Leonid Gorokhov



Leonid Gorokhov studied at the St Petersburg Conservatoire; from there he won a clutch of prizes in both Eastern and Western Europe including the European Prize for Cultural Achievement which "recognises exceptional talent and outstanding artistic accomplishment". In 1991 he appeared as soloist with the St Petersburg Philharmonic conducted by Lord Menuhin; their strong musical rapport led to further concerto engagements with leading orchestras in Europe and the UK.

In 1995 he made a triumphal return to Russia playing the Elgar cello concerto with the Philharmonia Hungarica again conducted by Menuhin. He has also been invited to perform at such prestigious festivals as Bastad, Budapest Spring, Davos, Evian, Gstaad, Harrogate, Interlaken, Kuhmo, Ljubljana, Macau, Perth (Scotland), Schleswig-Holstein and Spoleto.
