Mikhail Zemtsov

Based on the provided release titles and my knowledge base, Mikhail Zemtsov is a highly respected violist and arranger. Born in Russia, he is now based in the Netherlands where he serves as a professor of viola at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Zemtsov is known internationally as a soloist, chamber musician, and passionate advocate for the viola repertoire. His career is marked by a dedication to expanding the instrument's literature, frequently creating his own arrangements of major works (like the Brahms Horn Trio listed) and championing lesser-known pieces, as evidenced by projects like his "Complete Works for Viola" series. His performances and recordings, such as "Vibraciones de México," showcase a wide stylistic range and a deep commitment to giving voice to this beautiful instrument.
