A powerful moment for "Dmitri Hvorostovsky: The Last Concert"🎬✨

Yesterday (April 20) in New York 🇺🇸, we filmed a pivotal interview with Constantine Orbelian.

One of the most distinguished musicians of our time 🎹, Orbelian shared a deep artistic bond with Dmitri Hvorostovsky spanning over two decades. Together, they recorded 23 albums — including four Grammy-nominated works, two during Dmitri’s lifetime and two more after his passing 🏆

Dmitri Hvorostovsky — a legendary baritone whose voice captivated audiences around the world 🎼 — left an unforgettable mark on classical music before his life was cut short by cancer 🤍

Directed by Maxim Kravchinsky 🎥

Our film about Virsky has grown by one more day.

It was a meeting that will stay much longer than just footage. A meeting with Volodymyr Tymoshenko — a performer of the legendary Virsky Ensemble. A return to a life that is almost gone.

The 1960s. A time when the ensemble lived as a single organism — with extraordinary discipline, inner strength, and absolute devotion to the stage.
The 1970s. Virsky’s final years — and the first years after him.

Stories about tours, about life behind the scenes, about what turned this vast group of people into a family.

At some point, the feeling that you are making a film disappears.
You simply listen.
And you realize that in front of you is not just a witness, but a part of that era.

And also — a few still frames from archival footage that I managed to find last autumn in the Kyiv archives.

A meeting at the train station after a tour: Virsky standing nearby, and Volodymyr being welcomed by his wife and his little daughter Yulia.

A moment that holds everything: the road, the stage — and the life that was waiting at home.
