Vasily I

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Vasily I

 Russian Vasily Dmitriyevich

(born 1371—died February 1425, Moscow) Grand prince of Moscow (1389–1425). After helping the Tatar khan Tokhtamysh fight Timur, he succeeded his father as grand prince of Moscow and Vladimir. He enlarged his realm to include Nizhny Novgorod and Murom in the central Volga region, but his efforts to expand westward brought him into conflict with Lithuania and Novgorod. He prepared to fight Timur in 1395, but the Mongol leader withdrew from Russian lands without a battle. Vasily kept his state independent until the Tatars reasserted control in 1408.

Vasily is a fantastically charismatic figurehead and has a unique ability to communicate with the audience.
At 29, Vasily is the youngest chief conductor in the Phil's 165-year history.
Liverpool audiences will not have to wait 14 months to see their new conductor on the rostrum: Vasily is down to conduct two concerts with Mediterranean themes in October - and what's described as 'musical pantomime' in December.
