Yuri Grigorovich, People’s Artist of the USSR

We will miss his voice because he represents the noble popular music which is virtually gone from our life. He tells us our history, he speaks to us, he sings of course but…he speaks. It is unfair that he is quitting. He is in an excellent shape and is still progressing: new discoveries with V. Minin’s choir, N. Nekrasov’s orchestra, the Ministry of Interior’s ensemble. He seems to be new, different… and still himself.
