Vladimir Spivakov – Conductor Olga Kern – Piano
“First rate string players honed by Vladimir Spivakov to a rare fineness of ensemble. What the violinist has achieved with this group is remarkable.” - The New York Times
For the first time since visiting New York in 1998, we went to see a Broadway musical. The one we selected was “Wicked,” based on the eponymous book by Gregory Maguire. Having just finished reading the novel about the history of the Emerald City of Oz before Dorothy (Ellie, to all of you «Волшебник Изумрудного Города» readers) has crushed in, we did not know what to expect of this musical.
"Нет, ребята, все не так. Все не так, ребята!" (В. Высоцкий).

I'm a huge “HP” fan. And I don't mean “Hewlett-Packard.” I mean Harry Potter. Many of you are too (you know who you are). After all, “HP” is the biggest selling book of all time.
