For Emin Agalarov, the music making in the studio of the Russian composer is filled with originalit­y and uniqueness.

"When you are in the studio with Maxim Alexandrov­ich, you realize that you are now present at the creation of something unique. He sits down at the instrument, closes his eyes, puts his hands on the keys, throws his head back a little and at the same time begins to play and sing ... This is a magic that only he owns. He put his heart into this song, and it is imbued with the spirit of Maxim Fadeev. We look forward to his concert in Baku, and I will definitely be there! Since this is the second solo concert of Maxim for the first time in 25 years (after Moscow), I am very glad that it takes place in my hometown," said Emin.
