"Much to admire" about Quint, Bergmann and North Carolina Symphony performance

October 11, 2019

"Quint and Bergmann met for a performance of this very piece, so they brought considerably more experience to their reading here than might otherwise have been the case for such a comparative rarity, and it showed in the depth of understanding, the treatment of the score's many reflective beauties, and the unity of their approach."

Charlie Chaplin's musical side celebrated in album of new arrangements

April 17, 2019

The tuneful tramp: the forgotten musical genius of Charlie Chaplin

April 16, 2019

And, naturally, many of Chaplin’s key climactic moments involve his own instrument. “The violin in his movies always represent the most emotional moment, starting with City Light’s flower-girl theme … it was the instrument of his heart,” says Quint.

New Album Celebrates Musical Compositions of Film Star Charlie Chaplin, Born 130 Years Ago Today

"Quint added that "discovering Chaplin's music was as much of a blessing as it was perhaps the biggest challenge I've ever encountered musically speaking.  'A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow' as Chaplin described himself was easy to spot in his musical writings and it was my mission to preserve the simplicity of his soulful melodies while adding content that would be virtuosic and interesting for violin and piano...”

"It’s a triumph from start to finish"

April 8, 2019

"Headlining the project are violinist Philippe Quint and pianist Marta Aznavoorian for Warner Classics. Certainly, one would be hard-pressed to find two finer advocates for this fare, with its mix of early-20th-century popular song forms, tangos, and jazz. Quint and Aznavoorian are, as one would expect, technically excellent players. But they’ve got a winning feel for Chaplin’s freshly-spirited — but also musically-knowing — style. In a word, they don’t overdo anything."

This musical discovery will make you Smile

March 21, 2019

Quint describes Chaplin’s Smile as one of the most amazing and personal musical journeys in his career. He wanted to recapture the delight he felt as a child when first watching the timeless artistry of Chaplin. “In his films, there is always an element that everyone can relate to,” says Quint. “It’s humanity and it’s empathy, driven by his incredible instinct. Instinct that was second to none but also very thoughtful and generous and caring.”

Catching the "classic sentimental tone perfectly"

January 2019

"American violinist Philippe Quint and pianist Marta Aznavoorian, assisted in a couple of cases by none other than Joshua Bell, catch the classic sentimental tone perfectly, and the whole album can be enjoyed on several different levels, from silent movie nostalgia to unique insight into Chaplin as a creative figure."

"Philippe Quint sings Charlie Chaplin’s mellifluous movie songs"

January 2019

"The tunes are heavily romantic. Sensitively accompanied by pianist Marta Aznavoorian, and joined on two tracks by superstar violinist Joshua Bell, Quint doesn’t stint on lush feeling. But if some of the recordings border on schmaltz, it’s well-contextualized schmaltz. These musicians have technique to spare and understanding to match it – everything they need to convince us that these old chestnuts, both the familiar and the obscure, deserve attention."

Working with composer/arranger Charles Coleman, one song gradually became four, then five. When the catalog grew to seven, Quint knew he was onto something..."

Quint shines in Cabrillo with the Bolcom Violin Concerto

A "genuinely joyous performance" of Korngold

April 23, 2018

“Erich Korngold's gorgeous "Violin Concerto in D Major" concluded the first half. Renowned as a film composer, Korngold infused his music with all of the magic and romance of Hollywood's golden age. While his contemporaries surged forth into avant-garde modernism, Korngold unabashedly embraced post-Romantic grandeur. Guest soloist Philippe Quint gave a genuinely joyous performance, seeming to truly love the music and performing it, a smile never leaving his face. The second movement was particularly exquisite, its lush melodies perfectly suited to Quint's characteristically deep, resonant sound (the sound of the 1708 “Ruby” Stradivarius, to be specific). The rousing finale had incredible energy and technical brilliance...”

Khachaturian/Glazunov Concertos, Bochumer Symphoniker, Steven Sloane, conductor

April 2018

"Violinist Philippe Quint , former student of Dorothy DeLay, established a great career with many high quality recordings for Avanti and Naxos and plays one of the most magical Stradivarius, the "Ruby", and I assure you: this ruby is a beam of light at the end of winter. The lyricism of Andante sostenuto unrolled by Khatchaturian goes like a glove to the performer and his instrument. Not that there is any fault anywhere else: a great stability, a precise bow, an immaculate intonation, a continuous and varied expressiveness."
