World Renowned Violonist PHILIPPE QUINT joins Avanticlassic

Avanticlassic will release violinist Philippe Quint’s recording of the concertos of Mendelssohn and Bruch, and Beethoven’s Romances Nos. 1 and 2, with the Orquesta Sinfónica de Minería led by Carlos Miguel Prieto. This disc marks the first for Philippe Quint on Avanticlassic, as part of a new agreement.

A two-time Grammy Award nominee, violinist Philippe Quint has emerged in recent years as one of the few soloists to combine a remarkable degree of lyricism, poetry and impeccable virtuosity. He has gripped the ears and eyes of audiences in Europe, the U.S, Asia, Australia, Latin America and Africa with what The Times (London) describes as his “bravura technique, and unflagging energy.”

Philippe Quint’s big break came with his 2001 debut album, a recording of William Schuman’s Violin Concerto, which was singled out as an Editor’s Choice by Gramophone and garnered two Grammy nominations. The disc catapulted Quint into the top tier of soloists, in demand worldwide. Moreover, it thoroughly established his unique identity as a champion of American composers.

For the first time Philippe Quint records warhorse of the XIXth century classical music repertoire, a project dear to the artist's heart.This is furthermore the first recording Philippe Quint has made with the 1708 "Ruby" Antonio Stradivari violin, on loan to him through the generous efforts of The Stradivari Society®. 

Avanticlassic is thrilled to welcome Philippe Quint.
