Daniel speaks very sincerely about his mentor, Viktor Tretyakov: "Apart from the closest people, my family, no one has influenced me to such an extent as Viktor Viktorovich. He is a teacher who shapes your personality without doing it intentionally.
It seems to me that even when Tretyakov is just nearby and silent, he radiates artistry. And this overwhelms me. I think about Viktor Viktorovich every day. It’s as if a lamp was turned on inside me, and it burns in me all the time".
