Die "Russische Nationalphilharmonie" und Pianist Nicolai Tokarev begeisterten mit russischemProgramm Von Heide OehmenRP Online, 25.11.2016
Eine derartig gefeierte Veranstaltung wie das zweite Sinfoniekonzert ist in der Viersener Festhalle, die auch diesmal wieder lückenlos gefüllt war, nicht alle Tage zu erleben. Dabei begann der Abend mit einer Enttäuschung: Vladimir Spivakov, der Gründer und Künstlerische Leiter der im Jahre 2003 gegründeten "Russischen Nationalphilharmonie" - ein weltweit gefragter Dirigent und darüber hinaus allseits geachtet als Mittler zwischen den Kulturen - war erkrankt. Mihhail Gerts, ein Künstler, den vermutlich in Viersen niemand kennt, war als sein Vertreter avisiert.

Mitreißender Musterknabe
Von unserer Mitarbeiterin Waltraud Brunst
Da kommt ein Jüngling im Konfirmationsanzug auf die Bühne im ausverkauften Mozartsaal, um Haupteslänge überragt vom Dirigenten Vladimir Spivakov. Und der erste ketzerische Gedanke ist "Wie will der Knabe Tschaikowskys pianistisches Schlachtross bewältigen?" Immerhin stand doch im Programmheft, dass der 28-jährige Dmitry Masleev schon zu Studienzeiten viele internationale Preise und 2015 gar den Internationalen Tschaikowsky-Wettbewerb gewonnen hatte.

Vyacheslav Artyomov is considered by many to be Russia’s greatest living composer. After the fall of the Soviet regime his music has travelled the world to great acclaim. It is deep, ultimately spiritual and brilliantly crafted, with influences from the Russian symphonic tradition colored by Mahler, Honegger and Messiaen to name a few but melded into a unique voice. Symphony "On the Threshold of a Bright World" is the second of his gigantic symphonic tetralogy “Symphony of the Way” commissioned by Mstislav Rostropovich to whose memory the disc is dedicated. The symphony is accompanied by another major work, Ave Atque Vale for percussion and orchestra, and the much more traditional Ave, Crux Alba a setting of the Hymn of the Knights of Malta.
The conductor, Ashkenazy, needs no introduction, being one of the most lauded and accomplished figures in music today. Overall, this is a disc of high importance in the symphonic repertoire (world premiere recordings).
