Schneiderman / Timofeyev | A Tribute to Vladimir Morkov: The Czar's Guitars

The name of VIadimir Morkov ( 1801-1864) is known only to those Western Iisteners who have been following the recent revival of the Russian seven-string guitar. Morkov stands out as a musician, music critic, composer, arranger, and pedagogue of the highest order. The disappearance of the Russian seven -string guitar after the 1917 October Revolution let the world almost completely forget this exceptional scholar and artist. Most of the guitar duets on this CD come from Morkov's manuscripts and two sets of partbooks from 1856 and 1858. Schneiderman had access t o these master copies through a Russian friend respectively he discovered it by himself at the Moscow State Library.
