From Sergei Saratovsky, chief psychologist of the Ministry of Education of the Saratov region

‘An unexpected surprise – the song “Hallelujah” – from the Grandmothers from Buranova in my office. Just listen and rejoice at their soulful singing and see how their faces are transformed at the time of the performance of a musical composition’:

    Beautiful singing, it is moving seeing these incredible women singing after so many painful movements of history and humanity. I wish I could have been there to witness it myself.

    As much antipathy I have for you Mr. Lebrecht, thank you for sharing this, from the bottom of my heart. It is these little things that I find most precious in the world.
