"what you're doing gives me cause to be optimistic" ... That was the cutest comment ever 😭😭😭❤

@lsim001

Really enjoyed this interview. The broad discussion of Zlatomir's thoughts about the struggle and experiencing music was great.

Your guest spoke with a rich voice with bursts of infectious laughter. This had some 'charm' away from the deep issues of classical music discussed by two high standard proponents of this artform.

@walterchin8832

I'd like you Tiffany and Zlatomir play a duo piano and cello. Just interview and no musical interlude are boring.

@avatar19822

Can we get a duo of you two playing some time?

Thank you, Tiffany! This gave me a chance to hear things that are meaningful about both of you. I would suggest to both of you that when you are talking about the role of classical music in modern society, to me, what you are actually talking about is the lack of education about this wonderful art form that has been passed down to us. About 70 years ago, when I was in elementary school, we had "music appreciation" most days. It consisted of us listening to classical music after our afternoon recess period and was used as a breather for us so that we would settle down after the exertion outside but also it gave us the opportunity to hear truly wonderful music. The teacher was never upset if someone dozed off, we were just gently awakened to get ready for spelling or whatever came next. But we were never tested on what we had heard, we just had a brief discussion about how we felt about the music. Sometimes, if the music was something like the William Tell overture or the Grand Canyon Suite, we would talk about the story inside the music. It was wonderful and stayed with me my entire life. Many of my friends from school will bring up the subject and talk about how that added a new dimension to their lives. They no longer do such things in school. It is not covered in the standardized tests... Sorry about being so long winded! Keep doing what we all love! 🤠

There's something terribly wrong with your audio! Frequently there is a crashing noise or whooshing that is frighteningly startling. Please see what you can to to make it stop. Because if you can't, I'll not watch your videos any more. Thank you.

@whoisthispianist194

I was so disappointed when he said he is a Taylor Swift fan.

@militaryandemergencyservic3286

what a great interviewer Tiffany is. Of course, she is an even better pianist. In my opinion she is the best of all the younger generation of pianists - and on a par with Lisitsa, Volodos etc. She far surpasses Wang. Just my opinion. But my teacher (from Gnessin) comes from the Beethoven AND Tchaikovsky lineage.

@DrQuizzler

I think this may be my new favorite one of these chats. I was going to watch it in segments, but the time just flew by. You and he challenged each other a lot in this chat, so I think we ended up learning a lot about BOTH of you.

What a fantastic interview. Thank you so much for such an insightful discussion ❤

@topturretgunner

Really happy to see this. It’s good to reach out this way and expose folks to the world of classical music.

@PaulIvers

So good to have Classical Chats back! For an introvert you do a pretty decent job of developing a conversation with your guests. I am always interested in hearing the motivations behind artistic expression and he was very open and sincere. Thank you Zlatomir. This was obviously recorded before the release of your album. It would have been interesting to see how its success would have added to the conversation.
