The first unrecorded concert with Spivakov
I attended in Moscow Conservatory in 1994 ( I hope I can acquire this correct from
my memory ) , where Maestro along with Vladimir Kniazev soloed in Brahms two-base hit
concerto with Russian National Orchestra, under Mikhail Pletnev. All the
images on this page were taken by my hubby, Boris Baryshnikov ( more merriment
images you can happen here ) , after “ Moscow Virtuosi ” ‘s concert in
Wheaton College, Wheaton, Il in April 2000. This concert gathered together
rather a figure of Russian-speaking people. All of us were delighted to see the
same heat of Spivakov ‘s superb music reading, every bit good as unassuming
generousness to the hearers. We were lucky to acquire his autograph which I am
proudly showing ( to be added ) here and take a portion in the press-conference
after the concert.
