Does anyone here know the identities of any of these people? Guessing number 2 could be Levine.

that's not classical also a reminder that Shostakovich as a head of the board of music commissioners rooted out this kind of kitsch "folk" performances

those are exiled cassocks that left Russia in 1921 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Cossack_Choir I acknowledge it's folk music, but I'd argue a professional a cappella rendition of a song originally collected by Balikirev and popularized by Chaliapin belongs here.

There's talk of Joshua Bell. Imagine if Britten were alive today... he would be getting fucking torn apart.
Christian Lee
The last one is perhaps Domingo, he's supposed to be something of a sex addict.

youtube.com/watch?v=xjQB_MLY1RQ First time listening to Medtner. There's something about his sense of rhythm that I really like. 1:18-1:31 uses 3:4 in such a pretty way, and the entirety of the 8/8 in the second piece is just amazing.
I just listened to it thouroughly. So fucking powerful, some parts I feel like someone is holding a knife at my neck. The contrast between the darkness of the bass line and the high pitched voices. Truly amazing. Can you recommend some other pieces that have this dark feeling to it?
