Ivry Gitlis (1922-2020) was an Israeli violinist, one of the most individual violin personalities of the twentieth century. He was known for intensity, freedom and a highly distinctive tone.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Sibelius’s Violin Concerto with Jascha Horenstein and French radio forces.

Gitlis’s playing could be volatile, searching and fiercely expressive, making familiar repertory feel newly unstable and alive.

His page is essential despite a compact catalogue footprint. Gitlis brings wild violin weather to the Sibelius shelf.
