In tandem with pianist Mārtiņš Zilberts, both artists will premiere the program “The Most Beautiful Russian Romances” in Liepāja, the representatives of the concert hall informed.
The organizers of the concert pointed out: “Russian romances are one of the pearls of Russian culture. Their full-blooded, aching sound is called a reflection of the Russian soul. In the favorite series “Personally” of the listeners of Liepāja Concert Hall, we will hear romances in the performance of the charismatic tenor, owner of the outstanding voice Mikhail Chulpayev. At the piano – the award-winning pianist, concertmaster of the Latvian National Opera Mārtiņš Zilberts. ”
The concert program is created especially for “Big Amber” and will be presented to the audience for the first time. In it, the artists will perform both the lyrical romances of Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, which are familiar to the listeners, as well as introduce the concert attendees to the development of the romance genre in Russian music literature to the present day.
“The concert will take place in two parts, each part drawing the line between classical and modern. In the first part there will be an opportunity to get acquainted with the compositions of Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky and Glinka. In the second part, we will delve into the special and sometimes experimental sound of Stravinsky ‘s music, as well as the works of Sviridov, Shchedrin and other composers, “the program was introduced by tenor Mikhail Chulpayev.
