James Buswell,
Violinist
James
Buswell is one of the most versatile musicians of the 21st century. As a
solo violinist, he has performed more than one hundred concerti with
orchestras on five continents. In 2014 he expanded this list of solo
repertoire with debut recordings of one Turkish and one American
Concerto from the 20th century for release on the Naxos label. He was a
Grammy nominee for his recording of the Barber Violin Concerto with the
Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Distinguished conductors with whom he
has collaborated include Leonard Bernstein, George Szell, Seiji Ozawa,
Zubin Mehta, Andre Previn, Pierre Boulez, and Michael Tilson Thomas. It
was natural for Mr. Buswell to take up the baton early in his musical
career, and he has conducted opera, ballet, and symphonic repertoire
also on five continents.
While still attending Harvard University Buswell became well known as a
chamber musician and recitalist. He performed at the opening of the
Alice Tully Hall in New York with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln
Center, which he later joined as a regular artist-member. He has given
world premiere performances and made recordings of works by many
contemporary composers including Ned Rorem, Yehudi Wyner, Gunther
Schuller, John Harbison, Gian Carlo Menotti, and Ellen Taafe Zwilich.
James Buswell is also known as one of America’s preeminent teachers. He
was on the faculties of both Indiana University and the New England
Conservatory when each institution experienced a golden age of string
pedagogy. He is in great demand giving master classes and workshops all
over the world. Yet performance continues to be the center of his life
as a musician, and praise for his “sensitive, evocative, compelling
playing,” continues unabated today.
