„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
Gluzman has premiered works by Sofia Gubaidulina, Moritz Eggert, Giya Kancheli, Elena Firsova, Pēteris Vasks, Michael Daugherty and Lera Auerbach. In the 2023/24 season, he performed the European premiere of Erkki-Sven Tüür's 3rd Violin Concerto with the HR-Rundfunkorchester Frankfurt.
Accolades for his 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.
