Since 2003 he was joined by his sister Andrea Stoica (piano) on concert
tours to the Netherlands, Austria, Hungary and Italy. They were much
acclaimed by the audience in their recitals, e.g. all the sonatas for
violin and piano by Brahms, Prokofiev and Fritz Kreisler.
The CD's they recorded were exceptionally well received by the international press.
According to "Tribuna" the sonata by Debussy can be counted as one of the best recordings
of this work. In 2007 Razvan Stoica was invited by the International Rotary Club
in the Netherlands to play the first Concerto in D major by Paganini with the
"Het Orkest, Symfonieorkest Amsterdam" conducted by Maestro Alexander Vakoulsky.
In September 2008 Stoica was awarded a Stradivarius for a 5-year period.
He was selected by a jury from out of 20 contenders, who
were competing for this violin. The instrument was built in 1729 and
was acquired by the Ernst family in 1753, to whom also belonged the famous violinist
Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst
(1814 - 1865), according to some, the most famous violinist of the 19th century.
The award, sponsored by an anonymous donor, was mediated through an agent of BankAustria.
