Vadim appears regularly with major orchestras worldwide, including, in North America, the Chicago Symphony, San Francisco, Minnesota, Cincinnati, Detroit, Houston, Seattle, Toronto and Vancouver Symphony Orchestras and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra; in Europe, the London Philharmonic, London Symphony, BBC Symphony, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Leipzig Gewandhaus, the Munich, Dresden and Czech Philharmonic Orchestras, Stuttgart Radio Orchestra, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse and Finnish Radio Symphony; in Israel, the Israel Philharmonic and Jerusalem Symphony, and in Asia, the NHK and KBS Orchestras.

An exclusive recording artist for BIS Records, Mr. Gluzman’s latest CD release (Autumn 2011) under his exclusive contract with BIS Records is Gubaidulina’s In tempus praesens with the Luzerner Sinfonieorchester under Jonathan Nott. His spring 2011 release of works by Max Bruch with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Andrew Litton, including the much-loved Violin Concerto No 1, prompted reviewers to draw comparisons with such Golden Age players as Kreisler and Oistrakh; in France, it won a Diapason d’Or de l’Année 2011 award for best concerto and a Clef de l’Année 2011 in the chamber music category from ResMusica, as well as a Choc de Classica 2011, while in the UK it was named Editor’s Choice by Classic FM Magazine, Orchestral Choice by BBC Music Magazine and was a Selection of the Month by The Strad Magazine.

Upcoming performances this winter spring following the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra include a tour of Germany with the Schleswig-Holstein Orchestra, the UK premiere of Dvarionas' Violin Concerto under Neeme Järvi with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, appearances with the Bergen Philharmonic, Orquesta Sinfónica RTVE Madrid, the San Francisco Symphony, Minnesota Orchestra, Pacific Symphony, IRIS Orchestra, ProMusica Chamber Orchestra, and performances with the Baltic Youth Philharmonic at the Dresden Music Festival and Schumannfest Düsseldorf, among others.
