Does anyone know of a good recording of the Cello Suites played on viola? I'm using the Courante from the first suite as an audition piece for university and I've only ever gotten a good idea of how it should sound on a cello! Any recommendations would be much appreciated :) |

| индустриальная трилогия (The trilogy of industry) |
[Apr. 16th, 2010|05:27 pm] |
Work always inspired poets and artists. In a Soviet period buildings were glorified. The composer Anton Lubchenko from St.-Petersburg has just finished the new symphony, which is called «The trilogy of inudstry». The muse has visited him on the Shtokman field, on building of the railway bridge through the river Juribej, and on development field of gas resources of Sakhalin. Natalia Bandurina has heard a fragment of new product of one of the first. The author of the trilogy of industry Anton Lubchenko makes an appointment not on factory suburb.We’ve met in downtown on the area of Arts. Explains, after all here all is impregnated by it- Art. Walls helped with a symphony writing, but at first there was an inspiration, it has condescended far outside of Petersburg. The composer and conductor Anton Lubchenko says: “I have looked, as people live in -50C. I was there one day, differently I’ve simply frozen. I received an offer to look there, so I have not refused. This product not about a geographical place, but about heroes of our time” Inhuman conditions and will to win over difficulties which have joined workers on building of the railway bridge through the river Juribej before him no one had ever extolled, but he dared. Such actions have resulted in angry bloggers. The symphony “Shtokman” at listening it can be similar on “Time Forward!”, someone can see a meeting in creation of the young composer “Volga with Don” by Prokofiev, but authors claimes: “Anything similar”.This music has not something in common with communistic buildings. The art director of the project “Thetrilogy of industry” Tatyana Alekseeva says: “It all starts with the Shtockman, with images of the Barents Sea. Continues the theme of the struggle of labor. From the audience just people become witnesses - a positive response.” To achieve positive reaction, to admire the hero of our time, authors of a new musical direction carefully will select video of global building, and will set them to music. The innovative campaign also consists in it. Perhaps after that authors of articles on the Internet will temper justice with mercy, because the symphony is not finished yet, and still nobody heard it neither outside of Petersburg, nor in downtown, where the meeting with the author today has been appointed. Therefore, where to have conversations about high as not on the area of Arts under supervision of the classic? if the well-known poem was written today by other classic, it for certain would summarise:"Сould you play a nocturne on a flute of gas pipes" |

| New Violas Born |
[Nov. 10th, 2009|09:39 am] |
Hi, I am a longtime reader and watcher of this community, but have not posted in ages. I make violas for a living, thought i would share. Early in my career I decided not to make violins, a choice frowned upon by the master I studied under, and considered by many to be professional suicide. I have proved them all wrong; I drink decently priced wine, and live fairly well in Vienna off the violas. This is the 2009 Martina Filjak viola, shown in its early birth pangs.



Shown also me selecting the wood in Cremona in 2006, before I even had an inkling of an idea about what it would turn into. Martina Filjak is a pianist whose interpretations of Bartok, and many others I listened to during the construction of the viola. I wrote her an email, hoping to get free concert tickets when she plays here in Vienna. With a shaking hand steadied by loads of esspresso, i begin today varnishing....happily, nervously! |

| Arpeggione |
[Sep. 3rd, 2009|11:18 pm] |
Hey everyone ---
I'm learning the Arpeggione sonata this year and my teacher left it up to me to pick which edition I purchased. I was wondering if any of you had any recommendations.
Thanks! |
