SUPERB PERFORMANCE OF MARINE ABRAHAMIAN AT RUDOLFINUM
Soloist of Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra, professor of Yerevan Conservatoire, Marine Abrahamian, performed at Josef Suk Hall of Rudolfinum Concert Hall in Prague on June 15. Wild applause made her return 3 times for a new performance. Czech spectators were delighted. "Original performance, superb technique and high performing art", the most influential Czech newspaper MF Dnes wrote the next day. Art critic of Prazhski Noveni, Robert Bland, gave his appraisal, "All maturity of Abrahamian's technique came about as a humble instrument called to express the original musical content... Total command of the theme and the skill of revealing it are perhaps the real mastery of her performance". The author also praises Abrahamian's repertoire, which included Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy and Ravel.
Laureate of Smetana Award back in 1974, student of Jacob Flier of Moscow Conservatoire, Marine Abrahamian reminded the Czech spectators once again of the art and culture that remote Armenia has.
While talking to Marine at a cafe in downtown Prague, an old woman approached us and learning that we understand Czech thanked Marine. It turned out that she attended her concert at Rudolfinum.
The pianist confessed to us that the concert repertoire was rather complicated and that the works she chose are considered to be a touchstone for professional musicians. Marine Abrahamian thanked the organizers of the concert, particularly the Prague Philharmonic that invited her to Czech Republic. "I feel that my concert at Rudolfinum opens a new period for me and gives new momentum to work", she says.
