The new double violin concerto by Mark-Anthony Turnage, Shadow Walker, is premiered and toured by the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic in October, with Vadim Repin and Daniel Hope as soloists.

Mark-Anthony Turnage's new double violin concerto, Shadow Walker, is premiered by soloists Vadim Repin and Daniel Hope in Istanbul on 19 October with the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra under Sascha Goetzel. This first performance is followed by a European tour visiting the Essen Philharmonie (20 October), Gallus Hall in Ljubljana (21 October), the Musikverein in Vienna (23 October) and the Maag Halle in Zürich (25 October). Shadow Walker is jointly commissioned by Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra, Philharmonie Essen and the Trans-Siberian Art Festival which includes events in Vadim Repin's native city of Novossibirsk.

The new 25-minute work is dedicated to artist Mark Wallinger, who Turnage collaborated with on his ballets Trespass and Undance. The title Shadow Walker is drawn from a Wallinger video in which the artist films his shadow as he walks along Shaftesbury Avenue in London, exploring themes of identity and replicated imaging. The disembodied shadow takes on its own life in relation to the public on the streets, allowing the artist to experience the city as a flaneur behind a mask of anonymity. Turnage's work also references Wallinger's series of Id Paintings, life-size action art images whose bilateral symmetry resembles the two halves of the human body.

Shadow Walker is cast in four movements, Fast-Slow-Fast-Slow, with the third movement taking the form of a scherzo. A wide range of contrapuntal techniques are employed by Turnage, from general imitation and echo, to strict canon - such as the opening of the fourth movement starting with the two soloists in turn, and proliferating through the strings to build a rhythmically and harmonically complex texture. Mirror canon also appears, which is more closely related to the symmetrical techniques in Wallinger's Id Paintings.

A live Philharmonia Orchestra concert screening of the 1927 silent film Love, featuring the world premiere of a new score.

The Philharmonia Orchestra provides live accompaniment to a screening of Love, featuring virtuoso violinist Vadim Repin and conducted by Frank Strobel.

Aphrodite Raickopoulou has written a new score for this classic silent film, which is based on Tolstoy's novel Anna Karenina. The score was written especially for the renowned violinist Vadim Repin, whom Yehudi Menuhin described as 'the best violinist I have ever heard'.

Made in 1927 by director Edmund Goulding, Love starred the most celebrated screen couple of the era: Greta Garbo and John Gilbert. The New York Times motion picture critic Mordaunt Hall described Greta Garbo, in this role, as 'a blonde Mona Lisa' and wrote that she 'outshines any other performance she has given to the screen'.

In 2012, Aphrodite Raickopoulou's score for Faustwas premiered in Royal Festival Hall by Carmen Zgouras Special Entertainment.

'Raickopoulou's music mirrored the film's fantastical qualities with intensely-coloured string passages and some Wagner-esque brass... [her] sweepingly symphonic writing amplified the dramatic turbulence of Murnau's movie with a passion that would surely have impressed the director himself.' (The Arts Desk on Faust)

A Carmen Zgouras Special Entertainment Production.

Love starring Vadim Repin and Greta Garbo is dedicated to Mrs Alfiya Kuanysheva for her special contribution to the Arts.

Carmen Zgouras is proud to announce this concert will launch the 2016 UK-Russia Year of Language and Literature, as it is based on Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina.

Vadim Repin performed Krennikov VC1 with Mariinsky Orchestra conducted by Valery Gergiev, on the occasion of Tikhon Krennikov 100th Anniversary concert.

«Московские окна», «Колыбельная Светланы», «Что так сердце растревожено»… Эти песни помнят и поют, порой забывая, что их автор – Тихон Николаевич Хренников. Сегодня исполняется 100 лет со дня рождения выдающегося композитора. Памяти мастера три масштабных концерта дал маэстро Валерий Гергиев. Первый – в Петербурге. Второй – на родине Хренникова, в Ельце. Вечер в столичном зале Чайковского стал кульминацией этого музыкального приношения. Рассказывают «Новости культуры».

Ради этого вечера в зале Чайковского Вадим Репин вспомнил юношеский скрипичный концерт Тихона Хренникова, который не играл много лет.

Когда-то, очень давно, юного Вадима Репина Тихон Хренников вывел за руку на сцену Большого зала консерватории. Это стало началом теплых до родственности дружеских отношений.

«Вспоминаю те годы, когда часто вместе путешествовали во многие города, общались, – говорит Вадим Репин. – Этот концерт – часть меня, в каком-то смысле. Мне уже не 16 лет, но удовольствие огромнейшее».

Vadim Repin will organize an international Music Festival in his native city of Novosibirsk, starting in April 2014.

Israel Philharmonic Orchestra 75 Years Anniversary Concert & Documentary Coming Home

To purchase the DVD click here

The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra - a cultural icon of Israel and one of the greatest classical ensembles in the world - celebrated its 75th Birthday on December 26th, 2011 together with three outstanding soloists of the younger generation Julian Rachlin, Evgeny Kissin and Vadim Repin. The concert took place in the spectacular Hangar 11 at the harbor in Tel Aviv. Zubin Mehta conducted a spectacular programme of Saint-Saëns, Bach, Chopin, Chausson and Beethoven.

The film Coming Home by János Darvas portrays the orchestra and tells of its moving history, which is both a reflection of the history of Israel and the fate of the Jews in the 20th Century. With texts from memoirs, with material from radio interviews, home movies and photos from the orchestras archives, as well as from private collections, the film will not only tells the story of the orchestra, but draws parallels to the fates of many individuals. Historical footage brings the 75-year history of the orchestra to life in concerts with Arturo Toscanini, Arthur Rubinstein, Leonard Bernstein, Isaac Stern, Zubin Mehta, Daniel Barenboim and Itzhak Perlman. Interviews with orchestra members from the early years weave through talks with musicians that joined later, and with current orchestra members. Moreover, Zubin Mehta, Daniel Barenboim, Itzhak Perlman and Pinkas Zukerman have their say. We also get the opportunity to watch the Israel Philharmonic in rehearsals, concerts and tours.

'Vadim Repin, un magicien de l'archet'
 will be broadcast on ARTE TV (French) on 28th of Feb 2011 at 22h35
                     
Passé de l’immensité sibérienne à la gloire planétaire, le violoniste virtuose Vadim Repin nous emmène dans un monde d’harmonies magiques.

Depuis Irkoutsk sur le lac Baïkal jusqu’à Berlin, Bruxelles, Paris et Dijon, nous suivons l’artiste. En plus de le voir jouer en soliste avec les plus grands orchestres, on l’entend aussi dans des trésors de la musique de chambre. Presque en marge, on y apprend plus sur l’itinéraire personnel de cet artiste d’exception, considéré par Yehudi Menuhin comme le violoniste le plus parfait au monde.

Le virtuose Vadim Repin a suivi les cours du génial professeur de violon Zakhar Bron à Novosibirsk, loin de l’usine à talents moscovite. Très tôt destiné et préparé à une carrière de soliste, il a été formé selon la tradition de « l’école russe ».

Le talent du jeune Vadim Repin ne fait aucun doute : à onze ans, il remporte le Concours Wieniawski en Pologne et à dix sept ans, il repart avec le premier prix de l’ardu Concours Reine Elisabeth de Bruxelles. Sa carrière internationale peut alors commencer. Aujourd’hui, il est l’un des violonistes les plus demandés au monde.

Sa discipline et sa virtuosité athlétique lui permettent un jeu qui surprend par sa légèreté ainsi qu’une sonorité lumineuse et transparente qui n’en finit pas de fasciner. Pour atteindre l’Olympe des violonistes, Vadim Repin a bénéficié, en plus de l’enseignement de son professeur Zakhar Bron, du soutien de Yehudi Menuhin et de la manager de ce dernier, Eleanor Hope. Depuis son succès à Bruxelles, la mère du violoniste britannique Daniel Hope a entouré le jeune Vadim Repin de sa sollicitude.

Après des années passées à Hambourg et à Monaco, le virtuose du violon, maintenant âgé de 39 ans, partage son temps entre Vienne et Moscou. Malgré sa gloire planétaire, il est resté humble, plein d’humour et sans artifices. Marqué par une enfance et une adolescence studieuses en Sibérie, la vie occidentale a permis à Vadim Repin de devenir un musicien, un artiste et un homme pour qui la discipline, le plaisir de jouer et la sensualité de l’expérience sonore sont indissociables

Вадим Репин стал кавалером Французского ордена искусств

Родившийся в Новосибирске скрипач Вадим Репин стал кавалером Французского ордена искусств и литературы. Об этом по поручению французского министерства культуры объявил в минувший уикенд, после сольного концерта в парижском Salle Pleyel генеральный директор Cité de la Musique Laurent Bayle. Он отметил уникальное звучание Репина, его артистизм, преданность музыке и верность высоким стандартам профессии, установленным двумя великими учителями – Мстиславом Ростроповичем и Еуди Менухином, которые также являлись при жизни членами Французского ордена.

39-летний Вадим Репин  впервые выступил во Франции в возрасте 13 лет и с тех пор регулярно даёт здесь концерты на протяжении четверти века. Он начал играть на скрипке в пять лет и через шесть месяцев уже впервые вышел на сцену. В 11 лет он получил золотую медаль на конкурсе Wienawski и дал дебютные сольные концерты в Москве и Санкт-Петербурге. В 1985 году, дебютировал в Токио, Мюнхене, Берлине, Хельсинки, а год спустя, в 15-летнем возрасте выступил в Карнеги-Холле. Два года спустя, Вадим Репин стал самым молодым победителем престижнейшего конкурса скрипачей Reine Elisabeth Concours за всю историю его проведения.

Последний сезон Репина включал выступления с Мути в Нью-Йорке, с Тиельманном в Токио, с Чайлли в Лейпциге, турне по Австралии с Лондонским филармоническим оркестром и Владимиром Юровским и премьеру скрипичного концерта James MacMillan, с Лондонским симфоническим оркестром под управлением Валерия Гергиева. Ранее в этом году он был награждён Victoire d’Honneur, наиболее престижной французской наградой, вручаемой в области звукозаписи.
