Timofeyev – Schneiderman – A Tribute to Visotsky

This album shines a spotlight on Mikhail Vysotsky, a 19th-century Russian guitar virtuoso whose genius has long been eclipsed by his contemporaries. Rising from humble beginnings, Vysotsky’s unmatched talent and magnetic performances earned him legendary status in his era.
Featuring a selection of his most compelling variations on Russian folk songs, this recording highlights Vysotsky’s pioneering mastery of the seven-string guitar. His music, rich in emotional depth and technical brilliance, offers a vivid portrait of Russia’s vibrant musical heritage.
Through this collection, we celebrate the artistry of Mikhail Vysotsky, reviving his legacy and inspiring guitarists to embrace his innovative spirit.
