My Take

With Vadim Repin, I keep coming back to one detail: Yehudi Menuhin called him simply the best and most perfect violinist he had ever heard. That is not a compliment thrown around lightly, and it reshapes how I read everything else about him. Born in Novosibirsk in 1971, now Russian and Belgian and living in Vienna, he carries that restless cosmopolitan thread I find so compelling in great musicians. The Lenin Komsomol Prize and a 1999 Echo Klassik only underline it. To me he represents that rare violinist whose technique disappears entirely into the music.

Overview

After hearing one of Repin's performances, violinist Yehudi Menuhin said: "Vadim Repin is simply the best and most perfect violinist that I have ever had the chance to hear."
