  • GIOVANNI GUZZO, Violin
    GIOVANNI GUZZO, violin “Guzzo’s technique was immaculate, and his Szymanowski was also stylish and driven. He ripped through the cadenza with terrific verve and left me wanting to hear much more from him”. Andrew Morris, Classicalsource 30 year old violinist Giovanni Guzzo is rapidly rising as one of the most versatile performers of his generation. Born in Venezuela to parents of Italian and Venezuelan heritage, he has captivated audiences around the world with his unique and passionate approach to his performances. Following his sensational solo debut with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London, critics described him as a “wonderfully magnetic” and “commanding” performer. Giovanni started his musical studies with the piano at the age of five and violin at the age of six. At the age of 12 he became the youngest violinist to win the National Violin Competition “Juan Bautista Plaza” in Venezuela. A protégé of the renowned French virtuoso violinist Maurice Hasson, Giovanni was granted a scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London, from where he graduated with the highest honours. He previously studied with Zakhar Bron at the “Escuela Superior de Musica Reina Sofia” in Madrid. A keen recitalist and chamber musician, Giovanni has worked closely with some of today’s leading musicians, including Martha Argerich, Joshua Bell, Martin Fröst, Daniel Hope, Stephen Hough, Kristóf Baráti, Mats Lidstrom, Gábor Takács-Nagy, István Várdai, the Takacs Quartet and Maxim Vengerov, to name but a few. His talent has been recognised with numerous awards including Her Majesty the Queen’s commendation for Excellence, Gold medal at Marlow Music Festival, PROMIS award given by the London Symphony Orchestra, and the Manoug Parikian and Myra Hess award.

  • International Competition for Young Violinists
    International Competition for Young Violinists 1. „Musicians like Fritz Kreisler, Sergei Prokofjew, Jascha Heifetz and Yehudi Menuhin admire Goldstein’s play“ 1. About Boris Goldstein and Zakhar Bron / Idea Boris Goldstein (Busya Goldshtein) (1922 - 1987) was born in Odessa and has been recognized at a young age as one of the brightest violin stars. At the age of 10 he played with the Moscow Radio Orchestra Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto, with which he established a startling career. His teachers include Pjotr Stoljarski, Abram Jampolsky, Lev Zeitlin and Konstantin Mostras. The young violinist soon won prizes at renowned competitions in Moscow, Warsaw and Brussels, followed by numerous successful concerts in various European capitals. Top prizes were garnered by David Oistrakh, Boris Goldstein, Yelizaveta Gilels and Mikhail Fikhtengoltz. As a teenager, Boris Goldstein, was singled out by Heifetz as being USSR's most brilliant violin talent. Other famous musicians such as Fritz Kreisler, Sergej Prokofieff and Yehudi Menuhin admired Goldstein’s way of playing. Goldstein has made various recordings with Violin and Chambermusic pieces, amongst them works that have been dedicated especially to him. He regularly played on the radio. Prokofieff’s Violin Concerto No. 2 has been premiered by Goldstein conducted by the componist himself. In 1974, Boris Goldstein left the USSR and emigrated to Germany, where in 1976 he was appointed professor for violin at the “Hochschule für Musik Würzburg”. His solo appearances in Germany and Western Europe were memorable highlights of his brilliant career. Wherever he played, he was acclaimed by audiences and critics, the London Daily Telegraph praising him in 1986 as a “legendary violinist and a master of the great Slav school of violin playing”.
