  • Youtube's Classical Music Star Valentine Lisitsa Comes To
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE USE YouTube’s classical music star Valentine Lisitsa comes to Edinburgh’s Usher Hall Sunday Classics: Russian Philharmonic of Novosibirsk 3:00pm, Sunday 12 May 2019 Thomas Sanderling - Conductor Valentina Lisitsa - Piano Rimsky-Korsakov - Capriccio espagnol Rachmaninov - Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini Mussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition Images available to download here Powerhouse all-Russian programme including Rachmaninov’s tender take on Paganini YouTube sensation Valentina Lisitsa is nothing less than a modern marvel. A brilliant pianist of the Russian old school who plays with fiery intensity and profound insight, she is also a musical evangelist who has taken classical music to millions through her online videos. Having posted her first video on YouTube in 2007, viewing figures soon exploded and more videos followed. The foundations of a social media-driven career unparalleled in the history of classical music were laid. Her YouTube channel now boasts more than 516,000 subscribers and over 200 million views. No wonder she’s in demand right across the world: her unprecedented global stardom is matched by her breath-taking playing. Lisitsa has long adored the romance and power of Rachmaninov and following her electrifying performance of his Third Piano Concerto at the Usher Hall in 2018, she makes a welcome return with the passionate Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Niccolò Paganini’s famous piece has been adored and interpreted by many a composer, including Brahms, but it’s Rachmaninov’s take on the classic that sees it as its tenderest, and wittiest. He moulds the main theme into musical styles and interpretations previously unheard, and there is no finer pianist to bring this to the Usher Hall than Valentina Lisitsa.

  • Cele Mai Cunoscute Orchestre Simfonice Din Lume
    Scris de cristina.mihalascu pe 24 octombrie 2010, 16:57 Cele mai cunoscute orchestre simfonice din lume - Sinteza unt ansambluri muzicale care au supravietuit regimurilor politice si razboaielor, care s-au adaptat schimbarilor vremii, dar care au ramas fidele stilului clasic de muzica. Cu moneda proprie sau nu, cu dirijori faimosi, cu propriile case de discuri si cu premii internationale, orchestrele simfonice ale lumii sunt calatorii muzicale catre desavarsirea sunetului. usa_chicago_orchestrahall_3.jpg Pe langa muzica, ele spun istoria. In fata modei, ele impun statornicia. Despre istoria institutiilor care au pastrat vie muzica culta, puteti citi in frazele care urmeaza. Trei publicatii de prestigiu dedicate industriei muzicale clasice, printre care monteverdi.tv, gramophone.co.uk si musolife.com, considera ca urmatoarele cinci orchestre simfonice sunt cele mai importante din lume: Orchestra Regala Amsterdam (Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam) Pe 11 aprilie 1888, dupa ani de pregatiri, sala de concerte a orasului Amsterdam, Concertgebouw, a fost in mod oficial deschisa. In sfarsit, Amsterdam avea propriul templu al muzicii si foarte repede s-a dovedit a fi una dintre cele mai bune sali de concerte. O jumatate de an mai tarziu, pe 3 noiembrie 1888, Orchestra Concertgebouw a sustinut primul sau concert. Sub bageta dirijorilor Willem Kes si Willem Mengelberg, in scurt timp a devenit unul dintre cele mai importante ansambluri muzicale ale Europei. In 1897, compozitorul Richard Strauss vorbea de aceasta orchestra in termenii: “cu adevarat magnifica, plina de vigoare si de entuziasmul tineresc”, iar la inceputul secolului XX, sute de compozitori si dirijori au venit in Amsterdam sa cante alaturi de faimoasa orchestra.
