A Warner Classics Artist, his most recent album “American Road Trip”, a journey through the landscape of American music with pianist Orion Weiss, was released in August 2024. Other albums for Warner Classics include Paganini’s 24 Caprices (2018); Brahms and Ligeti Violin Concertos (2019); the GRAMMY-nominated “Bohemian Tales”, which includes the Dvořák Violin Concerto with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Jakub Hrůša (2020); the GRAMMY-nominated recording of Bach’s complete Sonatas and Partitas; and “Recuerdos”, a Spain-themed album featuring works by Sarasate, Tarrega, Prokofiev and Britten (2022).

Further distinctions followed, including an Avery Fisher Career Grant (2009), U.K.’s Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship (2011), and an honorary doctorate from the University of Exeter in the U. K. (2017). In 2018, he was named “Instrumentalist of the Year” by the influential magazine Musical America. Hadelich holds an Artist Diploma from The Juilliard School, where he studied with Joel Smirnoff, and in 2021, was appointed to the violin faculty at Yale School of Music. He plays a 1744 violin by Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù, known as ‘Leduc, ex Szeryng’, on loan from the Tarisio Trust.

Press.

„Sibelius’ Violin Concerto in the first half of the concert was exquisitely performed by Augustin Hadelich. His playing had great naturalness – nothing felt forced, never did it seem like he was in competition with the orchestra. His cadenza unfurled poetically, the double-stopping never gruff.“

Bachtrack, Mark Pullinger, 22.10.2022

„Hadelich plays with outstanding power of expression and great mastery, without ever smoothing over the score’s intentional roughness. With his carefully crafted tone he is able to espouse all Ligeti’s musical masks and provocations with great vigour. Thomas Adès’ cadenza drives Hadelich well and truly to the top of the circus tent. Magnificent!“

Süddeutsche Zeitung, Harald Eggebrecht, 22.06.2019

„Augustin Hadelich demonstrates a phenomenal style of violin playing. Incisive and full of temperament, with rubati both sensible and sensitive.“

Norddeutscher Rundfunk NDR Kultur, Philipp Cavert, 03.05.2019

„Augustin Hadelich is one of the best violinists in the world.“

Neue Zürcher Zeitung am Sonntag, Christian Berzins, 24.03.2019

„The essence of Hadelich’s playing is beauty: reveling in the myriad ways of making a phrase come alive on the violin, delivering the musical message with no technical impediments whatsoever, and thereby revealing something from a plane beyond ours.“

The Washington Post, Robert Battey, 08.12.2011
