A recital of Sergey Chechyotko
On November 21, 2007 a recital of Sergey Chechyotko took place in "Helikon-Opera" in Arbat. This is already a second project of a young musician in the walls of Helikon. The director of the evening was Yuri Ustiugov.
The most marvellous item of the program was “Tetrahedron for voice and harp” (lyrics by Milana Aldarova) performed by Natalia Zagorinskaya (vocal) and Yulia Komarova (harp). Five verses of the poetess were performed a’capella by the chorus of the theatre (conductor Konstantin Chudovsky). Aldarova’s verses were also read by Leonid Varichenko during the intervals between the items.
The vocal cycle of Sergey Chechyotko “What my heart needs” for the bass and piano upon the verses of V. Nabokov, S. Esenin, A. Blok and N. Zabolotsky, performed by Andrey Serov under author’s accompaniment as well as “Finnish suite in 6 parts for the percussions with the solo of vibraphone, harp and flute”, performed by artists of the orchestra Stanislav Lebedev, Yulia Komarova, Tatiana Goniashwili, Viacheslav Bagrash, Evgeniy Bank and Evgeniy Morozov (conducted by Konstantin Chudovsky) sounded good. “Kare-quartet”, consisting of Yulia Matveyeva, Anna Nechayeva, Marina Yanovskaya and Tatiana Nakhayeva skillfully played “String quartet № 2 in five parts”.
Finally the “Numbers” were played, the fancy item for two soloists, percussions, trumpet, contrabass and piano upon the verses of Sergey Chechyotko (soloist Dmitry Korotkov and Andrey Serov). The item was encored.
