Arkatov Productions was founded by Salome Ramras Arkatov to raise awareness of the legendary pianist and master teacher Rosina Lhevinne and how she became a living link to the 19th century “Old Russian School” of piano. She transmitted that tradition to generations of pianist and some of the 20th century's great musicians. Mme. Lhevinne’s career as a teacher and concert artist flourished from age 65
to 96; her compelling story is told in the prize-winning documentary film,
The Legacy of Rosina Lhevinne.

The documentary film that followed, Memories of John Browning: the Lhevinne Legacy Continues, traces the continuation of Mme. Lhevinne’s Russian tradition through her illustrious student, John Browning. Hailed by New York critics as “one of the giants of the keyboard,” Browning deeply influenced yet another generation of gifted pianists. This touching portrait of John Browning vividly illustrates the transference of Rosina Lhevinne’s tradition and legacy into the 20th century
and into our own time.
