| The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending April 4th 1997 reported that Yuri and Ludmila Fedorov had toured France and Spain. The 1990s was the decade in which it became possible for artistes from Russia and other former USSR countries to freely tour internationally. This development has culturally enriched Western countries, and in the process has greatly benefited the accordion fraternity worldwide. YURI AND LUDMILA FEDOROV TOUR OF FRANCE AND SPAIN Contributed by Tatiana Lanchtchikova Yuri and Ludmila Fedorov recently spent a month in France during which they toured the provinces, giving many concerts that were all well received. While there, they were also invited by the Arts and Music association to perform five concerts in Madrid, Spain, from 25th to 29th March. Yuri Fedorov is an accordion soloist with the Kiev Philharmonic, a former soloist with the Red Army, and has won many competitions, including a Gold Medal at the 1986 Coupe Mondiale in Warsaw, a Laureat from Klingenthal (1994) and a first prize in the National Accordion Competition in Odessa, Ukraine, in 1981. He is a graduate of the Kiev Conservatory and currently a teacher there, along with his wife Ludmila. At 39 years old, Fedorov is part of the new generation of Russian performers. He is often accompanied by Ludmila, who is a soprano with the Kiev Philharmonic and sings and plays the bandoura, a beautiful 15th Century Ukrainian instrument. They play some classical melodies by Mozart, Caccini, Bach, Gonoud, but mostly play traditional Ukrainian and Russian music. Fresh, spontaneous and meticulous are words which have been used to describe the duo's performance, and they always leave their audience enchanted. |
