PanARMENIAN.Net - Following recital and concerts around the world,
violinist Mikhail Simonyan will release his Deutsche Grammophon debut
recording, Two Souls, on November 1 in the United States.
To mark the occasion Simonyan will present a concert at New York's
renowned (le) Poisson Rouge featuring an eclectic program of works
by Ysa˙e, Tchaikovsky, and Milstein. For an evening of energetic and
undoubtedly exciting music making, Simonyan will be joined by his
good friend maestro Kristjan Jarvi (who leads the London Symphony
Orchestra on Simonyan's new album) and Jarvi's Absolute Ensemble in
re-imagined settings of music inspired by folk influences, Vivaldi,
Mendelssohn, and more, written by ensemble member Gene Pritsker.
Still in his twenties, Mikhail Simonyan is already recognized as one
of the most celebrated talents of his generation. The New York Times
has praised his, "breadth, lyricism and fleet technique," and reported
that "Mr. Simonyan play[s] as if every note counted."
For his Deutsche Grammophon debut recording, Mikhail Simonyan decided
to pay tribute to his Armenian heritage and also the substantial amount
of time he has lived in the United States as represented by the violin
concertos of Khachaturian and Barber, BroadwayWorld reported.
