• After listening to Alexander Boldachev, I say that I have been very impressed with his great temperament. Being so young, Sasha has already a very strong technique and a beautiful musicality that make him live deeply his music. I haven't doubt that he will be one of the great musicians of tomorrow and I wish him all the best success.
