His other teachers were Lord Menuhin, Dmitry Sitkovetsky, Georgy Pauk, Maya Glezarova and Maxim Vengerov. Currently Alexander is studying with Professor Pavel Vernikov in Vienna.</p>
<p>Since their first meeting in Moscow in 1990, Lord Menuhin became a great inspiration for Alexander and supported him through his school years. Together they performed the Bach Double Violin Concerto in France and Belgium, Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in Budapest as well as Bartok’s Duos at St James’s Palace in London.<br />
Alexander has performed in many international music festivals throughout Europe, including the Radio France Festival in Montpellier, the Music Festival in Oldenburg  and at the Newport Music Festival in Rhode Island, USA.<br />
He has been featured as a soloist at many famous venues throughout Europe, including The Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Wigmore Hall, Salla Verdi in Milano and the Barbican London. The Strad magazine has featured Alexander as one of the “Stars of the New Century”. He was featured as a soloist in an important Tchaikovsky documentary by BBC Television in 2007.</p>
<p>He has released two CD recordings for Angel Records (a part of Capitol/EMI Classics group).<br />
He has given a solo recital at London’s Royal Festival Hall, as well as debut performances in New York where he appeared at the Frick Collection Series partnered by Bella Davidovich.</p>
<p>His 2005-2006 schedule included engagements in the USA with the Moscow Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Constantin Oberlian, Germany, Italy, Russia and Japan.</p>
<p>During the 2006-2007 season he will be giving further performances with the Moscow Chamber Orchestra in St Petersburg. Alexander also made his debut with the English Chamber Orchestra,  Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra and BBC Concert Orchestra.</p>
