Mstislav Rostropovich

Mstislav Rostropovich, with whom the young violinist often performed in joint programs, had a great influence on the musician’s work. Some memorable occasions included performances of Beethoven and Tchaikovsky violin concertos at the Auditorium National de Madrid in the presence of Queen Sofia of Spain, at the Tonhalle in Zurich, in Parma and in Baku.

At the invitation of Mstislav Rostropovich’s daughter Olga, Sergej Krylov took part in the memorial week to celebrate the great Maestro.

 

“I was amazed by the quality of this remarkable violinist whom I consider to be one of the five best contemporary violinists in the world,”- Rostropovich wrote about his young colleague.
