We worked for many, many months on the soundtrack and recorded for several days with wonderful Roma musicians in Vienna also, which was so much fun. Hans is wonderful to work with - a lot of creativity going around! My favorite movie? Hmmm, hard to say, so many... would it be weird if I said "Southpark, Bigger, Longer and Uncut"? Its a great, rediculous story and the music is simply amazing. Otherwise, here is a small list of a few "must see" movies (from my point of view) for you - they are movies I can watch more than once at least and not in any particular order: Amadeus Spinal Tap Borat Delikatessen The Big Lebowsky Pulp Fiction Being John Malkovich Rocky Horror Picture Show The Great Dictator Once Upon a Time in the West Crimes and Misdemeanors This list is entirely uncomplete and very unconventional, I know, but thats my taste... happy new year to you too!

The milk foamer world record sounds like a great idea... nice thinking girl. We will try to do workships in the German speaking area, I promise! I would absolutely love to sign all of your (or my) music for you, of course. We miss you too!!! Aleksey P.S. Yes, the film composers you mentioned are great of course and actually we are planning to do a Charlie Chaplin number in our next show. Here are some more film music names I love (besides the ones I menioned below): Bernard Herrmann, Dany Elfman and Vangelis, who also happens to be a personal friend of Hyung-kis and mine (check out his legendary music for Bladerunner or Chariots of Fire). In fact he was a friend of Henry Mancini and says that I look exactly like him... there is something in that - check out some pictures of Mancini (wonderful composer of pink panther and many other amazing tunes) Hi Wiebke,

I couldn't belive that it helped! But know my violin teacher gave me new notes ... The 2nd violinconcert in G-major of Haydn which isn't much easier :-) Yours Cäcilia PS: Thank you so much for comming to Stuttgart! Hi Aleksey,

Oh that world record concert was so great!!! I so loved being there up on stage with all of you. Usually, I'm very nervous on stage, but this time it was all forgotten, because there was only room for happiness: Music! - and us violinists playing and dancing together with my favourite musicians...Thank you!!!! (And thanks for the photo, too.) How about doing this again, next year? There are so many other organizations that would be glad if somebody'd set a world record for them, right? Tibet Aid, for instance? How would you like "The most milk foaming violinists ever"? - I got a milk foamer for Christmas, you know :-) I hate to urge, as you might remember, but what about this workshop in Germany or Austria...did you already talk to your secret agent? Oh, and - I know you always mind signing things, but would you forgive me, if next time I'd ask you to sign your notes, too - I've got (almost) five books...;-) I miss you all so much!!!!! Hoping to meet you again on stage some time, Yours, Wiebke P.S. Those composers you wrote about - I also like them (especially Barock) But how do you like Howard Shore, Alan Silvestri, John Williams, Carl Davis and Charlie Chaplin? Dear Aleksey!

I just found the video on youtube after searching for it. Actually I was a little sad of not having the time to go to Vienna and watch the "new year's slide" live, but am just too busy right now to take a few days off. But I even thought of it l that evening! I was waiting for midnight, and suddenly it occurred to me that at that very moment in my home town there were probably some hundred violinists riverdancing on the Konzerthaus-stage....Funny thought to end and start a new year with.... Kind regards, Natascha Hi Aleksey,

Yesterday I saw the new Sherlock Holmes film and it was just great! Maybe great isn't the right word... i really enjoyed seeing it! Amazing :D Your such a great musician and it's always a pleasure to "see" or "hear" you working together with Hans Zimmer :-) I really liked that in this one were more of those "gipsy" sounding pieces.. I was very happy to find your name in the end titles.. :D How long does it take to make the recordings for a film like Sherlock Holmes? Do you have a favourite movie? I wish you good luck tomorrow and a happy new year! Viola :) Dear (probably craziest violinist of the world) Aleksey!
