  • This is lovely - I actually felt that the balance was favored toward the piano that covered the cello sometimes - perhaps he is just working too hard on a difficult piano - but oh the musicianship is lovely

  • this has got to be the most beautiful piece ever written for cello and piano...

  • Bravissimi....

  • It's wonderful as Starker did!

  • A nice thought. I like the cellist, but the pianist is rather wayward and willful for my taste. The old piano has seen better days. It is a pity the piano sound is very hard - it does not suit the music.

  • @cynic150

    Hmph, cynical indeed. "Very hard" is a gross exaggeration. Please indicate other YouTube performances where the piano is to your liking.

  • @totophi On a second hearing it struck me as much better than the first time. The balance is rather in favour of the cello, which is very full and round in tone. So the sound of the piano, by contrast, is slightly thin and a bit forced in the fortes which should not be necessary. A very nice performance on the whole.

    I heard Krainiev live in Hong Kong playing Scriabin and was rather disappointed. Everything seemed rushed.

    try Debussy Piano Sonata, Oistrakh. Piano has lovely tone

  • R.I.P Vladimir Krainev

  • I am very thankful for those ten days recording travel Moscow, Tambov, Ivanovka

    together in 1992 with the bbc staff. My best regards by the heart to all those who

    are still there. From early in the morning till the night we had serious discussions, best music or have been jokeing and laughing the rest of the time in that small team. I keep Vladimir in my heart, remembering the small bunk bed in the train.

    Thanks for posting.

  • @dietmarmoews Dear Dietmar I am very happy to hear from you and would like to be in touch personally. We miss Vladimir very much and remember the happy time in Ivanovka. Do please let me know your email address and then we can make contact again. Thank you for your comment, which gave Karine and me much pleasure. Anthony

  • @johnanthonyphillips

    Yes, we're moving on. I keep him in my angel account, what ever

    our fading is meaning to us. I'm sorry I changed C Minor and

    G Minor but I swear I can distiguish. It was a lapsus in spoken broken.

    I hope you are well and if you are still in contact over there it is fine.

    Music and inspirated musicians are the stimulans of social living

    and supports the daily necessary tropism we all need.

    My dietmarmoews@gmx.de is public so I can leave the data here -

    the best for you &

  • Professor Krainev, you are so wonderful! I miss you so terribly. Thinking about all the joy you have given with your music and speaking about music. I will cherish your comments on my playing for ever dearly. May you live on in the music!

  • Thank you for posting this, it is quite stunningly beautiful. It's so sad to think that Rachmaninov was never able to see his own home again after leaving Russia.

    Your former student.
