Playing both parts of Don Juan

Violinist Oleg Pokhanovski of the University of Manitoba accompanies himself on piano in Richard Strauss’s suite.

He says: When you watch this performance of Richard Strauss’s Don Juan, you witness more than a technical feat; you see the fulfillment of a lifelong musical journey. The violin and piano have always been two halves of the same soul for me. Playing both parts of my own transcription is not a mere gimmick but the truest way I can present this music—a world I’ve inhabited, explored deeply, taken apart, and reconstructed note by note.
