Kirill Kondrashin, Gilels, Richter, Cliburn - documentary shots...

[profesorsergio]

This is so unforgettable!!!. Thank you!!!!. Cheers!!!, Sergio.

[KONDRACHINE]

Many thanks for this video! Is it taken from the documentary quoted by Sviatoslav Richter in his "Souvenirs"? Is it possible to see the whole documentary? Is there any video of concerts or rehearsals of Kondrashin conducting symphonic music? Considering how carefully he regarded pedagogy, it is a pity that neither the Russian Radio, the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, the Bolshoi Tiatr, nor his son, Piotr Kondrashin, seem to be involved in such diffusion!

This man's last concert was somewhat awful. I don't mean the music but the circumstances around: He replaced a nervous Tennstedt (who suddenly declined conducting). Kondrashin, as a true Maestro, rehearsed the 1st Mahler's symphony in just 4 HOURS (!) and he really succeeded, but he passed away some hours after the concerto in the hotel. As any Russian musician, he is not valued as he deserves.

A super musician, bravo Kondrashin!!!

i grew up with music from richter, gilels, lupu, oistrach, kondraschin, van cliburn, rostropovich, tretjakov. i love all these legendes. only victor tretjakov and radu lupu we still have. god save them in order to make us happy with their unique interpretations.

[Argentino246]

[klausknulp]

Cyrill Kondrashin, Emil Gilels, Sviatoslav Richter, Van Cliburn .... only buy the greatest ... a real treat. Thanks for posting

[himitsunosallychan]

Thank you for letting me watch this. Emil Gilels is my hero. Second to not even the great Richter!

[Toxxic88]

Oh my god. Some of my biggest heroes are in this vid. How cool. I wish I could speak Russian *****

[billyguns2]

The Cliburn snippet is marvelous.

[Pogouldiwitz]

So, there's Russian television in France too. Andre, how big is the Russian community in France?

[truecrypt]

Actually the whole documentary was posted on Internet! I just cut out the best 3 minutes! ;)

[punkpoetry]

lol, so you too download stuff from intoclassics...

btw, Kondrashin's facetious remark (I think there is a touch of satire there: it could be understood to intimate that Gilels' choice of diction verges on the ponderous) may indicate (or anticipate) the onset of severe differences between the two, which led to the termination of their artistic alliance in the 60s

[chad410]

spasiba i think Gilels was a kind man.
