"Berlinsky displayed complete technical mastery. He played the
Beethoven Concerto with elegance of style and phrasing -- and in the
Paganini Concerto, he gave an exceptional display of controlled violin
playing."
The Strad
"He allowed himself to be carried away by the richness of the Franck
Sonata. His tone was rounded and velvety, and he phrased in a way that
brought out the music’s fire."
The New York Times
"The Mendelssohn brought about the welcome appearance of the Russian
(and now American-based) Dmitri Berlinsky,... A superbly equipped
player, with a rock-steady bow arm and ultra-confident technique, he
sailed through the 13-year-old Mendelssohn's precocious essay in
concerto writing with serene self-confidence"
The Toronto Star
"Berlinsky shone. He exuded the confidence and poise of a young
Valentino. There was no shortage of brilliance and fun in his
performance of Paganini’s ‘La Campanella, and his verve was a source
of delight."
The Washington Times
"Ysaye (1858-1931), a wildly celebrated violinist in his own time,
gave the soloist a real chance to shine in his work. Berlinsky took
full advantage of the opportunity, flawlessly gliding through the
sometimes thorny piece. The young Russian has technique to spare, but
never lets it become mere flashiness, instead playing with quiet
authority."

Dmitri Berlinsky,
violin
Violinist Dmitri Berlinsky's extensive
performance schedule has taken him to the Mostly Mozart Festival, the
Prague Spring Festival, the Aspen Music Festival, the Newport Music
Festival, the Savannah Music Festival, the Settimane Musicale in
Stresa, Italy, as well as appearances at the Ambassador in Pasadena,
the Fiddle Fest, at Alice Tully Hall, the 92nd Street Y and Carnegie
Hall. As leader and soloist with the International Chamber Soloists,
the vibrant young chamber orchestra, he is extending his commitment to
the art of live performance, a commitment which has been hailed as
“...impressive and fiery, polished and thoughtful” (Los Angeles
Times).
Dmitri Berlinsky arrived on the International scene as the youngest
winner in the history of the Paganini International Violin Competition
in Genoa, Italy. This victory led to his performance on Nicolo
Paganini's own Guarneri del Gesú instrument, a privilege shared by
only a handful of artists in history. Subsequent triumphs at the
Montreal International Violin Competition (Grand Prize), the
International Tchaikovsky Competition and the Queen Elizabeth
Competition in Brussels, led to appearances with major orchestras in
Europe, Russia, the Far East, North and South America.
He has graced the stages at Avery Fisher Hall, The Kennedy Center,
Tokyo's Suntory Hall, the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, the
Leipzig Gewandhaus and the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels, among
many others. Recently, he toured through South America with the Prague
Chamber Orchestra. Mr. Berlinsky's Pavane CD recital Live at
Waterloo recorded in Belgium has won critical acclaim. His latest
recording, Souvenir D'un Lieu Cher is on the Helicon Records
label.
Currently serving on the faculty at Michigan State University, many of his students have won important International Competitions
such as the Tchaikovsky, Menuhin, and Tibor Varga, and have assumed
positions in orchestras including the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
In addition to his solo performances and his teaching, Dmitri
Berlinsky is the founder of the
International
Chamber Soloists.
