Vadim Repin

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.
