"The evening however was essentially brought to a climax by Nikita Boriso-Glebsky’s performance of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. His interpretation of the music and ability to move between the reflective moods and elaborate cadenzas and improvisatory passages, showed his true skills as a virtuoso."

"Both in the classical opuses and in the works of contemporary authors from the very first sounds one can feel the individuality of the young Russian virtuoso, his power, easy readable interaction, with the best traditions of the Russian violin school."

Rodion Schedrin

"Young soloist Nikita Boriso-Glebsky is a violinist to look out for. Still in his twenties, he approached the piece almost reverentially, as if paying homage to one of the giants of the repertoire, growing in stature and volume to make every one of Tchaikovsky’s tuneful melodies sing out to the audience.
