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. |

Firma Melodiya presents a boxed set titled “International Tchaikovsky Competition. Phonographic Documents (1958-1986)”.
The first ever Soviet music tournament instantly became one of the world’s most prestigious competitions. The piano jury was chaired by Emil Gilels for many years, while David Oistrakh and Mstislav Rostropovich headed the violin and cello juries, respectively. Alexander Sveshnikov, an outstanding choirmaster and chancellor of the Moscow Conservatory, was a chairman of the vocal jury. For the fifty years of its existence, the Tchaikovsky Competition discovered numerous distinguished performers such as Van Cliburn, Vladimir Ashkenasi, Grigory Sokolov, Eliso Virsaladze, John Lill, Michail Pletnev, Viktor Tretiakov, Gidon Kremer, Vladimir Spivakov, Oleg Kagan, Natalia Gutman, Elena Obraztsova, Maria Gulegina, Vladimir Atlantov, Yevgeny Nesterenko and Paata Burchuladze to name but a few. The set captures the brightest moments of eight Tchaikovsky Competitions in all categories. The recordings, including a number of never-before-released ones, were made immediately during the competition auditions
and at the prize-winners’ recitals. The release is dedicated to the 175th anniversary of the great Russian composer. |

All of Paganini´s 24 Capriccios as played by Jana Herajnová, soloist of the Czech Nonet. The violinist´s way of interpretation together with her period Italian gut-stringed violin lend the recording the kind of authenticity that makes you feel like being at an early 19th century salon.
Jana Herajnová (1956) graduated from the Prague Academy of Performing Arts as a student of Prof. Alexandr Plocek (1976-1980). Apart from that, she attended senior courses with Prof. Nathan Milstein in Zurich in 1979. Her own father, headmaster of the Nový Bor school of music, was her first teacher. In 1971, she started attending the Teplice conservatoire under the guidance of Prof. Jiřina Dlouhá. She took part in a number of contests at horne (first prize in the Beethoven Hradec competition in Opava 1971, and the Ševčík Competition in Písek, 1984) and abroad (diploma in the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, 1983, finalist in the Markneukirchen Contest in 1983). She also worked as a music teacher at the conservatoires of Pardubice, Teplice and Prague.
Since 1995, she has been first violinist of the Czech Nonet apart from appearing as a soloist. Featuring prominently in her repertoire are compositions for solo violin (Paganini but also Isaye, Reger, Ernst, Luboš Fišer, Lukáš) and sonatas for violin and piano. As for present-day production, she has presented violin concertos by American composers William Thomas McKinley, John Biggs, and Jerome "David Qoodman (in co-operation with the American com-pany Master Musicians Collective).
Jana Herajnová first performed Paganini's Capricci, a work rarely heard at concerts, in Prague in 1994. The present recording was made in a record time of a mere four days according to Carl Flesh's critical edition. Her authentic instrument (a Felice Beretta violin of 1779) hélps to conjure up what Paganinťs era regarded as the ideál sound. |

Historical Recording
The program presents two great musicians of the 20th century - the Soviet violinists David Oistrakh and Leonid Kogan. They both lived and worked at the same time becoming the glory of the Soviet violin school. Even though Oistrakh was older and was already a mature musicianwhen Kogan became famous they respected each other and were friends for their entire lives. Theirartistic careers had much in common: both came from Jewish families, Oistrakh from Odessa and Kogan from Dnepropetrovsk, both were child prodigies and both were very lucky with their first and only teachers: Oistrakhwas taught by the outstanding teacher of the Odessa "talent factory" PyotrStolyarskyandKogan’s teacher was the famous professor of the Moscow Conservatory Abram Yampolsky. Both violinists started performingat an early age, both became winners of the most prestigious competitions and later both became professors of the Moscow Conservatory. |
