OUTSIDE RECOGNITION

“A spectacular virtuoso, Olivier Fluchaire played with effortless brilliance, unbridled passion, and a remarkable flair for Piazzolla’s rhythmic and melodic idiom. The pieces’ many unaccompanied cadenzas showed his sonorous, intense, variable tone to fine advantage.”

Edith Eisler for New York Concert Review 

“Olivier Fluchaire gave a world-class performance during the first half of the evening's program. Performing Mendelssohn's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 64, his performance was technical and artistic perfection finely matched by the members of the symphony.”

Jennifer Gibbins for The Cordova Times 

“Pianist Yoojin Oh joined forces with Olivier Fluchaire, violin, and Peter Sanders, cello, in a performance of exceptional blending and dovetailing. Well polished […] the interpretation was striking for its unity. The trio section of the Scherzo was a high point, finding the three musicians at their most impassioned.“


Rorianne Schrade for
New York Concert Review

“He proved to be adroit, technically accomplished ... It was beautiful and expressively played.”

Harris Goldsmith (music critic for the New York Times), New York Concert Review

“Mr. Fluchaire’s technical brilliance projects his sound with great tonal beauty filled with nuances”

Le Dauphiné, France

“The group has the full measure of Borodin’s compositional approach and generates a feeling of well-bred, intelligent interaction.”

The Strad Magazine

“A polished and powerful account.”

The Strad Magazine

“When I heard him play, I always found him to be an exceptionally sensitive and a very musical violinist.”

Lord Yehudi Menuhin

“Played with great tonal beauty and a cohesiveness one would only expect from artists who have been together for many years.”

Island Arts, Shelter Island Reporter

“Mr. Fluchaire proved a talent comparable to his prestigious partner, Yehudi Menuhin”

Le Dauphine, Paris, France
