The fantastic Belgian tour is finished and I am sitting in the Frankfurt Airports JAL Business Lounge waiting my Aeroflot flight to Moscow, where I play on Wednesday in one of the most prestigious Russian Halls - Great Hall of Conservatory, together with the Moscow City Symphony Orchestra at the jubilee concert of Russian composer Alexei Rybnikov. Crazy travels! Looong day lasted two days for me. Started yesterday afternoon from Antwerp to Dortmund where Yuliya Lonskaya had to perform her concert with Olga Reiser in the beautiful Torhaus, where I played solo concerts couple of times some years before. On the halfway to Dortmund I realized that some documents were forgotten in Antwerp, without them I could not fly tonight. So I arrived to Dortmund, listened a concert, even performed (as a surprise guest) one piece with Yuliya. After the concert instead of going to Karlsruhe I went to Duisburg, which is on the way to Belgium. Spent a night there and in the morning returned to Antwerp.... Anyway the trip back was very nice as I met again Marjan Hellraeth, the organizer of Musica et Poetica, and my Belgian impressario Carlo Schreiber. The looong trip is almost over. Looking forward Moscow!
