French cellist Victor Julien-Laferrière has racked up an impressive roster of prizes in his still-young career: first-prize winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2017 (the first year it was dedicated to cello), first-prize winner of the Prague Spring International Competition in 2012, a prize from the Safran Foundation for Music in 2013, and Soloist of the Year nomination at the 2018 Victoires de la Musique classique on French National TV, among others. His first sonata recording (Debussy, Franck, Brahms) was released in 2016 on the Mirare label and won high praise from the critical press, including a Diapason d’Or, CHOC from Classica, ffff from Télérama and Editors’ Choice from France Musique. His most recent recording, on the Alpha Classics label, consists of concertos by two of France’s leading contemporary composers, Dutilleux and Dusapin. This won the Diapason D’Or prize in 2023. Among the many great orchestras Julien-Laferrière has appeared with are the Royal Concertgebouw, Orchestre de Paris, Orchestre national de France, Rotterdam Philharmonic, and Bournemouth Symphony. In 2012 he, pianist Adam Laloum, and violinist Mi-sa Yang formed the Trio Les Esprits, which signed an exclusive recording contract with Sony Classical. In recent years Julien-Laferrière has also developed into an important conductor. In addition to leading his own ensemble, Consuelo, he guest conducts the Orchestre National d’Ile-de-France and the Orchestre de l’Opéra de Rouen on tour. 2nd LMMC concert.
