Rutsuko Yamagishi A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

The name of Rutsuko Yamagishi's master gives us a hint. Lazar Berman studied at the Moscow Conservatory under the famous professor Alexander Goldenweiser. Goldenweiser studied at the Conservatory under Professor Alexander Siloti, together with his classmate Rachmaninoff. Siloti, who advised his much younger cousin Rachmaninoff to study at the Moscow Conservatory, was one of the most famous students of Liszt in his later years, as well as being a leading figure in the musical world in Russia in the early 20th century. In summary, Lazar Berman is descended from the authentic genealogy comprised of Liszt and Rachmaninoff. Therefore Rutsuko Yamagishi, Berman's only student in his last years, is the last direct descendant of this genealogy. The genetic characteristics of the musicians in this genealogy are enthusiasm, ecstasy and a fiery appeal to the five senses. Rutsuko Yamagishi certainly inherits such characteristics.
