ALEXANDER TUTUNOV, Pianist
Yesterday’s inspired performance was underwritten by Jim Collier. Tutunov’s “Commentary
on Raphsody in Blue” was a big hi;t with the audience. Widely recognized as one of
the outstanding virtuosos of the former Soviet Union Dr. Tutunov was First Prize
winner of the Belarusian National Piano Competition and winner of the Russian National
Piano Competition. Tutunov's playing was described as "exhilarating and inspired,
and which demonstrated a unique talent". by Soviet Culture, Moscow. Dr. Tutunov
maintains a busy performing schedule in Europe, China, Mexico, and the United States
as a recitalist, soloist with orchestra, and on radio and television. Dr. Tutunov

The following description is that on our season brochure and does give a fairly good idea of what they do. However, the personnel changed at the last minute due to visa problems. Peter said that the new group was even better. Their driver filled in on acoustic guitar and drums on some of the numbers. Considering that they had arrived at the Craterian just before the concert after a long drive from Sunnyside WA, they performed very well. (I personally felt that some of the numbers were selected to showcase the strengths of the individuals rather than working as an ensemble. On many pieces the soloist did his thing and the rest of the ensemble were just accompanying.)
Jürgen Kerth (www.myspace.com/juergenkerth) lived up to his reputation as the best blues guitarist in Germany and Marcello got a standing ovation for his rendition of the Sarasate Violin Sonata. Particulary early in the concert I had the feeling of being in an intimate club, listening to some good friends jamming. (rrc)
The Indigo Ensemble, a chamber music quartet with a nontraditional instrumentation
consisting of violin, electric guitar, bass & piano. Their repertoire encompasses
four continents and three centuries. The aural possibilities of the group are enhanced
by the fact that all the musicians play multiple instruments. Their repertoire is
completely uninhibited and ranges from Bach to Ravel to Duke Ellington to Jimi Hendrix
to Astor Piazzolla to Hugo Blanco. Members of the Indigo Ensemble have been collaborating
with one another for many years. What started as sporadic musical encounters evolved
into an eager exploration of world chamber music by four committed friends who share
one common goal: to make intimate, fun, exciting music without borders, always reaching
to connect with each other and the audience. Our audience remembered double bassist,
Peter Nelson, from his appearances with the Thüringer Salonquintett (10/13/08 and
