started to perform regular recitals and also to perform as a
soloist with the symphony orchestras of Novosibirsk, Moscow,
Nizhni Novgorod and Samara.
In 1975 Bezrodny entered Moscow State Conservatoire in the class
of Professor Eugene Malinin. When a student, he showed interest
not only in solo activity, but also in chamber music. Bezrodny
was a long time partner with his father, accompanying him with
violin sonatas. The first of such concerts took place in 1974
in the "Athenaeum" hall in
Bucharest. Then they had joint performances in West Berlin,
Helsinki, Moscow and other cities. At that very time Bezrodny

S. Dixjours, organist and harpsichord player. In 1980 Bezrodny
graduated from Moscow State Conservatoire with full honours
and then became a postgraduate student in the class of Professor
S. Dorensky.

the baroque era.

Spivakov all over the world. Audiences in all the major concert
halls of Europe and the USA known to music lovers have applauded
