Rodion Shchedrin - 80

On top of barriers with Igor Pomerantsev

The other day it turned 80 years old Rodion Shchedrin. The “on top of the barriers” has a special relationship with the composer. In the mid-90s of the last century, Shchedrin was a frequent guest of our program. I like his work, and that's why. Shchedrin is not afraid to compose beautiful music, beautiful and courageous ("And the root of beauty is courage," B. Pasternak). " Bella Akhmadulina said that Shchedrin’s “music kisses music”. I would add that thanks to Shchedrin music, you remember that some kisses are of divine origin. And one more opinion, also the poet: “Shchedrin is a large“ Sh ”of Russian music. What a talent should you have to create a treasure out of our shit and horror! ” (Andrey Voznesensky)
