Part of the VILNIUS FESTIVAL 2010

 

“Cellist Alexander Kniazev – what a discovery! His performance is marked by fiery communication, lush colouring and lyrical bowing,” wrote Le Figaro. This mysterious personality is regarded as one of today’s most charismatic cellists.

 

Violinist Sergej Krylov also gives himself fervently to music. Enraptured critics praise his performance with superlatives like “tender sophistication” or “open sensitivity.” One has only to imagine those artistic sparks that will glister on the Vilnius Festival stage during the encounter of the two string-bewitched and audience-bewitching virtuosi!
