 I'm so happy to be back in Oroville again for the second time. This concert is almost a gift for me because it arrived at the very last minute and we could make it happen at the end of my Indian tour, which was taking me to New Delhi, Pune and Mumbai. And then I took a flight from Mumbai this morning and I arrived in this beautiful place, which is still a great memory in my heart and I will never forget the last concert three years ago. I don't really believe in coincidence so I take it really as a sign that this concert is happening tonight here because this is not only the last concert of the year for me before Christmas but it's also a last concert for a while in my life because I will take a sabbatical from January 2000, 2023 and I don't know how long this break will be because I decided to fully dedicate to my project to young artists to overtake stage fright and control emotions and kind of feel better as musicians and performing artists so I will study with them and for them and so this will take a lot of time so I believe there will be less time to prepare properly for public performances so the fact that this concert is happening in Auroville it's really special for me and it will stay in my heart forever. I chose two very specific and important pieces of my repertoire which are the very famous Toccata and Fugue in the Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach and the full opus 28 of the 24 Chopin Preludes which is the entire collection. I play it in a special version it's a very special transcription because as you know the original piece is for organ and there is a beautiful, very rare transcription by a wonderful pianist Tatiana Nicolaeva and this transcription is so rare that it only exists because it is kind of passed hand by hand and I received it also as a gift so I want to gift this to the public tonight. The following part of the program is really not only music I tend to say that it's a real journey because the experience of playing and listening to the entire opus of the 24 Preludes by Chopin is like a kind of life-changing experience and because they go through all possible tonalities and emotions and feelings of music and they change in the time of few seconds and the old landscape, musical landscape is changing and it's very, very deep, it's very intense it's really a wonderful journey so I'm so happy to share this tonight in Auroville.
