Dreaming and Achieving
… with very “mixed” feelings. It’s cold, dull, aggressive, expensive, cold, cold, and cold. Bishkek is not for vegetarians and not for little kids.
On the other hand – Matt loves snow; BoonEx team is great and we love being close and personal; meeting with friends is awesome; and our old car is a pleasure to drive.
Get something, lose something.
I miss Sydney.

Some people just live their lives, some change the world, some create masterpieces, some create wars… and there’s one very special breed – those who connect us with God (or a Supreme Being of your choice). Every once in a while you meet them among strangers, or your friends, or celebrities. At some point you, yourself, can be one of them. It’s that feeling when you suddenly realize that every breath of yours is there for some reason, something very important… and then, your next breath is a breath of a better person.
Sting performed in Syndey Opera House with Edin Karamazov, promoting their album “Songs From the Labyrinth”. The unique chance to hear beautiful music of lute and the oh-so-beloved voice of Sting.
To give you some insight, a couple of quotes from today’s news (Sydney Morning Herald by Harriet Cunningham):
It is hard to believe that Sting has never played at the Sydney Opera House before. Platinum records, Grammys and Oscars, playing to 100,000 people, no sweat, but put him in the (relatively speaking) intimate confines of the Concert Hall and he looks slightly nervous. Loping on with the wonderfully nerdy lutenist Edin Karamazov, he sits down among a small forest of lutes and begins to sing.
John Dowland (1563-1626) was an English composer, singer and lutenist. His songs have a haunting quality that resonates with many musicians, not least Elvis Costello, but in the hands of Sting they have most certainly found a fine 21st-century home. Sting is part-singer, part-storyteller, immersing us in the turbulent 16th century before revisiting some old 20th-century songs.
and this one:
Karamazov, however, is the real inspiration here, an ideal straight man who crafts the intricate accompaniments with exquisite care and style.
Each of the two were the equal part of one – an inspiring spirit of beauty, born right there – on the scene of Sydney Opera House.
Sadly порно видео на cd , the day before the performance Jørn Utzon – the designer of Sydney Opera House passed way, at the age of 90. He’s one of those who blessed us with the chance to sit there, in the Concert Hall of one of the world’s most iconic and most beautiful theaters and listen to the tunes of archlutes. Thank you.
Surprisingly
, before Sting and Edin Karamazov we had an unexpected treat – special guests…
ZBG takes its name from the surnames of its three members: Allan Zavod, David Berlin and Slava Grigoryan. All three musicians are respected in their own right and their highly original music encompasses the diverse backgrounds of these three musicians, resulting in inimitable ‘soundscapes’ of classical/jazz fusion. The music is uplifting and emotive, consisting of dazzling technical feats, moments of pure melodic and harmonic beauty, which result from perfectly coordinated dynamics within the ensemble, underpinned by strict classical discipline contrasting with totally free jazz rhythms and improvisations.

These are the moments when I regret my English is not good enough to describe the feelings and emotions. Just… if you care… go back to the beginning of the post and read over.
We had the best seats possible, right in the middle – first row of the “circle” right behind the operators. We could feel like 16th century King and Queen, and we did.
What a day! Relaxing dinner before the performance and romantic walk right after, packed with warm ocean breeze and tender hand of the world’s most beautiful woman.
Thank you Sting. Thank you Edin. Thank you Jørn. Thank you ZBG. Thank you Julia. And thank you the Supreme Being of my choice.
Julia at home
