Russian Themes


.



I decided to combine two of my interests today into one post,
since they are both related to Russia...

I've been listening to Russian pianists included in a Brilliant Classics
CD-box release Legendary Russian Pianists:








I've also been watching an old Russian (Soviet) silent movie
Man with a Movie Camera (1928) by Dziga Vertov:







So, here are all the pianists featured with backgrounds,
which are stills from the beginning of the film,
(where a silent movie is being set up in a theatre with an orchestra
and the audience is filling the auditorium):




Konstantin Igumnov




Heinrich Neuhaus



Samuel Feinberg



Maria Yudina



Vladimir Sofronitsky



Vladimir Horowitz



Grigori Ginzburg



Lev Oborin



Maria Grinberg



Yakov Flier
