Maybe we’ll get a piano lesson today. In other words, a lesson in love. His child prodigy fingers have been running in E flat major since the Khrushchev years… The Soviet Union is no more, but the music ofShostakovich survived.
Great specialist of the composer, exceptional soloist and daughter of the cellist Valentin Berlinsky (the founder of the Borodin quartet), Lyudmila Berlinskaya ensures the sustainability of certain great works. She comes and goes, between Moscow and Paris, jazz and classical music and, in these times of Ukrainian war, she tries to make other music heard than that of censorship or boycott. Who goes piano goes solo discover an east-west duo between the Berlinskaya and her lover Arthur Ancelle around their album Tsfasman, Gershwin. Also around their amused argument around Debussy or Tchaikovsky, for an audience in rompers. It is called my music box and it makes you want great music from the cradle.
