WHO OR WHAT HAS HAD THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON YOU, EITHER PERSONALLY OR MUSICALLY?
I believe every person we meet influences us in some way. I grew up in a family of pianists. My grandfather was a skilful singer. My grandmother was a very caring and noble person. Music has accompanied me since my early childhood; I performed together with my father at an early age. I gradually learned to improvise. My first violin teacher, Guriy Georgievich Vasilyev, certainly played a huge role in all that.
WHAT IS THE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF BEING A PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN?
Staying open-minded and being able to accept opinions that are different from your own or even seemingly impossible to understand.
IF YOU HAD TIME TO LEARN A NEW INSTRUMENT, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I can play the saxophone and the French horn at an amateur level. Sure enough, mastering any instrument takes a good few years.
WHAT PERFORMER DO YOU DREAM TO HEAR PLAY? WHAT CONCERT WOULD YOU LIKE THEM TO PLAY?
I would probably be more interested to witness other musicians’ home practice routines and study their workflow.
WHAT DO YOU VALUE THE MOST IN WORKING WITH MUSICAETERNA?
The opportunity to escape routine work. The constant search for new interpretations of musical texts. The diversity of the repertoire: the rotation of baroque, Romantic era and modern music ensures the freshness of each era’s perception.
