske element. Jeg har aldrig hørt noget lignende,” skrev og undrede pianisten Martha Argerich sig. The Times of London har udtalt, at han er “uden tvivl den mest forbløffende pianist i vores tid”.
