Despite the complexity of the program, maestro Sladkovsky brilliantly embodied the complex musical piece and felt the dramatic character of this music. Your orchestra sounds really great!! I am impressed by how the orchestra carefully refer to the sound, how the musicians listen to the maestro and do all that he requires from them. I touched by the incredible musicianship of the orchestra and the maestro himself.

I think the Kazan audience has witnessed the work of what is truly an impeccable, top-notch team. Organizing all those festivals is a great undertaking initiated by Sladovsky. The orchestral group must be putting a lot of effort into it but you can see that the spirits of the people on the team are high. The orchestra’s fame has spread far beyond the Republic of Tatarstan and even Russia. I am veritably glad for the orchestra and the Kazan people.

I was struck by the special relationship between conductor Alexander Sladkovsky and the orchestra. Both sides support and inspire each other. They are United by a love of Work. Today, such a Union is very rare. Sasha did a tremendous job! The orchestra is on the rise. I think this is one of the best groups not only in Russia, the State Symphony orchestra of Tatarstan is worthy of the world stage.

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...

Vadim RepinVadim RepinI once again flew to Kazan on the wings of delight and love, because last time the orchestra literally shocked me with its level, mobility, and attitude. Alexander Sladkovsky struck me that from the first minute we had the same dialogue as behind the stage. Understanding and friendship on stage is very important for me to be able to create. I am interested and important in the dialogue on stage. The orchestra amazes me with its dedication, readiness, and mobility. Musicians feel and react before we finish a sentence. It's a pleasure to work with such an orchestra!

I really liked the state Symphony orchestra of Tatarstan! I have worked with almost all bands in our country and I believe that this orchestra is among the top five in Russia. I'm talking about Moscow and St. Petersburg. Very cool! I am simply delighted with the orchestra. I told its chief conductor, Alexander Sladkovsky, about this.

The Tatarstan National Symphony Orchestra is a unique ensemble; its energy is already famous in Moscow and in St. Petersburg. It is a great honor for me to take part in the CONCORDIA festival, thanks to Alexander Vitalievich Sladkovsky for the invitation.

I hope to keep my relations with this brilliant orchestra. It is always like being in a resort for me to work with Alexander Sladkovsky. He is a musician with a capital letter M! He understands singers instantly. It was a marvelous concert. I think, luck was on my side tonight!!!

Thank you for the wonderful emotions, inspiration and fantastic sound! Further successful projects! Thank You, Maestro!

I was very glad to play with your orchestra. The orchestra under Sladkovsky unbelievably changed in a better way in all attitudes. Up to you meetings.
