Borodin Quartet welcomes new member

The legendary Russian string quartet has announced the replacement for former first violinist Ruben Aharonian

Nikolai Sachenko will step into the shoes of Ruben Aharonian, the Borodins' previous first violinist, who retired recently.

Founded in 1945, the Borodin Quartet is perhaps best known for its long and close association with Shostakovich, who consulted the quartet members on the composition of many of his string quartets. The Borodin Quartet has recorded the complete Shostakovich quartets no fewer than three times.

The Borodins were also closely associated, for many years, with the great Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter, with whom they made many noted recordings - including a legendary version of Shostakovich's Piano Quintet. The Quartet has had a traditional affinity with Russian music, performing and recording the string quartets of Tchaikovsky, Glinka, Stravinsky, Prokofiev and, of course, Borodin. They also performed at Prokofiev's funeral in 1953.

The Borodins have a series of European dates during the autumn and winter of 2022/23. Highlights include performances at the BOZAR in Brussels, Berlin Konzerthaus, Liszt Academy in Budapest, Liverpool Philharmonic, Wigmore Hall in London, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, and the Philharmonie de Paris.

Winner of the violin gold medal of the International Tchaikovsky Competition in 1998, Nikolai Sachenko has performed with many acclaimed conductors. He is currently concertmaster of the State Symphony Orchestra ’Novaya Rossiya’ under Yuri Bashmet, and has performed in ensembles alongside performers including Bashmet, Gidon Kremer, Lynn Harrell and others. 'The uncompromising pursuit of excellence in musical interpretations has been an unchanging tradition of the Borodin Quartet throughout its glorious long history,' Sachenko comments. 'I am happy to join my friends and colleagues of the Quartet and, together in our shared passion for the quartet world, I hope to continue this remarkable tradition of musical eminence.'

COLLECTIVELY INVENTED BOUNDARIES

Painting: Nikolay Konstantinovich Roerich, Tangla. The Song to Shambhala, 1943

Photograph: Ansel Adams, Mount McKinley and Wonder Lake 

How does one hate a country, or love one? […] I know people, I know towns, farms, hills and rivers and rocks, I know how the sun at sunset in autumn falls on the side of a certain ploughland in the hills; but what is the sense of giving a boundary to all that, of giving it a name and ceasing to love where the name ceases to apply? What is love of one’s country; is it hate of one’s uncountry? Then it’s not a good thing. Is it simply self-love? That’s a good thing, but one mustn’t make a virtue of it, or a profession… Insofar as I love life, I love the hills of the Domain of Estre, but that sort of love does not have a boundary-line of hate. And beyond that, I am ignorant, I hope.

Boston Symphony Hall is a concert hall located at 301 Massachusetts Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts, opened in 1900. Designed by the architectural firm McKim, Mead and White, it was built for the Boston Symphony Orchestra, which continues to make the hall its home. It can accommodate an audience of 2,625. The hall was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1999 and is a pending Boston Landmark. It was then noted that "Symphony Hall remains, acoustically, among the top three concert halls in the world (sharing this distinction with the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and Vienna's Musikvereinsaal), and is considered the finest in the United States." Symphony Hall, located one block from Berklee College of Music to the north and one block from the New England Conservatory to the south, also serves as home to the Boston Pops Orchestra as well as the site of many concerts of the Handel and Haydn Society.

My family and I visited Symphony Hall in 1991 and where we enjoyed seeing Yuri Bashmet playing Alfred Schnittke's Concerto for Viola and Orchestra. The second half of the performance was Berlioze Great Mass in C Minor, a wonderful performance in a wonderful Hall, It's acoustics are everything they claim it to be....

Violinist Marijke announces her intention to learn the viola (in 2018). An interesting video for anyone wishing to learn the viola, while already a violinist. Many famous violinists played the viola: David Oistrakh, Yuri Bashmet (primarily a violist), Janine Jansen, Maxim Vengerov, etc. Of course, many famous composers played both: JS Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Paganini, etc.
