To Live Is To Express

Interview: The Twiolins, Violin Duo

What do you consider to be the most important ideas and concepts to impart to aspiring musicians?
Many musicians in universities/conservatoire and even as professionals think someday somebody will stop by, discover their art and talent and start their career for them. That practising is the only solution. Our advice is: Never wait. Go outside, play as much as you can and start asking questions how the business is done. Because if you want to make a living from your art you have to start to think like a business man/woman – because that’s what it is, a business. And after that, you have to learn to switch between your business and your artistic personality.

3 Essential Recordings That Explore Vittorio Grigolo’s Art

Vittorio Grigolo is undeniably one of the finest artists of his generation.
Born on Feb. 19, the tenor embodies what most would want from a leading man. Great looks. Tremendous acting dynamics. A powerfully resonant voice with both strength and tenderness. And most of all, he is highly unpredictable, meaning that every performance is quite an adventure.
The Romantic Hero
The tenor’s French album shows exquisite sense of control from Grigolo.
The Italian Tenor
The tenor’s finest display of his work in the Italian repertoire is this release for Sony.
Les Contes d’Hoffmann
There aren’t very many video releases of the tenor at work and less so as a leading man.
