Hugues Borsarello:
“It is inevitably Arthur Grumiaux that one thinks of when listening to Hugues Borsarello play Mozart” (Diapason – Sept. 2015): These words alone sum up the exceptional instrumental talent of this brilliant and charismatic violinist. Ease, fluidity, elegance, precision are among the musical qualities associated with his name; but his luminous tone and his airy playing are above all unanimous with critics as well as with his peers and the public. His contagious pleasure in sharing music and his ability to create a real osmosis earned H. Borsarello the natural support of his partners such as Gautier Capuçon, Frank Braley, Jérôme Ducros, Françcois Dumont... Accustomed to TV sets, Hugues Borsarello works with number of great conductors and opera singers such as Karine Deshayes, Jodie Devos, Fabienne Conrad,
Regularly invited as a soloist and chamber musician in France and abroad, his repertoire ranges from Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, to Tchaikovsky or Sibelius and to the virtuoso works of Saint-Saëns, Kreisler, Sarazate, Paganini … H. Borsarello plays a violin by V. Ruggieri, Cremona c.1695 and a bow by Léonard Tourte c.1790.
