Rodion Shchedrin, who will be 90 this winter, teamed up for a Rachmaninov Romance with two top pianists, Kissin and Trifonov, both composers in their own right.

This session was filmed at Verbier in July 2018.

It would not be possible for the three to meet today. Shchedrin is a close friend of the Putin conductor Valery Gergiev. The other two have long since left Russia. The musicianship is transcendental.
