2021 - The Year of Three Composers


IGOR RUHADZE (VIOLIN), VITAL STAHIEVITCH (PIANO)

The program is dedicated to three great composers who would celebrate their anniversaries in 2001. This year, the famous Russian Sergei Prokofiev would have turned 130 years old. The renowned French composer Camille Saint-Saëns died in 1921, and in the same year, the important Armenian composer Arno Babajanian was born. Violinist Igor Ruhadze and pianist Vital Stahievitch have prepared an interesting program featuring the works of these three significant figures. During the concert, we will also tell about their lives, works, and aspirations. The program is based on special historical crossovers. What a coincidence that in 1921, when one of the most important composers of French Romanticism passed away, Arno Babajanian was born in far away Yerevan, and the young Prokofiev completed his opera “The Love of the Three Oranges”. All three composers knew each other's works, although they belong to different eras and styles. Saint-Saëns, for example, strongly disapproved of Prokofiev's work. And Babajanian, on the contrary, got very well acquainted with him after Prokofiev's return to the Soviet Union, and some of his works were influenced by the music of Prokofiev.

Next to the concert, an exhibition will take place in the concert hall by the amateur artists of the Olga Meshkova Artlama Studio Almere. The students of the Art studio are asked to draw the melodies - the resulting exhibition is called “We draw music”. Before and after the concert, the paintings will be exhibited in the hall and the audience will get free catalog leaflets.

PROGRAM

Camille Saint-Saëns – Violin Sonata No. 2 in E-flat major (1896), Op. 102, R 130

Sergei Prokofjev – Sonata n. 1  f- moll op.1 (piano solo)

Arno Babajanian – Sonata for violin and piano in b-flat minor

NEW Complete Leclair Violin Concertos


After their internationally acclaimed recordings of sonatas and concertos by Pietro Locatelli, Ensemble Violini Capricciosi and their founder/director Igor Ruhadze turn their attention to his most talented pupil, Jean-Marie Leclair.The stylish idiom and sensivity of this period string ensemble’s previous recordings for Brilliant Classics has won wide critical praise. Concerning their 5CD set of Locatelli’s Sonatas Opp. 8 & 12: ‘Brilliant’s collection should prove a most enjoyable, most entertaining, and, at times, moving experience… Strongly recommended, therefore, across the board’ (Fanfare, July 2013). ‘The Ensemble Violini Capricciosi, founded and led by Igor Ruhadze, who have bravely taken up the cause of performing the virtuoso violin repertory on period instruments, emerge from these recordings as fine advocates… The exuberant Op. 8 sonatas are here brilliantly and at times breathtakingly performed’ (Gramophone, December 2012).

 Violinist Igor Ruhadze was trained in his native Moscow as a virtuoso on the modern violin. However, his interest took him into early music, playing with different groups. His solid technique enables him to tackle the often fearful difficulties of Leclair’s music with ease, charm and brilliance. His ensemble Violini Capricciosi on original instruments, and follow the Historically Informed Performance Practice.


Biber Complete Violin Sonatas


The sonatas are played with aplomb by early music group Ensemble Violini Capricciosi, led from the front by soloist Igor Ruhadze.

The group has previously recorded the complete works by Locatelli for Brilliant Classics, another composer known for his virtuosic violin writing.

The set was praised by MusicWeb International as a 'major achievement', with Ruhadze lauded for his 'impressive tone'.

 

"I was impressed with Igor Ruhadze's survey of Locatelli's music, also for Brilliant Classics. It made me interested to see how he tackled Biber's sonatas. I am glad to say that, the playing of Igor Ruhadze and the Ensemble Violini Capricciosi is excellent, I particularly like the sound of Felicity Goodwin’s organ playing and the instrument itself. She also wrote a brief but informative booklet note. This is a useful set and one which I am happy to welcome onto my CD shelves. It may not be my first choice, especially in the Rosary Sonatas. Still, this set sits well next to my other recordings of this music, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to someone coming to this music anew and seeking an introduction to the world of Biber’s music. ."

Locatelli Complete Edition


The first big project of the Foundation Violini Capricciosi was the Complete Locatelli recording.

Igor Ruhadze and his group Ensemble Violini Capricciosi have dedicated themselves to recording Locatelli’s works for some years now. Careful research along with a genuine enthusiasm for the overlooked composer’s works have led to a fine set of recordings, previously described by Gramophone as ‘brilliantly and at times breathtakingly performed’. The release also includes new recordings of the composer’s Concerti Grossi Opp. 1 & 7 and Introduzioni Teatrali Op.4, as well as the haunting Sinfonia funebre, a work to mark the death of an unknown woman in Rome. The vibrant playing of the Ensemble Violini Capricciosi is complemented by Musica ad Rhenum, led by highly acclaimed flautist Jed Wentz, who perform the Flute and Trio Sonatas. This release of 21CDs of listening pleasure represents excellent value for money; a compelling and masterful accomplishment just waiting to be enjoyed.


NEW CD - De start van een spannende nieuwe serie!


Nieuwe Cd van Igor Ruhadze & Alexsandra Nepomnyashchaya

De violist Igor Ruhadze werd opgeleid tot virtuoos op de moderne viool. Zijn interesse bracht hem echter in de oude muziek, waar hij speelde met ensembles als Musica ad Rhenum, Jed Wentz en anderen. Zijn solide techniek stelt hem in staat om de vaak angstaanjagende moeilijkheden van Geminiani's muziek met gemak, charme en briljantie aan te pakken.

5 sterren

https://www.pizzicato.lu/fruhe-sonaten-fur-violine-und-cembalo-von-geminiani/

"....In these recordings, too, he convinces with his unstrained flowing style and his secure mastery of the technique of violin playing. He has since continued to grow in stature in terms of a wider range of expressive possibilities. Thus this complete recording of Geminiani’s op. 1 becomes a worthwhile exploration of this series".....
