Know more about this album

“The Queen Elisabeth Competition for violin in 2005 played host to a new generation of highly talented violinists during the selection and final weeks. The exceptional qualities of 132 candidates from all over the world turned the competition into a top level event. Music takes pride of place in Brussels and the participants are given an opportunity to be heard by artists who are as generous with their time as they are eminent. That is why we can label this meeting as a great violin festival. This CD pack of live recordings will help you discover the passionate ambiance of a musical event that is highly prized by professionals and music lovers. But it will also provide you with a preview of some first rate violinists who, we hope, will capitalize on their success at the Queen Elisabeth Competition to embark on their career as soloists on the major international stages. Prima la musica!”
