“Music can be all things to all men. It is like a great dynamic sun in the center of a solar system which sends out its rays and inspiration in every direction. … It is as if the heavens open and a divine voice calls. Something in our souls responds and understands. We are speaking here of the most inspired music.”

“You have to love dancing to stick to it. It gives you nothing back, no manuscripts to store away, no paintings to show on walls and maybe hang in museums, no poems to be printed and sold, nothing but that single fleeting moment when you feel alive.”

Friday night, Van Cliburn gold-medalist Stanislav Ioudenitch and London International Piano Competition winner Behzod Abduraimov will present a Van Cliburn Tribute Concert at Helzberg Hall (http://tinyurl.com/pq36b7e). One of the pieces they will perform is Rachmaninoff’s Suite No. 1 for Two Pianos. The final movement is called Russian Easter, and sounds like all the bells in Moscow are ringing. Here it is performed by Emanuel Ax and Yefim Bronfman.
