Thank you so much for the translation! This interviewer is great. She talks to him about his interests and brings out his personality. Other Russian interviewers I have seen here just seem cranky!
Q: Your wife, beauty Florance, is a pianist, a musician, right?
DH: And she is also a singer.
Q: Do you sing together? Just for yourselves?
DH: No. You know, I don't sing at home. Very seldom. I practice at home only if I have to practice and there is no other place to practice. I stay at home so seldom, that usually I rest from the music and try even not to listen the music.
Q: (while he is laughing) I wonder about what you think in such case...
You had the rehearsals of the future concert...
DH: It will be today.
Q: So you haven't tried at all yet..?
DH: No.
Q: Are you excited?
DH: No, just the opposite - it's interesting to rehearse. I prefer improvising on the stage without knowing who is the partner... As in the real life if you meet a new person, start talking, knowing his predilections, his character - it's always more interesting than...
DH: Yes, undoubtedly. Even if you feel an antipathy for the partner it's easier to turn it into love rather than you don't feel anything. It's necessary to have any kind of attitude. There should be a strong sympathy or antipathy to get anything on the stage.
Q: And if it's an indifference, then how do you stimulate yourself?
DH laughing.
Q: If she doesn't evoke anything at all?
DH: I am not going to tell you about it. (laughing)
DH: Regarding solo performances or gala performances I prefer to be alone. When you sing with Sandra Radvanovsky, a sort of contest appears, like in sports. And here it's important tо save your face.
Q: So there is a sort of competition anyway?
DH: Certainly, certainly. It has to be. It always in the background.
Q: Theatre actors say that it's impossible to perform love at the stage if you don't feel a sympathy for the partner.
Did I understand well? (neither english nor russian are my native languages)
he said never have singed with Sondra Radvanovsky before this interview? I know they sing together in Russia. I suppose that was at this time.
"Q: So you haven't tried at all yet..?
DH: No."
then why he said singing with her is: "sort of contest appears, like in sports. And here it's important tо save your face"
Dima didn't like Sondra? Did she slap his face sometimes? (jajaja ¡just kidding!)

Q: You see - even I have sung! Despite the fact that in front of you it was very hard for me. I totally blushed inside. Thanks.
DH: Thanks.

Q: We are waiting for your concert on the 24th and on the 26th we are waiting for the semi-final.
DH: Right, all keep the fingers crossed, and support, and hope, hope for reaching the final.
Q: Let's sing once more.
DH: Let's sing.... Russia, Russia, come on!
Q: (desperately) It's not a singing, Dmitry! It's necessary to... (singing)
DH: It must be shouted out loud, the louder the better.

Q: I see. So such romantic picture when you are singing or Florance is singing, and somebody is playing the piano....
DH: Well, yes, when we are singing, then for some reason I am playing the piano and she is singing.
(they are showing the picture of his FIRST wife - funny :) )
Q: Really? It must be great. And the kids are listening, right?
DH: Right, the kids are listening.
Q: Dmitry, I am letting you go to the rehearsal...
DH: Thanks.
