If I am not mistaken Tamarkina plays the mazurka Op.50 No.2 in A flat major. I would love to listen to Mazurkas by Tamarkina....

This makes me so sad. All these great people destroy by war. They were wonderful wonderful people. I think Hitler should have been appeased. The world would have been a better place. 9/11 is the same. The world has become even worse since then.

There is a video of H. Neuhaus playing Scriabin in iloveclassicalmusic channel... I got deeply impressed when I saw it the other day...
Truecrypt, please, DO the miracle and find a video of Sofronitsky playing! There must be one, somewhere, it is not possible that HE dissapeared forever!

I hope gareththefireman will answer your question...
As for this clip, - I found it on one of Russian sites. Unfortunately there are very few video documents related to classical musicians. For example I haven't seen ANY video with Sofronitsky... and he was one of the greatest Russian pianists. Russian archives used to be huge but poorly maintained. We can expect some miracles...

@gareththefireman Who was she? Maybe I now her...

Oh~,what a precious film!!
Rosa Tamarkina was a first wife of Emil Gilels.
It is a pity that Tamarkina died only 30y.o. by cancer.
She was beautiful and talented woman.
