Hailed by the prestigious magazine The Strad, as “stunning... brilliant,” Mihai Craioveanu has concertized to great acclaim throughout the world. Pianist Radu Lupu and violinist Jamie Laredo, describe him as “very impressive,” and a “superb violinist.” Craioveanu performed sold-out concerts in venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York City (including two return engagements by popular demand), Palau de la Musica in Barcelona, and the Romanian Athenaeum in Bucharest. Among his nationally and internationally televised performances are the “Hour of Power” at the Crystal Cathedral in California, “Joy of Music” hosted by organist Diane Bish, and a live performance of the Violin Concerto No. 4 by Henri Vieuxtemps, with the Romanian National Radio Orchestra. The Strad magazine described his Carnegie Hall recital debut as “fresh and distinguished with a keen appreciation of proper style.” Following his Washington D.C., recital debut at Corcoran Gallery, the Washington Post praised his playing as “dramatic, nuanced and playful. His violin became his voice. Craioveanu ensured that it was the music, and not the musician, that came first.” Craioveanu concertized at the music festivals of Edinburgh, and Banff. His China debut at the Shanghai International Festival, was broadcast live on television and worldwide on broadband, while his Israel recital debut in Tel Aviv, at Felicja Blumental Center, was received with great acclaim and invitations for return engagements.
