"Alternative-20" answers to the eternal questions

Festival "alternative" was held in Moscow for the twentieth time. Each year, the curator and initiator of this avant-garde outrageous Dmitry Ukhov a cultural center "home" more and more specialties of the academic avant-garde contemporary jazz. At that time the festival has been divided into a semi-conscious. The first two days in view of the high art of the little-known works of academic achievement. The last two - avant-jazz. First attended the festival Polish flutist Edita Phil submitted pursuant Kurtatova pieces for flute and some other Western names. Give up and down glissandos and delicate phrasing Phil Edita careful guardians of the traditions. At least she did not shock the audience playing techniques from John Zorn. Careful design, lavish abundance overtones - a bit boring but compelling classic. Renowned pianist Ivan Sokolov, who played the "alternatives" and now lives mainly in Germany, six in a row Galina Ustwolskaja piano sonatas (1947, 1949, 1952, 1957, 1986, 1988) was cited. As intrinsically Sokolov, before and between the execution of plays, he has a lively and interested in telling stories of their creation and an easy scenic fate. Student of Shostakovich, G. Ustvolskaya was highly appreciated by the maestro. As you know, in his String Quartet No. 5, and in the Suite on Verses of Michelangelo Sonnets № 9 Shostakovich used the second theme of the final trio for clarinet, violin and piano Ustwolskaja. Revival now almost forgotten art Ustwolskaja, very intelligent and ambitious, is the best of Ivan Sokolov committed. Its performance is not always affect technical virtuosity, always reproduces the nuances of mood piece. Piano music from pastel to rhythmic bursts (especially good four and five sonatas for that matter) is extremely sensitive to intonation Sokolov. Even managed the well-known songs on the 4-private fourth sonata Sokolov, to saturate compositional drama and history. The second day of the festival put on academic alternative. This acted as a Dutch pianist Rainer van Haudt the third time had come to "alternative". Van Haudt play works (non-sonata) by the American composer Alvin Curran's as close to the author of the comments. E. Curran, specifically ensemble "Musica Elettronica Viva," Steel. In his piano and electronic works of the founding fathers of the forerunners of modern ambient music However, Reiner van Haudt not in its performance of the achievements of modern ambient music to come, but it simulates carefully and authentically reach the 70's and 80's. Pure sound dissonances played soft, ubayukivayusche. Repeated consecutive sequences stylistically related to minimalism, the Van Haudt not afraid. On the contrary, he is building a light and romantic world, not afraid of the word - home of the sixties. Dmitry Prigov speeches and Iraida Yusupova expected by many. However, the festival was going to be a short video performances Prigov limited by a screen. Media Opera "Egypt" tells the story of a magical adventure heroes Prigov to Egypt on a flying carpet. Much of Mr. Prigov in Egypt surprised. Weight comic twists "Egypt" personalize "domovskuyu" the public on the benevolent way, and the duo Prigov-Yusupov had his art more and more to demonstrate. The third day of the festival opened to the domestic audience excellent Dutch percussionist Han Bennink. This white-haired gentleman was a decent fireworks jazz breaks, a shimmering cascade of complex drammerskih methods that write it into the narrow framework of a new genre of Dutch swing it would be at least tactless. Besides the fact that Han Bennink one of the popular European jazz drummer, he is - the founder of the famous Union free jazz improvisation ICP. It is with some reverence would be called back, spoke our drum genius Vladimir Tarasov about ICP ... Even clock plays Bennink - pure pleasure. Gentleman high leg lifts with shoes as a muffler for membranes, growls, rattles and all but knocked language. Do not forget to make this almost "MAT" pause. As with any great musician his instrument tuned live lives of human life. Respectful regard to the nature of the African drums - an indispensable artifact. Bennink eventually defeated audience to reach the the same order. Near piano, and managed to play the drum sticks, and she Extravaganza and show a true professional. Composer and multi-instrumentalist Anton power of ethno-electronic records is known, introduced a performance-known properties - into the sequencer parts with different instrument to the audience. Domovskaya could hardly inspire sophisticated audience like experience, but with the advent of the tube soundscapes still be impressive feature. Mezhzhanrovaya free collective improvisation of the festival turned the game with only one goal. The numerical superiority of the five musicians' SPOOKY actions "(USA), on the following day, it was so great that the dam has been essentially a rehearsal band. Participate in jam Edita Phil Anton Silaev and Han Bennink could only be issued by a single solo game. However, they turned canceled. Completed the festival, "alternative" new jazz band "SPOOKY actions" grafted from tradition for most impossible. This time, the decomposition of the Jazz as a work of Olivier Messiaen's "Quatuor pour la fin du temps". "In the concept that the festival (" Quartet for the End of Time) "alternative" was the 20th year, it has an essential event in the cultural life of the capital. mess listen composers and performers from different traditions and backgrounds, will cause the output viewer, a new post-modern product. Experience the charm of the unusual connections may only participate in each evening of the festival. Twentieth "Alternative" raised the question of the succession of European academic tradition in the vanguard of the new modern jazz, and answers the question Slightly positive Vadim Ponomarev, NEWSmusic.ru Photo -..
