Lev Sivukhin, People's Artist of the Russian Federation, Professor of Nizhny Novgorod State Glinka Conservatoire.

  • “The LUNN Choir has a soft spot for the lyrical-romantic manner, which affects the style of its performance, in which I want to highlight the deep immersion with the author's idea, flexibility and elegance of details, coherence and softness of the sound”.[4]

L.V. Shamina, professor of the Gnessin State Musical College.
