Con la partecipazione dell'agenzia federale della cultura e
della cinematografia, l'Accademia della Musica Gnessin e il
fondo Friedrich Lips, il tradizionale 19° Festival Internazionale
'Bayan and Bayanists' ha avuto luogo nella sala da concerto
dell'Accademia della Musica Gnessin di Mosca dal 5 al 9 Dicembre.
Un obiettivo tradizionale del Festival è onorare le pietre
miliari della storia della Fisarmonica e del Bayan. Quest'anno
il festival ha celebrato il 100° anniversario della costruzione
del primo Bayan in Russia. È stato onorato anche il famoso
Maestro Artigiano Y. Volkovitsh, responsabile di diversi importanti
passi nello sviluppo dello strumento, celebrando il suo 80°
compleanno
The first part of the opening concert was arranged by the accordion
orchestra 'Vivat, accordion!' conducted by Valentina Bobisheva
of the Schnittke-Music College and the chamber orchestra of
the Gnessin Music Academy conducted by Timur Mynbajev.
Soloists were pianist Svjatoslav Lips (Ephrem Podgaits: 'Rondo'
for piano and orchestra) as well as bayanist People's Artist
Friedrich
Lips (picture left - Astor Piazzolla: 'Aconcagua', concert
for bandoneon and chamber orchestra).
For the second part, young Russian prize-winners of international
competitions of 2007 were acclaimed by the public: Victor-Daniel
Eliasson, J. Puriz, D. Stadnjuk, I. Salachov, Semjion Shmelkov
(bayan) with flautist O. Somanovskaya.
The following three evenings were dedicated to artists from
different countries: S. Najko, Yuri
Shisckin, Oleg
Scharov (Russia), Max Bonnay (France), Angel
L. Castaño (picture left - Spain), as well as 'Trio
Mobile' (J.Gurevitsh, bayan; A.Groshev, flute; N.Telminova,
violoncello) from Nischny Novgorod. All performers emphasized
the different facets of the bayan in their way.
The Gala concert brought an absolute musical highlight with
the appearance of Stefan Hussong (Germany). The large musical
range from a traditional Gagaku of 10th century Japan to the
musical avant-garde of John Cage or Adriana Hoelszky was very
impressive. With V. Osipov (Concertino and xylophon), accompanied
on the piano by Svjatoslav Lips, as well as the group of 'Bely
Den' (White Day) the concert ended in lively fashion.
'Silver Discs' were conferred on accordionists/bayanists Stefan
Hussong, Yuri
Shisckin, Vatcheslav Galkin, Sergey Najko and to the masters
V. Vassiliev, A. Tshernov und S. Kashinzev for merits in the
bayan art.
Exhibitions
and presentations of musical instruments of chief world producers
took place in the foyer of the concert hall Russian Gnessin
Academy of Music throughout the festival.
Prima assoluta di una Nuova Versione delle 'Stagioni'
di Piazzolla - Croazia
Il
fisarmonicista concertista croato Miran Vaupotic ha dato una serie
di concerti con il noto chitarrista Robert Belinic e uno dei più
famosi Ensemble Classici croati, 'Zagreb Soloists', con i quali ha
debuttato al bandoneon in uno speciale, nuovo arrangiamento di 'Le
Stagioni' di Astor Piazzolla per bandoneon, chitarra e orchestra.
Altri concerti hanno avuto luogo all' VIII Festival de Otono a Jaen
nell' Aula Magna dell' Università e altre sale da concerto
in Croazia a Velika Gorica, e alla Concert Hall dell'Istituto Musicale
a Zagabria.
Le
esecuzioni hanno riscosso grande successo, con i solisti e il gruppo
che hanno entusiasmato il pubblico con le loro grandi musicalità,
creatività interpretativa, tecnica raffinata e brani di grande
difficoltà. Hanno ricevuto molte standing ovations, sfociate
in diversi bis.
Miran ha anche collaborato con importanti compositori, delle cui opere
ha dato la Prima, come A. Markovic, T. Uhlik, D. Palanovic e D. Bobic.
Ha dato la Prima Croata dell' Eshaton Concerto di Davor Bobic, che
è il primo Concerto per Bayan nella storia della musica Croata.
Miran intende registrare questo nuovo arrangiamento di 'Le Stagioni',
Piazzolla, e pubblicarne la partitura.
Frank Marocco ha pubblicato un DVD contenente una 'master class workshop'
live, dove il grande fisarmonicista entra nei dettagli nello spiegare
e dimostrare come imparare a suonare il jazz e ad improvvisare, e
come creare linee di basso per i grandi standard del jazz. Il DVD
include anche un concerto completo di Frank che suona insieme a basso,
chitara e batteria.

scenes and locations, featured often in close up as he accompanied
vocal numbers.
Presented by actor (and melodeon player) Geoffrey Hughes, the music
included songs by The Beatles, John Lennon, George Harrison, Teardrop
Explodes, Echo & The Bunnymen, the Icicle Works, Dead Or Alive
and The Las. Stars included Cathy Tyson and Jennifer Ellison. Local
actors Jodie McNee and Kenny Thompson played Mary and Joseph.
The
Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra also performed at the event
at William Brown Street. The Nativity was broadcast live on BBC
