« The violinist Aylen Pritchin clearly carries all the hopes of the new generation of princes of the bow. »
Classica
« The companion performance of Brahms’s Violin Concerto was violinist Aylen Pritchin. This was a crack musical team at the top of its game, making Brahms sound fresh, exciting and brilliant. You’d struggle to hear this music played better anywhere. »
