Globetrotter-Tour durch die Welt der Musik mit dem Violinisten Nemanja Radulović

„Radulovićs überragende Technik lässt Paganinis unzählige technische Herausforderungen wie ein Kinderspiel erscheinen“, schrieb das BBC Music Magazine über den serbisch-französischen Violinisten Nemanja Radulović. Jetzt erscheint mit Roots sein erstes Album bei Warner Classics, in dem der aufstrebende Künstler Melodien aus der ganzen Welt vereint – aus dem multiethnischen Balkan, aus Spanien, Italien, Frankreich, Israel ebenso wie aus Japan, China, Brasilien und Kuba.

Radulović erzählt über die Idee zum Album: „Als der Lockdown begann, konnte ich nicht spielen. Ich zog es vor, Musik verschiedenster Stile zu hören. Die, die mir wirklich das Gefühl gaben, lebendig zu sein, waren Mozart und Weltmusik. Sie verbanden mich mit den essentiellen Gefühlen in unseren Leben: Freude und Liebe“. Diese elektrisierende Lebensfreude hofft der junge und weitgereiste Violinist auf seine Hörer zu übertragen; er vertraut dabei auf die internationale Sprache der Musik, die über Grenzen hinaus die Menschen miteinander verbindet. Und doch hat jedes der Musikstücke seinen ganz eigenen Klang. Um ihn herauszuarbeiten, setzte sich Nemanja Radulović mit den unterschiedlichen Traditionen auseinander, wie ein Triller oder ein Bogenstrich ausgeführt wird in Ländern wie Irland, Serbien, Japan oder Indien. Gemeinsam mit einem Freund arrangierte Radulović die Werke für Violine und das von ihm gegründete Ensemble Double Sens. Entstanden ist ein lebendiges Miteinander aus Violinen, Celli, Kontrabass, Gitarre und der vielfältigen Ausdruckskraft der menschlichen Stimme.

Nemanja Radulovic, Violine (Double Sens)

Nemanja Radulovic
Serbian-French violinist Nemanja Radulović champions the power of music to bring people together with his unique energy and candour, thrilling virtuosity, depth of expression, and adventurous programming. His hotly-anticipated, ‘magical’ (Barry Creasy, musicOMH) BBC Proms debut in 2019 with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and Kirill Karabits featured a Barber Violin Concerto whose ‘lyric delicacy and last-movement super-virtuosity were caught to near perfection’ (The Times).

Winner of the 2015 Echo Klassik Award for Newcomer of the Year, Radulović is an artist who seeks to broaden the boundaries of classical music and has amassed a legion of loyal fans around the world who have enjoyed his performances with many of the world’s leading orchestras, including the Munich Philharmonic, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Staatskapelle Dresden, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Tokyo Symphony, Yomiuri Nippon Symphony in Tokyo, Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, Orquesta Nacional de España, Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, NDR Radiophilharmonie in Hanover, WDR Sinfonieorchester in Cologne, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Belgian National Orchestra, Orchestre National de Lille, Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI in Turin, Orchestra della Toscana, Tampere Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Copenhagen Phil, Geneva Camerata, Queensland Symphony, Macao Orchestra, Malaysian Philharmonic, and the Bilbao Orkestra Sinfonikoa.

Signed as an exclusive recording artist to Warner Classics in 2021, Radulović’s recent and forthcoming highlights include an extensive European tour with the Russian State Academic Symphony and Andrey Boreyko; sold-out performances with his ensemble Double Sens at such celebrated festivals as the Folle Journée de Nantes and the Chorégies d’Orange; debut engagements with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Gothenburg Symphony, Philharmonia Orchestra, Sydney Symphony, Dusseldorf Symphony, RTE National Symphony in Dublin, and Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg; the season opening of the Jeunesse Musicale series at the Vienna Konzerthaus; a play/direct performance of the Beethoven Violin Concerto with the Munich Chamber Orchestra (resulting in an immediate re-invitation and on-going relationship with the ensemble); and a special collaboration with clarinettist Andreas Ottensamer, accordionist Ksenija Sidorova, and pianist Laure Favre-Kahn, performing to audiences at festivals across Germany, Switzerland and France.

Radulović has an equal passion for the intimacy of chamber music, and is an increasingly active recitalist on the international circuit. He has performed at such notable venues as New York’s Carnegie Hall, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Berlin Philharmonie, both the Salle Pleyel and the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, the Athens Megaron, Tokyo’s Suntory Hall, Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, and the Melbourne Recital Centre in Australia. His many recital partners include Marielle Nordmann, Laure Favre-Kahn, and Susan Manoff, the latter with whom he has also recorded a disc of Beethoven Sonatas released on the Decca/Universal Music label.

Radulović also regularly undertakes a play/direct role with his infectious, high-energy ensemble The Devil’s Trills – noted for their ‘immense purity, artistic force, passion, intimacy, and exquisite dynamic choices, leaving the audience in complete astonishment’ (Johannes Seifert, Augsburger Allgemeine) – and his chamber orchestra, Double Sens, which was recently celebrated for their recordings of Bach and Rimsky-Korsakov, as well as The 5 Seasons, a piece that combines Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with a new composition, Spring in Japan, by Aleksandar Sedlar and dedicated to the Japanese tsunami victims in 2011. Their other recent recordings include Paganini Fantasy (2013), Journey East (2014), BACH (2016), Tchaikovsky (2017), and most recently Baïka (2018).

Radulović’s recognition for his work in classical music includes International Revelation of the Year by the Victoires de la musique classique in 2005, an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Arts in Niš, Serbia, and an ELLE Style Award for Musician of the Year in 2015. He is the winner of several international violin competitions, such as Joseph Joachim in Hanover, George Enescu in Bucharest, and Stradivarius in Cremona.

Born in Serbia in 1985, Nemanja Radulović studied at the Faculty of Arts and Music in Belgrade, the Saarlandes Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Saarbrücken, the Stauffer Academy in Cremona with Salvatore Accardo, and the world-renowned Conservatoire de Paris with Patrice Fontanarosa.
