I’m a musician due to my parents. It often happens that children from non-musical families come to music schools: if the parents are musicians themselves, they realize what a complex and somewhat controversial occupation that is, so they try to make their children go a different way. On the other hand, non-musical parents are enchanted by the romantic image of a musician as a member of the intellectual elite.
I loved singing as a child, and I adored anything I heard: 90s’ hits, songs from Soviet movies, bard songs that my father sang while playing the guitar. Nobody thought I’d become a musician when they brought me to music school. Like many other children, I started with playing the recorder. At music school concerts, I first got acquainted with the world of classical music, and I was particularly impressed by J.S. Bach’s works. I once asked my parents to buy me a recording of the Toccata and Fugue in D-Minor which I had heard at a concert; they bought me a CD where the piece was played by organist Lionel Rogg. I was absolutely struck by it and listened to the recording every day: Bach’s music combined with the sound of the organ was a colossal discovery for me! I still have the CD to this day. Ever since then, Bach’s music has been my model of unreachable beauty, power, originality, wit and intelligence. I soon began showing good progress in solfège, and my wonderful teacher — Olga Nikolaevna Neklyudova — drew my parents’ attention to that. She convinced my mother to take me to the teachers at the Gnessin school, which she did. And that’s how my professional journey began.
