Head MGASO Kogan told of his leadership of the orchestra and the principles of choice of repertoire, but also together. His attitude to the scandal involving the State Symphony Orchestra of them Svetlanov. MGASO conducted by Pavel Kogan is in public and colleagues mixed feelings. Delight, surprise, even envy. Genre variation works, played by an orchestra is extremely high, and the academic quality of the execution is not the slightest doubt. In a time when scandals in major Russian orchestras and conductors of violence against the norm, were MGASO peaceful and plays with Pavel Kogan and not only with the greatest conductors. Pavel Kogan leads MGASO on tour in the U.S. - What today is the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra? How much you give concerts, where he played more - in Russia or abroad? - 12th September we opened at the Great Hall of the Conservatory, a new concert season. Only a year we play about 85-90 concerts. What relationships in the tour activities is not comparable to the previous year. It happens that for a month holiday in a country, then a month - for the other. Sometimes pays more time in Moscow. Much to my regret not being part of the orchestra to go on a tour to the regions of Russia. This is due to the high financial costs that can not afford the orchestra. We would love to travel around the country more often. The volume that is interesting and useful for us, we choose not to know. - Sponsors do not help? - In our country has a peculiar color sponsorships. Because of tax laws, it is not too attractive to companies. Therefore, fund sponsors often relies on personal friendships and is a spontaneous reaction. But the orchestra is large and constant support, we can not yet. When this happens, we are excited and happy. I think that now is the time, successful people, their attention is to be paid to the musical culture, and try to help her. Serious Creativity in the classical genre does not mean self-sufficiency and full commercialization of the process. World practice shows that classical music has always either subsidized by the state or private institutions. - Have government support. - Yes, apart from the general budget of the orchestra, we have a grant from the Government of the Russian Federation, which is a tangible reward for creative composition. Without him we would have probably does not exist. We want to work professional musicians who are willing to invest with us to win, but they cost a pretty penny. - What is personal for money - work MGASO head or a guest conductor and violinist? - Of course, financially profitable personal touring as a conductor, as a violinist, I do not argue. But the director of the orchestra - a kind of mission. I'm not the first decade of the position MGASO and other orchestras. It takes experience. I confess that for such work to grow a soul. This was the main business of my creative life. Moreover, very often I talk to socialize with personal tours with the orchestra and to bring the world of celebrity musicians to work. The more you have private concerts and celebrity - the more it helps the activities of the orchestra as a whole. - Do you have famous parents - Leonid Kogan and Elizaveta Gilels. Uncle - great pianist Emil Gilels. Such a relationship inspires you to start a career, or hanging a heavy load? - Writes a big responsibility! Absolute exclusion of music and creativity as a matter lightly do. Now I realize I was programmed to do what I do to. This day I can not say it was easy. On the contrary, it is much harder than others. With me and demanded more. If the demand is high, there is always a sense of responsibility. You think you are going through, do not sleep at night ... Any mistake, no matter how small, is seen as a tragedy. There are always those who will inflate it - our creative world is a difficult subject, it is difficult to wait for an objective assessment. I always have in this regard occupations where it envies an objective: goal scoring athlete ran the track at the time - an objective assessment. We are all subjective - one like no other. If anyone thinks that it was easier with her parents and everything ran like clockwork life - he is profoundly wrong. I was heavier. - Were slushki behind - let's say, the son of the Kogan, and not played so wrong? - Nothing human is alien to people, unfortunately. I always have this philosophical. Compassion and self-sacrifice in human nature combined with anger and envy. - The orchestra is a certain wildness opinions. As a manager you have a dictator? - For me it is important to work primarily responsible attitude and professional interaction between people. For many years I conducted the orchestra. When people feel this approach, accept him through the head, and understand it. When to do something, sometimes no more time on the quarrels and intrigues. Every organization - mikrosrez life of the country. The country has 140 million, in our orchestra - 140 musicians. These are the same people! - When I see your band on stage, I have a picture of a well-oiled machine. - How we make to achieve our goals. Orchestra and should be fine-tuned mechanism. But still it should be a creative atmosphere, groping his mind the interpretation of the material. When these qualities are combined - great! - How do you feel about the scandal in the Orchestra. Svetlanov? Whose side are you on? - The conductor communication - communication creative individual with the creative team. If the relationship does not add up, and each party does not want to talk to the other - the work will never be productive. In the group without force or with one or the other side can be. There is no analogy to revolt on the ship, it should be in the army orders and strict discipline. And art is always necessary to look for a compromise. - Employees can have your manager: go? - It is a dialogue of the equal sides. Everyone has the right to express nedoverie.Eto than marriage - neither side can be happy under oppression or violence. - Do you have a variety of programs, from Shostakovich Bruckner, Strauss and Tchaikovsky. What is the criterion for the selection of the material, if you start a new job? - I have three criteria. I am guided by personal beliefs and personal taste. Always be carefully monitored, it would be interesting and useful to meet the orchestra. But our judges - a listener, and I think about how I think the program is compiled, will be viewed by the public. You do not combine all three options is simple, but successful, I think. - What is the role of the individual in history? They decided to listen to each record, and - tomorrow is doing this kind of music. - Person in history is critical, and as genius, and of villains. That's all the axioms of the Stalin era - not irreplaceable, and personality - nothing. I am an ardent opponent of such a position. Without personalities in the nation to a bleak gray mass. - Well, some bright young composer. They advocate the position that there is no brilliant contemporaries, and you can play Beethoven? Or are looking for young, give them a chance? - I support the fact that talented extraordinary work is still a free pass. And opponents of quotas: Tell me, you are required to contemporary music, and so much interest it should be played. We've all been through this. Talent is never vmnogo. This piece goods. Impose quotas - Tips to run out of the room participants. The premiere of Edison Denisov, Andrei Petrov, Georgy Dmitriev and others - in the time I've played a lot of contemporary music. I had to ask the first performance of brilliant symphonies vineyard. Now for many people is not more time to write a great job, and the thought, as if to relax and get more bills. So world-wide. Want to see it passed quickly. Currently requires total dedication, humility and generosity. - They were not the only Petrov and Bernstein. And prepared in the name of promoting classical music perform orchestration, for example, or Rybnikova Orbelian? - I'm ready to play some good music. If the Met works that worth to me, I'll take it regardless of the surname and first name of the author. - Has any academic music in advertising? - Sure. Classical music is as an elitist art. In fact, the percentage of interest in them is extremely small. But to promote, and I have a double meaning. I am appalled by the fact that mass culture society literally fucked. Soviet composer of songs worthy work in this genre, wrote great songs. They were educated, had great tool. The quality of today's pop, I do not put close to that level. To name the composer, now just click on a computer. Then I can about a composer, with a finger on the keyboard, you have played On the other hand, in recent years at our shows began appearing more and more young people, and I am very satisfied. After all, at one time in the room were all gray heads. - The movement of listeners. A counterclaim by the musicians? - Genre is a genre. Go on about the questionable taste to attract the audience, but at the expense of quality - do not think it necessary. You should take a different approach: academic music scene can not be provided, as is now often the case, those people who turn and slide the new generation of beauty can. It should not be present garbage, random people. I have seen many young people to visit for the first time a concert of classical music and regular listeners. But sometimes the opposite - a man gets to a boring, poorly prepared and poorly selected performance repertoire, and always turns. - Keep up with the youth in this genre - Chernyak, velvet, Currentzis? - I do not see the new generation, it is difficult to assess. I think that they have proven themselves many and especially without the outrageous have. Shocking in classical art is destructive. Need percent pure as gold highest level. - You get to channel see "Phantom of the Opera", where pop stars sing arias? - No, I have not seen. I'll have to see. - Hear modern pop - pop, rock? - Pop and Rock do not like. Listening to classical jazz. This is - art. Improvisation, possession style. Such creativity, I wonder. - You are an advocate of representation in the interpretation of the position of a composer rather than a supporter of the bright display of the author's own considered view. Do you agree? - The primary role of an artist, including the head, - maximum follow the wishes and instructions of the composer. But anyone reading the author's text is passed through the individual service providers, such as through a filter. Sometimes this is the personality is so strong that the author left little. I think this is unacceptable. But there is also the opposite case. In history there have been that the author took the interpretation of the artist, and said that he could not, and this view ... In any case it is placed is creator - the primary. It's the idea of the author. - How can you work on a new product? It is a proven technology trial period? - Each director has his own way. I'm trying to get a sample, fully prepared, presented with the idea of art. Musicians need to be sure that this is their interpretation. I have as a conductor, and the power of persuasion to convince professional musicians give the product as such and not otherwise. This requires serious preparation. In rehearsal is important to see the whole. In any case because of the finishing details not lose the right perception of the whole work. Great symphonic canvases have an enormous shaped burden that should be clear to the musicians, and brought up to the listener. Especially if the work is not a clear and simple authoring program. - What will be in this season, which is the celebration of the 60th Anniversary border? - The season is marked by diversity programs. In the Great Hall and the Hall of subscriptions for them. Tchaikovsky - Russian music and Western Europe: German, Austrian and French. New Year's Eve, we play traditional 30th December the works of Strauss. And as for the anniversary concert, I have not thought of, to be honest. Is seen. Vadim Ponomarev "NEWSmusic.ru»
