MOZART, MENDELSSOHN AND BELLINI

The central voice of the royal Concertgebouw orchestra in Amsterdam, Alexei Ogrintchouk, has said that the oboe is the most physically complicated instrument in the world, and its complexity has put in the Guinness Book of World Records.  Ogrintchouk learned his mastery and musical taste at the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music in Moscow and at the Paris Conservatory.  He has also studied under some of the world’s most distinguished orchestral conductors, first and foremost Valeri Gergiyev and Mariss Jansons.  Ogrintchouk says that he feels an artistic need to conduct music, because his amazing experience with chamber music has been wonderfully facilitated by music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Felix Mendelssohn.  Vincenzo Bellini, in turn, composed only one instrumental concerto, and its beautiful melodies will be performed by Alexei Ogrintchouk and his lyrical oboe.
