Georgi Zlatev-Cherkin
I'm not sure if this is the correct transliteration, as far as there are no rules for that, but you may try it that way and also Tcherkin or Tscherkin.

Somebody is posting some old films of Tamara Volskaya on Youtube.
Actually this is from a French Balalaika site

FANTASTIC! Uncanny, too, to see a person I met later in life, from our "pre-acquaintance era". She always was, and still is, one of a kind.
Thanks for posting this, Jim.

Wonderful Jim,
Absolutely wonderful and musical playing. Mandolinists can learn a lot from Tamara Volskaya!
Thank you for bringing this under our attention,
Alex
I wonder if Tamara knows these are online.

Well, Jim... you can always e-mail the links to her.
As you (probably) know, Alex, I did introduce Tamara to Sebastiaan last summer in New York. She missed meeting you --which she had wanted to-- as it was intermission, you were busy, then she had to leave early due to some family obligation, etc. But, there's always the future...
Yes, dear Tamara is a GEM of a musician!
It is not man that lives but his work. (Ioannis Kapodistrias)
I'm impressed with her articulation, really nice. I wonder how old is she? Can't find much information about her, although her name appears a lot on Google.
fabiomachado.com
I keep my friends by not asking such questions. Tamara and her husband (and musical partner) Anatolyi Trofimov came to the States about a decade or so ago. My guess would be fifty-sixty-something-or-other... (Obviously, the Russian clip on YouTube was made earlier.) What matters,however, is that Tamara still plays up a storm-- and has a LOT of storm left in her, too!
Do go see and hear her live. Her performances are truly breathtaking!
Cheers,
Victor

Those old clips of Ms Volskaya are so lovely! I wish we could see more of her at YouTube... When looking for details, I usually focus on the player´s right hand, trying to learn something new. But did you notice how very beautiful and graceful Tamara´s LEFT hand technique is?
Indeed, I have NEVER seen anyone like Tamara who can play the most frightfully difficult passagework with NO trace AT ALL of any tension or stiffness!
The speed and resolution of YouTube does leave something to be desired, of course, as do those old films. Some of the stunning co-ordination of her playing is inevitably lost-- visually, at least, but certainly not aurally.
Tamara tours internationally, performing all the way from Japan, to Russia, to various locales in Europe, to many, MANY venues in the U.S. Treat yourselves to one (or more!) of her concerts, any chance you get.
We had a lovely chat recently, over cappuccino (me) and green tea (Tamara); she's obviously better versed in things Asian than I. She was only recently back from ONE tour, and soon off to anOTHER one. I am therefore unable to say where she is at present. What I CAN say is that, no matter where she is, she's surely playing up a storm.
Cheers,
Victor

I heard from Tamara and she said that those films were made cloe to 25 years ago which puts them in the early 1980s.
She and Anatoliy are playing in the spring:

Thanks Linda - this is great! I have been looking for Carlo at YouTube, but I think this is only the second one ever. The first was with Don Stiernberg. Let there be many more!
Besides, I really liked this composition!

This vintage clip of Mario Di Peitro on mandolin and on banjo will blow your socks off. His right hand tecnique is terrific and just as described by the Calace, Pettine & Bickford classical method books.

Enjoy!

Thanks for making me aware of the Mario Di Pieto Videos!
Great playing!
Alex
Your welcome Alex. It really is a fine example of the golden age of mandolin with terrific playing and tecnique.

VERY cool! I have a bunch of his records and knew that he had made films, but had never seen one. He was a student of Calace and the teacher of Hugo D'Alton.Originally Posted by (Grazioso @ Nov. 15 2007, 17:32)
Fabulous! Also —beyond the mandolin in particular— a fine example of the stylistic taste of that era. LOVE it!
For me, a revelation, as I had always been told (erroneously, it now appears) that the players of that era played (plectrum-wise) very clenched-fisted; so much for second-hand information...
This, by way of "cross-link" to the Holding the Plectrum thread.
