Piano and violin harmony in challenging works

"Chopin Piano Fest" has brought attention to the sounds of the piano in this year's edition as well. With the playing of the pianist Klejda Tare, the sounds of the violin of Elvin Hoxha Ganiev are wrapped. The masterful interpretation of the instrumentalists made the concert and the stage where they played magnificent.

The program with masterpieces of the last century has brought color to the series of challenging works. It was the violinist Elvin Hoxha Ganiev who opened the concert with the sonata of the Belgian Eugene Ysaye. The pianist Tare also joined in the performance.

Together they introduced the public to the musical journey of the composers of the last century. The works of the Frenchmen Debussy and Messiaen and the Russian Prokofiev were also performed. The Albanian pianist, Klejda Tare, has assessed the latter's sonata as challenging in interpretation.

"The program was a collaboration between the two. It was a bit special as it included works from the XNUMXth century and beyond. There are composers, especially Messiaen, who are rarely played due to the technical difficulties of the instruments that play his works. Even Prokofiev's sonata is one of the most difficult sonatas for violin and piano."

For the Albanian-Turkish violinist, Elvin Hoxha Ganiev, it was the second time he performed on the Kosovar stage, after the one with the Kosovo Philharmonic Orchestra years ago.

"This is the second time here, but since the first time I have liked the atmosphere and the audience. People are very kind and interested, so it's always a pleasure to play for the public in Kosovo".

The artistic director of the festival, Lejla Pula, appreciated the performance of the duo Tare and Ganiev, expressing her happiness that they were present on the stage of "Chopin Fest".

"They brought a wonderful performance with so many colors, with so much virtuosity, with peak artistic and musical collaboration. I am really very happy, not only for the general audience, but also for our students who had the opportunity to enjoy another performance. Truly an extraordinary talent that will continue to develop on a global scale."

The organizational director of the festival, Besa Luzha, has estimated that the interpretation brought many colors.

"The program chosen by violinist Elvin Hoxha Ganiev is extremely difficult. It's from the most modern era, it's not from the classics. Pati Messiaen, Debussy, Prokofiev, are works with many requests. It was a night that I have rarely experienced, as the works for violin and piano are very serious and very demanding. Everyone was following him in one breath. The violinist and the pianist were very harmonized and coordinated."

Tonight, on the third night of the international classical music festival "Chopin Piano Fest", the Balkan sixtet "Pro Arte" will perform.

The festival will continue with the concerts of this edition until June 9.
