Tatarstan National Symphony orchestra plays on a very professional level!!! It’s like a huge engine in which all is harmoniously. Today it’s one of the best orchestras. Sound, timbre are wonderful!!!

I came to Kazan for the first time when I was 12-13 years old.Mstislav Rostropovich brought us, young musicians, as part of a tour of the Volga cities. I still remember the hall as very good. Both acoustically and the piano were beautiful. But now, on this visit, I simply admire your orchestra and conductor Alexander Sladkovsky! This orchestra has become one of the best in the country!

I am so delighted to The Tatarstan National Symphony Orchestra and the maestro SLADKOVSKIY for the excellent cooperation! I am in awe! I hope soon to meet again to sing and conduct.

I worked very well with your musicians. They love music, which is a rarity for orchestral musicians. I was struck by the huge composition... The orchestra's sound is very Russian. You can't argue with that. Very powerful, vibrato, three-dimensional, large-scale. Imperial...

I know the story of creation of the Orchestra from Nazib Zhiganov. In Rakhlin times the Orchestra was at its best. Now it is excellent again. I'm happy that the Orchestra players get good salary, changed their attitude to the profession, and grew professionally. There are lots of new festivals, many leading artists come to perform, the Concert Hall is sold out. We have it thanks to the Orchestra and its Artistic Director and Principal Conductor - Alexander Sladkovsky. I wish the Orchestra new programmes and new discoveries!

The orchestra made a qualitative leap, believed in themselves. Stars are stars, but gradually the orchestra converts into the star itself. There was little confidence in the miracle, but it happened, moreover, all understood that it’s not wonder but the result of purposeful labor, the right chosen strategy and it’s not gods who make pots. Of course, it’s also the result of Kazan huge intellectual potential, Kazan «art gin» which was bent, bent but it wasn’t bent and now it has broken away, gradually becoming straight in its world height. On the whole, I can only say Bravo...

We have heard a lot about the orchestra from Tatarstan from Boris Berezovsky, Alexander Knyazev, and other soloists who performed with him and who come to our festival. After listening to the recordings, we invited the musicians and Maestro Sladkovsky to Tokyo. I am very interested in this team! The famous pianist MiCHi Koyama, who performed here with your orchestra, highly appreciated it. Tatarstan National Symphony Orchestra-opening for Japan, on...

I can say that the orchestra is wonderful. I knew Maestro Sladkovsky before arrival here. The only thing is the weather. It’s a bit sad, but if the sun lives in your heart, you can share this sun with the others. On the whole, I’m pleased. Thanks Kazan!

v I really enjoyed working with the orchestra of the Tatarstan Republic. The highest level!!! I know that they work very hard, I know that from my rehearsal they ran to the rehearsal of the concert with Placido Domingo, and despite this they worked very responsibly, the relationship was not careless. The most friendly attitude of the musicians! When they shouted " Bravo!"I almost cried. I have friends in this orchestra who remember...

Art communication and performance with Tatarstan National Symphony orchestra on the festival «Concordia» gave me true pleasure. The orchestra absolutely changed. Such real star level of mastery performance, quality and quantity of programmes was achieved for such short time. From my point of view, the orchestra has great perspectives for further rising. I wish the musicians of the orchestra and their principal conductor Alexander Sladkovsky much strength and energy on this thorny path, and also entering on new art orbits and conquering new musical galaxies. As the ancients said «Per aspera...
