M. Buchbinder has become for me the standard conductor. Not the last role was played by his sonorous surname. I just listened to her: Bukh-bin-der. And the maestro’s whole appearance coincided with my fantasies: a solid age, easy gait, noble posture and even small stature, it seems to me that it was specifically provided that during the performance the conductor should not obstruct the action taking place on the stage [2] .
