I sit here 1+ years into a military conflict in the Ukraine rooted in aggression started many years before that and from beyond Ukraine’s borders. If the combatants on all sides had the chance to absorb the beauty of music such as this, perhaps they would refuse to be driven by the people exploiting them.

Замечательная мысль, попробуйте с вашей стороны прекратить спонсирование фашизма, войны в Украине, уничтожение Русской культуры, языка, православной веры, остановите захват и уничтожение православных храмов.
