“The expressive intensity of Mullova's playing goes hand-in-hand with an essential restraint.” --BBC Music Magazine, Proms 2007
Russian-born Viktoria Mullova is a violinist primarily known for her great virtuosity and a wide-ranging repertory that includes many crossover pieces. Mullova had a meteoric rise owing to spectacular wins at two major competitions: in 1980 she took first prize at the Jean Sibelius International Violin Competition and two years later won the Tchaikovsky International. The following year she defected to the United States, but would eventually settle in England.
