Been a fan since: Since 1991 when I was 16 years old when in our country audio recordings not only the Russian performers became widely available, but also foreign music and me was succeeded to get in recording studio the cartridge with an album "Soul Cages".
Favourite Sting song: Each song is in own way fine, and to choose only one of them it is simply impossible! All remarkable: from 'Love Is The Seventh Wave' and 'Fortress Around Your Heart' to 'All Would Envy'.
Favourite Police song: 'Don't Stand So Close To Me', 'I Burn For You', 'Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic', 'Wrapped Around Your Finger', use up, of course, 'Roxanne' and 'Every Breath You Take'.
Favourite Sting album: As it is heavy to choose the favourite song, and it is impossible to allocate any one of Sting albums. Everyone is in own way expensive, connected with a certain vital stage, feelings and experiences. Now is, likely, 'Symphonicities'. Though I constantly come back and to old albums: 'Ten Summoner's Tales', 'Sacred Love', 'If On A Winter's Night...'.
Favourite Police album: Most likely it is 'Synchronicity'.
Most memorable concert: Sting repeatedly was in Russia with concerts, but, generally in Moscow. And unfortunately, owing to the developed circumstances, the only concert of Sting which I managed to visit, was "Back To Bass Tour" concert in November, 2012 in Krasnodar. Naturally, this concert - the most unforgettable, after all of what I dreamed 20 years came true! With hope I wait for repetition of this miracle - opportunity again to meet Sting and his music in Russia!
Other favourite bands: I listen to a lot of music: jazz, classics, rock, pop. From Miles Davis to Pink Floyd. However the main place in my heart is undoubtedly given to Sting and his music!
In your own words: Sting - improbably talented person! Its voice, music and appearance - everything is fine! There is no such other voice as it, it is unique! Sting has an ability to touch souls both his music, and a voice. It is difficult to present that passed 20 years as I heard Sting for the first time. Its songs always were part of my life, each of them has something exciting, special. Each its album is unique. All these years I had a dream - to visit its concert. What happiness that it at last came true! Thanks for unforgettable impressions! Now I have one more dream: I hope to meet Sting personally and to thank him for such remarkable music and his talent which it gives us!
