About Yuri Bondarev
“Bondarev, born in St. Petersburg, brings real musical gifts to this movement …
… now a co-principal with the Düsseldorf Symphony after experience in the Leipzig Gewandhaus and Vienna Philharmonic, he exhibits a personal voice I frankly didn’t anticipate. This begins with a wonderful singing tone, among the sweetest I’ve heard from viola soloists, which Bondarev can deepen into a growl of raw pain. His variety of tone holds the listener’s interest without pause in the Adagio [ Shostakovich’s Viola Sonata from 1975]
