Don’t miss this chance to hear one of the world’s most passionate violists.
What the critics say:
Yuri Bashmet: ‘To hear a more authentic performance would be impossible, a finer one inconceivable.’
- THE EVENING STANDARD
‘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.’
- THE NEW YORK TIMES
