WHO IS YOUR BIGGEST MUSICAL INFLUENCE?
I think everyone I’ve met on my path has had some sort of influence on me. I’ve come across a great number of outstanding musicians who have helped me. I can clearly remember my very first teacher, the late Pyotr Danilovich Chavushian. He used to tell me to grab my towel and go practice. He meant that talent and inspiration weren’t enough: sometimes, one has to be patient and learn things over and over by heart — and the towel is needed to wipe the sweat from the forehead in the process!
WHAT DO YOU VALUE THE MOST IN WORKING WITH MUSICAETERNA?
The true life is the biggest value. Our work isn’t something static, it’s our life — as real as it can get. This is what I find the most appealing about it. I really like the idea about orchestra formation that I heard from my teacher (and someone I’m close to in spirit), Leonid Igorevich Lundstrom. He said a good conductor was a person who, through his orchestra, was able to transfer not his own thoughts but something “from above” to the audience. If this system works, then the real life happens. I believe musicAeterna is one of the few ensembles where it does work this way.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO CREATE?
My wife and my daughter. They support me and help me to stay cheerful.
DO YOU HAVE A DREAM?
Not a dream per se, but I do have goals. I believe, in fact, that one needs goals over dreams. At the moment, my goal is to record Georg Telemann’s 12 Fantasias for solo violin. I’ve already performed with this programme several times, and I hope to get down to recording pretty soon. What next? Time will tell.
