The message reads, in part:
“It would not be an exaggeration to say that your original and rich talent and its immensely creative force is known by everyone who loves and values classical music and takes pride in the unique traditions of the national conducting school.
As the conductor of the best symphony orchestras in the world, you have taken efforts for many years to make the cultural life in Russia and the world brighter, and you have promoted wonderful educational and charitable projects.
And, of course, you invariably provide audiences with unforgettable experiences during their encounters with high art.”
