New York-based Anastasia Khitruk comes from a musical and artistic family.
After immigrating to the United States, Ms.  Khitruk continued the violin
studies she had begun at Moscow's Central Music School.  Her talent was
immediately recognized when she made her orchestral debut at the age of
eight.  Since then, she has appeared in concert and recital worldwide,
including numerous performances in Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Aspen,
London, Geneva, Adelaide, Sofia, Paris, and Moscow -- where Katerina
Birukova of Vremya wrote: "She sparkles with brilliant violin playing."
In his review of her performance of the Shostakovich Concerto No.  1 at
the Adelaide Festival for Real Time, Chris Reid declared, "Anastasia
Khitruk is masterful!" She has been a prizewinner at numerous competitions
in the U.S.  and internationally, including the Paganini International
Violin Competition.  Her previous Naxos release, CD 8.570028 'Virtuoso
Music at the Court of Catherine the Great' - performances of the solo
violin music of Ivan Khandoshkin - has also received international
acclaim.  Visit her online at http://www.anastasiakhitruk.com.  See a
