You're wrong, Martin; I read this post by you and find it fascinating! You had a once in a lifetime opportunity of meeting a world renowned composer and nobody will ever be able to take that away from you. Congratulations indeed. :trp: wkThis group is weird...
I love Russian music.
I went to Moscow twice. In 1970 I went to the Glinka museum and met Shostakovich's sister in law...Finally I met Dmitri Shostakovich and had a cup of tea with him. He was very polite but sick. I was 17 years old. We spoke about many things...He asked me what was the thing I preferred, I said Katerina Izmailova...He told me "good choice...me too, I love this opera."...He was charming, his English was not very good and my Russian was very poor, actually it is better, I'm studying Russian.
I know nobody will read this.
