The Holiday Julian Rachlin & Chums, Now In Its Eleventh Year, Has Presented Chamber Music Concerts From Late Aug And Will Continue Through Early Sep.
The town of Dubrovnik, found at the southernmost tip of Croatia on the Adriatic coast, is aglow with the music of summer festivals. From July 10 to August. Twenty-five, the town hosted 5 weeks of music, theater and dance at its 62nd yearly Dubrovnik Summer Festival.
The Festival Julian Rachlin & Friends, now in its 11th year, has presented chamber music concerts from late August and will continue through early Sep. It was founded by violinist Julian Rachlin, who chose the city as an ideal place to supply creative and vibrant projects with musicians of world repute.
Damaged in a war in the early 1990s, the Old Town section of Dubrovnik has been absolutely and faithfully rebuilt to its fairytale personality of previous centuries. Many Renaissance-era buildings are used as locations for musical performances. For the Festival Rachlin & Friends, the fifteenth century Rector's Palace is the primary location for this year's 13 concerts, starting with Zubin Mehta conducting the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra. In addition to performing standard classical collection, Rachlin commissions new works from composers. In the 1st three days of Sep, three new works by French-Swiss composer Richard Dubugnon were highlighted, every one painting a wholly different and unique view of the cosmos.
Eloquent chamber music
On Sept. 1 the programme included two examples of Russian romantic stock : Anton Arensky's Quartet No. Two for violin, viola and two cellos ; Alexander Glazounov's "Elegy" for viola and piano ; and Stravinsky's 20th-century "Divertimento" for violin and piano. The centerpiece of the programme, though, was the world premiere of Dubugnon's "Violiana," written for Rachlin and pianist Itamar Golan. The piece saw Rachlin switching backwards and forwards from violin to viola with split-second timing for three movements of diva playing. Exhibiting many moods and colors, most notably the wonderful muted impressionism of the slower second movement, this piece is unusual for its electrified energy level throughout and was strengthened by the kinetic performance by Rachlin and Golan. Dubugnon also dug satisfyingly deep into the velvety, burnished colour of the viola, exploring its capacity for drama more than most do.
Sept. 2's programme was dedicated to the victims of the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe. One of Japan's respected violin teachers, Tsugio Tokunaga, was a featured musician, as was his 18-year-old prizewinning student, Fumiaki Miura. Anchored to the evening's theme was another commission from Dubugnon : "Variations on a Japanese People Tune" for two violins and piano. In it, the composer took "Red Dragonflies" by Aka Tombo and created a sparkling, attractive seven-part theme with divergences. It was performed by Tokunaga and Rachlin, with Sophie Rachlin ( Julian's mother ) on the piano. While the previous night's composition used a less tonal and more rhythmically targeted language, this evening's work was intensely tonal and unabashedly emotional, made so particularly as it was predated by an original poem by Golan that made use of the unreal symbol of a young girl's doll to commemorate the Fukushima catastrophe.
Sept. Three was titled "Concert in White," to which everybody was requested to wear white clothing ; effectively, the crowd became a fun fashion show without the runway. The programme consisted mainly of three highly emotional compositions whose characters seemed to reflect the steamy hot weather. Dubugnon's "Three Pieces for Violin and Piano" ( exquisitely played by Boris Brovstyn and Golan ) is destined to become a hot item within violin inventory. It is an stunningly tender duet, as if the piano and violin were in a lovers ' embrace. The three sections wandered from hallucinatory dreams to a moonlit reverie, then a wonderful homage to the music of Maurice Ravel. A wispy glissando to the last, unearthly note was the final, evanescent breath of this fantastic masterpiece.
The following two pieces, Brahms ' Piano Quartet in C minor and Arnold Schoenberg's string sextet "Transfigured Night" continued to increase the emotional temperature of the evening. The latter's deep thought portrait of a spirit in the process of transformation from deathly gloom to a glowing, heavenly resolution took everybody's breath away. Transfigured Night" was Schoenberg's first major work, written in 1899, and predates the use of the 12-tone language that defined his subsequent legacy. Its thorny, complex score was provoked by a poem of the same name and is one of the apex compositions for string chamber musicians. The performance by violinists Brovstyn and Sean Avram Chippie, violists Rachlin and David Aaron Chippie and cellists Torleif Theden and Boris Andrianov was an elated experience of surging power.
Another breathtaking facet to this concert was the last-minute substitution of several violinists ( who learned their difficult parts in 48 hours ) wanted to replace the indisposed Janine Jansen. The heroes were Boris Brovstyn, Sean Avram Wood worker and the 18-year-old Miura. When I asked the teen how he felt playing with such luminaries as Rachlin, Maisky and Golan, he claimed, "When I sat across from the amazing Maisky playing his massive solos, I felt rather like a little mouse!" Thanks to Rachlin's organizational largesse, developing artists like Miura have the prerogative and valuable experience of sharing the stage with their mentors. Someday, Miura will be the older lion across from a young mouse.
From baroque to balalaika
The shocking Baroque church of St. Ignatius was the setting for a Sun. morning concert of works by Vivaldi and Bach. Later that day, Russian balalaika virtuoso Alexey Arkhipovsky entertained with his mixing of styles from folk to funk, fugue to flamenco, making the silver coloured sound of only three strings look like a symphony. He is the latter-day Paganini of the balalaika, but with a Pat Metheny approach. The festival will go on with equal quantities of chamber music and lighter-weight fare through to Sept. 8 as reported tagza.com.
