We all sit in the same boat / LR3 / / Latvijas Radio

Liepāja Concert Hall “Lielais dzintars” invites to the Inese Galante Foundation new project Viva Latvia first concert, in which the unique soprano owner, opera singer Inese Galante and the new star of pianism Daumants Liepiņš will perform together.

They will be joined by the winners of the Inese Galante talent competition, who have already made themselves bright in the world – the soloist of the Latvian National Opera and Ballet, tenor Artjoms Safronovs and the young baritone Daniils Kuzmins.

In Thursday’s “Irresistible Conversation”, she tells more about this beautiful event herself Inese Galante and the singer Artyom Safronov.

“The idea came quite by accident,” notes Galante. “Due to the fact that we were all prisoners, because we sat in houses, apartments and could not go or go anywhere and life had changed a lot, I received an interesting call from Dr. Rafael Ciekur, who works in the ambulance team. He is always very warm, treats me with love, is very charming and nice himself, and he said – it would be very right and pleasant if I dedicated my famous Kitten “Ave, Maria” not only to his brigade, but also to all doctors, patients and those who working in such a strange, unusual time.

After the first profession, I am also a doctor, and it is clear that it was addressed to me immediately … Sitting in Germany with my family, we started thinking about how to implement it.

Because I am in Germany, pianist Andrejs Osokins, with whom I wanted to record, is in Latvia, but my colleague, a very good saxophonist, with whom we perform a lot, is stuck in Portugal … It was a task that had to be solved. It took a while, and little by little, we put it together.

It wasn’t a daily job for me – with a microphone in my ear; I had to hear and listen to what was happening all the time, but we recorded it, “says the singer and recalls that this composition has become very popular after her first CD” Debut “- it has gone around the world and the people have begun to look for notes of this work.

“I was even called from La Scala libraries as everyone suddenly started singing Ave Maria!

So something there is one that works and affects the human soul. It was like a blow. And from all this came the nice idea that it could be a new project – an action Viva Latvia.

The idea is that everyone who lacks music, stage, concerts, operas, who are used to it all like bread and milk, should have something for the soul where they can tell about themselves, about their feelings, about how they spend this time –

not everyone lives in ideal conditions, nor does everyone have relatives, friends and loved ones.

We were all scattered all over the world. Now we want to unite everyone together to say that we all sit in the same boat, think of each other, give strength, wings, good omen, and we are all one family.

It is very important – to feel the shoulder, friendship, warmth and that someone thinks and cares about you. And you can express yourself from the heart. It was meant both for the residents of Latvia, and for our “import” guests, because

At one time, when I started driving all over the world, people asked – where is Latvia, where is Riga?

Until then, only Miša Maiskis, Gidon Kremer, Mariss Jansons, Philip Hirschhorn were. When I was asked – you all like that, I answered – even better …

And the other, who had come here with doubts, asked after the first day he spent in Latvia, when will you call me again? Oh, what about the land, oh, what about the people, oh, what about the audience …

That’s why we came up with the idea that we could all be in a positive mood. Hear what the other thinks and says and that he is in our herd …. “

The singer is also enthusiastic about “Big Amber”. “This hall is very, very good – there is very good acoustics, the building is attractive, Liepāja is no stranger to me, I have sung quite a lot here. (..) We have been organizing Inese Galante’s talent competition for six years and we want to introduce our future We want to give strength to the young soloists, we want to show them what awaits them, what is meant by the big stage and a serious audience. Latvia ‘s name is heard in the world, and it already has its place with everyone saying – oh, such a small country and so many talented people, I want it to continue so that they can compete in the world.

Because the world is small, but the competition is very big. “
