Arturo Delmoni, Violin

Arturo Delmoni is one of the most celebrated artists of his generation. His remarkably distinctive playing embodies the romantic warmth that is the special province of the great virtuosi of the golden age of violin playing. Yo-Yo Ma describes Delmoni as “an enormously gifted musician and an impeccable violinist." Richard Dyer of the Boston Globe wrote “It’s hard to imagine how the violin could be much better played than Delmoni did; he plays with astonishing speed, lightness, fluency and sweetness of tone.”

Delmoni made his debut at Carnegie Hall at age 14 playing the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with the Little Orchestra Society. Since then he has been a soloist with the St. Louis, Dallas, Spokane, the Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra of Boston, the California Chamber Symphony, the New York City Ballet Orchestra; the Rhode Island, Brooklyn, Boston, Omaha and Kansas City Philharmonics, and the Boston Pops.

As a chamber musician, Delmoni has performed with illustrious colleagues such as Pinchas Zukerman, Elmar Oliveira, Emanuel Ax, Nathaniel Rosen, and Dudley Moore. Audiophiles and audio critics regard his recording of unaccompanied violin music of Ysaÿe, Kreisler and Bach as a reference for the sound of a solo violin.

Delmoni’s duo recital recording with cellist Nathaniel Rosen, entitled “Music for a Glass Bead Game” was nominated for an AFIM Indie Award, received a Golden Ear award, and was on Fanfare’s “Best of the Year” list. Arturo Delmoni plays a JB Guadagnini, 1780.
