  This is a very experienced and wise human being and  musician!  I'm 57 now and I went to music conservatory when I was young and I received my diploma. I felt always underrated and my teachers didn't detect and see my abilities. I felt a lot of frustration and than I went to Medical School afterwards. Today I'm a qualified general surgeon and suddenly I can perform Brahms Paganini- variations, Goldberg- variations or Petrouchka by Stravinsky . Even if I didn' t touch the keys for more than 10 years and since that time only from time to time and not that much. But it works. Listening to this great musician, I appreciate that he also respects the "small career ". And that's what I've got in the autumn of my life. Without audience because I'm to shy. But I still can play whatever my desire is because I myself feel like a slave of arts....Thank you maestro Ashkenazy!

  Despite the amateurish video footage I found this interview with Ashkenazy fascinating. Many of this modest mans thoughts and observations are so true and enlightening.

  Qué interesante escuchar a Vladimir Ashkenazy. Muy buenos consejos y muy honesto. Así que siempre destacó en todas las asignaturas. Su capacidad de concentración debe de ser extraordinaria. De pequeño tenía muchísimas grabaciones suyas y descubrí muchas obras con él. Qué pena no haberle visto en vivo.

  Thanks a lot for the video! Great interview, but a terrible video thumbnail, if I may say so. That thumbnail makes Ashkenazy look evil; almost demonic! 😱<br><br>I&apos;ve interviewed Ashkenazy myself many years ago, and I can tell you that he is one of the nicest musicians I have ever met. Maybe you could change the thumbnail? Ashkenazy deserves better.😇

  How <i>lovely</i> to end with the comment, “One of the best stories of all time!” when it was cut off and we didn’t get to hear it. &nbsp;&lt;biting sarcasm&gt; &nbsp; And is it possible to have anyone more pompous as an interviewer than Dubai?? &nbsp;You’d think <i>he</i> was the musical genius who condescended to ask his questions, which were so awkward and meant to somehow elevate him over Ashkenazy.
