Solidity, brilliance and maturity
Solidity, brilliance and maturity
"Russian violin virtuoso convinced the public despite his youth. The high quality of the Russian violin school has been proven.
Paderborn (pk). The Paderborn Philharmonic could hardly demonstrate its intention to support young soloists entering the international concert world more emphatically and at the same time more successfully than with the first concert of their third season.
Instead of the originally scheduled violinist who fell ill just in time for the 1st Philharmonic Concert on Monday in the Paderhalle, the just 17-year-old Nikolai Madojan turned out to be a resounding win for the solo part in Tchaikovsky's violin concerto. We can only congratulate the Paderborn Philharmonic Society on this courageous decision.
The young violinist convincingly represented the high quality of the Russian violin school. He has won several international competitions and has already made guest appearances in North America, the Netherlands and the Federal Republic (at the Schleswig-Holstein Festival).
Sure, you could see that the modestly performing artist was only 17 years old, but what you heard showed as much solidity, brilliance and maturity that some artists only achieve in later years (or never at all). Nikolai Madojan's well thought-out interpretation of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto to the last detail was absolutely convincing, did not avoid any of the numerous difficult requirements of the solo part, and he mastered it without exception.
Madojan is still more of an excellent technician than a soulful romantic, but he still dominated the middle movement of the Tchaikovsky concerto and hit the sensitive tone even more than the accompanying orchestra. There was 'bravo' shouting and an encore from Paganini."
