Following early studies in Buenos Aires and Berlin, he was accepted at thirteen to the Berlin Hochschule für Musik, where he studied violin with Carl Flesch from 1928 to 1931 and composition under Paul Hindemith. At the end of these studies, his career was inaugurated by an appearance, at 17, as a featured soloist with the Berlin Philharmonic, conducted by Erich Kleiber. Shortly afterwards, he took the first prize at the 1932 Vienna Competition, and followed up this triumph five years later winning the second prize of the 1937 legendary Queen Elisabeth Competition in Bruxelles - a notable achievement since it was the great David Oistrakh who won the first prize. At the time, he was concertmaster of the Vienna Philharmonic (a position he held for several years). In this period, he also taught at the Vienna Conservatory, where one of his students (1933-1935) was Norbert Brainin, later leader of the famed Amadeus Quartet.
Odnoposoff had a brilliant career as a concert soloist, performing extensively on five continents.
In the early 1940s he moved to the USA where his Carnegie Hall "debut" took place in 1944. Among the conductors he worked with were Arturo Toscanini, Bruno Walter Ernest Ansermet, Leonard Bernstein, Fritz Busch and André Cluytens. In 1956 he returned to Vienna, where he again taught in the Vienna Conservatory. From 1975 to 1984 he was a professor of violin performance at the Zurich Hochschule für Musik in Switzerland.
An examination of his recorded legacy reveals a supreme artist, equipped with a brilliant technical command. His sonority, which emerges with great fidelity on these recordings, was astonishingly beautiful, big and round, with an exciting, penetrating quality. He was an electrifying artist, a virtuoso who must be accorded a place of honour in the pantheon of twentieth century violin legends.
Odnoposoff passed away on October 26, 2004 in Vienna.
