Pierre
Amoyal is well known to music lovers. He has played with the greatest
conductors and orchestras in the most prestigious concert halls of the
world. This virtuoso is also the lucky owner of the one of the most
beautiful violins ever made : the famous "Kochanski," a Stradivarius that
was stolen from him in 1987, and which was miraculously recovered four years
later by the Italian "Carabinieri". When Amoyal was
only twelve years old, he completed his studies at the Paris Conservatory
with a First Prize. The prodigy then left for Los Angeles to study with the
legendary Jascha Heifetz. The two spent five intense years together,
culminated by chamber music concerts and recordings with the cellist, Gregor
Piatigorski. At the age of 22, he made his European debut with the late Sir Georg Solti and the Orchestre de Paris, followed by appearances in all of the major European capitals, as well as in the USA, Canada, Mexico, South America and in the Far East. Amoyal has played under the most important conductors of the last three decades: von Karajan, Ozawa, Boulez, Maazel, Solti, Pretre, Sanderling, Roshdestvensky, Rattle, and Mung Whun Chung, to name only a few. His first appearance with the Berlin Philharmonic under Maestro von Karajan in Berlin was followed by many further performances with this orchestra, including the German premier of the Dutilleux Concerto under Lorin Maazel. In 1985, he made his recital debut in Carnegie Hall, which received outstanding critical acclaim.
