Robert J. Sullivan graduated Stanford University with a BA in English (1988), and Brown University with a MFA in Creative Writing (1990). During his college years, he spent a lot of time in the music libraries, listening to LPs, then CDs, and reading publications such as Gramophone and Fanfare. Following graduation, he became a contributor writer for High Performance Review (1991-2000), a hi-fi and music review quarterly. He specializes mainly in piano and violin repertoire, with side jaunts into counter-tenor and lieder singing.
Introduction
Acclaimed for his signature tone and impeccable musicianship, American violinist Aaron Rosand is one of the last standard-bearers of the school of romantic virtuosity. Besides performing the traditional repertoire, he made the premier recordings of concertos by Joachim, Hubay, Ernst, Arensky, and Godard. He has recorded extensively for the Vox, Audiofon, Biddulph, and Harmonia Mundi record labels. Professor of Violin at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, the peripatetic Rosand makes his home in London.
I spoke with Aaron Rosand on the eve of his performance of the Brahms Concerto with the San José Symphony, where he was replacing an indisposed Maxim Vengerov.
