VI Arts Festival “MYSTERY” is an event in the cultural life of the capital. Combining creative efforts modern musicians, dancers, artists... and artists who worked in the 18th-19th centuries - will create an amazing miracle effect. The legendary atmosphere of the era, permeated with the idleness of the Russian estate, in a paradoxical combination with nostalgic and refined courtliness, awaits today's viewers.

The first concert amazes with the selection of performers - an organ and a saxophone quartet. The combination is unexpectedly harmonious. The next concert is an organ with a duduk. An even more paradoxical consonance. But the surprises don't end there. On the same day - tango! Dance legend of the 20th century on the parquet floor of a noble mansion in the interiors of the 19th century. The further program of the festival will also pleasantly surprise and delight. You will find both well-known works and lesser-known music – but no less wonderful for that reason. Within the walls of the ancient estate, masterpieces of various eras and styles will come to life - from baroque and classic to modernity.

The sophistication of the interiors of a noble estate... classical music, time-tested... passion dance movement- an artistic product of the highest standard that will make your imagination nostalgically sad about... the possible. The very “possible” thing that will happen right before your eyes. It is no coincidence that the festival received such a mysterious name - like participants in ancient Greek theatrical mysteries, each guest will feel chosen, initiated into the amazing mystery of creativity.

The combination of organ sounds with the timbre of a saxophone quartet is new, in a long-familiar one. The ancient sounds modern, the modern sounds unexpected.

Have you ever heard people talk musical instruments? No, not within the limits of the pitch prescribed by the composer, but as it happens in life - alternating cues, listening and not listening to each other, arguing or agreeing. The space of the colonnade will be filled with the divine sounds of the classics. The Bel Canto Foundation invites guests to witness a unique conversation between an organ and a saxophone quartet. What are they going to talk about? About Bach, Vivaldi, Marcello, Piazzolla... you never know what? The good thing about a conversation between old friends is that you never know what conclusions the end of the concert will lead to. Only one thing is clear - it will be excitingly interesting.

Bach and Handel in one concert. This makes it possible to travel back to the era of the titans - when the sky spoke to the earth in the language of music... the organ sounded like an orchestra... the orchestra sounded like an organ...

Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel never met. This is all the more strange since they were born in the same year, 80 miles from each other. And in the future, until Handel left for England, they were constantly within mutual territorial proximity - Germany is not that big. Both certainly knew and appreciated each other's work. Both are brilliant composers. But... it didn’t work out. However, history has long put everything in its place. Bach sounds in concert next to Handel. And there is no element of competition in this. Rather, on the contrary - it is precisely this comparison that makes it possible to obtain the most comprehensive picture of that great era. An era glorified by unattainable artistic breakthroughs - when the sky spoke to the earth in the language of music, when the organ sounded like an orchestra, and the orchestra sounded like an organ, when fashionable secular music did not hide her spiritual origins, and the composers were universal. An era in which the life paths of two greatest contemporaries never crossed. It's a pity. They would have something to talk about.

Duduk and organ invite you to their joint concert. Baroque and modernity, classics and folk tradition - within the walls of a noble estate.

The closer to the sky, the wider the horizons. The opportunity to take in vast expanses of space - what could be more tempting? By combining the centuries-old history of music in one concert, combining the organ with the duduk, we will take advantage of the amazing chance to create a miracle. We intertwine different genres and trends, confronting consequences with origins. The organ once originated from folk instruments. But the duduk, a folk instrument, looks great next to its majestic relative, in no way inferior to it in expressiveness and depth. Folk music competes with baroque and romance. But the roots of the classics are in folk tradition. A full-flowing river flows from a stream. And the surname Bach is translated as... stream. Everything is interconnected and harmonious. Like the facets of a diamond, differences sparkle. But they are united by beauty and harmony.

Tango is the passion of dance, drawing you in like a funnel. The best dancers, the best musicians - in the atmosphere of an old Russian estate.

And again - tango, whose passionate rhythms burn hearts with lava of sensual exaltation. He and she, yes and no, light and darkness - balance on the naked edge of irreconcilable contradictions, creating a miracle of harmony. This is tango. Absorbing the energy of opposites, the dance leads you, forcing you to breathe in unison with fierce emotion, opening up the horizons of the unknown. And the subconscious obediently follows him, without the slightest attempt at resistance - he is fascinated by the phenomenon of unbridled courage. Attractive courage, giving the energy of happiness, opening the door to the worlds of the subconscious. But tango and about everyday life. You just need to surrender to the music and hear the pulsating heart of time in the biting rhythm of the dance.

The wonderful Canadian organist Andre Knevel will perform works by Bach, Mozart and Liszt. Great music for a great instrument.

The world of the organ is great and vast. Each sound has its own special character, in each consonance there is the universe. We reverently listen to the singing of organ pipes, thanking the Almighty for the miracle given to us. The voice of the organ is the sublime ideal of earthly dreams. The melody, infused with polyphonic fermentation, calls to the sky... the bass, making the walls of the cathedral tremble, reminds of the greatness of the Creator. And all this - in an unusually beautiful embodiment of countless timbres, comparable to the timbres of a huge orchestra. Anyone who hears the sound of an organ at least once falls in love with it forever.

An amazing opportunity to compare the approaches of two great composers to the theme of “the seasons.” Different styles, different means. But the genius of the solution is amazing.

"Seasons". Among wide circles of music lovers, this name is equally associated with Antonio Vivaldi and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Both of these versions of the same theme are equally loved by us. Written in different eras, in different countries, the works of geniuses are united not only by a common approach to the sense of time, when, through displaying the variability of nature, the life path of each of us is shown. Despite all the differences in means, the greats wrote about man, about his inner beauty, its place in the universe. The four violin concertos created by the brilliant Venetian of the Baroque era are innovatively romantic. Their emotional range is bright and fresh - even from the point of view of our today's perception. Tchaikovsky's creation, for all its classical perfection of form and romantic sincerity, is also absolutely alive and modern. The true does not become obsolete.

Irish and Scottish bagpipes. Compare and admire. The element of music in perfect instrumental embodiment. It's impossible not to fall in love

If someone tells you that all English bagpipes are the same, do not believe this person. Either he doesn't know anything or he's trying to deceive you. The loud Scottish bagpipe is an instrument created for war and parades. She always and everywhere accompanied the great soldiers of the Scottish army. Irish bagpipes softer, more aristocratic. Her voice is more gentle, thoughtful. The ranges are also different. Compared to two whole chromatic ones in the Irish one, there is one octave in the Scottish one. The Scottish basses are fixed fifths, while the Irish basses allow you to vary the pitch. The tools also differ in the way air is supplied into the bag. If the Scottish one is essentially a typical wind instrument, air is blown into it through a tube, then the Irish one is somewhat closer to an organ, the air supply into it is mechanical, through bellows.

But it is impossible to give primacy to any of the bagpipes. Both are great - each in their own way. And both are incredibly popular.

The romance of saxophone sound in the interior of an old Russian estate. Bach, Gluck, Gershwin and Piazzolla - the best possible.

Romance is a dream. Romance is hope. The hardest hearts, secretly from themselves, long for romance. And also... they have a touching love for the saxophone. Because the saxophone is romance, in its purest form. The voice of the saxophone is the secret desires expressed by the singing soul, feelings embodied by sound. Listening to the saxophone, we talk to ourselves - beautiful, unexpected, uninhibited. The way that, deep down, we would like to be. Perhaps this is why the heart never gets tired of enjoying the exciting timbre of the saxophone. After all, perceiving the voice of a saxophone is, in essence, finding oneself. Saxophone is a dream. Saxophone is hope. Saxophone - romance. Take a step towards yourself...

Comparing the music of Bach and Wagner, find similarities in different things, trace the differences in methods of approaching music. But the main thing is to enjoy the brilliant music!

Germany of the 19th century gave us many brilliant composers. But even among other greats, Richard Wagner stands apart. Creator of a new musical language, creator German opera- he boldly experimented. Wagner's melody, permeated with a system of leitmotifs, is not at all similar to the melodious beauties of his Italian contemporaries. She is lively, emotional, passionate. And, at the same time, rational, verified. The combination of the incongruous gave an amazing result, which still continues to attract with its still unsolved mystery.

The main organist of the Dome Cathedral performs popular classics and wonderful, in their uniqueness, her own arrangements for organ.

Organ classics... What comes to mind first when hearing these words? Of course, Bach's fantasy toccata in D minor, whose dynamic waves are akin to an ocean tsunami. And, inspired by the toccata, a mathematically flawless fugue that accumulates the energy of the cosmos. And then there's the Passacaglia, whose unyielding bassline sounds like rock. Albinoni's Adagio is one of the pinnacles of world classics. The story told by the music is tragic, sublime... and incredibly beautiful. Mussorgsky’s “Bogatyr Gate” is so monumental that it simply begs to be transcribed by organ. But “Baba Yaga”, from the same “Pictures at an Exhibition”, is a surprise. I wonder how exactly the Russian character folk tales will fly out to the listeners from shiny organ pipes? Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" is an absolute classic. But the organ began to sound relatively recently - thanks to the brilliant arrangement of Evgenia Lisitsyna. She will also perform the famous “Spring”. Just like all the other works listed above.

"Peer Gynt" is a great classic work that glorified Norway and its folklore. Favorite music, beautifully performed!

There are legends that powerfully attract people. Reading into the depths of their philosophical subtext, we again and again find answers to today's questions - surprised and rejoicing at the miracle of unchanging empathy. One such legend is the story of Peer Gynt, told in the 19th century by Henrik Ibsen. We enjoy immersing ourselves in the charm of fiction... intensely absorbing the sound of a bygone era... And even though the realities of those times have long since lost their relevance, and the conventions of dramatic writing are in some ways even naive. We are drawn to the mystery of a masterpiece created long ago, but such a piercing one. And then there is the music of the great Edvard Grieg, which is also... Peer Gynt. The melody animates the text, the word awakens the music. We are listening.

A wonderful work by the great Italian violinist - again in the luxurious interiors of a Russian estate. The traditions of the 19th century are being revived.

Every composer dreams of creating something that will be admired centuries later. After all, in this way, the creator’s connection to eternity arises. We don’t know what Antonio Vivaldi was thinking when creating his “Seasons”... most likely, he simply enjoyed the successful melodies and harmonies - inspiration is so exciting! But we know something that contemporaries had no idea about - the red-haired Venetian priest managed to create a miracle. His genius turned out to be subject to hearts and souls, feelings and minds... “Seasons” is music that unites humanity. They are the unchanging code of our cultural self-identification. And... constant listening pleasure. The master loved and knew how to compose music. It's no coincidence that instrumental concerts he wrote over 500!

The unique trio “Bel Canto” invites you to their concert. Organ, duduk and saxophone. Have you ever seen anything like this?

Organ, duduk and saxophone. The unexpected composition of this trio causes surprise and delight. Surprise - because this has never happened in the entire thousand-year history of music. Delight - because there is an amazing opportunity to hear the magical consonance of legendary instruments. The organ is almost the same age European civilization, the saxophone was invented only less than two hundred years ago, the duduk is a folk instrument, despite its centuries-old history, which only came out on the classical concert stage in the twentieth century. Just recently, such an ensemble seemed impossible. But thanks to the meeting of wonderful musicians: duduk player Khosrov Manukyan, organist Ivan Ipatov and saxophonist Mikhail Troshin, a miracle happened. And the point is not even that each of the ensemble members is a magnificent soloist, with numerous victories at international competitions behind them (and this is exactly the case!) - but that as a result of the creative collaboration something completely new arose, which has no analogues in modern performance, nor in all previous history. Each of the trio's musicians is multifaceted and unpredictable. Organist Ivan Ipatov - composer and pianist, duduk player Khosrov Manukyan - pianist, sound engineer and arranger, saxophonist Mikhail Troshin - master of jazz improvisation and a wonderful classical musician. They are very different, but they were all united by the search for something new. The enormous success that accompanies each performance of the Bel Canto Trio is a natural result of tireless work, continuous search, and the complementarity of the versatility of the performing and personal talents of the ensemble members.

By writing music for the ballet, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky created a miracle. And the point here is not even that this music (like everything from him!) is brilliant. But the fact that ballet music began to sound valuable in itself turned out to be new and unexpected. Instead of the usual rhythmic, unobtrusive accompaniment of the dance, the surprised audience heard a work of symphonic scope. Music: with an infinitely beautiful melody... climaxes comparable to mountain ranges... a rhythm that pulsates like life itself. And all this turned out to be incredibly convenient for dancing. It is logical that suites from these ballets were immediately heard from the concert stage. And they still sound - with enormous, undiminished success.

New tones of familiar classics. Bach and Vivaldi meet Gershwin and Piazzolla. The saxophone sounds accompanied by an orchestra.

A classic is a classic because it has stood the test of time. And there is nothing more merciless and fair than this test. How many former favorites of fate have sunk into oblivion, how many popular melodies have ceased to sound forever... But the classics live on, winning new and new hearts! Classical music is like good old wine - the years only add charm to its sound bouquet. Classics are like ancient trees, whose annual rings are remembered by past generations, and whose foliage protects the living from the sun. Classics are a bridge between the souls of those who have left and those who will come. We contemporaries are the lucky ones. Because classics are our present. In the concert, performed by a saxophone and orchestra, they will sound classical works- from Bach and Vivaldi, to Gershwin and Piazzolla. New timbres of familiar music are the way to tomorrow.
