In 2008, the ensemble, led by its artistic director, conductor and soloist Yuri Bashmet, became the only Russian holder of the most prestigious Grammy Music Award for the best performance of works by Igor Stravinsky and Sergei Prokofiev as part of a small ensemble. Today the repertoire of Moscow Soloists includes over 300 works - world classics of the classics and outstanding creations of contemporary authors, performed with amazing accuracy and grace, perfect intonation and rich sound.
"Paganini of our time," as the brilliant viola player Yuri Bashmet is called, cannot but notice the talent of the composer. "I play the piano normally," the maestro admitted after speaking at Emirates Palace. - “Once I dreamed a melody. I got up in the morning and played it. No one could figure out what it was. I was asked to include her in a concert, Mstislav Rostropovich took it. When I played him, he grabbed his head:“ Congratulations, you composed ”Requiem Mozart.
Even during the concert, I had a question: if it were possible to collect a new “mighty bunch” today, which of the greatest musicians in the world would be honored to enter it. "I would take Viktor Tretyakov, Eugene Kisin, Gedon Kremer. I will not name the deceased. Of the conductors - Valera Gergiev. When I play with him, I play better. And he also talks about me. And when we are together, you can just scald .
According to tradition, on December 31, Yuri Bashmet and his team will spend on the stage. In the same working atmosphere, the greatest musician will meet his upcoming 60th birthday: the festival in honor of the master will be held on the stage of the native hall of the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory. All friends, pupils of Yuri Bashmet from the youth symphony orchestra "New Russia" will gather, the famous Chinese composer and conductor, winner of the Dmitry Shostakovich Prize, Tan Dong, who has already managed to conquer Moscow with his talent, will come. "Everywhere we toured Russia, we listened to young people.
The winners were 78 people who became musicians of the youth symphony orchestra, the first in the country. There are amazing guys there. Especially from Yekaterinburg. Of course, I’m not talking about Moscow and St. Petersburg. We will show 14 people at the anniversary concert.
My friends will come: Kostya Khabensky, Zhenya Mironov, with whom I have been working for a long time. Valery Gergiev will conduct. We will show a real theatrical performance, ”the hero of the day shared.
Perhaps the conversation with a brilliant artist could continue indefinitely. On December 26, a hall filled with a multinational audience was bursting with applause and thanks for a truly divine game. We heartily congratulate the Moscow Soloists' team on the anniversary of their creative activity, and wish the unsurpassed virtuoso Yuri Bashmet and all his associates tremendous success at the upcoming celebrations.
