Aidar Gainullin und Mireille Mathieu singen im Duett 'Schwarze Augen' - Deutschland
Beitrag von Dr. Herbert Scheibenreif of Friedrich Lips Productions

Am 20. Jänner hat der bekannte Bajanist, Komponist und Sänger Aydar Gaiullin an der Preisverleihung des prestigeträchtigen Kulturpreises der deutschen Zeitung BZ ("Berliner Zeitung") für 2008 teilgenommen.

Dieser internationale Preis wird internationalen Stars in der Welt von Musik, Kino und Theater verliehen, die zur Entwicklung der Kultur beigetragen haben. Sowie in früheren Jahren nahmen Weltstars wie der Schauspieler Tom Cruise und die französische Sängerin Mireille Mathieu an der Zeremonie teil. Aydar Gainullin wurde nach seinem Konzert im Grossen Saal der Berlin Philarmonischen Gesellschaft am 5. November 2007 eingeladen, wo er mit den weltberühmten Berliner Philharmonikern aufgetreten war. Dieses Konzert war im deutschen Radio zu hören, und der Bajanist zog viele neue Bewunderer an. Aydar’s Leistung erregte auch in Expertenkreisen große Beachtung, sodass er schließlich zur BZ Zeremonie 2008 eingeladen wurde.

Bei der Zeremonie brachte Aydar Musik von Alfred Schnittke und Astor Piazzolla zur Aufführung. Während der finalen Präsentation ging Mireille Mathieu auf Aydar zu und gestand ihm, dass sie Moskau immer schon geliebt hat und sich an Liedern wie „Moskauer Abende“ und „Schwarze Augen“ erfreut hat. Plötzlich begann sie zu singen und Aydar stimmte spontan in die „Schwarzen Augen“ ein.

Erinnern wir daran, dass der Absolvent der russischen Gnessin Musikakademie zur Zeit in Berlin wohnt, wo er an der Hanns Eisler-Universität Musik studiert. 2003 wurde sein Name von Vladimir Putin, Präsident der russischen Föderation, für hervorragende Leistungen im Bereich der Bajankunst in das „Goldene Buch der Talente Russlands“ eingetragen. Im selben Jahr wurde Aydar Stipendiat der Fonds von M.Rostropowitsch, Friedrich Lips, sowie “Russian performing art”. 2006 wurden ihm die Preise „Bester der Besten“ sowie „Junge Talente Russlands” verliehen.


Hohe Auszeichnungen erhielt er für sein Talent als Komponist: 20. nationaler Filmpreis „Nika“ (russischer „Oscar“) und „Der weiße Elefant“ von Filmpresse und Filmkritikern für eine Nominierung  als beste Filmmusik für 2006 („Euphorie“).

Zur Zeit arbeitet Aydar an der Musik für Ivan Vyrypayev’s neuen Film „Sauerstoff“, die Arbeit wird bald abgeschlossen sein.Als Konzertsolist bereist Aydar ständig die ganze Welt, sein Terminkalender ist  lange Zeit im vorhinein voll. Er konzertiert häufig auf weithin bekannten europäischen Bühnen. So wird er im kommenden Juni an einer feierlichen Aufführung vor vielen Politikern und Geschäftsleuten in London teilnehmen

'Theatre Review of 'OPERA?', Pineto - Italy

'OPERA?' by Renzo Ruggieri was premiered at the Teatro Polifunzionale, Pineto, Italy, on January 26th 2008. Ruggieri is an Italian accordionist famous for his jazz performances. As a solo player and as leader of the Renzo Ruggieri Group (RRG: Massimo Moriconi, Paolo di Sabatino, Glauco di Sabatino) he has performed around the world and recorded several CDs in this genre.

In recent years he has explored the boundaries of his instrument recording 'Solo Accordion Project', a haunting combination of acoustic, electronic and recording effects. He has also had important collaborations with other instrumental groups and artistes, most notably the Italian singer - Antonella Ruggiero - on 'Souvenir d'Italie' in 2006.

His latest work naturally draws on all these influences and the cultural roots provided by three of Italy's greatest composers: Verdi, Rossini and Puccini, and arguably their greatest works 'La Traviata', 'The Barber of Seville', and 'Tosca'.

'Opera?' is a story set to music in five scenes. Ruggieri cleverly combines three protagonists and their actions from the above operas: the letter of Figaro, Alfredo's jealousy and Tosca's suicide. Against a (deliberate) plain dark background an actor (the powerful Paolo Perelli) foretells each scene in spoken word.

He has no script to follow, merely the outline of the story, he is improvising both content and delivery. Such is his variation that, at times, his change from a soft whisper to cries of anguish have the audience almost out of their seats. In the background, the accordion of Ruggieri follows the actor's lead occasionally joined by other members of the RRG. It is in these moments that the audience is asked to relive their own similar experiences or question their own emotion and choices.

When the scene has been set the chamber orchestra (directed by Massimiliano Caporale), another vital element of the spectacle, is involved and envelopes our thought process. Ruggieri is always melodic in his composition for the orchestra.

At times the strings come to the forefront, at others they enrich the continual improvisation of the RRG or provide musical acknowledgements of all three past masters. The RRG still has time for their own expressive jazz solos seemingly never out of place in a musical story with origins spanning the last two centuries.

Using these origins as inspiration, Ruggieri expresses his own 'italianality' and make us reflect on love, decisions and time so precious. He has provided a unique work that deserves further exposure and performances.
