Music of theatre and cinema

Alexey Goribol, piano
Polina Osetinskaya, piano
Any chamber ensemble is a living organism, and it becomes mature when interplay – or teamwork – is fully achieved.

Two pianist friends, Polina Osetinskaya and Alexey Goribol, have been “interplaying” for almost fifteen years!..Their duo was born in 1994, when they first performed together Schumann’s “Bilder aus Osten” (“Pictures from the East”). The two musicians were literally burning with their temperaments, until they, being good friends in real life, found that this “competitive spirit” can be the base for their mutual creativity.

As for Polina Osetinskaya, she started her music career as a child prodigy. But it is more correct to speak of her as of two pianists: the one is aforementioned young virtuoso (Polina is not very talkative about that period of her life), the other is a unique mature musician with “take-it-or-leave-it” choice of pieces to perform as well as its rendition. And as such, she has a particular affinity to brand new post-avant-garde music.

“Contemporary music, – Osetinskaya believes, – carries on the older one. It helps uncover the hidden beauty and feelings of the older music, the ones worn out by either decades of blind museum-esque worshipping, or senseless mechanical interpretation”.

Alexey Goribol’s artistic live, too, is divided on two parts. Nowadays he is an acclaimed pianist with amazing emotional strength, creator of original art projects that unite classical music with theatre, ballet, and cinema, the first performer of some of Leonid Desyatnyikov’s pieces… and it’s hard to believe that it was double bass that he studied in conservatory! Alexey Goribol currently performs at the biggest Russian venues, as well as in Europe and USA, and takes part in music and movie festivals. He is prolific recording artist.

“The moment a musician decides to perform a composition, he or she should definitely imbibe it, fall in love with the given music, – Goribol says. – Otherwise it just makes no sense to go on stage. The piece lives inside of you, and you always find in it something that empowers you to handle it to the audience on behalf of the composer”.
