We met Alexander Sladkovsky when I was still studying at the conservatory, while he was still a young conductor. Our creative union was formed after the first joint performance and now we are only increasing the number of joint concerts. Especially, this concerns the Crescendo festival, where I constantly perform together with the TNSO under the direction of maestro Sladkovsky. Alexander Sladkovsky is the only conductor with whom you can sit down and run the entire program in one rehearsal. He is a very sensitive accompanist; it is comfortable to work with him. His musical intuition is amazing; he is very sensitive to his orchestra, completely giving himself to the collective. Moreover, it is immediately clear that such dedication is mutual. Over the years of leadership of the Sladkovsky TNSO has become a serious and respected brand - the pride of the Republic.
