Báo Thanh niên•15/08/2024
August, with many major national holidays, has become a special annual occasion that motivates and inspires the Sun Symphony Orchestra (SSO) to coordinate with the Hoan Kiem Theater to organize international symphony concert events.
This year, the "August Symphony Concert" program with the theme "Brilliance in Harmony: A Night of Musical Mastery" will take place on the evening of August 16 with the participation of famous artists from around the world and Vietnam.
The highlight of the "August Symphony Concert - Brilliance in Harmony: A Night of Musical Mastery" is the performance of Sergei Nakariakov - an Israeli trumpeter of Russian origin. He is one of the most sought-after names on the international stage. Music critics often use flattering words when evaluating Sergei Nakariakov's talent, which is a rare gifted combination of excellent virtuosity, velvety smooth trumpet sound and deep musical sensitivity.
Sergei Nakariakov is known as the Paganini or Caruso of trumpets.
He has been called the Paganini or Caruso of trumpets. Nakariakov brought the flugelhorn to a special place on the concert stage. Nakariakov's musical repertoire was not limited to original works written for trumpet, but also extended to transcriptions by Peter Ruzicka, Uri Brener, Enjott Schneider and Jörg Widmann, where Nakariakov was able to express new musical expressions. Born in Gorky, Nakariakov began playing the piano at the age of 6 and was guided to the trumpet by his father, Mikhail Nakariakov. Nakariakov's father also transcribed many classical works for trumpet and contributed to the building of his son's unique repertoire. He passed on to Nakariakov not only knowledge and technique but also a special feeling for music. Nakariakov regularly performs with many of the world's most famous conductors such as Valery Gergiev, Vladimir Spivakov, Saulius Sondeckis, Christoph Eschenbach, Yury Temirkanov, Jiří Bělohlávek... as well as with famous orchestras. He has high standards in choosing stages and performing partners. Therefore, this collaboration between Nakariakov, conductor Olivier Ochanine and the Sun Symphony Orchestra is not only a wonderful testament to the class of a Vietnamese orchestra reaching the world level but also promises to bring to the music lovers of the capital the pinnacle of artistic works.
Conductor Olivier Ochanine and the SSO Orchestra are actively practicing for the performance.
In this appearance at the Ho Guom Theater, Nakariakov will perform a special work - the trumpet concerto by composer Hummel. Composer Hummel is praised as an outstanding musician and conductor with a rich and expressive style of composition, yet still contemporary. He is famous as a student of Mozart, and was also guided by Mozart's "rival" Salieri, and he was also influenced by his two other teachers, Clementi and Haydn. He also had a close relationship with the great composers of his time, Beethoven and Schubert. The trumpet concerto is one of Hummel's most performed and well-known works. This work has contributed to enhancing the value of the trumpet - one of the brass instruments with a unique timbre and skillful technique.
Tchaikovsky's Suite No. 3 in G Major, Op. 55 will be performed by the SSO Orchestra for the first time in Vietnam.
The highlight of the August Symphony Concert "Brilliance in Harmony: A Night of Musical Mastery" is Tchaikovsky's Suite No. 3 in G Major, Op. 55. The work is being performed by the SSO Orchestra for the first time in Vietnam, so it is highly anticipated by many audiences. The work was conceived from Tchaikovsky's ideas about a symphony but was eventually formed as a Suite written for symphony orchestra. The sound of the work, like most of Tchaikovsky's music, conveys to the listener melodious, lyrical melodies, but mixed with a bit of solitude, a fleeting sadness, which is one of the characteristics of Russian folk music in particular and 19th century romantic music in general.
International and Vietnamese artists are carefully preparing for the August symphony concert repertoire.

Besides three world classical music works, the audience will also enjoy works by two Vietnamese music icons: musician Van Cao with Vietnamese Birds and musician Nguyen Dinh Thi with Hanoi People.
In the splendid and magnificent space combined with the special sound and light levels of the Hoan Kiem Theater, the musical repertoire and careful preparation of international and Vietnamese artists will certainly bring to the music lovers of the capital an extremely impressive and sublime August symphony concert.
