Yuri Bashmet: In every genre, I love talented!

Yuri Bashmet said why the German and Austrian musicians "combed" and how he played in absentia with Lara Fabian. Won Festival, conducted by Bashmet in Yaroslavl momentum. On the second day of the festival, a press conference was the famous violist and conductor. It Bashmet, as it is strange, said a lot of interesting things. For example, as he did. The empty hall - Since the beginning of perestroika, when I started traveling around the country - but once I met with a blank space, and it is necessary that it happened in Rostov, where I was born Later, there were contemporary music festival, where I was greeted well and then everything is all set. But in general we have a lot of traveling around the country, and everywhere - full houses. No crisis in the presence of classical music concerts, I do not see. Quite the contrary! Violist Yuri Bashmet and spoke about his relationship with a variety of genres. - When I was young, I did not like Vysotsky, I loved "The Beatles" and did not understand jazz. When he grew up, was listening to jazz-rock, and with him came the understanding of jazz. Later, he heard the words of the song ... Vysotsky Understanding of the different genres - this is often age-related. We need to listen to the young people the opportunity to classical music, to bring them to concerts. And the problem is a musician - not to frighten, to draw, to interest young listeners. So we played a concert for veterans, and many come with their grandchildren. Many of them probably for the first time at a concert. Often have to give them a chance. You will hear, and some, but not all, but many - fall in love discover this music, a whole new worlds. Bashmet later admitted that he was shocked at the Veterans Concert. - Yesterday, we immediately after the concert at the Victory saw a fragment of his translation, which was on the Yaroslavl television. Statement showed a close-up veteran. They cried! From the stage we can not see it ... And operator - clever. At the press conference, the director of the Department of Culture of the Yaroslavl region Larisa Sorokina, Yuri Bashmet and the Yaroslavl branch manager "PSB" (sponsor of the festival) Alexey Bogachev unexpected conclusions complete the story, such as Yuri Bashmet rode for the first time recorded abroad. - When I first recorded abroad, but was in Germany for the German gramophone, we for the first time on the border concepts of "quiet" and "loud". I loudly something like contrast or very quiet or too! Here we are very close to close to Alfred Schnittke, he is the same. So, my first entry failed their quality control! It turns out that they are. "Loud" such mechanical controls for volume, which have the range between "quiet" and calculated They focus on listening to music in the car on the highway. You go in the car, listen to music at a comfortable volume, create more peace, and the way that noise! Need to adjust the volume. And when a loud place, loud noise can cause an accident. Therefore, in the studio at the final stage monitoring this ratio, it does not matter whether you are the music volume differences or not. Today, the German and Austrian musicians are strong "combed" by the sound. I think maybe it is because of this tradition! Once Bashmet absentia played with Lara Fabian. - I was asked to play the theme of friendship in a pop song. Drove to the studio, recorded and forgotten. Then my good friend, the composer Alexander Tchaikovsky told me that he went to the Kremlin Concert Lara Fabian, there is a girl in a short skirt rides with a violin, and the soundtrack sounds ... bashmetovsky old. It turns out that the concert was among the carriers, which, when I was once asked to play a solo. Yuri Bashmet absentia played with Lara Fabian Yuri Bashmet positive attitude to touring bands, despite the high cost of their organization. - I was listening to random as spent a lot of money to import the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in Moscow - is exorbitant numbers ... But Muscovites hear Chicago band! And, perhaps, to understand that you do not live in the USA! - Smiling Maestro. - In addition, the band is really good. Strings where almost all of our musicians and copper they always had our best ... On this festival for the first time in the program attend a jazz musician. Igor Butman Big Band will play improvisation with the "Moscow Soloists" Bashmet. - One day I visited the show "Contemporary", where I zazval Yarmolnik and then jazz -. Improvisation and Butman with Matsuev I remember! In general, I often listen to in the car young singers and jazz, for example, Michel Petrucciani duet with Stephane Grappelli, Oscar Peterson, I've always liked him. Recently, with Jean-Luc Ponty made in Sochi. In every genre, I love talented! With Igor Butman, we are friends, and not once in New York and Moscow played. And improvise in Yaroslavl. For example, if you work a rhythmic scheme laid by Ravel and Scriabin, rich blues, this is not the dream of many jazz musicians. Stravinsky, Bartok - Many composers have been influenced by jazz. I've always been interested in the bridge, contact genres. Brilliant in every genre - always in contact with other genres. Butman plays the same, such as Stravinsky in a jazz manner by a string orchestra. Yuri Bashmet, said he recently attended the first concert in the life of his grandson. - I want the Central Music School Conservatory in the class concert Galina Turchaninova came for family reasons, you might say. My grandson is five and a half years, first came on the scene. It is the smallest in the class. By the way, I heard the half of the class, the girl heard there 7.5 years - her true calling, she is bright and gets pleasure of music she likes. So she is in the right place! And in Khabarovsk on the last hearing in the National Youth Orchestra, it became clear that we have a talented teacher and talented children. At least in Khabarovsk. So I am optimistic about our future musical. And my grandson taught well - is already on hand ... and then grandchildren came after the speech, he sat on my lap, applauded, tired and said, "I would like to go more to the stage." That's what the words say a baby! Was in Toronto, I bought it at a department store children's clothes tuxedo. Gave him here in Yaroslavl ...
