My Teachers Part 8: Yuri Simonov
2008-05-30 01:22:00 I finish my Russian "Troika" with Yuri Simonov, the formidable ex-chief of the Bolshoi theatre in Moscow. I took part to his master class twice and saw him rehearse orchestra many times. He has easily the best control over his baton I have seen anywhere in the world! I also admire his skills of organization and his dutifulness in... Read My Teachers Part 8: Yuri Simonov

Yuri Simonov - Russian Music Society presents: Richard Wagner: Overtures
2008-02-19 15:11:00 Track: Overture: RienziExtract from IODA:Wagner's fame is concentrated on less than a dozen operas, yet his music has influenced virtually every composer who followed him and is still felt today. His work had a great bearing on the development of the orchestra, while it was his strong feelings towards the theatre which led to radical changes in the attitude of singers to the stage. Early leanings were towards the theatre, leading to his writing Leubald, a "vast tragic drama". At the same time he was secretly studying harmony and music, musical studies continuing at Leipzig University, which he entered in 1831.By 1832, as he left his-teens, Wagner had composed some music, notably a Symphony in the homely key of C major. The influence here was Beethoven, who had died only five years earlier, and for whom Wagner had a lifelong passion, convinced that he was Beethoven's natural successor.This first showed itself in Rienzi the first production of which, on 20 October 1842 in Dresden, w...

Conducting Basics by Yuri Simonov
2007-07-20 11:39:00 Amongs many other good things, we received on the Yuri Simonov master class a memo of some very basic things you should/should not do while conducting. He wrote it originally in Russian, so this new translation hopefully is a little bit more accurate on some points than the one we got on the master class. It would be wonderful to get some comments... Read Conducting Basics by Yuri Simonov

Final impressions of the Yuri Simonov master class
2007-07-15 19:20:00 Friday the 13th, the final day of the master class! Well, despite the ominous date everything went fine! I enjoyed some beautiful performances in the final orchestra rehearsal - especially Oleg Soldatov' interpretation of Don Juan by Richard Strauss! He is already an experienced conductor who gets what he wants from the orchestra. Still he is ambitious and curious enough to come to master classes to learn more! I have high respect for him! Oleg Soldatov conducting Don Juan After the rehearsal we gave roses to the orchestra players to thank them for the good work. They were a fantastic master class orchestra with a friendly but professional attitude. I am sure every participant got an honest evaluation of their skills just by listening how the orchestra played under their direction. Maestro Simonov rehearsing After that we took a bus ride to Gödöllö, to a beautiful palace where the final concert was to take place. The orchestra played in open air, in less than ideal circumstances....

On a Master Class with Yuri Simonov
2007-07-07 21:45:00 It is already the 5th day of the master class, but it took me this long to find an internet cafe where I can type with a normal speed and do not have to yield some Hungarian special keys on the keyboard... So, I am in Budapest and having a great time, working evenings with pianists and mornings with the Wagner-Liszt orchestra. I have taken some photos, but have to wait until I get to Finland to add them here. But you know, it is the usual stuff - someone conducting an orchestra or two pianos, the professor from back, the professor from side etc. etc. Someone eating or drinking, or a view from a lake... Yes, tomorrow we are actually going to have a free evening at some lake! But now to the actual masterclass stuff which for sure will interest some conducting students. Day 1: We saw maestro Simonov run through the whole master class repertoire with the Wagner-Liszt orchestra. That alone was a sight to see! He was following a pre-planned schedule to the minute! So he must have calculat...

Comisarios Simonovis, Vivas y Forero y la “justicia chavista”
2007-02-28 05:23:01 Ocurre en Venezuela. No es política, no es justicia, es la injusticia de desvirtuar las pruebas contra los comisarios Simonovis, Vivas Y Forero, los chivos expiatorios de la masacre del 11 de abril del 2002. “José Luis Tamayo, abogado de los comisarios Simonovis, Vivas y Forero implicados en los sucesos del 11 de abril de 2002, calificó el juicio que se les sigue como “un circo degradante y vergonzoso”. En su opinión, se han violado los principios constitucionales y del Código Orgánico Procesal Penal. El proceso está próximo a cumplir un ańo y se han realizado 102 audiencias, en las que han declarando 105 testigos y 44 expertos promovidos por la Fiscalía, que sólo aseguran que hubo un enfrentamiento armado entre civiles adeptos al oficialismo. Dijo que los funcionarios de la PM actuaron en defensa propia: “No pueden dar fe de que ellos incurrieron en los delitos de homicidios y lesiones”. Advirtió que se rehusarán a asistir a las audiencias y, en última insta... |
