About this item

A dream team trio of interpreters for these deeply emotional masterpieces of Russian Romanticism.Gidon Kremer is celebrating his 70th birthday on (February 27th, 2017) with a special chamber music program together with outstanding young pianist Daniil Trifonov and renowned cellist Giedr Dirvanauskait , both of whom he personally chose for this recording. It is an album full of correlations and a clear underlying conception. Neither Gidon Kremer nor his musical confederates care about brilliant effects; their concern is always to unveil the truths and messages hidden in the music. To me, Kremer explains, being an artist has always been a calling. But, he emphasizes, I don t want this by any means to sound emotive, because I don t consider myself important.
