lwl Posted September 28, 2001 Report Posted September 28, 2001 Alexander Sitkovetsky has a debut CD out called "Sascha". I was not blown away by it, but it's certainly fine playing. The liner notes say that he's part of "the" Sitkovetsky family, but I'm wondering exactly what relationship he has. Julian Sitkovetsky married the pianist Bella Davidovich. I believe they only had one child, Dmitri. Checking Dmitri's bio, it says that he is married to an American woman and has only one child, a daughter. Alexander's mother is Olga Sitkovetsky. Any idea where they fit into the family tree?
Toscha Posted September 28, 2001 Report Posted September 28, 2001 Alexander is the cousin of Dmitri, according to The Strad. Toscha
Jane Posted September 28, 2001 Report Posted September 28, 2001 Yes this is correct. Dmitri also plays violin and is conductor of the Ulster Orchestra I believe. I have heard him play at the Wigmore Hall. Alexander had his Wigmore Hall debut last Monday (24th Sept) but I was unable to go. I would have liked to have seen him. He was a contestant in the BBC young musicians last year, but although he did very well was not the eventual winner ( that went to the cellist Guy Johnston who opened this years Proms season with the Elgar concerto). I'm sure we'll hear a lot more of him in the future. Jane
