“I
was extremely pleased to learn from our screening jurors how excited they were
to have heard the many wonderful talents they have selected to participate in
the competition,” says Competition Chairman Valery Gergiev."They achieved
remarkable consensus in their choice of the most outstanding musicians."
This
view was reflected by David Geringas, who chaired the screening jury for the
cellists: “I believe that our jury was able to identify 25 musicians of a very
high artistic level. I'm looking forward to June, when they will play, and we
can expect a thrilling competition in 2011.”
About the St.Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra
The St.Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, led by Yuri
Temirkanov, is the oldest orchestra in Russia. Its official birthday, 1882, is
preceded by a series of events that now comprise the history of musical life in
the former capital of the Russian Empire. When Peter the Great laid the
foundations for the city of St.Petersburg in 1703, he was determined that his
new capital would be a European town. Leading Italian, and later German,
composers and musicians lived and created in the city on the Neva.
In 1802, a group of music-loving Russian aristocrats founded Europe’s first
philharmonic society in the city. On 19th October 1917, during the Great
October Revolution, the orchestra was changed by decree into a state
orchestra and gave its first public concert in the Soviet Union on 8th
November. A year later the orchestra was incorporated into the newly founded
Petrograd Philharmonic, which became the first major musical organization in the
USSR.
In October 1920, the People’s Commissar of Education, Anatoly Lunacharsky,
himself a lover of classical music, issued the following decree: «I declare the
Petrograd State Philharmonic Orchestra to be the only symphonic institution of
the republic and as such a model and exemplary body. Any infringement leading to
the disorganization of the activities of the orchestra or any other attempts to
destroy it are hereby decreed a felony. The State Philharmonic Orchestra of
Petrograd must remain an inviolable Institution of national importance.»
In the following years, the orchestra’s repertoire was developed and expanded
by its administrative directors, Ossovskaya and Sollertinsky, who introduced
performances of the Beethoven, Mahler and Bruckner symphonic cycles. Mravinsky
took over as music director in 1938 and continued in this position for almost 50
years. There was a great artistic friendship between Mravinsky and
Shostakovich, and Mravinsky became the first and the most renowned interpreter
of Shostakovich’s works. The orchestra frequently gave premiere performances of
his works which now take a special place in the orchestra’s repertoire. After
Mravinsky’s death in 1988 Yuri Temirkanov was appointed Music Director and
Principal Conductor of the Orchestra. The St.Petersburg Philharmonic was
the first Soviet orchestra to tour abroad. After the war, the orchestra toured
over 25 countries in Europe, Asia, and America conducted by Stokowski, Munch,
Cluyens, Markevitch, Kosef Krips, Kodaly and Britten. In addition to its regular
concert series at the renowned philharmonic Hall in St.Petersburg, the Orchestra
now regularly tours Europe, Japan and the USA. In 1991, shortly after the
renaming of the city, the Orchestra changed its name from the Leningrad
Philharmonic the St.Petersburg Philharmonic.
During the past ten years the orchestra has completed substantial tours
throughout Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Italy, the UK, the USA, South
America, the Far East and Japan, and appeared at major summer festivals
including Lucerne, Salzburg, Edinburgh and the BBS Proms. The orchestra can
be heard with Yuri Temirkanov conducting on BMG Classics and Warner, with Mariss
Jansons on EMI an With Vladimir Ashkenasy on Decca.
