Micha- you are absolutely right, and he was a great, great teacher. I believe he was 81 when he recorded this. If you are interested, you should look for two LP records- one of the Rachmaninoff Sonata (Kodaly Sonata with Piano on the other side) and the Strauss Sonata (Shostakovich on the other side) Both are Nonesuch Records. Some of the most brilliant and subtle interpretations you will ever hear.
And he may have been a number of years older than 81 at the time. He was a great artist, but constantly learning and developing- and what a marvelous (and kind) teacher. You can see and hear his masterclasses at: www.cello-academy.com/harvey-shapiro-lessons.

Очень хорошее исполнение. Браво и светлая память отличному музыканту.
What*s the name of the pianist ?
If this is from his recital in Japan, it would be Hiroko Komoriya.
