No matter how much I sing or listen to Verdi's Requiem, it's always a special experience. A work of genius! It is not just impressive – it "cleans" you, radically changes... Kazan has a very sensitive hall. And the musicians of the orchestra are very sensitive. The orchestra is wonderful! Alexander Sladkovsky and I studied together at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. I remember him as a student, but we got to know each other better when we were students...
