Sergey Khachatryan, violinist of once-in-multi-hundreds of years, unsurpassed by any one for now, deserves much more and far better places.

[@christopherfleming7505]

He has the most beautiful violin tone I have ever heard. Bravo! I especially appreciate how he still performs with his sister, despite all his success and fame. They make a wonderful duo.

[@LKemp-lr1ky]

Sis is a star in her own right! They are both marvelous.

Very fine playing, from both brother and sister. Sergey remains undervalued - he reminds me of Kremer and his commitment to musical truth. An excellent understanding of Brahms, rendered searchingly and without fanfare or exaggerated tone, including in the simple lullaby in the end. Wonderful.

セルゲイ ハチャトリアン 彼の演奏は美しい 音色が心に染みる 実に素晴らしいと思います。有り難う

[@xptrail]

Великолепно. Браво! Звук скрипача чист, интонации красивы, штрихи на месте, интерпретация произведений просто превосходна. Пианистка с прекрасным туше, сыгранность ансамбля великолепная. Выше всяких похвал. Мои поздравления.

[@brothersamati]

A memorable performance, generous in expressiveness in a work that will bear it. Fine rapport between the players, an unbuttoned and almost abandoned climax to the first movement that gave added depth to the quiet calm that follows it. And in the finale lovely limpid semi-quavers from the piano, falling like raindrops.

ШИКАРНО РАБОТАЮТ БРАТ С СЕСТРОЙ! МОЛОДЦЫ!!!

[@johnroudi7724]

Великолепно! Помню брата с сестрой ещё детьми - начинающими, но уже тогда подающими большие надежды музыкантами. Молодцы! Спасибо родителям! Благодаря их самоотверженности их дети стали Большими музыкантами. Ирина и Владимир - уважаю!

[@ARMAKOFILMS]

BRAVOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Sergey is a genius!

[@stevengates4437]

That was quite a lullaby....

[@nickdick2]

Bravo! Finally a deep interpreter among the young generation... and he will grow... Why this bad habit to clap in between the movements??

[@belmon38]

Wonderful expressive playing, also from the violinist.

[@thisismxoxo]

[@jroiter]

[@adamchan6296]

a passionate Brahms, a crazy one, a romanticist one, a enchanted one, an inspired one, a dreamy one, perhaps it is because they are brother and sister, like Menuhins, and because they are Armenians, unexploited by so called civilization, both are in the soul of Brahms, tender, sincere, passionate, yearning, werther-like, goethe-like, you can see this clearly without doubt in their encore tune-Brahms‘ lullaby. But still Martzy is the best Brahms, there is a lack of classicism in their playing, it is too nervous, especially the violinist, Brahms is a mature person always, from no.1 to the last, well- read , self-taught, this has been a strong tradition amongst the European musicians, they have Bildung, not just Gypsies, there is a lack of cultural layers in their playing, but still they are young, the sister is more balanced, they are promising, they deserve to be expected, to surpass Martzy and Szigeti, to Surpass Gilels and Ney and Greenberg and Yudina, it is almost impossible, just like Schumann expects Brahms to be the Messiah of the Future musical world, but still it isl a noble goal to strive for as Brahms did.

[@lotusbuds2000]

Wonderful playing...but violin sound a bit too thin for this Brahms piece...

[@peace-now]

+lotusbuds2000 You are kidding! It couldn't be much fatter.

[@nickyork8901]

Maybe your sound system needs some attention? Nothing thin about his sound.
