Valery Gergiev: Easter Festival - this ordeal!

For two and a half weeks of the festival musicians work in five countries. 5th May in Voronezh was outstanding conductor Valery Gergiev. Maestro with the Mariinsky Theatre Symphony Orchestra gave a concert in the X Moscow Easter Festival, which expands every year geography. Before the concert, in which works by Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky and other composers Kruglikova, artistic director of the Mariinsky Theatre and the Easter Festival and spoke to reporters. Valery Gergiev - Maestro, what are your next plans? - I am very excited about the plans of the regional hearing - in Voronezh Governor Alexei Gordeev serious intention to continue not only the culture of the region, and the specific facilities to be constructed and reconstructed support. The staff of our theater is an honor to address you for the second time. Program at this time is different - it is a very popular product, and little known. Maybe something and play an encore, which provide the public even more fun and give you the opportunity to hear more. To think the main thing for me is that regions such as Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk, Omsk, Voronezh and already fit into the map of the festival. A year ago we met with your Youth Orchestra - it was a good surprise for us. I to you all greetings from Denis Matsuev, who arrived a year ago to play with us in Voronezh. Now he's in Montreal, but very glad we are here again not exclude that we will soon be with him. However, I believe that our festival - is not only a pleasure but an ordeal. During the festival, we have five countries for two and a half weeks. We are at full capacity. We will try next time to carry out all alone. And maybe next time in Voronezh not hold 7:00, and a few days. Maybe bring our singing and ballet strength. - Recently, the student audience of the Mariinsky Theatre. What you must do to attract young people to the classics? - Creative leaders can do in this area a lot. I myself went to St. Petersburg and several universities have unique projects - such as attending performances of Prokofiev ("War and Peace" and "player", "Angel"). We have a strong repertoire of Prokofiev, the world has no analogues. Tourists, of course, choose the "Romeo and Juliet" by Prokofiev, is a known and very popular work. So sometimes you have to explain what the product is "player" and why you need to not only "La Traviata" and heard "Eugene Onegin." It turns out that young people are very curious. Maybe someone thought to try interesting, believe in the word of the Mariinsky theater director. And when I say that the hall more than 1,000 students at a high school, my heart is good. And then you have to fulfill all very nice, so they want to come back. Listen Vladimir Galuzin who plays Alexis in breathtaking Prokofiev "player", the guys got a great cinematic experience. I think that a lot of thought that it was a special night in their lives. It was half a year later. A show with Anna Netrebko, Olga Borodina, Eugene Nikitin, Misha Petrenko - it's very bright singer! And of course, Diana Vishneva! We have also grown up now great dancer Katja Kandaurova, she received the "Golden Mask" or Ulyana Lopatkina - is also a phenomenon of serious level and print high international class that you can put on all their services. This high-quality productions. We have tried to ensure that the Mariinsky Theatre has not resulted in a significant position in the world. And the fact that we are in it 740 times around the world to say something. We have tried to ensure that the Mariinsky Theatre has not resulted in a significant position in the world - Valery, we have heard that you are now financial help Japan? - Today we have the money sent there - the collection of yesterday's concert. I spent 4 or 5 concerts for the benefit of the Japanese, and even went to spend a few. - Are you recognized in 2010 as the most sought-after conductors in the world. The numerous awards for you, prizes, titles? - I see it quietly. I even think we should take it critically. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, even recognized as the most important for you? Maybe I should slow down? More rest? - You are the ambassador, "2014 Olympic Games", with Dima Bilan and Yuri Bashmet. What is made in the context of this mission? - Dima Bilan is doing nothing. Yura - my friend. I was the first ambassador, was the second Anna Netrebko. And if nobody knew if we wait for the happiness you are to choose Russia for the Olympics, we were fighting for the Olympic Games all possible civilized manner. The fact is that I have many friends in the world, by his profession I come every year in 30-35 countries and standing on the world stage 25 years - dinner somewhere, somewhere in an official meeting, somewhere in the interview. It's no secret, when difficult situations arose in Russia, where every effort was over, I was not only concerned, but thought it would do for him. I am a professional manager is believed to be active, to be able to negotiate, to be able to lead. I work with 2300 people, including international stars. And you must be able to accurately match their skills. Ivan Tolstoy, "News Showbiz NEWSmusic.ru» photos
