Яркую и полную сюрпризов программу представим завтра, действительно.....

We will present a bright and full of surprises program tomorrow, really ..

In fact, for various reasons, it so happened that tomorrow we will repeat a significant part of what we have already played. There will be several new songs, including "Tosca", which I adore - finally, in the Beethoven Hall. In the summer, Anna Grishina and I managed to shift it very nicely. Well, I like it. 8)

There will be another very important issue for me - “Outside the Window”, written by Victor Osadchev and which is actually No. 17 in the soundtrack to the film “Grail”, which has already been shot and, hopefully, will be released soon. Once, together with the guys from Gosorkestr, I recorded this soundtrack, and the solyaga written by Viktor liked me so much that I walked and walked for several years, and then I took it and asked him to arrange an arrangement for a quartet of cellos. It turned out great. Behind the piano will be Anna Grishina. Vitya himself will not be able to come - but we will send him a record. 8)

From novy there will be still very cool "Billy Jean" ..

But in general, this concert in my head is, first of all, a farewell to the program, which once was fixed at my idea level, code-named "4cellos". It would be necessary to play something else from Kuznetsov tomorrow, whose suites for the quartet of cello I do not lose hope of recording. But tomorrow Kuznetsov will not be. Although excellent Russian music .. It is strange that the great and powerful (no kidding!) Kirill Kravtsov says that there is no original music for this composition. Here ..

One way or another, tomorrow there will be a certain debriefing. I don’t know why it seems so to me - I just have some sense of a point in connection with this concert. Then there will be other concerts, other programs and, probably, new wonderful people. But for now, I would like to say a huge thank you to my colleagues in the Quartet of cellos - Vladimir Streltsov, Arseny Beznosikov, Stepan Khudyakov (Stepan Khudiakov). You are excellent, very dear, and without you there would be nothing at all. You are the foundation, and thanks for that.

My cheerful and creative friend Andrei Rudometkin - thank you for introducing me to Alexei Bazhalkin, Alexey Marutaev and Sergey Bobchenkov. In this regard, I am very grateful to Nikita Sukhikh - who helped us to arrange our friendship in sounds as few people could. And Sergey Bobchenkov - because he so famously supported such a roster, being himself an excellent player.

Thanks to Oleg Samoilov and Konstantin Semenov for unselfish support and the joy of playing together.

And many thanks to our colleagues - Viacheslav Chukhnov (Viacheslav Chukhnov) (he will play tomorrow, among other things 8)), Anna Skrivanek,

And also - Anastasia Petrova, Grigory Philipchenko, Gagik Makichyan, Rostislav Balciunas, Dmitry Maximov, Dmitry Prischepa, thanks for playing together and such an excellent game within this program. Thanks to you, I understood some very important and useful things for me.

It seems to have forgotten someone. Do not be offended - I will add. ;)

In the meantime, see you tomorrow and light it up. Finish one story and begin to come up with a new one .. 8)

Here, as an option, “Who Threw the Whiskey in the Well” may sound, and I say this against the background of a rustling radio wave: “So, from all of us in 4cellos to all of you, wherever you are - remember: the light at the end of the tunnel may be you. Good night. "
