Yuri Bashmet, Viola / Conductor

Yuri Bashmet and the Moscow Soloists have won a Grammy. The recording released by Onyx features chamber music by Stravinsky and Prokofiev.

'...without doubt, one of the world's greatest living musicians.'
The Times

'Mr Bashmet is probably the most formidable exponent of the viola today. More than that, he is a string player of altogether uncanny powers. His tone is vocal, expressively vocal, devoid of artifice. He can move without a break from the most hushed, liquid legato to a huge, hall-filling fortissimo.'
New York Times

'The evening's highlight was Schnittke's Viola Concerto, a subtle and lyrical masterpiece written for its peerless soloist, Yuri Bashmet. To hear a more authentic performance would be impossible, a finer one inconceivable.'
