Victoria Aretinskaya (domra) and Sergei Gudelev (classical guitar) perform their arrangement of Prelude For Piano No.2 by Yevgeny Fyodorovich Svetlanov (1928-2002). This comes via Guitar Salon International and their YouTube channel. Really nice performance with excellent ensemble phrasing and separation. Here’s an excerpt from the youtube description:
Svetlanov’s music is very beautiful and accessible. Deeply influenced by popular imagery, it is reminiscent of Russian folklore. For this reason, we perform these pieces in a somewhat unusual duo. The domra, a traditional Russian folk instrument, has a bright, very characteristic timbre. Its recognizable lyrical ‘legato’ sound is achieved through a tremolo technique. In this video, you will hear a three-string domra built in 1976 by Viktor Khromov (1932–2005). It sounds beautiful in a combination with a new 2025 Vladimir Druzhinin guitar, an instrument we are happy to feature at GSI.
