Yuri Bashmet and Igor Pylatyuk - We will invest culture Lviv, Lviv to understanding quality of music in the world, - says Yuri Bashmet. - When I first played with Yo-Yo Ma somewhere in Boston, and we were talking about the Lions, he told me - yes Lions same city four kingdoms! Was, but splyl. But he took all the nice properties of these kingdoms. I came to town, when I was 5 years old, where I graduated from high school, he studied music, and at age 18 he went to study in Moscow. I recently had a meeting with Putin, and he asked me - why Lviv? I think his hometown Lions, not growth, where I was born. Because here I have at the cemetery, the burial come mother, father and grandfather. Here I drank the first glass of wine, a first kiss a girl for the first time heard the "Beatles" ... And the teachers and students themselves Lviv enriched atmosphere. And talk about the musical mentality. This is the most important! In China and Korea already better than we are taught how to press the strings, but how to think! As live music - that's what we should think. Yuri Bashmet said that you can not rely on the fact that there is a significant result of such a study in a short time to see. - If we are patriots, we have to build! Children, young people need to see the future. We take students and give them what we can give. From what I've heard, the level of students is different, there are very skilled musicians. Bashmet gave an example of a student of the Academy - it heard she is now studying at the Central School of Music, she bought a violin. Her career has already begun. At the opening ceremony of the Youth Music Academy CIS rector of Lviv National Academy of Music (in the building where classes are held) Igor Pylatyuk said that happened in Lviv amalgamation of many cultures, including of course the Russian culture. Then he handed Bashmet flower basket. Governor of Lviv region reported that he is waiting for the birth of new musical stars of the Academy opened, and for a long time alone talking with Bashmet. - Judge said that classical music and politics do not mix. And now comes a time when politicians go to the art because they have to. Now is the time! - Smiles Bashmet. The famous violinist told a story about how the first time after a long absence and victories in international competitions came to the concert in the city. - I was very nervous. I had to go to people to listen to which and from which I learned. I go on stage, and I feel that his hands were shaking. And I see this picture. Pass goes through the room to the brother of my grandfather, will come on stage ", Yuri zdgastvuy!" And flops to his seat in the front row. Nightmare, awkward! But the stress away, as if by hand. The excitement was a flash. My father had Abram Borisovich free guest card Lviv Philharmonic, wore a suit, tie and regularly attended the concerts. And I'm on the phone on the travel diary ... And he calls me a different story, and we are at this moment with Nikita Mikhalkov roast barbecue, took only the first glass. I ask my father call later, and Nikita shows me gesture - giving, say, a tube. And he said unto his father a book for my son to write! It took one and a half years, and the book "Yuri Bashmet -. Edge of perfection" He found a musicologist, Irina Chernova story, the first part of the book is not dedicated to me! And the attempt to formulate Lviv mentality. What is a citizen of Lviv? Mind, culture, always a special independent opinion courtesy. Lions - the most beautiful city in the world!
