Famous violist promised that if someone writes for him to work and it will be interesting, it will play in the first place. For the first time in the festival Bashmet in Khabarovsk was a concert in another city region - Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Yuri Bashmet and that his impressions: - I was impressed by the huge crowd in the city. Was an incredible buzz, no free space, and before the show - press conference, which happens only at festivals. And it was warm. The meeting was so warm that I changed the program and played the whole quintet by Brahms. Instead of the 15 minutes played all Department. By the way, then a meeting with reporters that this city. In my chair at the Moscow Conservatory, three students It's what we all know - Ira SOPs. After the concert, 12-13-year-old girl came to ask for an autograph. I ask them where they play. They say - guitar, piano and vocals. Other - violin and vocals. It was found that all. Four, in addition to the instrument, and learn more vocal They all want to achieve something quite like this. They did not have tickets, we put them on the chairs on the stage.

And it is a student of journalism faculty question is: Why am I left the guitar and started to play the viola. This is prepared. There, people behave differently lead. They say: They all shake hands, and I want to kiss you! - Is this phrase, "In Khabarovsk, the Composers' is Union, and composers do not." Was not thought to result in regional festivals works by local authors? - This is a difficult question. Bright idea, of course, but if the music is not absolute, then it makes no sense. A credible authors. Incidentally, I have asked three times in Komsomolsk our students to learn from you in Moscow, you can use the next time around they heard in concert, because it would be happy for us and the event? And may raise the question. And I for one do not, composer of the Khabarovsk region. It happens that someone to write a piece for me.

If someone writes, and it will be interesting - it would be the first thing I've learned to be. - It is true that about 60 works written especially for you? - Written more than 50 concerts for me, ten of them I can play anytime.
