Eller lõpetas omal ajal Peterburi konservatooriumi kompositsiooni ja muusikateooria erialal. Pärast õpinguid tuli ta tagasi Eestisse, kus töötas aastail 1920–1940 Tartu kõrgemas muusikakoolis ja 1940–1970 Tallinna konservatooriumis. Ellerist sai Eesti viljakaim kompositsioonipedagoog, kelle õpilased olid ka Eduard Tubin, Arvo Pärt ja Lepo Sumera. Loomingus oli Eller puhas instrumentalist, kelle stiil ühendas klassikalisi vormi- põhimõtteid XX saj muusika väljendusvõtete ja rahvuslike intonatsioonidega. Oluline on polüfooniline ja lineaarne mõtlemine, viimistletud faktuur ja kammerlik kõlavus. Viiulimängu õppinud heliloojana on Elleri kirjutatud tähelepanuväärne osa eesti viiuli- ja keelpillikvarteti muusikast. Romantiliselt impulsiivne ja meloodiliselt haarav üheosaline viiulisonaat nr 1 a-moll on Elleri keskmise, “romantilise” Tartu perioodi olulisemaid viiuliteoseid. Püsiva populaarsuse tagas sonaadile selle viiulipärasus, muusikalise materjali kontsentreeritus ja kompaktsus ning sihikindel temaatiline areng. Viiuldaja ja helilooja Mihkel Kerem (1981) on õppinud viiulit ja kompositsiooni Eesti Muusika- ja Teatriakadeemias Mirjam Keremi, Mati Kuulbergi ja Jaan Räätsa juures. Õpingud jätkusid mõlemal erialal Londonis Kuninglikus Muusikakolledžis, alates 2002. aastast elab Mihkel Kerem Inglismaal. Kerem on mitmekülgne muusik, ta on pälvinud tunnustust nii viiuldaja kui ka heliloojana. Ta on saanud mitmeid auhindu viiuldajate konkurssidelt, tegutsenud kontsertmeistrina Eesti ja välismaa orkestrites (ERSO, Brandenburg Sinfonia, Camerata Nordica jm) ning astunud üles solistina nii Eestis kui ka mitmes teises Euroopa riigis. Sten Lassmann Arvo Pärt sündis 1935. aastal Paides, heliloomingut õppis ta Tallinna konservatooriumis Heino Elleri kompositsiooniklassis, mille lõpetas 1963. aastal. Aastail 1958–1967 töötas Arvo Pärt Eesti Raadios helirežissöörina ning tegutses hiljem vabakutselise heliloojana. 1980. aastal kolis ta Viini ning kahe aasta pärast edasi Berliini, kus ta elab tänaseni. Arvo Pärdi loomingut mängitakse kõikidel kontinentidel, tema teosed kõlavad sageli uue muusika festivalidel. Arvo Pärt on oma loometeel teinud läbi ebatavaliselt suuri stiilimuutusi. Olles kirjutanud teoseid mitmesugustes avangardistlikes kompositsioonitehnikates, hakkas ta alates 1970. aastate teisest poolest looma muusikat, mida iseloomustas äärmine lihtsus. Ta on ise selle kohta öelnud järgmist: “Ma olen avastanud, et piisab sellest kui mängida kaunilt ühtainsat nooti. See üks heli või vaikusehetk lohutab mind. Ma töötan väga väheste elementidega – ühe häälega, kahe häälega. Ehitan muusika üles lihtsatest materjalidest: kolmkõlast, ühest spetsiifilisest tonaalsusest. Kolmkõla kolm nooti kõlavad nagu kellad, sellepärast nimetan ma seda stiili tintinnabuliks (lad keeles väikesed kellad).” 1978. aastal kirjutatud “Spiegel im Spiegel” / “Peegel peeglis” on ilmekas näide helilooja tintinnabuli-stiili kompositsiooniesteetikast, milles Pärt vaid minimaalseid vahendeid kasutades toob esile muusika puhta ja rikkumatu ilu. Teos valmis vahetult enne helilooja ärasõitu Eestist. Pala, mille Arvo Pärt kirjutas algselt viiulile ja klaverile ja mida praeguseks on seatud mitmetele erinevatele kammeransamblitele ning kasutatud kümnetes filmides, on sügavalt liigutanud kuulajaid üle kogu maailma. Teose pealkiri “Peegel peeglis” peegeldab formaalselt vaadelduna viisi, kuidas see on üles ehitatud – peegeldusena. Kui hoida kaht peeglit teineteise vastas, tekib nende vahel lõppematu peegeldus. Nii on ka selle pala muusikaline ülesehitus protsess, mis võiks lõputult jätkuda: jär- jest laienevad fraasid nagu peegeldused ümber meloodilise keskpunkti, la-noodi. Rahvusvaheline Arvo Pärdi Keskus Kammermuusika loomine hõlmab Johannes Brahmsi tervet 41-aastast heliloojakarjääri, alates nooruslikust 1854. aastal loodud klaveritriost op. 8 kuni 1894. aastal kirjutatud klarnetisonaatideni op. 120. Sonaat nr 3 d-moll op. 108 on viimane Brahmsi kolmest sonaadist viiulile ja klaverile. Kõigi kolme sonaadi (samuti Brahmsi viiulikontserdi) puhul on Brahmsi inspireerinud nimekas ungari viiulivirtuoos Joseph Joachim, kellega teda sidus aastatepikkune sõprus. Brahms alustas kolmanda viiulisonaadi kirjutamist 1886. aasta suvel Šveitsis Thuni järve ääres, kus helilooja 1880. aastatel suvitas, ning lõpetas selle kaks aastat hiljem. Kolmas sonaat erineb oluliselt oma kahest eelkäijast, mida seob sarnasus nii karakteris kui ka struktuurilises ülesehituses (mõlemad on kolmeosalised). Viiulisonaat nr 3 on neljaosaline ning väljenduslikult mõttetihedam ja emotsionaalselt pingelisem kui lüürilise iseloomuga esimene ja teine sonaat. Õigustatult on kolmandat sonaati kirjeldatud sõnaga “sümfooniline”. Teose kandsid esmakordselt ette helilooja klaveril ja ungari viiuldaja Jenö Hubay (Joachimi soosik Budapesti konservatooriumis) 22. detsembril 1888 Budapestis. Brahms ja Joachim esitlesid teost Viinis 13. veebruaril 1889. Viiulisonaat nr 3 on pühendatud dirigendile ja pianistile Hans von Bülowile, kes tegi palju Brahmsi muusika propageerimiseks. Evelin Kõrvits Mikk Murdvee on õppinud viiulimängu Tallinna Muusikakeskkoolis, Eesti Muusika- ja Teatriakadeemias ning Sibeliuse Akadeemias, õpetajateks Niina Murdvee, Harald Aasa ja Mari Tampere. Aastail 2002–2007 õppis ta Sibeliuse Akadeemia dirigeerimisklassis, õppejõududeks Leif Segerstam, Atso Almila, Jorma Panula jpt. Ta on täiendanud end ka mitmetel meistrikursustel (Neeme ja Paavo Järvi, Eri Klas jt). Sügisest 2007 on ta Helsingi Ülikooli sümfooniaorkestri Ylioppilaskunnan Soittajat peadirigent ja 2011. aasta sügisest ka Tallinna Muusikakeskkooli sümfooniaorkestri peadirigent. Ta on juhatanud Eestis ERSOt, Tallinna Kammerorkestrit, EMTA sümfooniaorkestrit, Pärnu ja Haapsalu linnaorkestreid, Soomes Sibeliuse Akadeemia Sümfooniaorkestrit, Tampere, Turu, Oulu, Joensuu, Lappeenranta, Seinäjoki, Kemi, Vaasa ja Hämeenlinna linnaorkestreid, Pori ja Heinola sinfoniettasid, Londonis Kuningliku Muusikakolledži sümfooniaorkestrit ja South Bank Sinfoniat ning palju teisi orkestreid. Samuti on ta viinud Ylioppilaskunnan Soittajat turneedele Saksamaale, Poola, Taani, Rootsi ja Eestisse ning Pärnu Linnaorkestri ja TMKK sümfooniaorkestri esinema Helsingisse. Aastal 2011 oli ta kolmel korral Esa-Pekka Saloneni assistent Londoni Filharmoonia Orkestri projektides ning turneedel. 2007. aastal debüteeris ta Rahvusooper Estonias, samuti on ta juhatanud Pori ja Kerava ooperites ning töötanud assistendina Tampere Ooperis. Aastatel 2010–2012 juhatas ta Ilkka Kuusisto ooperi “Taipaleenjoki” maailmaesiettekandel ning kõiki väljamüüdud etendusi festivalil Ilmajoen Musiikkijuhlat. Praegusel ajal jätkab ta mitmekülgset koostööd Eesti ja Soome orkestritega. Dirigeerimise kõrval jätkab Mikk Murdvee rahvusvahelist karjääri nii viiuldaja, solisti, kammermuusiku kui ka kontsertmeistrina. Sten Lassmann on eesti noorema põlvkonna üks väljapaistvamaid pianiste, kes on suure tähelepanu osaliseks saanud nii kodu- kui ka välismaal. Ta on edukalt andnud soolo- ja kammerkontserte ning soleerinud mitmete orkestrite ees. Sten Lassmann on esinenud sellistes mainekates kontserdipaikades nagu Moskva konservatooriumi suur ning väike saal, Purcelli saal Londonis, Verdi saal Milanos, Glenn Gouldi stuudio Torontos ja Keelatud Linna kontserdisaal Pekingis.

    P THE GLORIOUS, TRAGIC CAREER OF ERNST MIELCK by Kimmo Korhonen In late spring 1899 the composer Ernst Mielck was struck with a serious bout of tuberculosis of the jugular gland. He underwent an operation, but the doctors did not give him much hope of recovery. By July of that year Mielck’s condition showed signs of improvement, and in the middle of August he moved to the shores of Lago di Maggiore in Locarno, Switzerland, where he was to spend the following winter. Yet in spite of the encouraging prognosis, his condition took a turn for the worse: the illness spread to his lungs and Mielck died on 22 October. He was buried in Locarno two days later – on what would have been his 22nd birthday. Mielck’s sudden death marked the premature end of a career that promised great things. He had come to prominence only a few years earlier, first as a pianist, then as a composer. In his few years of creativity he composed a body of works that, though small, nonetheless demonstrated his extraordinary talent. His output includes the first fully fledged Finnish symphony (1897), composed two years before the First Symphony of Jean Sibelius. Contemporary musical circles even viewed him as a significant challenger to Sibelius. Mielck’s career reached its zenith in December 1898, when he became the first Finnish composer to hold a concert of his own works with the Berlin Philharmonic. In spite of this success, Mielck has remained something of an outsider in the history of Finnish music. At a time when young Finnish composers were increasingly turning their attentions to national themes and a post-Wagnerian musical language, Mielck took inspiration from central-European Romanticism and the traditional compositional forms of Mendelssohn, Schumann and Brahms.

    P MIHKEL KEREM ON HIMSELF AND MUSIC I was born in 1981 in Tallinn into a family of musicians. At the age of six I started studying the violin at the Tallinn Music High School with my mother and I soon began to win diplomas and competitions, in Lithuania and the Czech Republic as well as at home. Since childhood, I have performed as a soloist around the world and as leader of a number of orchestras, roles I continue to fill in London and elsewhere in the UK. I began composition studies at the age of twelve with the Estonian composer Mati Kuulberg1 and continued at the Estonian Academy of Music with Jaan Rääts.2 After that I studied with William Mival3 at the Royal College of Music while I completed my master’s degree. I have written over a hundred compositions to date, including three symphonies, a concerto for two cellos and orchestra, nine string quartets and three sonatas for violin and piano.4 Among the musicians who have played my music are The Estonian National Symphony Orchestra and Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, the Oulu Sinfonia in Finland, Camerata Nordica in Sweden and The Chilingirian String Quartet in the UK. The three works on this CD – the Third Symphony and String Sextet written while I was still a student at the Royal College of Music and the Lamento a few years after I graduated – are very different in language and style but all three are based on the idea of representing human emotions in music. 1 Kuulberg (1947–2001), a professional violinist for the irst eight years of his career (1966–74), wrote ive symphonies, four concertos (for violin, lute, trombone and double-bass), three ballets and a good deal of chamber and instrumental music, including a number of sonatas.

    [1 6 7 9 P MIHKEL KEREM ON HIS VIOLIN SONATAS Allow me to begin with a whistle-stop biographical outline. I was born in 1981 in Tallinn into a family of musicians. At the age of six I started studying violin at the Tallinn Music High School with my mother and I soon began to win diplomas and competitions, in Lithuania and the Czech Republic as well as at home. Since childhood, I have performed as a soloist around the world and as leader of a number of orchestras, roles I continue to fill in London and elsewhere in the UK. I began composition studies at the age of twelve with Estonian composer Mati Kuulberg1 and continued at the Estonian Academy of Music with Jaan Rääts.2 After that I studied with William Mival3 at the Royal College of Music while I completed my master’s degree. I have written over one hundred compositions to date, including three symphonies, a concerto for two cellos and orchestra, nine string quartets and these three sonatas for violin and piano. Among the musicians who have played my music are The Estonian National Symphony Orchestra and Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, the Oulu Sinfonia in Finland, Camerata Nordica in Sweden and The Chilingirian String Quartet in the UK. My relationship with this project is very personal. Not only did I go to school with both of the performers, both of whom are very close in age to me, but I also shared my first composition lessons with Mikk Murdvee. 1 Estonian composer, 1947–2001. A professional violinist for the irst eight years of his career (1966–74), Kuulberg wrote ive symphonies, four concertos (for violin, lute, trombone and double-bass), three ballets and a good deal of chamber and instrumental music, including a number of sonatas.
