HECTOR BERLIOZ, Symphonie Fantastique. Episode de la vie d’un Artiste... en cinq parties in C major, Op. 14
This autumn the Lithuanian National Philharmonic Society welcomes piano music connoisseurs to the fifth edition of the Vilnius Piano Festival initiated in 2009 by pianist prof. Mūza Rubackytė. In 2009, this festival interwove with the celebration of the millennium of the mention of the name of Lithuania; in 2011, the festival was dedicated to the oeuvre of Hungarian composer Ferenc Liszt and the death centenary of the Lithuanian composer and artist Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis; in 2013, having become a cherished tradition, the event presented concert series Inspired by the Muses and marked the 80th anniversary of Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki; in 2015, the festival’s intriguing theme Tandems offered seven piano tournaments.
This year the festival revolves around the idea of an artistic meeting of pianists, collaboration between composer and performer, composer and master of his transcriptions, teacher and disciple. It is the partnership in music, which encourages both blossoming of new talents and emergence of new music masterpieces.
The opening concert of the festival presents Mūza Rubackytė, the Lithuanian piano Maestra, and Renato Balsadonna, an Italian Maestro of the baton and conductor at the Royal Opera House in London. The programme Salutary Love features three romantic masterpieces narrating about one of the noblest feelings. Wagner’s monumental overture to the opera Tannhäuser, which Liszt named program symphony, speaks about eternal dilemma of earthly and heavenly (salutary) love. While in his program symphony French composer Berlioz transforms this theme into a dangerous and all-round destructing love of an artist. Schubert’s Wanderer Fantasy enraptured Hungarian composer Liszt to such a degree that he arranged it for piano and orchestra. This music conveys perpetual quest and destiny of a wanderer, while love here is embodied in a yearning and peace, an aspiration to stop, rest and return to a remote native land. Receiving its Lithuania premiere this version of Schubert’s opus is reminiscent of a piano concerto.

Double Recital. From the Dark toward the Light
The winner of Cleveland International Piano Competition 2003 KOTARO FUKUMA (piano, Japan)
The winner of the UNISA International Piano Competition 2016 in Pretoria and second prize winner in the Arthur Rubinstein Piano Master Competition 2017 in Tel Aviv DANIEL CIOBANU (piano, Romania)
Programme:
LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN, Sonata No. 17 in D minor Tempest (Der Sturm), Op. 31 No. 2
FERENC LISZT, Obermann’s Valley (Vallée d’Obermann) from the cycle Years of Pilgrimage. First year: Switzerland (Années de pèlerinage. Première Année: Suisse), S. 160
ALEXANDER SCRIABIN, Sonata No. 5, Op. 53
MAURICE RAVEL, A Boat on the Ocean (Une barque sur l’océan) from the cycle Mirrors (Miroirs)
MODEST MUSSORGSKY, Suite Pictures at an Exhibition (Картинки с выставки – Воспоминание о Викторе Гартмане)
The festival’s concert introduces Japanese pianist Kotaro Fukuma, the winner of Cleveland International Piano Competition 2003, and Romanian virtuoso Daniel Ciobanu, the winner of the UNISA International Piano Competition 2016 in Pretoria and second prize winner in the Arthur Rubinstein Piano Master Competition 2017 in
Tel Aviv. The performers offer a programme, which they chose to describe From the Dark toward the Light. They see it as a musical path starting with Beethoven’s piano Sonata Tempest written in 1802, a document from a sad phase in the Viennese classicist’s life, and proceeding toward joyous tolling of bells in Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition.
Kotaro Fukuma’s programme revisits his CD. According to the pianist, the musical transformation “from the dark toward the light” starts with Beethoven’s Sonata Tempest. The composer wrote it in 1802 after completing his famous Heiligenstadt Testament (a letter to his brothers Carl and Johann). It reflects his despair over his increasing deafness and disagreement between him and his nephew Karl. This mental state of the doomed wanderer becomes evident in the third movement of the sonata. Liszt’s Vallée d’Obermann follows a lonely artist on his woeful wandering, however the last chords promise reconciliation and transfiguration. The third selection, Scriabin’s Fifth Sonata, could be called the apotheosis of light and joy. The composer included an epigraph to this Sonata (excerpt from his essay The Poem of Ecstasy / Le Poème de l'Extase), which reflects on his the then notion:
I call you to life, oh mysterious forces!
Drowned in the obscure depths
Of the creative spirit, timid
Shadows of life, to you I bring audacity!
The axis of Daniel Ciobanu’s programme is a perpetum mobile, an image of a journey. The theme of wandering is symbolised by a boat in the ocean depicted in impressionist strokes by Ravel in his exceptionally beautiful piece from the cycle Miroirs. With gradual merging of the Promenade motive from Mussorgsky’s suite, the boat unhurriedly carries the listeners on Dnieper River toward Kiev’s Bogatyr Gates.

Vered has been lauded as a chamber musician, and especially praised for her collaboration with Tokyo String Quartet, cellist Sharon Robinson, etc.
Sasha Starcevich is currently enjoying a rewarding career as an international performer and teacher. Since 2003, when he earned his Doctoral Degree from Yale University (USA), the pianist has been performing and leading master classes at home, in Canada, China and Europe.

The guest of the 5th Vilnius Piano Festival – pianist Bertrand Chamayou, a winner of the prestigious Long-Thibaud-Crespin Competition – has performed in venues such as the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Lincoln Center, Wigmore Hall, etc., appeared at major festivals including the Lucerne Festival, Rheingau Musik Festival, Rotterdam Festival, Klavier-Festival Ruhr, etc., collaborated with major symphony orchestras led by Pierre Boulez, Leonard Slatkin, Michel Plasson, Louis Langrée, Stéphane Denève, Ludovic Morlot and Andris Nelsons among other masters of the baton. His recordings of works by César Franck, Ferenc Liszt and Felix Mendelssohn garnered various prizes. In 2011, he received Victoire de la Musique Classique award as France’s best instrumental soloist of the year. In his recital in Vilnius the pianist offers an extremely virtuoso and complex romantic music programme set up from original opuses and Liszt’s enchanting transcriptions. The entire programme as a tempestuous feast of romantic masterpieces is united by one concept: Liszt brilliantly transfers songs and opera fragments by diverse composers into a piano realm, for being one of the foremost instruments of the past centuries it is capable of expressing the deepest and most dramatic emotions. Transcription is the wondrous phenomenon allowing the creators to become true wanderers (the festival’s theme – Wanderers) sharing values, artistic ideas and communicating the beauty of music. Like a golden thread spreading over the entire festival this theme builds a bridge uniting Schubert-Liszt Wanderer Fantasy for piano and orchestra (the Lithuanian premiere of this version) presented at the opening concert and Schubert’s original Wanderer Fantasy (Wandererfantasie, D. 760) performed by Chamayou.

JEAN SIBELIUS, Symphonic poem Finland (Finlandia), Op. 26; Symphony No. 7 in C major, Op. 105
FRYDERYK CHOPIN, Concerto for piano and orchestra No. 2 in F minor, Op. 21
The symbolic title The Sluice Gate Open! the festival’s closing concert testifies to tonight’s soloist Ignas Maknickas, a young Lithuanian pianist born in California, a graduate of the National M.K. Čiurlionis School of Art (assoc. prof. Albina Šikšniūtė). Professor Mūza Rubackytė has been his professional guide since he was nine years old; for almost a decade he has been supported by Mstislav Rostropovich Charity and Support Foundation “Support for Lithuanian children”. Currently, Maknickas continues his education under prof. Joanna MacGregor at the Royal Academy of Music in London. 
Tonight led by Martynas Staškus the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra offers Finnish composer Jean Sibelius’ symphonic music – transparent and powerful, austere and pungent, a symbol of “the land of a thousand lakes”. In addition, the programme features Chopin’s Second Piano Concerto, dubbed one of the pinnacles of piano technique. However, it could also be described as a lyrical poem dominated by a flow of lofty, peaceful and tender emotions with the piano’s unending melodies and lacework passages pouring over the symphony orchestra.
