Domi
Emorine e Roman Jbanov, conosciuti come Paris-Moscow
Duo, hanno celebrato il loro 10° anniversario con un concerto
alla scuola di fisarmonica dell’incantevole cittadina Alsace
Haguenau, da dove, nel 1998, partì la loro carriera congiunta.
L’orchestra di fisarmoniche della scuola, diretta da Raimond
Keith, ha aperto il concerto con brani di W. Kahl, H. Költz,
A. Piazzolla, W. Jacobi, Y. Derbienko, A. Jurbin e B. Tichonov.

composizioni di F. Angelis, N.Rizol, A.Astier e M. Azzola, A. Shalaiev,
E. Bouvelle e M. Larcange, e infine Viacheslav

Alla fine del concerto,
Domi e Roman hanno ricevuto una grande torta e una bottiglia di Champagne.
Il 20 di Gennaio il noto fisarmonicista, compositore e cantante russo Aidar Gainullin ha preso parte alla cerimonia della consegna dei riconscimenti del prestigioso Premio Culturale del giornale tedesco BZ (“il giornale di Berlino”) del 2008.
Questo premio internazionale è proposto per le stelle internazionali di musica, cinema e teatro per i loro contributi al progresso della cultura. Quest’anno hanno preso parte alla cerimonia l’attore di Hollywood Tom Cruise e la cantante francese Mireille Mathieu. Aidar Gainullin è stato invitato dopo il suo concerto alla Big Hall of the Berlin Philharmonic Society del 5 Novembre 2007, dove si è esibito con la famosa Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Questo concerto è stato trasmesso dalla radio tedesca, ed gli ha portato molti nuovi ammiratori.
Alla
cerimonia Aidar ha interpretato musiche di Alfred Schnittke
e Astor Piazzolla. Durante la presentazione finale Mireille Mathieu
ha avvicinato Aidar dicendogli di aver sempre amato Mosca e canzoni
come ‘Notti di Mosca’ e ‘Occhi neri’. Poi
ha cominciato a cantare e Aidar si è unito spontaneamente interpretando
insieme a lei ‘Occhi neri’.
Aidar Gainullin, diplomato all’Accademia della Musica Gnessin,
Russia, vive oggi a Berlino dove studia alla Hanns Eisler-University
of Music. Nel 2003 il nome di Aidar è stato aggiunto al ‘Libro
d’Oro’ dei talenti della Russia dal Presidente Vladimir
Putin, per i grandi risultati nella sfera dell’arte del bayan.
Nello stesso anno Aidar ha ricevuto molte borse di studio dal fondo
M.Rostropovich, Friedrich
Lips ‘Russian Performing Art’. Nel 2006 è stato
insignito dei premi ‘Best of the best’ e ‘Giovane
talento di Russia’.
Aidar
ha anche ricevuto premi per il suo talento di compositore: 20°
premio nazionale ‘Nika’ (‘Oscar’ russo) e
‘L’elefante Bianco’ dalla critica cinematografica
per la nomination per la migliore colonna sonora del 2006 per
il film ‘Euphoria’. In questo momento Aidar sta lavorando
per la musica del nuovo film di Ivan Vyrypayev ‘Oxygen’.
Come concertista Aidar è costantemente in tournée nel
mondo, e le sue date sono già programmate per molti mesi. Suona
spesso in famosi palcoscenici europei ; nel mese di Giugno prenderà
parte ad un concerto solenne di fronte a molti politi e uomini d’affari
a Londra. Anche Elton John dovrebbe essere presente.

'OPERA?' by Renzo Ruggieri was premiered at the Teatro Polifunzionale,
Pineto, Italy, on January 26th 2008. Ruggieri is an Italian accordionist
famous for his jazz performances. As a solo player and as leader of
the Renzo Ruggieri Group (RRG: Massimo Moriconi, Paolo di Sabatino,
Glauco di Sabatino) he has performed around the world and recorded
several CDs in this genre.
In recent years he has explored the boundaries of his instrument recording
'Solo Accordion Project', a haunting combination of acoustic, electronic
and recording effects. He has also had important collaborations with
other instrumental groups and artistes, most notably the Italian singer
- Antonella Ruggiero - on 'Souvenir d'Italie' in 2006.
His latest work naturally draws on all these influences and the cultural
roots provided by three of Italy's greatest composers: Verdi, Rossini
and Puccini, and arguably their greatest works 'La Traviata', 'The
Barber of Seville', and 'Tosca'.
'Opera?' is a story set to music in five scenes. Ruggieri cleverly
combines three protagonists and their actions from the above operas:
the letter of Figaro, Alfredo's jealousy and Tosca's suicide. Against
a (deliberate) plain dark background an actor (the powerful Paolo
Perelli) foretells each scene in spoken word.
He has no script to follow, merely the outline of the story, he is
improvising both content and delivery. Such is his variation that,
at times, his change from a soft whisper to cries of anguish have
the audience almost out of their seats. In the background, the accordion
of Ruggieri follows the actor's lead occasionally joined by other
members of the RRG. It is in these moments that the audience is asked
to relive their own similar experiences or question their own emotion
and choices.
When
the scene has been set the chamber orchestra (directed by Massimiliano
Caporale), another vital element of the spectacle, is involved and
envelopes our thought process. Ruggieri is always melodic in his composition
for the orchestra.
At times the strings come to the forefront, at others they enrich
the continual improvisation of the RRG or provide musical acknowledgements
of all three past masters. The RRG still has time for their own expressive
jazz solos seemingly never out of place in a musical story with origins
spanning the last two centuries.
Using these origins as inspiration, Ruggieri expresses his own 'italianality'
and make us reflect on love, decisions and time so precious. He has
provided a unique work that deserves further exposure and performances.

Grandiosa apertura della quindicesima stagione concertistica organizzata
dal Comune di Gavirate (VA), in collaborazione con l'Accademia Sant'Agostino,
quella di venerdì sera, 18 gennaio, con il concerto inaugurale
che ha visto gli archi dell'Orchestra Luchesi, diretti dal Maestro
Davide Antonio Rizzo, accompagnare i solisti Mario Milani, alla fisarmonica,
Elena Cosentino, all'arpa.
La serata, dal titolo "South American Rythms",
si è aperta con tre deliziosi brani di Aldemaro Romero, compositore
argentino contemporaneo, tratti dalla Suite de Castelfidardo, per
continuare con il doppio concerto per fisarmonica, arpa e orchestra
d'archi dal titolo Emotions, in tre movimenti composto
dal M° Mario Milani, sublime connubio di musica classica, jazz
e ritmi argentini, eseguito in anteprima assoluta.
Il concerto per bandoneon, pianoforte, arpa, percussioni e orchestra
d'archi "Acongaua" ha concluso l'applauditissimo concerto,
che è stato arricchito ulteriormente da due bis, richiesti
insistentemente dal pubblico in sala. L'Orchestra Giovanile Andrea
Luchesi nasce nel 2004 a Tradate, grazie all'entusiasmo di giovani
e talentuosi strumentisti che, guidati dal giovane Direttore d'Orchestra
Davide Antonio Rizzo, allievo di Yoichi Sugyiama ed Emilio Pomarico,
sono cresciuti in questi anni, arrivando ad esibirsi in gran parte
della Lombardia e del Piemonte, con repertori sempre nuovi ed interessanti,
all'insegna della riscoperta di autori del '700 e dell'800, ingiustamente
esclusi dai programmi da concerto.
Nell'anno 2006 il percorso dell'Orchestra si incrocia con quello
di Mario Milani, fisarmonicista di fama internazionale nonchè
compositore, ed è proprio in occasione di alcuni concerti
in programma per il Natale 2006 che l'Orchestra Luchesi esegue l'Adagio
dal Doppio Concerto per fisarmonica, arpa e orchestra, composto
dal M° Mario Milani. All'arpa Elena Cosentino, che da
anni suona a fianco del M° Milani nel Duo Millemiglia.
Concerti riuscitissimi che raccolgono consensi di critica e di pubblico.
