The State Symphony Orchestra conducted by Rasul Klychev opened the new season with the vocal cycle of Nury Halmamedov entitled "The Unheard Songs of Children of Hiroshima and Nagasaki". Professionals and connoisseurs filled the hall of the Turkmen Musical and Drama Theater named after A.Sh. Makhtumkuli, to become the first listeners of the extraordinary work of the master.
Nury Halmamedov was 7 years old when the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki occurred. The heart of the orphanage boy responded with pain to the tragedy of Japanese peers. A strong emotional shock left an imprint on his work. The composer began to compile verses of Japanese poets dedicated to these mournful events and put on the music the words of seven of them - "Cuckoo", "Rain Feet", "Bird, Red Bird", "Moonlight Night", "Morning Cold", "Canary" , "Colored Rings". The Japanese color and the original musical traditions of the Turkmen people are harmoniously combined in each of these songs.
The scores found by Rasul Klychev in the archives of the maestro can be considered a working version, since they were not performed during the life of the composer. Perhaps Nury Halmamedov accumulated them to create a great work. Rasul Klychev and musicians of the orchestra provided the audience with an opportunity to get acquainted with this unique material.
The immediacy and purity conveyed by Leila Okdirova's soulful vocals reflected the main message of the work: children should have the right to a happy future - this is the meaning of human existence.
The program of the musical evening also included the works of the great Rossini, Weber, Glinka, Rachmaninov and Jimenez, organically woven into the thematic canvas of the concert.
Rasul Klychev, who thanked the audience for the warm welcome, interrupted the incessant applause of the audience. Taking the opportunity, the conductor shared his joy-the State Symphony Orchestra won the President's Prize "Altyn Asyr" for active work to preserve and popularize the national musical heritage.
We join the congratulations to the talented team and look forward to their new bright performances.
