Shlomo Mintz : Violinist at heart and 50 years on stage

"Music is truth touched, but seldom"

Shlomo Mintz is regarded as one of the foremost violinists of our time, esteemed for his impeccable musicianship, stylistic versatility and commanding technique alike. Regularly appearing with the most celebrated orchestras and conductors on the international scene, he is also frequently heard in recitals and chamber music performances.

"To pass the past into the future"

As a versatile and gifted violinist, Shlomo Mintz has performed and continues to perform almost every violin concerto that has been written. An extensive European tour in 1977 brought him recognition in numerous venues as he performed with leading orchestras directed by many of the continent’s finest conductors. A series of recordings for Deutsche Grammophon followed. To date Mintz has recorded more than 20 albums on CD. For Mintz, one of the most wonderful experiences of making music is “to be able to pass the past into the future."

'A great moment in Violin Heaven'
