In the orchestra since 2004
Each professional musician’s story always starts with love towards music. Later on, they feel the need not only to express their own emotions through music, but also to understand the composer’s original message. Discovering this world of music-related data feels like going into outer space. It is up to you to decide whether you want to stay. The decision will come naturally.
To play the bassoon well, you need a certain reed. This is one of the main challenges of playing the bassoon: not everything depends on the skill of the musician and his mastery of the instrument, 70% of the sound depends on the reed. I've put a lot of years and effort into finding the right sound and the right reeds. Now I have a reed workshop at home. On vacation, I prepare material for the entire working season — reeds are made of bulrush. I sit down at eleven o'clock in the evening and can work until four in the morning: tie, soak, cut, dry. I take ten reeds with me on tour and just before the concert I select the right one: for Sochi it's this, for Dubai — that. Reeds reshape, react to the climate, and wear out.
