VERONIQUE JOURDAIN ARTISTS MANAGEMENT

“The companion performance of Brahms’s Violin Concerto was every bit as fine, with the solo violin played by Aylen Pritchin […]. This was a crack musical team at the top of its game, making Brahms sound fresh, exciting and brilliant. You’d struggle to hear this music played better anywhere. »” The Times

“Aylen Pritchin’s sound is luminous, his playing imperial. His delicate almost absent vibrato (in the tradition of Joachim) searches historical colours. Russian conductor and pianist Maxim Emelyanychev partners him on an 1875 Steinway. [...] the two soloists dialogue as equals, with noble lyricism.” Diapason

“This original and inventive interpretation, brilliantly recorded, certainly deserves to feature prominently with Suk and Katchen (decca) and Perlman and Ashkenazy (Warner) legendary recordings.” Classica

Both embarked on an international individual career, Aylen Pritchin and Maxim Emelyanychev are equally highly respected chamber music players. Best friends from the Moscow Conservatory, they have passionately explored the wide range of the violin-piano repertoire from an early age.
