Avi Avital, Colin Jacobson, Originalquellen: Arrangements, Transkriptionen und Originalmusik des Klezmer, vom Balkan und aus Nahost
The first mandolin soloist to be nominated for a classical Grammy, Avi Avital is one of the foremost ambassadors for his instrument. Passionate and “explosively charismatic” (New York Times) in live performance, he is a driving force behind the reinvigoration of the mandolin repertory.
An exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist, he has made four recordings for the label including his ECHO KlassikAward-winning Vivaldi (2015). Recently released Avital meets Avital (2017) with oud / bassist, Omer Avital, explores their shared cultural heritage and brings their differing classical and jazz musical backgrounds into dialogue. Earlier releases featured his own Bach concerto transcriptions (2012) and Between Worlds (2014), a cross-generic chamber collection exploring the nexus between classical and traditional music. He has also recorded for Naxos and SONY Classical winning a first ECHO Klassik Award for his 2008 collaboration with the David Orlowsky Trio.
Avi Avital is an alumni of AICF.
