Prokofiev’s Revolution ‘Cantata’ Performance, Birmingham – UK by Roland Williams Photo, Left to Right: Martynas Levickis, Rafal Luc, Conductor Valery Gergiev, Ksenija Sidorova, Amadej Herzog and Trang Nguyen On October 14/15th 2009, during a visit to the UK, the Chorus of the famous Mariinsky Theatre gave two splendid performances of Prokofiev’s ‘Cantata for the 20th Anniversary of the October Revolution’. They performed with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Valery Gergiev. Prokofiev’s ‘Cantata’ is an extraordinary work of musical theatre and of huge proportions in the musical forces it employs. It uses an extended orchestra and choir, a brass band and an accordion band. A most interesting historical background to this work and a review of the concerts is online: From the accordionist’s point of view the work (written in the mid-1930s) is of obvious interest as it is probably one of the first large orchestral and choral works to include an accordion band or significant part for a group of accordions.

Their first half programme included ‘Moonlight in Vermont’, ‘Rosetta’, ‘What are doing the rest of your life?’, ‘Lara’s Theme’ (Harry solo), Moonlight Serenade’/String of Pearls’ (Harry solo), ‘I’m old fashioned’, an untitled valse musette (learned from YouTube!), ‘Tritsch Tratsch Polka (Ken solo), and ‘How High the Moon’. Johnny Coleclough opened the second half with ‘The Shadow of Your Smile’, after which Harry Hussey returned to play some requests, which included ‘Carte Postale’, ‘Petite Fleur’, and ‘The Petite Waltz’. Ken Astin then went on stage, and the duo performed ‘The Girl From Ipanema’, ‘The Nearness of You’, ‘The History of Love’ (played as a tango), ‘Fine and Dandy’, ‘Wheels’, ‘Patricia’, and ‘Deep Purple’. Their encore, to conclude a most entertaining evening, was ‘Tangerine’.

Ken Astin (Vignoni ‘Compact’) and Harry Hussey ( ‘Superstar’) – both 5 voice instruments - have just completed the recording of a new CD, ‘Just Friends’, done acoustically and with no MIDI, unlike their previous CD, ‘Our Kind of Music’.
