Word from the Rector of the Russian Academy of Music. Gnessins:

More details Collapse http://www.gnesin-academy.ru/

The concert hall of the Gnessin State Musical and Pedagogical Institute (as the Academy was called until 1992) was opened on November 21, 1958.

The history of the construction of the hall of the largest music university was quite complex and lengthy. Back in 1936, the design of the new building was approved Music College and the Gnessin School (there was no institute yet - it arose in 1944 as the highest level of a full range of musical education). The author of the project was the architect A.V. Tishin. It involved the construction of a hall with 500 seats and designs for the interiors of the hall, stage, etc. were developed. Construction of the building began in 1937. Thanks to the incredible energy and perseverance of El. F. Gnesina, who constantly appealed to the highest authorities, construction continued successfully until the start of the war, but after that it was frozen.

In 1943, Gnesina sought to resume construction. The construction had to be carried out with great difficulty - there was a war, there were no workers, materials, financial resources. With the creation of the Gnessin Institute (GMPI) in 1944 and the planned opening of a ten-year Special Music School, the Gnessin Combine arose, consisting of four educational institutions of all levels music education. The building was urgently needed. Director - El. F. Gnessin - continuously submitted petitions regarding construction (she wrote to V.M. Molotov alone at least seven times). Its pace was slowing down all the time, and Gnesina had to make enormous efforts to speed up construction. In this regard, it was decided to split the construction into three stages. The last one was the Concert Hall, and its construction was postponed. In 1946, the main part of the building (the first stage) was completed. The institute and the entire “music plant” grew rapidly. Many large educational groups appeared - choirs, orchestras, and opera class performances took place. The problem of training groups was constantly getting worse, and for each concert it was necessary to rent halls (after all, the Institute only had a Small Hall). The lack of their own hall significantly slowed down the entire work of educational institutions.

In 1954, taking advantage of a suitable situation (awarding the Order of Lenin in connection with the 80th anniversary), El. F. Gnesina resumes active attempts to achieve the construction of the hall. She turns to the then head of government G.M. Malenkov, then to other bosses (Chairman of the Moscow City Executive Committee) with persistent requests. As a result, in 1956 a new hall was laid. After construction began, the original design of its interior was changed at the insistence of a major expert in acoustics, Professor S.P. Alekseev. Construction still did not progress fast enough, and students, teachers and employees of the Institute constantly provided assistance to the builders. “Subbotniks” were organized - this happened especially actively at the final stage of construction. Ate. F. Gnessina supervised the entire construction - she chose the materials herself (for example, she several times refused the proposed options for a large chandelier and demanded the installation of chairs from the most the best varieties Karelian birch). All work was directed by the director of the Institute, Yu. V. Muromtsev. The opening of a new hall in Moscow was widely covered in the newspapers.

It was assumed that the capabilities of the hall's stage would be universal: large groups could perform here, opera performances could be staged (for which the orchestra pit was made) - this gave special value to the hall. The installation of an organ was also planned (it was even ordered and manufactured). But during the initial calculations, they could not find a solution in which both the organ and the orchestra pit could be installed at the same time, and organs in the hall appeared only many years later - in 1995.

Many famous Gnesin performers, including Lev Oborin, performed at the gala concert dedicated to the opening of the hall. The symphony orchestra of students of the institute under the direction of O. M. Agarkov performed a specially written “Solemn Overture” by composer F. E. Vitacek.

After this, several more gala concerts took place. One of them was conducted by Evgeny Svetlanov - three piano concertos by Rachmaninov were performed.

Almost from the very beginning of the hall's existence, student opera performances began to take place here. The first of these was Mozart's Don Giovanni. The stage of the hall provided an opportunity for full stage solution performance - with scenery and full orchestral accompaniment. The result of the work on preparing performances and opera excerpts with students was the creation of the Institute’s Opera Studio. It opened in 1976 with Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro (the studio received official status in 1978) and began presenting regular performances throughout the season.

The permanent director of the studio is Yu. A. Speransky: thanks to his enthusiasm, it quickly turned into a real theater, gained great popularity, and began to conduct numerous educational cycles for children. Over the years of operation of the Opera House-Studio, 30 premieres have been prepared.

The teachers of the Institute immediately developed a series of concerts and subscriptions, with special importance attached to educational concerts. Such themed concerts(and concert cycles) musicologists gave introductory remarks. In the first years, a lecture hall was equipped directly next to the hall (on the third floor), in which, before the start of the subscription cycle concerts, a musicologist gave a short lecture to the audience with a short lecture on the upcoming program. Up to 20 such subscription cycles were held annually in the hall, where teachers and students of the university performed.

In addition to concerts organized by Gnesin residents (guest musicians were often invited), from the very beginning the hall was used by other organizations. Two concert organizations, in Soviet time former “monopoly” in Moscow - the Moscow Philharmonic and Moskontsert - constantly held chamber, symphonic, and choral concerts in the Gnessin Hall.

The hall for music schools in Moscow turned out to be especially attractive. Opportunity to perform in both orchestral and choirs, and soloists on big stage was used by almost all music educational institutions in Moscow - and not only in Moscow. For many, the main reporting concert of the year (or even the anniversary one) was the concert in the Gnessin Concert Hall. Of course, the Gnessin schools performed here especially often (a tradition that took place until the mid-1970s is being resumed again at the beginning of the 21st century - this joint concerts all representatives of the Gnesinsky complex).

Of course, over half a century the hall has hosted so many memorable concerts and music festivals that any selective listing of them is absolutely impossible. All the outstanding musicians who worked in educational institutions named after the Gnessins performed here. Their anniversary creative evenings were often held here. There were many premieres: for example, Maria Yudina, for the first time in the country, performed here with her partners Bartok’s Sonata for two pianos and percussion, whole line The premiere was performed here by the Madrigal ensemble. Many of Stravinsky’s works were performed for the first time (including Le Noces, forgotten for many years). Gala concert for the 100th anniversary of the birth of El. F. Gnessina in 1974 included the first performance of the composition “Eugene Onegin” with music by Prokofiev. Here, for the first time, almost all of Webern’s works (for his centenary), “The Unknown Rachmaninoff,” and evenings of 20th-century music were performed in one concert. The Russian premiere of Haydn's opera Orpheus and Eurydice (The Soul of a Philosopher) took place here in 1995 under the direction of J. Boning and under the patronage of those present at the concert legendary singer J. Sutherland. It is impossible not to recall, even in such a cursory sketch, the repeated performances in the hall of Svyatoslav Richter - his solo concert in 1966 he specially dedicated it to the memory of Olga Fabianovna Alexandrova-Gnessina.

Big festive events were the 90th birthday of Elena Fabianovna Gnessina (1964) - numerous “stars” of music came to congratulate her; 25th anniversary of the Gnessin Institute (1969), 50th anniversary of the Academy (1994), when E. F. Svetlanov, a graduate of the university, conducted the student orchestra; 60th anniversary of the Academy and 130th anniversary of El. F. Gnessina, when the monument to the founder and permanent head of the Gnessin educational institutions was unveiled in front of the entrance to the hall. Major events in the life of the university - from annual meetings on the occasion of the new school year, all kinds of exams and historical meetings with outstanding people - take place here. On January 24, 1964, a meeting took place in the hall with one of the most famous people planets - Yuri Gagarin.

The most important change in the life of the hall occurred in 1995. On the initiative of organist A. V. Fiseysky, two large electric organs were ordered - in Holland and in England. One of them was donated by the Academy, the other was purchased by the city government. The grand opening of the organs took place on October 25, and the hall became the only one in Moscow where two organs were installed. One of the first organ evenings was the concert of Irina Arkhipova with Oleg Yanchenko, which became a big event.
