The concert of the young musicians that are coming to Serbia for the first time from a faraway prince\u2019s land called Lichtenstein was described as the \u2018\u2019youth music tsunami\u2019\u2019\u2019. This very announcement was enough to gather a selected audience in Opera and Theatre Madlenianum on April 25<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span>, which will, not knowing exactly what to expect, eventually give in to the tide of youth energy and sail on the wave of the extraordinary music for two full hours. We are talking about a concert of Young soloists LGT consisting of about 15 members from all over the world \u2013 Switzerland, Russia, Austria, Israel, Poland, Netherlands, Great Britain, and Serbia. This string orchestra has recently released a CD\u00a0Nordic dream<\/em>\u00a0with the pieces from Scandinavian composers, so the beginning of the Zemun concert started with the burst of northern freshness and clearness characteristic for the music for this area \u2013 whether it is Grieg, Sibelius or in this case the Swedish composer Dag Wiren.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Although the audience eager to reward the artists interrupted them more than once with ill-timed applause, the \u2019\u2019northern dream\u2019\u2019 was dreamt with a smile \u2013 with a verve introduction, perfectly equable pizzicato and energetic rhythms reminding of the American ones that once inspired Dvorak. From the very start, it was clear that we are faced with a team of exquisite young artists, and by the end of the concert it would be obvious why the Vienna \u2019\u2019Klassik Heute\u2019\u2019 has already placed them \u2019\u2019among the upper leagues of music\u2019\u2019. While the last tone of Wiren\u2019s Serenade<\/em>\u00a0slowly disappeared, the blue coming from the scene was suggesting\u00a0a new awakening, this time under a German sky. <\/span>The music of Paul Hindemith for viola and orchestra was presented by the first soloist \u2013 Anna Krzyzak, who with the warm viola color along with the ensemble, showed all the gentleness and sharp lines of Hindemit\u2019s\u00a0Trauersmusik<\/em>.\u00a0As a counterweight to the German \u2019\u2019objectivity\u2019\u2019\u00a0the passion of Spain and one of the most favorite pieces for violinists and audience as well \u2013 Waxman\u2019s\u00a0Carmen Fantasy<\/em> was performed next.\u00a0The soloist Leo Esselson, with a confidence of a far more experienced artist was brilliantly playing with the virtuoso passages and the lavish themes from Bizet\u2019s opera.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0After the \u2018blue\u2019 segment of the concert and the brief pause, the next segment that will be covered in red nuances of the scene followed. Maybe not by accident \u2013 the first piece that was heard was Tartini\u2019s\u00a0Devil\u2019s Trill<\/em>.\u00a0If there is an imaginary bar that every musician strives to while performing, Christa Maria Stangorra has raised it significantly. Even though baroque might not be too familiar to the ear of the 21<\/span>st<\/sup><\/span>\u00a0Century, it has the unique power to uplift the listeners, and in the case of Tartini\u2019s sonata \u2013 to leave the audience speechless if performed properly. The aforementioned artist did exactly that with her powerful interpretation and expressiveness in the solo part that, resembling the \u2018finger-breaking\u2019 guitarist improvisations, took our breath away and made us imagine Tartini as the \u2018pre-predecessor\u2019 of the \u2018devilish\u2019 rock music.<\/span><\/p>\n
