We wanted to see another Tchaikovsky – not the usual and known by heart by soloists and audience, but the Tchaikovsky who ends Eugene Onegin in Sanremo, and begins The Queen of Spades in Florence. And the one who goes to America to open Carnegie Hall. I would like to see not just a portrait on the wall in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatoire, not an anniversary profile on a Soviet coin and postage stamp, but a living person – not quite familiar, but fantastically sincere and absolutely brilliant…
