阿塔尔阿拉德 Bio
阿塔尔阿拉德 was born in Tel Aviv, where he began his early musical education 和 violin studies. In 1968 he was one of a few young artists to be selected to study in the renowned Chapelle Musicale Reine Elisabeth under the patronage of the Queen of Belgium.
In 1971, 被深渊吸引, warm sound of the viola 和 its broad but unfamiliar repertoire, he decided to devote himself to this instrument 和 its music. 第二年, 1972年7月, 这是他作为中提琴手的第一次演出, he won the City of 伦敦 Prize as a laureate of the Carl Flesch Competition for violin 和 viola. Two months later he was awarded the First Prize at the International 中提琴 Competition in Geneva by a unanimous decision of the jury.
Numerous concerts followed — as soloist with major orchestras, 和 in recitals at some of Europe’s most prestigious festivals. Arad’s recordings for Telefunken are widely acclaimed. His Sonata per la Gr和’ 中提琴 e Orchestra by Paganini was considered by stringed-instrument lovers 和 critics alike to be an astonishing demonstration of the technical capabilities of the viola. His album in collaboration with pianist Evelyne Brancart, was praised by High Fidelity Magazine as being “…perhaps the best-played viola recital ever recorded”.
