In his early twenties Mikhail Simonyan has already achieved much attention as one of Russia’s most promising violinists.  From Novosibirsk in Russia he moved to Philadelphia to study at the Curtis Music School under Victor Danchenko, a student of David Oistrakh.  So it is only fitting that Simonyan has recently released Prokofiev’s Sonatas for Violin and piano which were written for David Oistrakh.  Listen to exerpts from the cd or check out Mikhail Simonyan’s site for more info and audio of his music or watch the following documentary.
