on the air say it again, don't be silent. and today our guest is a man from the pit, conductor of the bolshoi theater of belarus yuri karavaev yuri here we will continue our conversation about music and perhaps culinary preferences, whom you would like to invite to dinner, and thank you for an excellent play or aria well, perhaps, this was galina gorelova polina's eye on the zaakinskaya arena and there were a million chances. and you've never been together for the night why do we communicate? well, it didn't make it to dinner. have you already admitted that your favorite composer is prokofiev but if you had dinner with him, what would you talk about with him? it is very interesting to talk to look at him in general in the eye. to touch your head at all, what is going on in the brain, and what do you wonder, what special work do you like?

explain your nature, falling in love cannot be said specifically later, because everything, well, is express, and the symphony is a concert of his violin pianos. that touches your soul completely, so such strings touch that the composer of whose work kept me in general in this profession, because i actually had a choice. e in ninth grade. i thought to go along the musical line or go into medicine, could my parents leave medicine or not? no, no, it's purely my you liked the aesthetics of being able to help people. souls means when you were especially drawn, in the medical you put on a record almost in our bolshoi theater

for nothing, because you can still meet it, but one of the buildings where nikolai karavaev’s editorial office is listed, we don’t have his e photograph, unfortunately, the digital era then . e was not developed and you too, in my opinion, great-grandfathers they are not forced, but illustrative photography tools. do you feel the continuity, in fact, his son? oleg karavaev is a two-time world champion in classical wrestling from a seven-time champion of the soviet union and his brother, too, that is, nothing at all foreshadowed me that i would be a musician. yes, some kind of horn player against the backdrop of the olympic champions.

and there are people who knew him, who you communicated with, then tried to find such people, because i really very interesting. i only know about him from history and only see the notes, and the editorial is written there. what do you know that the photograph does not see either. yes, i saw the photos, of course, it looks like you. well, i don’t know what else i wanted to discuss with you. what do you think, whether the music has changed at least two centuries because of the last one , or, as the heroine said, the times are always the same by and large, nothing changes either. ah, no, but certainly the language, uh, musically changed, of course, apologized, because every time it dictates its own some certainly the essence may not have changed. well, i'll say so, well, when the alignment of forces in the orchestra is like this, and not some other, yes, but when the first violin of the line, the second paper clip, here are wind instruments,

well, you know this layout. she has not changed for many, but several centuries. why is that? it so happened. hmm good question actually. hmm well, because generally a classical symphony orchestra. here he presents, uh, exactly such a palette of sound exactly such a set of tools. that 's all the colors that are. i understand so, that the history of music of the xx century. well, i tried to bring in some new paints as well, remember we had, and pinterest, or something, and he was with some kind of miracle xylophone. yes, they, of course, and uh, you can say they experimented. yes, and now there is such a trend. it's all going on, of course, the search. and he is close to you or you are for the class here, straight classics of the class.

so it's more of a question. in general, this is the composer's hygiene. regardless of what time he was born, in what era, if it is brilliant music, then it is immediately visible and the influence of the form is felt plays no role. yes you want to say. what do you feel when you listen to chanson? to tell you honestly, of course. yes, of course, there are some songs there that can hook the soul there, make them open and close like they say, but i’m only responsible for myself, personally, i feel degradation, because there are very famous scientists from st. petersburg tatyana chernigovskaya is very famous, who takes care of the brain, yes, and she constantly expresses with such modern

slang drowns for classical music, and she this explains the fact that in general here is popular music. yes, there, everything is clear. there is a square structure. you know what will be there in a few acts, as classical music. you are not able to guess what will happen next, and yes , she makes you think constantly, when inexperienced viewers alexander mikhailovich loves to invite people of all kinds to the philharmonic. uh, with experience with all kinds of music, they start to clap out of place. some conductors go crazy, how it annoys them, what happens to you, yuri, if this happens in any case, i’m very glad that the audience comes at all, because it is necessary that they come not for us, but for the audience, this is very developing and inspiring to create such a

snobbish attitude as something so creative positive in this world. well, why are you clapping at the wrong time? no, it's just a matter of time before he learns to react correctly. and when now all uh, internet publications are filled with instructions on how to listen to the opera so how do you feel about it? seriously? i just never saw the seven steps. if you have nothing it's understandable, you don't upset the environment, yes or there , uh, why is it that what happens on the stage and does not coincide with the libretto is explained there? well, there are some completely different ones. well, it's totally amazing. this means that it, well, as it were, begins to be interested in communicating with this art, of course, but did you ever get into a trance on the stage where you listened to, let's say, some kind of vocals. admired his technique and all and did not enter on time. no, i know such conductors, who suffer from this, it happens. well u i haven't been there yet. i'm so concentrated at the moment or do you turn off

do not hear the vocalists, how can we not hear? well, i don't know. well, maybe you yourself are focused , you understand how everything happens in your head at the moment when a tough profession is read the most difficult thing in the world. why because, firstly, in order for the orchestra to sound exactly the way you want, you must have a sound picture in your head at the moment when you start conducting. you listen to what sounds and compare with what is in your head and analyze and instantly figure out what to change for someone to look at, how to look in order to make it not even quieter louder. or maybe inside the sound you know how much more sound is an emotion

in general. yeah, that is, here is an emotional message, then, well, according to the sound of pitch, of course, this should be such an instant reaction, and therefore, especially when it is an accompaniment. he also has such a thing as vertical. and a vocalist is often loved if they have taken it, especially the note is lost vertically. and what do you do, well, you have to look at the corresponding creative is gennady pantelmovich. he said that train the muscles of vision, that is, you can see at the expense, i wanted to ask more. do you have? well, are there any ways to determine talented conductors in front of you or not? how do you do it? how

first, you listen to how the orchestra sounds. because different conductors orchestras sound differently. are you listening, what kind of music, what is it filled with? does it fill it, how does it sound you watch the technique, although the technique. this is not the main thing, but also a very important element. and you know, there are things which is very difficult to explain at the level of feelings, this is all happening. but when you do not come as a conductor, come to a concert some kind of performance and listen to a piece of music with the orchestra. you listen to this as an ordinary spectator, or as a conductor, looking for some flaws. i would fix it here. i would abstract here. you know, i like to abstract in general, completely turn off. if it's a good performance, then it happens. and if there are

some things that catch your eye, and that's sutured. that is, if you are already disconnected, then a good director. by the way, yes, the criteria say the audience in italy germany can scream boo opera artist , and they are very demanding and after the performance, they also throw rotten tomatoes there, and you have toured just in germany , have you ever encountered such a reaction? is there a myth or really there , so to speak, in general, i hear about it for the first time, to be honest, to my shame, i can’t say anything, i have never come across it. unfortunately, the german public treated you the way you did. there is some difference between public and belarusian russian. eh, german is certainly our audience. she is more so reserved yes, a very good word, while the german public. they are

very receptive and they are open to interaction. they are so alive. i'm not saying that our audience is bad. well, such a moment in general, there is, of course, that is, you would like more of this relationship. it's always more interesting, although our audience can stir up very easily knock down. there somehow can be an artist. inclusion such waves go energy, so that it’s just very worth a lot by the state brandburg symphony orchestra. eh, we talked about the audience about the difference between german musicians and ours. there is some difference. in terms of what is different from the school. well, you can hear it, for example, here are the string musicians. they are not that strong. here we have employees

, they are animals. you just understand, such nordic faces always sit with me, they remind scandinavians of elephants. ours in the sense that ours are very strong incredibly strong while there is such a small gap in the west, but there are brass players other. she noticed this when legrance came with his wife. and so they played for the trombone, you drink, but the difference, the truth was there. another slightly different culture and another sound therapy. maybe i heard that they are like that at 6:00 let's go, well, that's it, the rehearsal is over, you had such difficulties with them, adhered exactly to the timing schedule. uh, so we didn't delay can be delayed. indeed, everyone already knows.

what is it only if you are in very good with the musicians vkontakte now there is going on and as if everyone is interested in a good result, so you can linger a little. yes, please agree. sometimes you managed to install vkontakte in big sarchestra. yes, sure. we have a very, very nice photo of you where you resemble yours. can you tell me where this photo was taken and discuss it, let's go the other way , so, we have our own people everywhere. uh-huh well agree that she is good. this is how i do it. yes, that's it. it is interesting that i do not even track, in general, all these gestures. this is how you present yourself to me. well, i i notice in this photo that you have a very large wingspan. well, even i

notice it today in the studio. uh, too, and probably your uh, the profession was predetermined, even by your constitution yuri but nonetheless. where would you like to develop, if we go the other way, and the music in our bolshoi theater has something to work on, in general, of course, i would really like to. to work with the masterpieces of such composers as prokofiev and the cruel double world of lady macbeth because this is brilliant music we hear in germany both that and other war and the world will be the seventeenth. yes, yes, because this is alexander mikhailovich, we have already heard many times in the performance of our orchestra, and i agree with you, it remains to persuade the motor, with which you have the same birthday and everything will work out, but in

principle, musically in the bolshoi the theater wants to change something. well, in addition to the fact that you named exactly the composers you want to put on, you can add some spiritual ones or something else. well, this is more a question for the director of the orchestra, in general, i i want to say that the symphony orchestras of the opera house are very serious, the musicians are very serious and i was very struck, for example, when it was necessary to prepare rachmaninov's second symphony for a visiting conductor, there was the first rehearsal. this is the most difficult composition in general. and i went out and started cooking for the first time, nothing happens. you said, only once you take one word a second time and everything is already working out. that is, it is an indicator of what level of a musician, that

is, everything falls into place. that's why for the country of belarus, a small oddity, frankly, the presence of such a number of symphony orchestras, it is necessary or it would be possible to make one mass orchestra there, as they said, of course, a state symphony orchestra is needed, also the highest level of musicians sit, in which it is impossible to find a large one now. yes, you and four understand. well, ekaterina nikolaevna is dealing with this issue. she invites a contest to be announced on the main sofa. you know it's a very difficult uh cross but even

this is not the point, the point is that in order to become a chief conductor, you imagine what kind of experience you need to have. you think that you are simply not ready yet. the chief conductor is the person who can stand up and tear through any opera, any ballet with his eyes closed. and you can't do that. no, i'm working. only a year, in general, in this direction, in terms of opera and ballet from the current repertoire of the theater, which he heads, yes, that is, you don’t have it yet. here it is in the hands not to work. we will pause for a while after a short pause and again let's go back to this studio, while subscribe to our telegram channel. say don't be silent. hey, leave your comments. offer us guests, and look for all our releases on the youtube channel, belarus is one. how did the history of the circus in belarus begin

? we're all good. she is known in belarus. what is the secret of the success of the bolshoi theater ? what kind of performance will you not come to? here you are enjoy. that's what i guarantee you, never fell into the dirt face. we have always held the bar high and our face at the world level is a sign of quality, we learn all the most interesting things, but belarusian organizations and the people who work there are beautiful, warmly comfortable, what do they say? come, show your art and enjoy yourself, watch on belarus 24 tv channel. they connected their lives with the countryside and realized ideas, in which

few of their entourage believedlin. we are given a hint. that is, i went to car and hear an announcement that something is developing. what is the cargo interested in? i understand. well, there times in the house are not constantly busy with children. so we can say try it. now to cover up some penny, well, i wanted to try another element, the element of a cafe, that is, well, somehow switch, i thought in the city. well, in the city. i mean, i didn't want to. why do i think, well, let me try in the area the heroes of the project about life in the belarusian outback. it's a hard life. in fact. it's hard to work with the land and the fact that these people are already worthy of respect will offer the host to master something new, unusual for a garage, not for classes, a girl with an oar was chekhov was not yet a saint. to think that this is what a person would do, who just a few minutes ago thought that this was a mirror. you, with your whole business, flew where to the table.
