    One of the best interviews I have seen recently. They way they communicate with each other is so real and special. As an aspiring cellist from Seville, I have to admit I'm a huge admirer of Anastasia. She's just unique.
    Thank you for this gift

    This is why Simon is the great help that we all connect with, he hears our soul and unspoken inner thoughts and give voice to them so we know it's ok to be just us.

    Thank you for sharing this.
    Its one of those peak moments for musicians in my opinion when they are able to touch someone that deeply, as Benjamin Zhander says: "If their eyes are shining, you know you are doing it".
    Playing the cello (barely) and guitar myself I had the pleasure of experiencing these, very rare but when they happen, one loses words to describe them.
    Once I was practicing/enjoying Ludovico Einaudi's piece Nuvole Bianche in my room, been doing this for a few days, It's a piece with melancholic, reflective, lamentful imo. My housemate then knocked on my door and said if they could join me to listen, I said yes for sure. They sat besides me while I played it for them, while I finished playing they were in tears and we both had no words to say anything for quite some time. They thanked me, still weeping and left. Its these moments that tell me how powerful music can be.

What a beautiful person Anastasia is! Thank you @SimonSinek for bringing her out for us to know her just a little bit more!

    I can't believe this is happening. I have been a big fan of yours, Simon, for years. Of course, I've read your books, Start With Why and Find Your Why. I think this is something many musicians miss (not just the small business owners). I have been a big fan of Anastassia too. I hope some musicians are in this audience as well, as I believe they will learn a lot from these conversations.
    "I am playing a piece of history." ~ Anastassia.
    This is beautiful. And it's a nicely worded farewell to all living instrument makers, since the fact is-we have lost both history and culture to the point of no return-and culture is something people like us value, appreciate, and understand. "What culture?" some people might ask. Well, it's in my books, but just for those who care.
    Thank you.

    Thank you for conducting the interview with Anastasia Kobekina @AnastasiaKobekina. Her artistry builds bridges between music and our emotions and between music and other people because admiration for something unites everyone regardless of the country we live in. In Poland, there was an opportunity to listen to her music live in cities such as Poznań and Gdańsk. Classical music is a form of spiritual cleansing that energizes us and prepares us to take on new challenges.

    We need Solfegio schools in Western countries. In other countries after school kids went to solfegio classes and learned about music literature, composers and how to play an instrument. It was mandatory. Here every single person in school I ask if they play an instrument at fluent level the response is always no because my parents can’t afford private instrument lessons. Also every symphony I visited was filled with seniors. Back home we had youth and it was a dream for youngsters to attend philharmonic orchestra. Good job Anastasia. Molodets 👏
