Info:
Superb violinist Itamar Zorman, described as a "virtuoso of emotions" (Goettinger Tageblatt), will make his Carnegie Hall recital debut as part of Carnegie Hall's Distinctive Debuts Series at Weill Recital Hall on Wednesday, November 5, 2014 at 7:30pm. Zorman was recently awarded the 2014 Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award, the 2013 Avery Fisher Career Grant, and in 2011 was one of two top prize winners at the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition. His program, with pianist Kwan Yi, will include J.S. Bach's Solo Violin Sonata No. 3 in C Major Schnittke's Violin Sonata No. 2, "Quasi una sonata" Hindemeth's Solo Violin Sonata, Op. 31, No. 1 and Brahms' Violin Sonata No. 3 in D Minor. The Hindemith and Brahms are included on Zorman's debut album, which also features music by Messiaen, Schubert, and Chausson, released in Europe by Profil-Editions Gunther Hanssler in spring 2014.
Zorman is a rare talent whose performances combine unparalleled technical prowess with unabashedly sincere emotional depth. The Guardian describes his playing as "astonishingly intimate and intense," and the New York Times raved that his "splendid playing conveyed precisely the right mix of tenderness, agitation and spiritual succor." Of a recent recital in Houston, the critic Joel Luks, writing for Culturemap Houston, wrote, "I allowed myself to cry. I wasn't the only one. Up until then, I was prepared to jot down a glowing review, the kind that is dotted with Hollywood-type movie remarks flashing across a silver screen - like riveting, gripping and two thumbs up. But in addition to having to scheme my escape in hopes of avoiding colleagues - because who wants to see a grown man cry - the whole premise of my critique was shot to hell. Technique can be taught and practiced . . . What's puzzling is how someone at a young age . . . is able to subsume so much aesthetic puissance into miniscule sonorities? That I couldn't explain."
