This week we feature the wonderful artistry of Albert Markov, a Russian-American violinist, composer and conductor. He was born in the Soviet Union and studied in Moscow with Y. Yankelevich (violin) and A. Khachaturian and H. Litinsky (composition). After making several successful appearances in international violin competitions, including the Queen Elizabeth in Brussels (Gold medal), Markov performed with major symphony orchestras and the world's leading conductors. He is the only concert violinist of the 20th century to have written major compositions, including a Concerto, a Symphony, an Opera and several Sonatas, most of which where published and recorded commercially. Mr. Markov teaches at the Manhattan School of Music and the Long Island Conservatory. His students include his son Alexander Markov and other distinguished violinists. You can read Mr. Markov’s complete biography here.
We have created two playlists: one with a selection of performances by Mr. Markov, and another featuring some of his compositions. You can click on the Playlists button on the left-hand side and select the appropriate playlist, or you could listen to Mr. Markov now, either as a soloist or as a composer.
