Appearance
The idea of holding a music festival came from the famous Russian producer, Honored Art Worker of Russia, Professor David Smelyansky [1] in the summer of 2003. He invited the famous pianist Denis Matsuev , the winner of the XI International Tchaikovsky Competition , who became the co-author of the project, to collaborate. The festival was "born" in the Pskov Kremlin at one of the rehearsals of the program dedicated to the celebration of the 1100th anniversary of Pskov . [2]
The idea of holding the Crescendo festival was approved by the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin . It was decided to hold an annual festival under the auspices of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation .
