Oleg Larionov – Reviews
...The enchanting sound of viola conjured by Oleg Larionov has left a permanent trace in memory. With his incomparable sense of style he transferred from Mozart to the works of romantic period as if he had switched to another instrument with more volume and deeper and darker timbre. Thus after light and supple Mozart's trio the large solo viola opening of Max Bruch's cycle took breaths away – it was a true praise to the voice of viola...
from Turun Sanomat by Aija Haapalainen (translation)
...The playing of Oleg Larionov is filled with outstanding individuality – it is touching, passionate, at times stirringly inflaming.
The piano part performed by Maria Kamchilina-Larionova not only frames, but as well determines the sound of the whole – she radiates the flair of ensemble playing, fine expression and masterly command of the instrument, which sounds incomparably.
The duo's playing penetrates into listeners' hearts with outstanding artistry and sensitive interconnection between the players, leaving lasting impression...
