Short Biography
Since he won the Echo Klassik Award for his EMI debut album in 2006 Linus Roth has made a name for himself both as one of the most interesting violinists of his generation and as a champion of wrongly forgotten works and composers. His live performances and his complete recording of Mieczyslaw Weinberg’s works for violin have brought him both critical and public acclaim. His two last CDs with this composer´s works both were named „Editor´s Choice“ by the Gramophone Magazin
After joining Prof Nicolas Chumachenco’s pre-college division Linus Roth continued his studies with Prof. Zakhar Bron and Prof. Ana Chumachenco. In 2012 he was appointed Professor for Violin at the “Leopold-Mozart-Centre” of the University of Augsburg, Germany.

Linus Roth has performed with the Radio Symphony Orchestras of the SWR and Berlin, Bruckner Orchester Linz, Orchestra Teatro San Carlo Napoli, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Orchestra of the State Opera Stuttgart, and the Munich Chamber Orchestra, and has shared the stage with the conductors Gerd Albrecht, Herbert Blomstedt, Andrey Boreyko, Dennis Russell Davies, James Gaffigan, Hartmut Haenchen Manfred Honeck, Mihkel Kütson, Antoni Wit, among others.
His latest recording contains the Violin Concertos by Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich (No. 2) with the London Symphony Orchestra under Thomas Sanderling.

Linus Roth plays the A. Stradivari “Dancla” 1703, kindly loaned to him by the “L-Bank, Staatsbank of Baden-Württemberg, Germany”.
