Viktor Tretyakov - Viktor, you said in the few interviews, the Stradivarius violin very moody: response to the weather and the mood. And what can you say about your Nicolo Gagliano violin? - Same - all old instruments such function, for all their merits, they react to the weather and humidity. But the little things even richer life. It gives me great pleasure Nicolo Gagliano violin. Although at one time I was playing on the Stradivari. On this I play violin in 1972 - already 41 years old. Fused particles me and her. Thank God, it always helps me, despite the vagaries. - Violinist Gidon Kremer, violin often change ... - I'm in this sense is rather conservative. No good deed goes unpunished. Those Stradivarius too different - there are violin sounds great, there are tools that sound good. Tool change in our time is not such a simple thing. Can you imagine how much Stradivarius ... - Viktor, you're taught in Cologne. Do you have students of the Russians? - Basically, I have the Russian students, that is, from the former Soviet Union.

In open areas, as well - the mass of the people. It come and lovers of the classics. Although only one percent of the world knows classical music. Not that he loves, and he knows it. Therefore, something must be done, otherwise the end - not classical music and spirituality ... - How to approach the choice of products for today's program? - Brahms and Bach is not closely related to Plato, but then Brahms and Bach - forever. These days, they sound, with a color and thoughts that resonate today. And the question of human existence - is the same as talking Andrei Platonov. It's all connected.
