easy shanghaied he has rejected the safety of well trodden paths evidently they mean nothing to him he always searching for never arriving at his destination he's recognized that true beauty and safety are incompatible and that the name of such beauty is perhaps by truth. these are these were the words used by the late nicholas harnoncourt to describe option good don't crema you don't frame. all the books and then put them in stuff yes and having grown up in a totalitarian state in the soviet union i rarely allowed myself to believe in foreign truths. i wanted to find my own voice.

my 6 sons are good so my fate was decided before i was even born as i am a child of an entire dynasty of violinists. but at 70 every day of life is precious i am reminded of my great master davida or stock one of the most important violinists of our time. live.

this is me and this this was it i feel the need to pass on everything i've experienced. or much of what inspires me this was one this everything you give away is preserved and one shouldn't try to hold onto anything for oneself because then it dawns stripped. what is it the roxanne tiny deal if it is new. and delete the old feel for the accents of not me saw because of the x. and not just to speak at all. i'm not a bloody word to them from the outset like. served as an instrument to pass these things on you i wanted to do something for the youth of the baltic states which i know so well that i was so inspired by these friendly faces and minds and so it's

transpired that we've been together for more than 20 years and become a family. was it is the most soon music is emotion as music is something in which we express our life experiences our feelings our own discoveries from. them and the basis of any discourse on music with another individual is openness. of all from. exists whether it's with by doing or with arvo every collaboration is mutually enriching that is true and that's when it's enriching to sense that one is searching for the common denominator for why this music was written or the reason it should be played its message.

in the. game. along.

listening to this double i think that a raso was composed for tatyana and myself 40 years ago and yet it's lost none of its relevance. for us. and that's when it comes to composers that side generally believe in the principle of less is more is that just as with conductors but misses the lows too wrapped up in themselves are big on show but low on content a person who serves a cause is modest especially in the. not so he has his idea of how it should sound. how it can sound in the middle but what's key is the composition is this book.

none of the sleeps during your life times is a gift. so you want to master it in a way that satisfies you both. one day will be gone but the composition will live on with. the system for books that were purchased for the infrastructure of the state. of the suitable sees itself the. moment just.

for the features. my harris is special to me. for 25 years i called it home. office and in 1901 we moved into our 1st apartment here in montana. at the time of course i didn't know that my youngest daughters would be born here in paris is home. which is for pataki is a very important part of gigi's life. every time i come to paris i try to see her. first i hop.

is a young fellow. that. you know this or that i'm just. a policeman and it was harris has a very special connection with the arts well it's so vibrant you feel very much at home in the city even if you don't live here would've wins it's zia it's almost like actually. has been from a small number of. murders from the simplest please let's put it. this is. where he was this person. thank you.

thank you thank you thank you. thank. you. the music commands if in this film in music you can find a lie. that makes life i wouldn't say easier but more the beautiful and. the sure no it gives life deeper meaning and awakens emotion. but nowadays

such things are often overlooked or so gardasil burgas old. good music is still good music harbors a message and the roots are good performers convey that message and that it is will serve for little. one hopes my primary goal is to serve the composer. if you and i want to evoke emotions. for i want to be a mediator let's say to bring the music to life make it palpable. and allow it to move anyone who is open to listening.

to your friends from high still feel very attached to my hometown rica i love the smell of the sea the fresh baltic air the memories of my childhood this is where i grew up.

in the gulf is one this is where i get my 1st concert and where my parents played in the orchestra my grandfather taught at the conservatory here please. and for the side to lean on this one as i was my father's 2nd lease on life after his entire family his 1st wife and child and 35 relatives died in the reagan ghetto . i was 53 then the he later forged a 2nd life for himself as a refugee on this and i was so to speak the product of that 2nd life in which he invested all his wishes and dreams the moments as

a child i was burdened by his retelling of that terrible story over and over again i wanted to talk him out of it but of course i couldn't talk him out of it the deceased also didn't. eat. shit. oh. listen to the whole thing john this is my life began in this court yard so to speak it's always us and i enjoyed being here and home with my grandparents. because

grandparents allow you to be what you really are a child that's itself this is the balcony of the apartment so where is it. there the one with the little bird house stuck there and this green slope in winter it was a wonderful place for sledding and snowball fights. everything was lovely here if away from my father's incessant pressure to practice practice practice fun called the funding standing in the phone far. less. fortunate to get no matter how much progress i made. no matter how much i accomplished it was never enough it was always you can do better you have to do better you have to do with this you have to be 10 times better than the others. over the years the decades i've remained slightly traumatized by that pressure even

today i always believe i could be better than i am can that's a historic with. me as if there is still a splinter of the wounded child deep within me. the child whose accomplishments were all too often dismissed with the phrase you can do better it's a shard of dissatisfaction with everything i've accomplished even with the lights the.

limited at the age of 18 i left my home town of brega from moscow. i lived here for 15 years. and here at the tchaikovsky conservatory the great oyster off became my most influential teacher received. this from we thought it was normal it was only in hindsight that we understood how fortunate we didn't to be surrounded by such towering musical giants. there are.

the. new all of. you all over. the that's why in the book about it it was a wonderfully creative atmosphere where you immersed yourself in the music so as to avoid other unpleasant thing like in the month from home instead of going to meetings you studied a new score and the borrowed a record that wasn't available in the shops for you when you escaped every day life by busying yourself with the things that mattered. on the one hand you were under great pressure and faced severe restrictions on the other hand you were constantly searching for inner freedom in that and for a. place in the. newsom's on this up just being everything took place in this hall not just my student mine

the incredibly prominent artists performed concerts and world premieres were staged here. in the me and i remember the world premiere of shostakovich is so 15th symphony. and then when i performed as a soloist in the concert at. the tchaikovsky competition also took place in this hall which i was lucky enough to win. when the saw and it was a great time and it's a time of great not only artists and performers but also professors it's one of the students common my at the end of my studies and learn from master i stock came to my concert i mean and afterwards he said something remarkable you don't get on he said i would never do what you're doing but you're right and you must go your own way was that he allowed me to believe in myself and convinced and when people you worship or admire trust in you think it gives you wings to fly. if luger. as not to lose your tickets for

a little visit your likelihood of losing you i think. you. do get to sleep. closer to us and it can seem to me. if i get a little undone would go forward here but they should change for me it is overall small someone's acoustic stupor story on with nuclear book or just this is good enough for christmas but. yet the full just into.

the atmosphere is much more of this is what's going to talk. her.

i think you also saw it in you about when i am a grated from the soviet union i was looking for the freedom that the world was willing to offer me the street style and life in moscow hard so i was denied permission to leave for concerts song there were restrictions placed on my repertoire. i couldn't always play the music i wanted to play which incidentally

also happens today now and again the months in the back in the soviet union the reasons were ideological now they're commercial listeners basically not much different there's always pressure i've learned to live with the pressure. and i don't give up so easily when i believe in something that i often when i tell sloman you know what there's a lot of them are quite special some like it better than that announcement that he did this threatening to expose. the closest thing. to those of the sun and those still so 6 6 6 6 6.

it's just so. wrong the legal. system. the old. us.

to watch and think that in the. only. concept. of money yes to my firstborn daughter is a journalist. because we talk and argue about a lot of things together. but we also have valuable discussions and very often i feel that she's a pillar of support for example when i'm writing. you know. you have. jill invariable because you know which room is the.

smoothing the so it's the super bowl as well you know is it 10 years old little. freedom good movie because it was and i didn't duck so is that the casinos and that's why you saw me in this because the thing is that one and it was me able to move. in on that one though. you know. in the status of music certainly has an ascetic function. for.

music also has an ethical function as its why i am going now to a moscow theater director has been arrested on charges of investment. as an outsider and i like many others do not believe the legal proceedings are fair and that's why i am going to the theater and performing a concert to benefit the center of state to make a statement of this was and yes that's all i want with a violin with my project to adapt the cello preludes. back to the violin it's a statement.

suddenly i had this idea to combine the music with photographs because i wanted to transfer the experience of this music into a parallel world. and then i was inspired by the pictures of. a photographer and a composer who experienced the same period of life in the soviet union in different ways. a leap. thanks in the can do some good and these pictures we can connect to people we never knew but who speak to us and the music echoes that experience.

and. the. problem with. this instance finally on the internet is neutral voice we met 2 years ago in dresden when he was the soloist and go by to nose offertory of. i ask him you don't. perform with my orchestra in moscow. minister lee he was hesitant particularly given the political situation. i told him we'd have to play something unconventional. and then he suggested vine back and forth. with felix truly lucky to have enlisted a musician no you don't stature it's a real treat for the audience in moscow when your moscow public alfred missed us i

guess. that's it yes he said his film for even though. he says is what you get your chances yeah. but i think that yes yes yes. so. you don't. like that you're asking.

me for this fine he's for when i came on stage i felt this was history in the making the house was full to the rafters. and the audience really clung to every note of faith as if it were divine inspiration. but that's really how it felt this incredibly exciting to listen to him play and to perform with him.

theme .

thanks from surprise with the mistress of the world is a better person so it's confused me. so i miss the most public and should. finish something to the. police but i suppose i see. somebody just because. of the system. because you can't. use with your mixed emotions the. highs and the constraints of the life of an itinerant artist is more of a curse than a gift just because you don't have a home or hardly have a home to call specially if you're successful. you adapt but

it's unnatural and i suffer from and that's where the wind is like the old. standard and i'm sleeping in a different bed all the time is taxing the physical discomfort that i wouldn't wish on anyone. over. money but you learn to live with it so the. what choice do you have.

your. soonest fun enough on japan fascinates me because i'm captivated by this country sue and the way it upholds so many of its traditions from small remaining so welcoming. in all its offensive position and has really assumed a special place in my heart over the course of almost 40 visits of us and from this the atmosphere is permeated by an incredible sense of respect for everyone and see if you'd be hard pressed to find such a culture of respect anywhere else in the world. but you still couldn't. getting

anything else. thanks. for. your.

time and shock find it very hard to simply relax and i could use a few relaxation master classes because the pressure is always mounting ston but my strength is abating. yeah lots of luck nowadays every young artist believes that when they're in demand they have to perform every day like serve up something new every day but that's a waste of talent they no longer take the time to reflect or grasp the essence of a composition because there's hardly any time to contemplate such questions as what am i doing here why am i here am i only here for my own. pleasure for the

audience's pleasure why am i even pursuing this profession these days the bill from the hall call this. place. the to. cut. cut

cut. cut. cut cut cut cut cut cut. cut cut. cut cut. cut cut. cut.

i mean. mean. for the thank you notes of finally i thank my nearly 400 year old amati violin which so wonderfully personifies the concept of love. music does not tolerate hatred instead it awakens strength and hope that's what's so precious about music. this is the it's what lends us hope that the world and its people will not fall prey to madness and mad men. and bomb the moon.
