    It was one of your deepest interviews... I actually didn´t expect such deep thoughts from a young singer! He sees everything so realistic and clear, it is so easy to understand how he lives his life as an artist and how he feels about singing. There are artists who talk and talk and I cannot understand a single word because they are so far from real life.... 😃 It is not necessary, even when you are an artist. I think you can remain an artist with "high" thoughts and still a normal person with down-to-earth thoughts. It is one of my favourites of your videos though I have never heard about this young man before!

    I am always so glad when you make interviews about ballet... I really did not expect that this conversation goes in this direction. I am so happy to hear that someone in the dance world has in mind that not everyone has access to ballet. Interestingly, as you were talking about making ballet closer to people and showing not only classical but also contemporary pieces, I am drawing my next animation exactly about that... :) I don´t know how you see it, but as I visit ballet shows in Germany, I see the audience is getting older and older. No young or middle aged people... None of my friends are interested in ballet. People just don´t know that ballet is not only Swan Lake but so much more. Thank you for this insipiring video again!

    It is always so good to see someone so enthusiastic. 🙂 I cross Vienna often when I travel home to Hungary but have never stopped there yet for a longer time, though even crossing through is enough to feel that Vienna has such a special atmosphere and is so colorful. I also have the feeling that it combines the best part of the German cities and the best part of the Hungarian architecture. The size of everything is smaller than in Germany, so it is closer to Hungary (seems more "human-size" or how could I say), but the buildings are mostly in better condition then in Hungary... Still, I always feel, I am always home, and it is not only about the closeness of my country.

    I like your videos also because otherwise I would not know too much about Africa and the artists in different countries... The dedication of these two people is so amazing! Many things occured to my mind about this interview. One was, when they mentioned the dance students receive also free drinking water in school (if I understood it correctly). It gives a different dimension to the whole thing. Everyone knows that water can be a problem in many african countries but we tend not to think about how precious water there really is. In Europe, the students biggest problem is, in which store they need to buy their dancer clothes. :)

    I understand that she was sad when her mentor told her to change her personality... I guess that mentor had just superficial knowledge about the human psyche. I heard this "advice" a lot, too, but with the years I realized it is totally silly. You just need to develop certain other characteristics around your personality to protect yourself, but you don´t need to lose your vulnerability or anything else, because it means you loose your human traits. How the world should be when everyone who had deeper feelings and emotions would lose their personality?

    I realize over and over again that your interviews are not only about showing the artists to the world, but you are also a kind of psychologist to them, because many of them - or maybe all of them - need someone to talk to, about their artworks, about their struggling and so on. Many artists seem to be lonely and not understood by "normal" people. I think your attention to these artists is so precious!

      How wonderful! Thank you for letting me know. Yes Aled is truly inspirational. I would love to hear your son's story too. It would be great to talk to someone who is a memeber of this great choir.
