easy shanghai these rejected the safety of well trodden paths evidently they mean nothing to him always searching for never arriving at his destination he's recognized that true beauty and safety are incompatible and that the name and such beauty is perhaps true. these are these were the words used by the late nicholas harnoncourt to describe option you don't create here you don't seem. off the books then for. having grown up in a totalitarian state in the soviet union i rarely allowed myself to believe in foreign troops. i wanted to find my own voice
11:17 am

11:18 am
this is me and this. this was that i feel the need to pass on everything i've experienced. or much of what inspires me this one keep this everything you give away is preserved and one shouldn't try to hold onto anything for oneself because then it dies stripped. put these at the accent i need you. and he. then all full force the essence of nothing me saw because of the acts and not just to speak at all. i'm not above it more that i'm from the outset like crime or art about ika 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
11:19 am
years and become a family. it was like this 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. us to love whether it's with good 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.
11:20 am
not only. in that of them thump thump thump along. the.
11:21 am
instinct of this couple to think that the raso was composed for tatyana and myself 40 years ago and yet it's lost none of its relevance. for us. and the so when it comes to composers generally believe in the principle of less is more because it just as with conductors that was the hot and the glows too wrapped up in themselves are big on show but low on content. a person who serves a cause is modest he's in the. nuts and he has his idea of how it should sound. how it can sound we meet in the middle but what's key is the composition is this book.
11:22 am
the salute to me during your lifetime is a gift. so you want to master it in a way that satisfies you both. i think one day will be gone but the composition will live on this one with the right to leave. the system for europe as the birds or the new features the circumstance. of a suitable series itself for a. moment from the still support. for the future.
11:23 am
my harris is special to me. for 25 years i called it home. and in 1901 we moved into our 1st apartment here in montana. at the time of course i didn't know that my youngest daughter gigi would be born here in paris. which is for pathak is a very important part of jeezy's life every time i come to paris i try to see her. first aha.
11:24 am
but. if we have a lot. of you know officers that like the. police looked in here it was harris has a very special connection with the arts where it's so vibrant so you feel very much at home in the city even if you don't live here would have wins it's 0 it's almost like yeah absolutely and. completely understand. that. this is a place believe this but it isn't it's fair. for hugo specific. if you.
11:25 am
think. the music coming as if in this film in music you can find a lot that makes life i wouldn't say easier but more beautiful and. just make sure you know it gives life deeper meaning and awakens emotion. but nowadays
11:26 am
it's. such things are often overlooked or gardasil burgas old. good music is. good music harbors a message and the boots are good performers convey that message to his will shift from little. one hopes my primary goal is to serve the composer. 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. you.
11:27 am
know that i've watched 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 and looks.
11:28 am
in the gulf when this is where i gave my 1st concert and where my parents played in the orchestra my grandfather taught at the conservatory here. and for other side to live in this focus i was my father's 2nd lease on life and after his entire family his 1st wife and child and 35 relatives died in the reagan ghetto. it's lifting them screw 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. as
11:29 am
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 decision to also. eat. shit. load. losing him the whole of the guns of my life began in this court yard so to speak it's always us and enjoyed being here and home with my grandparents. because
11:30 am
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 in the link and this green slope in winter it was a wonderful place for sledding and snowball fights. everything was lovely here it's a way from my father's incessant pressure to practice practice practice fun called the funding sting the move in from fatah. just came up in full force at the end of that no matter how much progress i made followed that 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. well for the over the years the decades i've remained slightly traumatized by that pressure even today i always
11:31 am
believe i could be better than i am that's it's just. music. there is still a splinter of the wounded child deep within me still a 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 he lets the. thoughts in young always mine the one which looked at the age of 18 i left my home
11:32 am
town of brega from moscow. i lived here for 15 years. and here at the tchaikovsky conservatory the great oyster 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. are there are.
11:33 am
you all over. you all over. the that's why in the world of it was a wonderfully creative atmosphere where you immersed yourself in the music so as to avoid other unpleasant things i did learn from them instead of going to meetings you studied a new score and this 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 in are freedom of the. press and the. newsom's on how to harness up to speed and everything took place in this hall not just my student mine the incredibly prominent artists performed concerts and world
11:34 am
premieres were staged here. in the music and i remember the world premiere of shostakovich isn't so the 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. in the sun and it was a great time and it's a time of great not only artists and performers but also professor says what. i'm supposed to do was common my at the end of my studies in one of the master ice talk came to my concert the mute and afterwards he said something remarkable 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 against the law and when people you worship or admire trust any of those thing it gives you wings to fly the same thing if luger. us off the losing team it's.
11:35 am
literally like yeah you really. look up and give us a. sense to get this stuff we never took those of us from the consumer demand. for the museum of ideas and just looking forward to what they should and shouldn't should meet as a broad smile someone was acoustics the 1st story i would move through a book is just the civilian national loop it was christmas but. yet the full justice of.
11:36 am
that was just trust me this is what's going to talk. her. good.
11:37 am
i think you also salute the ulster but when i am a grated from the soviet union i was looking for the freedom that the world was willing to offer me this truth that i found 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
11:38 am
reasons were ideological now the commercial business basically not much different there's always pressure i've learned to live with the pressure. that i don't give up so easily when i believe in something that i often it will slow there was a lot of them was quite fresh and some like it but as i'm going around them to get this right. you know her sister. who was of the sun and the stove so suddenly.
11:39 am
it's just so. i. love the league. says. the old. oh ok.
11:40 am
josh i think that in. any. minute yes to my 1st born daughter is a journalist. if 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. yeah. until imperial is you know which room isn't.
11:41 am
smooth the image so it's the super bowl when you do that is it 10 years old. you don't get moved because it was and i think. so is that the person that was and that's why there's so many things because i think that one of. those me about the millions that you know on that one no. legal aid that's. the same. there. in the.
11:42 am
music certainly has an ascetic function and good for the. music also has an ethical function as it's why i'm going now to a moscow theater who's 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 and state to make a statement of this was and the guy 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.
11:43 am
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. thank you once in the can this isn't good enough and these pictures we can connect to people we never knew but who speak to us and the music echoes that experience.
11:44 am
in a. problem that. film institute's fine young and. we met 2 years ago in dresden when he was the soloist and go by did you know his offertory. i asked him you don't. do you perform with my orchestra in moscow. i mean it's really 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 feeling strongly lucky to have enlisted a musician if you don't stature it's a real treat for the audience in moscow would feel moscow political. mysterious i.
11:45 am
got it yes he said you film school even though. you shoot the sets is what you achieved yeah. but i think that yes yes yes. you don't credit for.
11:46 am
that. if.
11:47 am
he. does go 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 as if it were divine inspiration. but that's really how it felt it's incredibly exciting to listen to him play and to perform with it.
11:48 am
theo .
11:49 am
thank you very much minister. i've got a question about 30 percent since completion of. the puzzle in this the most corrupt public insurance program of the. finish for something. like this but i suppose i see the doubling of us troops. should. be confined to. the ships the. solutions the severity of. the constraints of the life of an itinerant artist is more of a curse than a gift. because you don't have a home or hardly have a home to call especially if you're successful. you adapt but
11:50 am
it's unnatural and i suffer from and through the wind it's like good little into. standing and i'm sleeping in a different bed all the time is taxing physical discomfort that i wouldn't wish on anyone. but you learn to live with it so the. what choice do you have.
11:51 am
to. eat. food from no one on japan fascinates me because i'm captivated by this country sue and with the way it upholds so many of its traditions and slow 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 that's if you'd be hard pressed to find such a culture of respect anywhere else in the world. but you still could if you. thank you for that.
11:52 am
thank. you.
11:53 am
tom and chuck find it very hard to simply relax and i could use a few relaxation master classes because the pressure is always mounting on but my strength is abating. lots of dogs love nowadays every young artist believes that when they're in demand they have to perform every day 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
11:54 am
audience's pleasure why am i even pursuing this profession does the hulk all just. plain . nuts. let's. play cut cut. cut cut cut cut

11:56 am
i. mean. again. to thank you. 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 the thing that's what 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 gone looting.
