Maxim Rysanov has established himself as one of the world's best and most charismatic viola players. He performs in major concert halls worldwide with renowned conductors, orchestras and chamber partners.
The past season was crowned with two performances at the BBC Proms Festival in London in the summer of 2010. He appeared first as part of the annual tour of the EUROPEAN UNION YOUTH ORCHESTRA (Berlioz Harold in Italy with Matthias Bamert). Additionally he closed the BBC Proms Festival together with the BBC SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA (Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations with Jiří Bělohlávek) at the iconic Last Night, which is watched and heard by millions worldwide.
In March he was the soloist with the PHILHARMONIA and Fabio Luisi in both London's Royal Festival Hall and at the Hong Kong Festival. Other highlights include concerts with the MALAYSIAN PHILHARMONIC (Berlioz Harald in Italy with Yan Pascal Tortelier), and appearances with the LATVIAN NATIONAL ORCHESTRA (Schnittke Concerto with Hartmut Haenchen), the LITHUANIAN CHAMBER ORCHESTRA (a programme directed from the viola), the PRAGUE RADIO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA (Bruch Double Concerto with Juraj Valcuja), the NETHERLANDS RADIO PHILHARMONIC (Walton Concerto with Alexander Lazarev).
He is already looking forward to the forthcoming season in which he will appear with the NDR PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA (Bartok Concerto with Eivind Gullberg Jensen), the ORCHESTRE D'AUVERGNE (Schubert Arpeggione and Tabakova Suite with Christoph Poppen), DANISH NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA (Walton Concerto with Michael Schoenwandt), the ULSTER ORCHESTRA (Walton Concerto with Paul Watkins), the FRANKFURT RADIO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA (Mozart Sinfonie Concertante with Janine Jansen, violin and Philippe Herreweghe, conductor), the GURZENICH ORCHESTRA (with Mark Elder), the ORCHESTRA OF CASTILLA AND LEON (with Vassily Petrenko), and concerts with the SHANGHAI SYMPHONY and the GUANGZHOU SYMPHONY.
Maxim is also a keen chamber musician, and this season his engagements include the Zagreb Festival, the Vinterfest, Eilat Festival, Cheltenham Festival, Wigmore Hall. He is also the named artist-in-residence at the Valladolid concert hall in Spain. His chamber partners include Piotr Anderszewski, Leif Ove Andsnes, Katya Apekisheva, Kristine Blaumane, Michael Collins, Augustin Dumay, Martin Frost, Janine Jansen, Jacob Katsnelson, Gidon Kremer, Mischa Maisky, Viktoria Mullova, Eldar Nebolsin, Alexei Ogrintchouk, Julian Rachlin, Maxim Vengerov, Denis Matsuev and Ashley Wass.
Maxim has long been recognised by the international music scene and his list of prizes affirm that status. These include the Classic FM Gramophone Young Artist of the Year Award 2008 and the BBC New Generation Award 2007-2009 as well as the Geneva (2005), Lionel Tertis (2003) and Valentino Bucchi (1995) competitions.
His enthusiasm for new music has generated collaborations, which have extended the viola repertoire. This includes several chamber and concerto works by Dobrinka Tabakova. Other composers who have written specifically for Maxim include Artyom Vassiliev, Elena Langer and Richard Dubugnon. Several concerts are also planned worldwide for the posthumous premiere the Viola Concerto by Valentin Bibik (1940-2003).
Maxim's first solo commercial CD burst onto the recording scene with a Gramophone Editor's Choice award; his next two releases gained the same accolade and a fourth reached the top of the I-Tunes charts in the USA. This year his recording output has taken another leap forward with his debut disc for the Bis label (Bach Solo Suites released in September 2010) and a concerto disc with the SWEDISH CHAMBER ORCHESTRA and Muhai Tang (due for release in March 2010). Additional discs to come out of the recording studio this season are a second volume of Brahms chamber music (Onyx), Dvorak chamber music (Avanti), Bruch chamber music (Bis), and a project with the BBC SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA on Chandos (Britten works for viola and orchestra with Edward Gardner).
Originally from the Ukraine, Maxim has made London his home. He is delighted to have a Giuseppe Guadagnini viola (1780) on extended loan from the Elise Mathilde Foundation.
