Alexander Mitenev Returns, Kaliningrad - Russiaby Yuri Boldin |
 Russian bandoneonist Alexander Mitenev, presently living and studying in the Netherlands, played a concert in the most western region of Kaliningrad in Russia. The concert took place in the Russian-German Cultural Centre and hosted a capacity audience of 300. Alexander Mitenev played tango compositions by Anibalo Troilo, Enrique Delfino, Francisco de Caro, and his own transcriptions for bandoneon from different music genres.In the second part of the concert Alexander was accompanied by Miroslav Lelyukh on accordion and pianist Grigory Palamarchuk, and this trio played music by Astor Piazzolla. Alexander (previously an accordion student of Professor Nikolay Kravtsov, St. Petersburg), started working closely together with tango communities since 2005, playing on numerous milongas and festivals. These include ‘Tango of White Nights’ (Russia), ‘Sata-Hame Soi’ (Finland), ‘Tango Fest’ (Sweden), and ‘Ransater Festival’ (Sweden). In 2005 Alexander bought his first ‘Alfred Arnold’ bandoneon, and was self-taught, including it step by step into his performances. The following year, 2006, Alexander appeared as a soloist in the premiere of the opera ‘Maria de Buenos Aires’ in Moscow, together with Pablo Zinger, Leonardo Granados, Juan Villareal, and other great musicians. In 2007 Alexander Mitenev began studies in Rotterdam Conservatory with maestros Leo Vervelde, Victor Hugo Villena and Gustavo Beytelmann. |
