Bartlomiej “Bartek” Niziol (born January 1, 1974 on February 1, 1974 in Szczecin (Poland) is a Polish violinist who plays in a belcanto style. His interpretations are usually thorough and objective.

As we can read on the site of the Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society of Poznań, “assisted by a group of domestic and international consultants, as well as the Board of the Wieniawski Society of Poznań, Konstanty Andrzej Kulka, one of the most illustrious Polish musical artists prepared the competition. With Wanda Wilkomirska and Bartlomiej Niziol, who represent two very different generations of the Competition’s laureates, and eight other international violin luminaries, he looked for young virtuosos most worthy of the Wieniawski 2006 laurel”.

Niziol in an interview in 1995 by Studio (Polish magazine that focuses on classical music) were asked why been involved in so many contests. He responded the question that “Probably only the latest Parisian competition actually gave me full satisfaction. That’s why my activities so far have included such a great number of competitions”. In relation to his participation in the Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition in Poznan Niziol said: “It was, of obviously, a tremendous feeling winning the competition because this Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition is considered in our country (in Poland as being one of the most significant artistic occasions. However I have to declare I won’t be able to say that this First Prize in Poznan doesn’t generate a lot of money. Naturally I was noticed throughout the country in Polandas well as received some recognition however nothing is as important the fact that I played just a handful of subsequent performances only in Poland.
