"Keylin Displays A Gorgeous, Rounded Tone"

- The New York Times

An Assured And Impressive Soloist

“Misha Keylin…has gamely taken up Vieuxtemps’ cause….[He] displays a gorgeous, rounded tone and a distinctively Russian phrasing style to both works. His nuanced readings fully convey the operatic impulse that drives the violin writing, and he has the technique to sail easily through the virtuosic flourishes that make Vieuxtemps’ violin works the showpieces they are.”

– The New York Times

Biography

Since his New York Carnegie Hall début at age 11, GRAMMY® Award nominated violinist Misha Keylin has continued to earn critical and audience acclaim for his exuberant musicality, keen interpretive insight and rare tonal beauty. Noted for a wide range of repertoire, Keylin attracted particular attention with his world-premiere four CD series, featuring all seven of Henry Vieuxtemps’ Violin Concertos and showpieces with orchestra, released on the Naxos label. These recordings have sold over 150,000 copies worldwide and have garnered numerous press accolades and awards (such as “Critic’s Choice” by The New York Times, Gramophone and The Strad).

Press

Keylin’s rich, caramel tone and enviable crispness contributed to his stylish, fine honed playing…cleanly articulated, beautifully paced and sincere with expression.

The Washington Post

Keylin displayed spontaneous energy, effortless artistry and phrasing that reflected the joy of the music.

The Strad (UK)

The Russian virtuoso, Misha Keylin has [the Concertos’] full measure and he has the kind of Slavonic flair that brings these tuneful, well-crafted concertos fully to life.
