Alexander Janiczek
Alexander Janiczek Alexander Janiczek, highly sought after as a director, soloist, guest leader and chamber musician, was born in Salzburg to a musical family of Polish and Czech descent. He began his violin studies at the age of four and went on to study with Helmuth Zehetmair at the Salzburg Mozarteum. He also participated in masterclasses with Max Rostal, Nathan Milstein, Ruggiero Ricci and Dorothy Delay.
From the age of twenty a close association with Sándor Végh and the Camerata Salzburg led to extensive tours as leader, director and soloist to most of the major festivals across Europe and the Americas. Recordings released at the same time include the HaydnSinfonia Concertante and Mozart’s G Major Concerto – played on Sándor Végh’s famous Paganini Stradivarius.
A new recording featuring Janiczek as soloist and director was released on the Linn Records label in April 2007. It is recorded with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and features Mozart’s Serenades, Divertimento in E flat and Three movements for violin solo.
