KEYLIN, MISHA Russian-born violinist Misha Keylin is rapidly forging the major career promised by his phenomenal Carnegie Hall début at age 11. His exuberant musicality, keen interpretive insight and rare tonal beauty have earned critical and audience acclaim throughout the world. Noted for a wide range of repertoire, Keylin is attracting particular attention with his world-premiere complete three CD series of the seven Henry Vieuxtemps?Violin Concertos, presently being released by Naxos. These recordings already sold over 75,000 copies worldwide and have garnered numerous press accolades and awards (such as Critics Choice?by both The New York Times and Gramophone). Also in preparation are Naxos recordings of Vieuxtemps?showpieces with orchestra and the violin concertos and showpieces of Max Bruch.
In a career already spanning forty countries on five continents, Keylin has collaborated with such distinguished conductors as Roberto Benzi, Richard Bradshaw, Irwin Hoffman, Eliahu Inbal, Vakhtang Jordania, Chosei Komatsu, Alexander Schneider, Jörg-Peter Weigle, Bruno Weil and Takuo Yuasa. He has been guest soloist with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Leipzig Chamber Orchestra, Marseille Philharmonic, NDR Philharmonic of Hannover, Israel Sinfonietta, Bologna Philharmonic, Amadeus Chamber Orchestra, Brandenburg Philharmonic and the Philharmonic Orchestra of Chile; in addition, he has performed with the National Symphony Orchestras of Ukraine, Latvia, Colombia, Costa Rica and other noted ensembles. United States concerto and recital appearances have brought him to major venues in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington D.C., Seattle, Charlotte, Indianapolis, Atlanta, Denver and San Francisco. Also active as a chamber musician, he is a frequent guest artist at the Aspen, Ravinia and Australian Chamber Music festivals.
Born in 1970, Misha Keylin began musical studies with his mother in St. Petersburg. He immigrated to the U. S. at nine and was immediately accepted as a student by the legendary Dorothy DeLay at The Juilliard School. After winning New York's coveted Waldo Mayo Award as "Best Young Performer of the Year," Keylin went on to capture top prizes in the prestigious Hannover, Paganini, Sarasate and Viña del Mar competitions. Additionally, since 1995 Keylin has been an annual recipient of the Clarisse B. Kampel Foundation prize. At present, Mr. Keylin resides in New York.
