Other recent highlights this past season include the tour with the Insula Orchestra in Spain, the returns to the Nuremberg Symphony and Aalborg Symphony, and debuts with Oxford Philharmonic, Borusan Philharmonic, Tokyo Metropolitan Orchestra, Belgrade Philharmonic, Kristiansand Symphony, Odense Symphony, Mexico National Symphony Orchestra, and at the San Francisco Symphony Spotlight recital series.

Alexandra’s first recording of Prokofiev Violin Sonatas with Michail Liftis, on Aparté, was received with great acclaim: “This recording reveals Conunova as a major artist – in terms of both technical assurance and interpretative daring… I can’t recommend their freshly considered, vividly recorded interpretations highly enough” (Gramophone); “…this is already a candidate for one of the best discs of the year” (The Strad).
In Fall 2020, she recorded and released Vivaldi’s Four Seasons also on Aparté, obtaining rave reviews: “her last recording as a whole is an exquisitely light and graceful reading from everyone, crowned by ravishingly sweet-toned and dancing filigree lines from Conunova herself”, “her playing is this fabulous: the warm-toned, easy fluidity of her virtuosities; her range of articulation, colour, and shading; the subtle spontaneity; the natural shaping.” (Gramophone)
In the last years Alexandra has had the pleasure of working under the guidance and mentoring of one of the world’s leading professors, Edouard Wulfson, in Geneva.
Alexandra currently plays on Giovanni Batistta Guadagnini, ca. 1785 ex “Ida Levin”, on a kind loan from a music lover.
