赫胥宏Philippe Hirschhorn（1946年 - 1996年11月26日），出生在拉脱维亚首都里加。1967年伊莉沙白国际小提琴大赛首奖得主，同年参赛的克来曼拿到第三名。他先是就读于里加和圣彼得堡音乐学院{当时还叫列宁格勒）。他虽然是最有天赋的小提琴家之一，但他还没有得到全世界的关注时候，于1996年在布鲁塞尔因脑瘤去世，享年五十岁。现存的珍贵录音和视频是他的技术和音乐能力的记录，值得收藏！

          Philippe Hirschhorn (1946 – 26 November 1996) was a violinist who won the Queen Elisabeth Music Competition in 1967 (the year in which Gidon Kremer won the third prize). Born in Riga,Latvia, he first studied at the conservatory of Riga with Prof. Waldemar Sturestep, later he studied with prof Michael Waiman at the Conservatoire of St. Petersburg (Then still called Leningrad). He played concerts all over the world (Europe, America and Japan) with the most prestigious orchestras conducted by amongst others Herbert von Karajan. He played together with Elisabeth Leonskaya, Martha Argerich, Mischa Maisky, Zino Vinnikov, Hans Mannes and Brigitte Engerer. Although being one of the most gifted violinists ever, he did not gain worldwide attention. The rare recordings that exist of him playing are examples of his technical and musical abilities. He died in 1996 in Brussels at the age of fifty, from a brain tumor. He was the teacher of many excellent violinists who dedicated their working life to performing and teaching, among others Philippe Graffin, Cornelia Angerhofer, Evert Sillem, Janine Jansen, Yoris Jarzynski, Marie-Piere Vendome and many others.
