Life

Born in Munich, Turban's mother was a pianist, his father a music-loving physician, his sister Dietlinde an actress. At the age of 12 he was accepted into the violin class of Gerhart Hetzel  [ de ] in Munich. He also attended courses in the US with Jens Ellermann and Dorothy DeLay.

In 1985, he became first concertmaster at the age of 21 of the Munich Philharmonic under Sergiu Celibidache. [1] Celibidache's esteem was expressed in the bon mot , "I am Celi and you are Turbi." [2] In 1986, Celibidache let him perform as a soloist for the first time. In 1988, he left the orchestra and began a successful soloist career. In 1991 he made his debut at La Scala in Milan and in Washington.

In 1995, he received a professorship at the State University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart. [3] In 2005, Turban founded the chamber orchestra "I Virtuosi di Paganini". [3] This corresponds with his special commitment to the works of Paganini. [3] Since 2006, Turban has been a professor at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München. [4]

Turban plays the great violin literature "from Bach to Berg", [5] but also many rarely or never before heard works of all styles. Among them are curiosities such as Otto Soldan's Adagio religioso – Quartet for one violin, which is bowed over all four strings with detached bow hairs. [6] Turban likes to play this piece as an encore.

As of 2020, Turban has released over 40 CDs, [7] including violin-accompanied literary readings by his sister Dietlinde Turban. He is a member of the string trio Deutsches Streichtrio. [8]

He was awarded the Günther-Klinge-Kulturpreis of the municipality of Gauting in 1999. He won the International Classical Music Awards Special-Achievement-Award 2021. [9]
