Vadim Gluzman
Violin
"Gluzman’s violin tone was never forced, his plentiful polyphonic passages were crystal clear, his cantilena sections told the story and his interplay with orchestra [...] was a masterclass in ensemble playing. [...] Words are inadequate to describe Gluzman’s spotless delivery."

„Vadim Gluzman was the sovereign centre, impulse and echo, balancing and driving, always with a razor-clear tone and strong technique.”Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, April 2024
Mr. Gluzman has premiered works by Sofia Gubaidulina, Erkki-Sven Tüür, Moritz Eggert, Giya Kancheli, Elena Firsova, Pēteris Vasks, Michael Daugherty and Lera Auerbach. In 2025 he commences his role as Artistic Director of the Music in the Mountains Festival in Durango, Colorado.
Accolades for Guzman’s extensive discography include the Diapason d’Or of the Year, Gramophone’s Editor’s Choice, Classica magazine’s Choc de Classica award, and Disc of the Month by The Strad, BBC Music Magazine and ClassicFM.
Distinguished Artist in Residence at the Peabody Conservatory, where he teaches a selected group of young violinists, Gluzman performs on the legendary 1690 ‘ex-Leopold Auer’ Stradivari, on extended loan through the Stradivari Society of Chicago.
