The Holiday Julian Rachlin & Chums, Now In Its 11th Year, Has Presented Chamber Music Concerts From Late August And Will Continue Thru Early September.
The town of Dubrovnik, found at the southernmost tip of Croatia on the Adriatic coast, is aglow with the music of summer holidays. From July ten to August. Twenty-five, the town hosted five weeks of music, theater and dance at its 62nd yearly Dubrovnik Summer Festival.
The Holiday Julian Rachlin & Pals, now in its 11th year, has presented chamber music concerts from late August and will continue thru early Sep. It was founded by violinist Julian Rachlin, who chose the city as an ideal place to offer creative and colourful projects with musicians of global 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 prior centuries. Many Renaissance-era buildings are used as locales for musical performances. For the Holiday Rachlin & Friends, the fifteenth century Rector's Palace is the primary place for this year's thirteen concerts, starting with Zubin Mehta conducting the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra. As well as performing standard classical stock, Rachlin commissions new works from composers. In the first three days of Sep, three new works by French-Swiss composer Richard Dubugnon were highlighted, each one painting an entirely different and unique view of the cosmos.
Eloquent chamber music
On Sept. One the programme included 2 examples of Russian romantic stock : Anton Arensky's Quartet No. 2 for violin, viola and 2 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 forwards and backwards from violin to viola with split-second timing for three movements of virtuoso playing. Exhibiting many moods and colours, most notably the wonderful muted impressionism of the slower second movement, this piece is memorable for its electrified energy level through and was amplified by the kinetic performance by Rachlin and Golan. Dubugnon also dug satisfyingly deep into the velvety, varnished colour of the viola, exploring its capacity for drama more than most do.
Sept. 2's programme was devoted to the sufferers of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. 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 Folks Tune" for two violins and piano. In it, the composer took "Red Dragonflies" by Aka Tombo and made a shimmering, attractive seven-part theme with divergences. It was performed by Tokunaga and Rachlin, with Sophie Rachlin ( Julian's mother ) on the piano. While the prior night's composition employed a less tonal and more rhythmically focused 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 utilised the imaginary symbol of a young girl's doll to memorialise the Fukushima disaster.
Sept. Three was titled "Concert in White," to which everyone was requested to wear white clothing ; effectively, the crowd became a fun fashion show without the runway. The programme consisted of three highly emotional compositions whose characters appeared to reflect the steaming hot weather. Dubugnon's "Three Pieces for Violin and Piano" ( wonderfully played by Boris Brovstyn and Golan ) is destined to become a hot item within violin repertoire. It is an stunningly tender duet, as if the piano and violin were in a lovers ' embrace. The 3 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, supernatural note was the final, evanescent breath of this fantastic masterwork.
The subsequent 2 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 soul searching portrait of a spirit in the process of change from deathly gloom to a glowing, heavenly resolution took everybody's breath away. Transfigured Night" was Schoenberg's first major work, drafted in 1899, and predates the utilisation of the 12-tone language that outlined his subsequent bequest. Its thorny, complex score was inspired by a poem of the same name and is one of the pinnacle 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 a rapturous experience of steaming power.
Another astounding aspect to this concert was the last-minute substitution of a few violinists ( who learned their tricky parts in forty eight hours ) needed to replace the indisposed Janine Jansen. The heroes were Boris Brovstyn, Sean Avram Carpenter and the 18-year-old Miura. When I asked the teen how he felt playing with such luminaries as Rachlin, Maisky and Golan, he said, "When I sat across from the amazing Maisky playing his massive solos, I felt rather like a little mouse!" Thanks to Rachlin's organizational munificence, developing artists like Miura have the prerogative and valuable experience of sharing the stage with their coachs. Someday, Miura will be the older lion across from a young mouse.
From baroque to balalaika
The striking Baroque church of St. Ignatius was the setting for a Sun. morning concert of works by Vivaldi and Bach. Later that day, Russian balalaika expert Alexey Arkhipovsky entertained with his mixing of styles from folk to funk, fugue to flamenco, making the silvery sound of only three strings look like a symphony. He is the modern Paganini of the balalaika, but with a Pat Metheny approach. The holiday will keep going with equal amounts of chamber music and lighter-weight fare thru to Sept. 8 as reported tagza.com.
