“It was very easy to talk with Nikita. He easily caught my harmonies, my ideas. In general, hearing his game and his musical abilities, I'm glad that not only guitar performers have appeared, but people with a broader horizon and free musical thinking" From an interview with Gennady Gladkov, famous Russian composer.
“First of all, Nikita Boldyrev is a bright individuality. Despite the young age, this is an established, independent artist with, I'm not afraid of this word, unique musical thinking. This is a rare gift, especially for guitarists - there are quite a lot of technically strong performers, but people who penetrate so deeply and feel their own and other people's music, among them are few.” Magazine ”Where is culture"
