"The pearls of chamber music" series. Performers: Ekaterina Mechetina (piano), Nikita Borisoglebsky (violin), Sergey Antonov (cello). The program includes compositions by Dvořák, P. Tchaikovsky. Ekaterina Mechetina’s voyage as a professional artist is relatively young but already rich in events, and one is struck not only by the swift impetuosity of her upward flight to the musical Olympus, but also by her gradual but irresistible advance to the summits of musical mastery. However, there is one factor that stands out in Mechetina’s journey; although she can boast many successful performances at international contests, she does not owe her well-deserved reputation to these. Her secret lies not only in her constantly maturing talent, but also in her keen interest in the broader musical field - and a relentless desire to expand her demanding music well beyond the limits of the typical competition repertoire. Being one of the brightest musicians of the younger generation, Nikita Borisoglebsky has been generally recognized after his brilliant appearance at the XIII International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow (2007). His talent was marked with Russian and international awards and scholarships as those from the "Yamaha" Performance Arts fund, "Russian Performance Art" fund, Moscow Conservatory's and Russian government grants. Sergey Antonov is a cellist for the ages. Hailed in his early 20's as "a brilliant cellist" by no less than Mstislav Rostropovich, he has blossomed into an artist of great warmth and musical brilliance. One of the youngest awardees of the prestigious Tchaikovsky medal in Moscow, Antonov plays with near technical perfection and a fully mature sense of line. Gnesin Hall Na Povarskoi |
