The Time magazine article is on the website now, preceding my Carnegie hall debut 30 years ago. My fans can finally read the press from the pre-internet era.

I’d like to write a few words about the Festival Del Sole, it is 20 years old this year.

As a founder of this event together with my husband and the artistic director, I went to meet Margaret Mondavi at her Napa Valley winery and home in 2006.

Margaret was very friendly, a very interesting person and a painter herself.

Margaret loved the idea of the art festival in Napa, as there was nothing like it. But she said no to it back then as a supporter, and added, she’d like to watch its progress-the beginning of the festival in five months time just seemed impossible to everyone. But not to Barrett Wissman.

Since then, Margaret and Robert Mondavi became the most ardent supporters of the festival, and not only as the socializing event, but, specifically, the festival with the grand artistic goals that kept materializing.

Here’s the picture with Margaret along the course of the festival summers-

And with Pinchas Zukerman Amanda Forsyth

The classical music industry is at the critical point.
Every year there are less people who bring the spiritual qualities in the art of playing. Whether it is on stage or among new album releases.
May there be always the light with you when you are playing or listening to music!

Индустрия классической музыки находится в критической точке.
С каждым годом становится всё меньше тех, кто привносит духовное начало в искусство исполнения — будь то на концертной сцене или среди новых альбомов.
Пусть свет всегда сопутствует вам, когда вы играете или слушаете музыку!

Dear friends,

For the reason I’ve been disregarding yellow press in the recent two decades, there is still matter circulating in the drain.
It is someone who has been feeding on his own fantasies, incompetence and lies.

I would have continued ignoring this, as I have been and as it’s been advised to me by everyone, till the end of this century, as we’re talking only about the classical music world, which is tiny, comparing. But it is my world, my nose bleeding since 6 years old career, constant working on music every day, my teachers, my parents, who invested their time and lives into me- this is what we are talking about. I’m writing this on behalf of everyone who has been involved into nurturing my talent.

If the purpose of that someone’s writing has not gone directly into most people’s heads and hasn’t been the purpose of damaging the world of classical music further.
To clear up the minds of the upcoming generations, here are the copies of my letters that show clearly the dates, when I left the only IMG manager I worked with over a decade ago, (yes, I was given only two concerts in five years), and when I finally had to ask to take my page off their website.

The dates clearly do not match with the yellow press literature even a bit.
As this certain man is rubbing his hands with a cheer, check and compare and see that everything he has put in people’s heads on his website needs a fact check and a lie detector to tell you what the truth is and what is not.

This person has been feeding the classical world, all at once, managers, conductors and presenters, with one and only purpose of jealous revenge and capitalize on.
I understand, as a musician, I would have never been so interesting to that individual, he never heard me play. He is an experienced fraud, who knows how to act.
Дорогие друзья!
Хотя последние двадцать лет я не обращала внимания на желтую прессу, эта муть продолжает всплывать на поверхность.
Речь идет о человеке, который питается собственными фантазиями, некомпетентностью и ложью.
Я бы и дальше игнорировала это, как мне и советовали, вплоть до конца столетия (ведь мир классической музыки, по сравнению с остальным, крошечный), если бы цель писанины этого субъекта не состояла в том, чтобы задурить людям голову и нанести еще больший вред миру классической музыки.

Дело касается моего творческого пути, начавшегося еще в шесть лет — с изнурительного труда до крови из носа, избитых до крови пальцев и ежедневной работы над музыкой, — а также о моих учителях и родителях, которые вложили в меня свое время и свои жизни. Я пишу это от лица всех, кто участвовал в становлении моего таланта.

Чтобы прояснить ситуацию для будущих поколений, я публикую копии своих писем. В них четко указаны даты: когда я рассталась с единственным менеджером из агентства IMG, с которым сотрудничала тринадцать лет назад, и когда мне пришлось потребовать удалить мою страницу с их сайта.

Эти даты совершенно не совпадают с теми, что постит этот сочинитель в желтой прессе.
Пока этот «писака» радостно потирает руки, взгляните на факты и сравните их: всё, что он внушил людям через свой сайт, требует проверки и детектора лжи, чтобы отличить правду от вымысла.

Этот человек «кормит» мир классической музыки — менеджеров, дирижеров, ведущих — своими измышлениями, преследуя лишь одну цель: отомстить и нажиться.

Я прекрасно осознаю, что как музыкант и как личность я ему не интересна, он ни разу не слышал как я играю.
Это опытный мошенник, который знает как действовать на публику.

The classical music industry is at the critical point.
Every year there are less people who bring the spiritual qualities in the art of playing. Whether it is on stage or among new album releases.
May there be always the light with you, when you are playing or listening to music!
