Timofei Dokshizer
Dokshizer's sound is really far from what I usually look for when I play. Of course he is an amazing player, no doubt! But it is very old school in my perception - very romantic with huge vibrato and so on. BUT! I just love the way he plays. He is so involved in the music and many times it is very touching and moving to listen to. When I am in the right mood I just have cravings to listen to his Arutunian or Peskin. One of a kind and for sure I can say that he inspires me a lot. I attach here his classic CD with Russian concertos which is a must to hear, and another great CD with beautiful melodies from Japan. For this music I think there is no better than Dokshizer.
