Flutist Sharon Bezaly was chosen as 'Instrumentalist of the Year' by the prestigious Klassik Echo in Germany in 2002, and in 2003 received the Cannes Classical Award as 'Young Artist of the Year'. She has an exclusive contract with with BIS Records, which affords her the opportunity to record the most exciting pieces of the flute literature, on discs that have received the highest acclaim. Her perfect control of circular breathing (taught by Aurèle Nicolet) liberates Sharon Bezaly from the limitations of the flute as a wind instrument, enabling her to reach new peaks of musical interpretation, presenting an extended spectrum of colours and emotions. The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung has even compared her to David Oistrakh and Vladimir Horowitz.
