A new album featuring Nikita Boriso-Glebsky, "Mozart: Divertimento, K.563", has been released on the Hungaroton label!

This electrifying collaboration features Nikita alongside talented musicians Dóra Kokas and Maxim Rysanov, bringing a fresh and inspiring interpretation to this classic composition.

In Nikita's own words:
— Researching and recording Mozart's Divertimento is no easy task. This is the work in capital letters. It's exceptional because it feels like it has been written for a string quartet, but one person is missing. Everyone is in the foreground all the time and we have nowhere to hide. That makes us fragile and the reason why we play transparently and openly.

"Mozart: Divertimento, K.563" is now available on your favorite music streaming platforms!

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.'
