Today, July 27, one of the last big concerts of Maestro Raimonds Pauls was performed. Maestro announced his departure from the “big stage” last week before the concert “If You Weren’t” with the Latvian opera star Elīna Garanča.
The concert “If You Weren’t…”, which took place on July 23 and 24, and today’s concert, entitled “The Fourth Wave”, were the last major Maestro concert programs.
Maestro himself reassures the listeners that he does not intend to disappear from the stage at all and will continue to play in smaller formats: “On Tuesday I will go in front of the audience with my loved ones, old friends, and with that everything “
Maestro will also be happy to play in the theater and, as he laughs, will “return the debt to the listeners”.
The Maestro cites health as a reason for his departure from the “big stage”, which today we must especially protect: “I can no longer participate in such big programs and organize them. I already feel that it is getting a little too heavy for me. I do not want to speculate on that. I have colleagues who say goodbye to viewers every year and come back anyway. It’s getting funny. “
“Fourth Wave” today brought together the most outstanding Latvian pop musicians on stage, who performed Maestro songs so well known to everyone.
On January 12, the popular Latvian composer, a pianist whose songs, musicals, ballet performances, music for countless films, as well as many theater performances, knows every self-respecting Latvian, celebrated its 85th anniversary, and admirers of his talent always admire Maestro’s inexhaustible energy and great form. at piano concerts.
