Born in 1984 in Moscow, Boris Giltburg moved to Tel Aviv at an early age, studying with his mother and then with Arie Vardi. In 2013 he won first prize at the Queen Elisabeth Competition, catapulting his career to a new level. In 2015 he began a long-term recording plan with Naxos Records.
- “Boris Giltburg‘s Rachmaninoff album, with all its muscular charm, is fantasy fiction in sound.”
In 2016/17, Giltburg appears for the first time with Nashville Symphony (under Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero), Oslo Philharmonic and Helsinki Philharmonic, and makes his Australian debut in Spring 17 with Adelaide Symphony and Tasmanian Symphony. He returns to Orchestre National de Belgique this season, and plays the AIDS gala with Munich Chamber Orchestra. Recital highlights include Carnegie Hall, Amsterdam Muziekgebouw, Wigmore Hall, Hamburg Laeiszhalle and Beijing Forbidden City Concert Hall.
Boris Giltburg’s first two solo releases on Naxos, featuring works of Schumann and Beethoven, prompted enthusiastic reviews and critical acclaim. A favorite of music critics, the latest Rachmaninov recording was named Gramophone’s Disc of the Month. Boris Giltburg is also an avid amateur photographer and blogger, writing accessible guides about classical music for a non-specialist audience.
