Rodgers\, The Hardwick Gazette\n\n&ldquo\;&hellip\; musicians who are also artists.&rdquo\;\n-The Armenian Weekly\n\n&ldquo\;S tring Shift &ndash\; Pretty much nothing sounds better to us right now tha n the idea of sitting in a Parisian night-club\, sipping a vermouth cassis \, and taking in a show by Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt and his Q uintette du Hot Club de France. But since that's never going to happen (un less some enterprising mad scientist decides to put together the &ldquo\;M y First Time Machine&rdquo\; kit that Santa brought) we'll settle for the next best option: a performance by violinist Emil Altschuler and guitarist Jé\;rô\;me Mouffe on guitar. They'll be laying down their take s on classical works\, Spanish folk music\, and mountain songs at Hunneman Hall in the Brookline Public Library. (Speaking of mountain songs: if you like a little modern-day gothic freak mixed into your folk music\, head t o Myspace to hear Altschuler's terrifying\, lurching\, American primitive- style cover of Primus's &ldquo\;Over the Falls&rdquo\; with his side proje ct Ill Brutto.)&rdquo\;\n-Shaula Clark\, The Boston Phoenix\, Editor's Pic ks\n\n&ldquo\;Altschuler and Mouffe's performance of Piazzolla at the Gard ner was the highlight of the evening\; their playing combined the sensuali ty\, elegance\, and edginess balanced with refinement that make Piazzolla' s music so beautiful.&rdquo\;\n-Peyman Farzinpour\, Music Director and Con ductor of the Waltham Philharmonic Orchestra\n\n---\n\n\nArtem Belogurov\n Artem Belogurov's lively and expressive performances delight audiences in the US and Europe.
