Extractions: Europe is preparing to welcome Vladimir Putin in Paris, despite the fact that the war in Chechnya continues, dirty and cruel. Every day, young Russian soldiers die, but twenty times more Chechens die, primarily women and children. Winter is again returning, adding to the sense of hopelessness and despair of the defiant population condemned to drift in its ravaged capital, annihilated towns and mined lands, deprived of all the necessities of life, exposed to bombardments, random shootings, tortures and mass executions. As in Kosovo half the population has fled to camps (in neighboring Ingushetia) where nothing has been prepared for another winter. Putin will explain with great pleasure that the Russian army is doing what it must and that Europe must support its crusade against "international terrorism." We fear that, except for a few critical whispers that will soon be forgotten, the silence of our representatives will only strengthen Putin in his murderous determination. We are afraid that short term calculations will lead to the barter of the martyrdom of a whole nation for the triumph of the great petroleum deal that Mr Prodi is negotiating: will gas in exchange for blood be the last word of European civilization?

Extractions: Tempo magazine Performances of Eduard Tubin's music happen far less often even in Estonia than his status as the country's most important symphonist would suggest. So the First International Tubin Festival, entitled 'Eduard Tubin and his Time,' broke musical ground not simply by exposing a number of Tubin works in concentrated concert but also by placing them in the context of his contemporaries, some of them even less familiar figures than Tubin himself. The Festival took place over an extended period (4-14 June 2001), which meant that I could go only for the second half and therefore missed several works I would like to have heard, not least the Scriabinesque Preludes for piano by Tubin's teacher, Heino Eller (1887-1970), played by the Festival organiser, the pianist, musicologist and politician Vardo Rumessen, and the 1935 Piano Quintet by Eduard Oja, another of the short-lived composers who populated Estonian music history so

Extractions: preparing for his piano recital, he was doing his duty as a member of parliament, running from crisis to crisis, from discussions and nightly decisions on political matters of destiny to the more trivial matters of the festival. Not only from duty, but from a deep personal interest, the Swedish ambassador in Estonia, Elisabet Borsiin Bonnier, has in a model way honoured both of Tubin's home countries by assuming the role of the official protector of the festival, as well as introductory speaker. The Chinese violinist Xiang Gao kissed the score of Tubin's first violin concerto, written during the German occupation of Estonia. It was a touching gesture of affection, but not really necessary, since every note from his bright instrument, so rich in overtones, was a declaration of love. If he is; for young musicians he's very, very hot!

Extractions: www.kul.ee/emc/ets May 28 - Juny 12, 2004 Dedicated to the greatest Estonian symphonist Eduard Tubin (1905 1982), the Festival was founded in 1990 by pianist and musicologist Vardo Rumessen. Well-known conductor Neeme Järvi, also first recorder of all Tubins symphonies, has worked next to him all along the festivals. Tubins works unfold at the Festival in the panorama of Estonian and world composers of his time. Of great importance is the fact that the music of Tubin and other Estonian authors is performed here by renowned foreign artists as well, who take this music with them further into the world. The Music Days are followed by a scientific conference and new publications about Tubin. The Festival is organised by the International Eduard Tubin Society (founded in 2000) in collaboration with Eesti Kontsert and the Artistic Director is Vardo Rumessen , head of the Tubin Society The patron of the Festival is the Swedish Ambassador in Estonia, H.E. Mrs. Elisabet Borsiin Bonnier.

Extractions: BUY NOW Crotchet AmazonUK AmazonUS We are in safe but inspired hands in any project associated with the pianist Vardo Rumessen. Rumessen, having already, recorded the complete piano music of Tubin and Tobias now turns to a varied recital of 20th century Estonians. Some of these pieces, as we shall see, are securely and benevolently harnessed to the nineteenth century. Urmas Vulp is a name less familiar or if you will, even more unfamiliar. He graduated from Tallinn in 1977 and then studied in Moscow. In 1984 he founded the Tallinn String Quartet and is its leader. The 'speaking voice' of his violin has humanity and a quick pulse. Rest assured he avoids the excesses of Sarbu or Belkin though he does not achieve the tonal purity of say Viktoria Mullova or Cho-Liang Lin.

Extractions: ProPiano Vardo Rumessen is something of a hero amongst those fascinated by Estonian concert music. He gave the US premiere of Tubin's Piano Concertino in 1993 and has also performed, in concert, works by Tobias and Tubin. BIS have his 3CD set of the complete piano music of Eduard Tubin in their catalogue. Rumessen knows the Eller Preludes from the inside. This is no exclusive recording project for him. His belief in the music suffuses his playing and he draws on deep wells of warmth as well as potency of technique. He performed the Preludes in concert in 1987 and it is also worth noting that he has given concert recitals of the complete Tubin piano music and piano pieces by Saar (1982) and the complete fifteen Etudes-Tableaux of Rachmaninov (1980). Given his approach to the Eller I suspect that his performance of the Rachmaninov cycle would be a force to reckon with if only a recording existed. The pianist is also active as a publisher having personally published Estonian music by Saar, Tobias, Kapp, Oja and Eller. Rumessen it was who realised Rudolf Tobias's oratorio
