I have known violinist Orpheus Leander Papafilippou for a good number of years and have also enjoyed many professional collaborations, both in violin and piano recitals as well as in concerts with his Orfeas String Quartet. Orpheus is a very talented musician, in great control of his instrument and a very nice person to work with, his broad smile greatly contributing to the cheerful mood in rehearsals and concerts.

‘Brahms’Violin Sonata was exceptional and unforgettable. Vingras and Orpheus Papafilippou (violin) caught the idiom exactly with impassioned clarity and a vigour of spring and weight. Vingras’s deftness and Papafilippou’s urgent lyricism partnered each other in exemplary balance.‘     Ken Carter, The Archer
