Thread: Russian greats

To those of you who love violin virtuosi, I strongly recommend to get any recording
you can find of those guys:
Eduard Grach
Igor Politkovsky
Yulian (or Julian) Sitkovetsky
Andrei Korsakoff
Boris Goldstein (or Golshtein)
Samuiil Furer
Elizabetta Gilels (yes,the sister)
Oleg Kagan
Viktor Pikhaizen
All of them were just great.

.....and dead?


It would be nice to hear them play live. Sadly I don't have those kinds of connections

Grach, Kagan and Pikaizen are alive. Gilels I think is alive too. And you can add Valery Igorovich Oistrakh.
