Subcollection: Violin and Orchestra
Firma Melodiya presents an album of the remarkable violinist Liana Isakadze.
At the age of nine, while a pupil of the Tbilisi music school for gifted children, Liana Isakadze performed with a symphony orchestra for the first time, received first prize at the Trans-Caucasian Competition of Violinists at twelve, and two years later the second prize at the All-Union Competition of Performing Musicians in Moscow where she was allowed to participate despite her young age.
She was then admitted to the Moscow Conservatory without examinations, where she studied under David Oistrakh. Isakadze was awarded a Grand Prix of the at the Marguerite Long and Jacques Thibaud International Competition in Paris in 1965, the first prize at the Jean Sibelius International Competition in Helsinki and the third prize at the 4th Tchaikovsky International Competition in Moscow in 1970.
Liana Isakadze’s recordings of the concertos by Jean Sibelius and Arnold Schoenberg, made in the early 1980s with the USSR State Academic Symphony Orchestra conducted by young maestro Alexander Lazarev (he subsequently headed the Bolshoi Theatre), unveil the brightest features of the violinist’s performing style.
While the first of the concertos is very popular among all famous musicians (the jury of the Sibelius Competition awarded her a special prize for its performance), Schoenberg’s concerto is an example of Liana Isakadze artistic courage - she was and still is the only violinist in this country who included this work in her repertoire.

Firma Melodiya presents an anniversary set dedicated to Vladimir Spivakov’s 70th birthday.
This outstanding musician is well-known and loved across the world. A violinist, educator, conductor, founder and permanent leader of the chamber orchestra Moscow Virtuosi and the National Symphony Orchestra of Russia, an organizer of the charity trust that supports talented children, a director of international music festivals both in Russia and overseas, a jury member of a number of violin competitions, and the president of the Moscow International House of Music. Maestro Spivakov’s artistic and social activities only broaden through the years - he performs all over the world, renews his violin and conducting repertoire playing with some of the best soloists and conductors.
The 5-CD set features Vladimir Spivakov as both a violinist and conductor on recordings made in 1970s to 1990s. That period of performing activity and creation of the Moscow Virtuosi was a bright phase in the maestro’s career leaving an unforgettable trace in performing arts of this country and the world. The chamber pieces by Schubert, Locatelli, Franck, Debussy, Ravel, Milhaud, Bartók and Prokofiev, and virtuosic numbers by Paganini, Wieniawski and Saint-Saëns were recorded with remarkable pianists such as Viktoria Postnikova and Boris Bekhterev; one of the CDs is dedicated to Mozart (Symphony No. 28 and the Coronation Mass) while another is dedicated to Rodion Shchedrin (Carmen Suite and also Music for the Town of Köthen written especially for Spivakov).
Spivakov’s earlier unreleased concert recordings at the 4th International Tchaikovsky Competition in 1970 are of particular interest. The violinist was awarded the second prize and a silver medal at the competition for his performance of Sibelius’s and Tchaikovsky’s violin concertos, and Tchaikovsky’s, Sarasate’s and Shchedrin’s pieces. |
