Vadim Repin’s many CDs include prize-winning recordings of the great Russian violin concerti by Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky on Warner Classics. His first recording for Deutsche Grammophon featured the Beethoven Violin Concerto with the Vienna Philharmonic and Riccardo Muti, coupled with Beethoven’s Kreutzer Sonata with Martha Argerich; the second, the Brahms Violin Concerto and the Brahms Double Concerto (Truls Mørk, cello) with the Gewandhaus Orchester Leipzig and Riccardo Chailly. The London Sunday Times wrote: “It is hard to think of recent recordings of these great works that match the splendour of sound and musical insight here. Superb.” He recorded Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov trios with Mischa Maisky and Lang Lang, which was awarded the Echo Classic, and performed these in Madrid, London and in summer 2010 in Salzburg. In May 2011, Vadim appeared in a Trio with Lang Lang and Mischa Maisky at the Royal Festival Hall in London to great acclaim. His latest release is a CD of works by Grieg, Janacek and César Franck with Nikolai Lugansky.

In February 2010, he was awarded the Victoire d’Honneur, France’s most prestigious musical award for a lifetime’s dedication to music, and in December 2010 he became Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres.
