About the artist Baiba Skride

Baiba Skride was born into a musical Latvian family in Riga where she began her studies, transferring in 1995 to the Conservatory of Music and Theatre in Rostock. In 2001 she won the 1st prize of the Queen Elisabeth Competition. Still in her twenties, Baiba Skride has appeared with prestigious orchestras such as the Sinfonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunk, Munich Philharmonic, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Tonhalle Orchester Zürich, Orchestre de Paris, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, Melbourne Symphony, Residentie Orkest and the US orchestras of Philadelphia, Houston, Cincinnati and Detroit. Conductors Skride regularly collaborates with include Charles Dutoit, Thierry Fischer, Mark Janowski, Paavo Järvi, Neeme Järvi, Mikhail Pletnev, John Storgårds and with her peers, Mikko Franck, Andris Nelsons and Kirill Petrenko. "Skride’s playing is unfailingly intelligent - her virtuosity is allied to a sure sense of the work’s [Tchaikovsky] emotional range. Her tone is full but beautifully controlled, and her phrasing throughout has a natural flair that is compelling clear-headed, thoughtful and convincing" - International Record Review.
