I'm happy to announce that since December 2015 I'm playing on the wonderful cello made by excellent, highly talented and extremely professional Michael Stüerzenhofecker! The union with my Benoit Rolland bow and this cello produces an incredible quality, clear and powerful tone!

"...cinque giovani artisti da tutta Europa sono invece stati invitati nel ciclo Nuova generazione. Abitano a Berlino, Tel Aviv, Amburgo, Ginevra e pure Lugano, perché proprio dal Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana proviene il grande talento Nikolay Shugaev."

I'm happy to announce that our lovely video is again unlocked. There was a terrible misunderstanding with YouTube which blocked it due to the "copyright" problems! But now you again can enjoy our recording! Good night everyone!
