1. Reviews On Music Of Elena Firsova And Dmitri Smirnov Michael vaiman (violin) with his brilliant pianist son, daniel, gave the first performanceof Vernal Equinox Op. 94, commissioned for this birthday concert. http://website.lineone.net/~dmitrismirnov/Revienglish.html

TEXTS GALLERY CDS ELENA ... SEARCH REVIEWS: Roy al Academy of Music: Elena Firsova's 50th Birthday Concert I think it was in 1987 – with the confidence of (relative!) youth, and a regular critical platform to present my case – that I proclaimed Elena Firsova the finest Russian composer to have emerged since Shostakovich. Over the next few years, London's musical scene did at least seem to be considering this strangely unfashionable idea for itself. High-profile commissions materialised, to which Firsova responded with creations as memorable as her Autumn Music for chamber orchestra (1988) and Odyssey for seven players (1990) – two works among others that received glowing reviews (not just from myself) at their London premi¨res. Firsova's decision to move, with her husband and fellow-composer Dmitri Smirnov and two (then) very young children, from Russia to England seemed to have been vindicated, not only in terms of the better life they wanted for their family, but in growing musical success also. A decade later? Things have turned out, on one level at least, not to be quite like that. Elena Firsova must have found it hard to come to terms with one of the cultural specialities of the over-sophisticated West: that of "discovering" a composer, enthusing over his or her works for a while, and then dropping it with the same abandon in order to chase after the next vogue. She is still not the world-famous figure that her music insists she should be. Does this concern her? Perhaps not overmuch, to judge from the unpretentious personality who warmly thanked both the audience and the performers after a concert given for her 50th birthday, at the Royal Academy of Music's Duke Hall.

Concert Review Elena Firsova 50 th birthday concert. Royal Academy of Music, 5 March 2000. This was an extraordinary musical party. The Duke's Hall was packed for a concert introduced by Barry Gavin, who had made memorable TV films during 1990 about composers in Soviet Russia. The images of a large number of them eating, drinking and talking, crammed in the tiny kitchen of Elena Firsova and Dmitri Smirnov's small Moscow flat, are unforgettable, and a significant contribution to recent history. Both are now well-established composers in this country. Half (well, not quite) of London's leading musicians, and some impressive younger ones, took part in a three-hour retrospective of Elena's compositions. Alissa took part, with fellow-pupils from the Purcell School, in Frozen Time , a Schubert Ensemble commission for their Chamber Music 2000 project see review to create contemporary music for teenagers - its 'quasi-romantic material treated in a contemporary manner' wholly successful, and performed with complete assurance. Philip Firsov provided my illustration and sold his mother's scores during the intervals. Michael Vaiman (violin) with his brilliant pianist son, Daniel, gave the first performance of

Russian Easter Weekend in London , 28-30 April, also reviewed by Patricia Rosario 's accounts of two groups of songs, and as soloist in a major Cantata to poignant poems by Mandelstam, are perhaps the high points; she is in perfect voice, captured by expert engineering at the Royal Academy of Music.
