But they know it, and in many other countries. With fellow musicians, he traveled from west to east and from north to south, a lot of countries.

This phenomenon, which is a brand, it's a phenomenal range of music, which is characterized by creative originality and indispensability. Instead, Anatoly Kalvarskaya can not be anyone but himself by Anatoly Kalvarskaya! "
