"That awkward moment when a Metallica tribute sounds better than Metallica itself."
“Awesome. Gorgeous. Magically. Sumptuously. I do not have enough words to describe this concert and the state of mind during the performance of the tribute band. What the guys did on stage cannot be compared with anything. " The incomparable play of the children and the exciting voices carried them away to another world, where only me and music. And no external factors had the right to interfere with us and our hearts, which beat to the beat. I wanted to scream and cry at the same time. "
“The incredible contrast is mesmerizing. I would like to penetrate into the minds and feelings of symphonic musicians, and understand how it is! "
"To say it's cool here is to say nothing."
After the concert, the audience was especially impressed by the symphony orchestra and its conductor, Viktor Babarikin. As one of the enthusiastic guests wrote about him, "he overshadowed everyone, the most real" rocker "in spirit came out." “It was the conductor who acted as the basis for the dialogue of cultures. In an official classical costume, leading the same academic musical orchestra, he managed not only to find a common musical language with a heavy metal band in leather jackets and chains, but also came into direct contact with the audience. "
The tour of Russian cities preceding the grandiose Moscow concert was also a huge success. In each city, the musicians were accompanied by a triumph, in total, the concerts were attended by more than 20,000 people - the population of a small city!

“Heavy metal through a multi-instrumental symphony orchestra is undeniably a scale. The orchestra refines the metal, and the metal fills the orchestra. Experiments within the framework of the dialogue of cultures are always a fertile and provoking cultural shock. " This fan review is the best description of a great show that everyone should attend!
