Lithuanian State Symphony Concert

Conductor Sándor Gyüdi

 

"He plays the trumpet as easily as we breathe - if we're lucky, of course," wrote the San Francisco Chronicle after a concert by trumpet virtuoso Sergei Nakariakov in the US. S. Nakariakovas, known by the names of Trumpet Paganini, Trumpet Karuz and other sonorous names, has been with the trumpet since childhood. True, his first instrument was the piano. However, after suffering a serious spinal injury and the doctors forbidding him to sit, the young prodigy took up the trumpet and has not regretted it to this day. "It just suits me," smiles S. Nakariakovas. Success did not have to wait long - at the age of ten, S. Nakariakov started performing with symphony orchestras, and when he won an adult wind instrument competition at the age of eleven, it became clear that his native country had become too narrow for S. Nakariakov. The family of the talented boy went to Israel so that his son could pursue an international career without restrictions.

 

Now S. Nakariakov is named one of the five most influential trumpeters in the world and is welcomed in the world's most famous concert halls - he has performed at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Lincoln Center in New York, the Royal Festival Hall in London, the Royal Albert Hall, the Théâtre des Champs Élysées in Paris and other prestigious halls with the world's best symphony orchestras. Critics continue to praise the trumpeter: "S. Nakariakov has a wonderful command of sound color and dynamics: he can play loud, but never sarcastic. So his works become incredibly eloquent," wrote the influential British newspaper "The Sunday Times". Tonight, S. Nakariakovas will perform Joseph Haydn's (1732-1809) concerto for cello and orchestra in C major no. 1, considered one of the most famous works of this genre of the classical era. The concert was arranged by S. Nakariakov himself for the flugelhorn, which has a softer and brighter sound than the trumpet.

 

The second part of the concert will feature the German romantic Robert Schumann's (1810–1856) Symphony No. 3, also known as the Rhine Symphony. This is the composer's last symphony, created in 1850, after the composer moved with his family to Dusseldorf, where he became the city's music director.

 

Hungarian maestro Sándoras Gyüdi will conduct the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra this evening. 1999-2008 S. Gyüdi was the artistic director and conductor of the Szeged (Hungary) Symphony Orchestra. conductor, since 2008 directs the Szeged National Opera House. The maestro's repertoire is wide - from baroque and contemporary music, from symphonies to the opera genre. Tonight S. Gyüdi will share his love for music in Lithuania.
