Info zu Arturs Maskats Accordion Concerto, Tango, Cantus diatonicus & My River Runs to Thee

"Der lettische Komponist Arturs Maskats (geb. 1957) steht seit Jahrzehnten im Zentrum des lettischen Kulturlebens, insbesondere im Bereich Theater und Oper. Neben Opern, Bühnenmusik und Filmmusik umfasst sein Werkkatalog mehrere Orchesterwerke und -konzerte, Lieder und Chorwerke. Dieses neue Album des lettischen Nationalorchesters und seines Dirigenten Andris Poga enthält eines von Maskats' neuesten Werken im Bereich der Orchestermusik: sein Akkordeonkonzert (2021), das hier von seiner lettischen Kollegin, der Star-Akkordeonistin Ksenija Sidorova, einem der klügsten Namen der heutigen klassischen Musik, gespielt wird. Maskats' Kompositionen sind tonal, oft romantisch und cineastisch und von einer tiefen Atmosphäre geprägt. Seinen internationalen Ruf verdankt er vor allem seinem Tango (2002), einem preisgekrönten Werk für Sinfonieorchester, das auch zu den meistgespielten Orchesterwerken eines lettischen Komponisten zählt. Im Jahr 2022 wurde das Werk auch von den Wiener Philharmonikern und Andris Nelsons in der Reihe der Sommernachtskonzerte in Schonbrunn aufgeführt. Im Grunde genommen macht Maskats mit dem Tango etwas Ähnliches wie Ravel mit dem Walzer in seiner La Valse."

Ksenija Sidorova
Encouraged to take up the instrument by her grandmother steeped in the folk tradition of accordion playing, Ksenija Sidorova started to play the instrument aged six under the guidance of Marija Gasele in her hometown of Riga. Her quest for more exposure to both classical and contemporary repertoire took her to London where she became a prize-winning undergraduate and postgraduate at the Royal Academy of Music studying under Owen Murray.

Praised as “revelatory” (New York Times) with “breathtaking virtuosity” (The Observer), Ksenija Sidorova is the leading ambassador for the classical accordion. Both a unique and charismatic performer, Ksenija is passionate about showcasing the vast capabilities of her instrument. Her repertoire spans from Bach to Piazzolla, from Efrem Podgaits and Václav Trojan, to Erkki-Sven Tüür and George Bizet, as well as new accordion concertos composed especially for her, plus a multitude of chamber projects.

Ksenija has worked with many leading orchestras including Munich Philharmonic, Tonhalle Orchester-Zurich (residency in 2020/21), Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen (Paavo Järvi), National Orchestra of Belgium (Aziz Shokhakimov), NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, MDR-Sinfonieorchester, Atlanta Symphony, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Kammerorchester des Bayerischen Rudfunks, NHK Symphony, Hong Kong Philharmonic, Camerata RCO and Tiroler Symphonieorchester Innsbruck.

She continues her artistic collaborations with Avi Avital, Pietro Roffiand her chamber music partners include Nemanja Radulovic, Andreas Ottensamer, Miloš Karadaglić, Camille Thomas, Goldmund Quartet, Juan Diego Flórez, Nicola Benedetti. Ksenija often appears at Ravinia, Cheltenham, Mostly Mozart, Schleswig-Holstein, Gstaad Menuhin, Verbier and Rheingaumusic festivals.

She has released a new album called Piazzolla Reflections on alpha recordings in 2021.
