Does there somebody know about Maksim?   I know him by the music of the title "Somewhere in time". I am waiting for his music performance in Taiwan.  He was born in Croatia of Europe, and he is 200cm tall.   I prefer the musical composition is:

"Somewhere in time"/"Claudine"/"Exodus"/"Still Waters"/"New World"/"Tango in Ebony"/"Waters of irrawaddy"....

Q.Qiu :

You didn't guess it!  In my town, it is getting colder and colder, too.  And I must get up more early recently for the traffic jam which caused of the rainy days...

I think I would not go for Olympic games, not only for the difficulties of asking for leave, but also for my poor English.  Indeed, I am able to write words in English only!  If I talk to someone else with English, it must be terrible to talk to each other!   I tried harder and harder to improve English speaking and writing ability, and that's why I am.....!  Oh, remember to bring a jacket when you go out, and I hope that you will fully recover from an illness quickly.

Hello, 0.0iu:

Uh!  Originally, it was a melody of a bit latin elements.  I didn't know it before.  In my impression, I figured that the melody of Spain tends to be more unrestrained, the rhythm is more brisk, it just like the feelings of the "Cubana Cubana" encore.  So, it is wonderful tune since the melody of " Tango in Ebony"is full of grace!  I'm glad you love it.  In Taiwan, the melody of "somwhere in time" is not often to be broadcasted. Always, a well-known singer or a famous music  player are be known from their voices and tune compositions.  I prefer to listen to their voices or creations before knowing them. 

Well, I find the video of "olympic dream" played by Maksim is as below:

Wow...The  2008 Olympic Games is coming...!

hi,lady,

i've just listened to maksim's tango in ebony. it's cool and it has some latin music element in it coz tango actually is a spanish word. thanks for ur recommendation. somewhere in time is an old melody i guess, coz i've heard it many many times, esp on radio as it serves as the background music. i like that piece and i remembered yanni once also played that beautiful piece.

talk to u later...

Hi, man:

First, I wanna say Hello to you, and I am very glad of meeting someone who knows Maksim. But you make a mistake, I am not a great piano master.  Actually, I don't play piano, so I don't know music very much.  In the series of his albums, I like the "Somewhere in time" most.  And his MV of "exodus" is full of Egypt local flavor, and the several horses surged forward like the expedition of army, and the begining of the sunrise, just like the hope of success will be in mind....And did you heard his latest melody of "Tango in Ebony"?  It's tune is so wonderful.  I recommend you to hear it!

I don't understand why I can't find the MV selling of "Somewhere in time".  It is a pity for me.  Nice to talk~
