"A rare composition for violin in Mendelssohn's work, filled with excitement and gusts of lively feeling, trembling of soul strings and violent revelations, sounded lyrical and tremulous. The energy, brightness of emotions and virtuosity of the first movement continued in the intimate intonations of the second to end with the victorious and inspired passages of the final third movement."

Stravinsky – Russia and Switzerland, Sibelius – Finland, Beethoven – Ukraine. Here are just some of the composers and countries from the upcoming album. We'll announce more details closer to the release date.

The Andermatt Festival
The Andermatt Music Winter Festival took place in the very heart of the Swiss Alps from January 15 to 18 celebrating Beethoven's 250th anniversary. Nikita performed with the English Classical Players conducted by Jonathan Brett, and also his good chamber music partner Georgy Tchaidze. A writer from Luzerner Zeitung newspaper said this about Nikita's performance with an orchestra: 'The highlight of the evening was the performance of the Russian violinist Nikita Boriso-Glebsky with the Beethoven violin concerto. With excellent intonation — and above all a lot of ferocity — he portrays the composer as an angry man. Quite an alternative to the flying take of the century with Jascha Heifetz, his game is an intense struggle. The runs are blown up from below, the cadenzas screwed up one level of difficulty. Dramatic, with forward drive. Merciless, but electrifying.'
