3 top worldclass musicians play Shostakovitch's "Largo" from his Piano Trio in E Minor -- Russian born violinist Mark Peskanov and pianist Paul Ostrovsky and 18 year-old German cellist, Marie-Elisabeth Hecker. Mark Peskanov, President and Artistic Director of Bargemusic founded by Olga Bloom in New York City invited the then relatively unknown Marie-Elisabeth Hecker to perform at Bargemusic in October 2005, and 2 weeks later she won the 8th Rostropovitch Cello Competition in Paris, France to international acclaim. This 6 minute video introduces the profoundly moving playing of new comer Marie-Elisabeth Hecker with two master musicians, Mark Peskanov and Paul Ostrovsky.

  • @magnetman224 "Your attitude towards great music is a sin". That is actually funny, thanks for the good laugh.

  • @sasha42196 Neither, your attitude towards great music is a sin

  • I must say this: The sound quality of this video is really atrocious but the playing is wonderful.

  • it's called 'expressive intonation'

  • LOL, I agree. Flat as a pancake.

  • That's incorrect. The pianist is playing an F natural and the violinist is supposedly an F# but it is quarter-tone flat, then immediately after that the f octave was terribly flat. I thought my ear drums were going to pop. I don't know what's worse, his intonation or his tie.

  • thats what I mean :) 'f#' instead of 'f' would be just wrong but not out of tune

  • i think it's out of tune as well at some points. out of tune isn't playing simultaneously a F and an F sharp. It's when playing an F and an F sharp 1/2... when the piece doesn't use microtones... :-)

  • Maria Elizabeth, I see you on dvd of Rostropovich cello competition 2005. You play beatiful. You are a great musician.

  • I went to the same school. I braided her hair for a concert. lol. good old times.
