`Valentin Berlinsky (1925-2008) was a founding member of the
Borodin Quartet and its cellist and mainstay for more than six
decades. A proud Russian but also a man of compromise, his was a
life lived for and through the Borodin Quartet. This book tells his
story in his own words, lovingly compiled and edited by his
grand-daughter, Maria Matalaev, from his diaries, correspondence
and interviews, and his accounts of his close friendships with the
likes of Shostakovich and Richter, Rostropovich and Oistrakh.
Supplemented by tributes from family and friends, as well as an
impressive annexure giving every performance, broadcast and
recording made by the Borodin Quartet, this book constitutes one of
the most revealing chronicles of Soviet and post-Soviet Russian
musical life. In 2005, at the celebrations for both his 80th
birthday and the 60th anniversary of the Borodin Quartet, Valentin
Berlinsky sat down at a table with his students and said: `My
dears, please, keep going: never leave Russia!'
