Yearning And Nostalgia.
Nostalgic music - music that yearns forsomething which is no more - the passed childhood -
the happy feeling of being in love - the lost fatherland.
The Russians are world masters of nostalgia,
and not many peoples are as easily moved to tears.
Alexander Vaulin was born in 1950 in Moscow,
where he began his training at Gnesins' music school.
