An evening entitled "Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra" in the Great Hall of the Belgorod Philharmonic Society opened on October 8 the subscription program "Reflection of Time" of the Concert Orchestra of Wind Instruments (chief conductor - Yuri Merkulov, conductor - Alexander Yagovdik).

In her short greeting (with the presentation of awards to the artists of the orchestra), the director of the BGF Svetlana Borukha noted that in the new season, his fans from the brass band - and the hall was full as always - are traditionally waiting for new ideas, new guests, new repertoire news. And, as it was rightly noted, Yuri Merkulov and his team, having once firmly decided that “the public must be constantly surprised”, never deceived the listeners' expectations.

And this time Yuri Merkulov's KODI brilliantly continued the baton of past brilliant concerts of the opening of the season - in the Organ Hall and the Philharmonic as a whole. The initially inspiring and uplifting sound of the brass band shone and sparkled like a well-polished gemstone yesterday.

It is difficult to speak about yesterday's concert except in exclamations and enthusiastic interjections. Courage is the word that best describes the atmosphere of last night. Courage as courage and ecstasy of performers with their skill, youth and talent.

Starting on the highest note of the solemn and festive ceremonial march (N. Iwai - Hoorey for Hollywood), the performers did not reduce this emotional degree one iota. For two hours, the listeners admired the splendor of wind music, either purely entertaining, or dance-pop, or academic-classical.

The defile of Belgorod trumpeters - Andrei Dolinsky, Eduard Borisovsky, Vitaly Guryev, Nikolai Pustovit, Nikolai Kravchenko, Valentin Vdovichenko, Yevgeny Kolesnikov and trombonists Dmitry Saitov and Viktor Skrynnikov - in each part was crowned with a solo by Yevgeny Guryev with the orchestra.

The guest of the evening - "Belgorod Muscovite", laureate of international competitions, soloist of the Bolshoi Theater Orchestra - grew up in the famous Bessonovka, a village glorified by the name of the outstanding Belgorod agrarian V. Ya. Gorin. Evgeny Guryev grew up in a family where they played (and still play) musical instruments, and out of three brothers, Evgeny and his younger brother Vitaly (now an artist of Y. Merkulov's orchestra) became professional musicians.

Many people remember the performance of Evgeny Guryev two years ago in the Great Hall of the BGF as part of the Brass Quintet of the Bolshoi Theater Orchestra led by him. During his visit today, the 30-year-old musician also gave a master class for wind students of the Belgorod College of Music and the Institute of Arts and Culture. This new moment of philharmonic life - the interaction of outstanding touring artists and the Belgorod musical youth - became permanent at the initiative of the new leadership of the philharmonic.

Evgeny Guryev graduated from a music school in Kharkov. By the way, his Kharkov teachers were at the concert. Among the teachers of E. Guryev at the Gnessin Institute, among others, was the legendary trumpeter Timofey Dokshitser. His school is in a soft, even, “flying” sound, in a very beautiful cantilena of “long” breathing, in virtuosity that knows no barriers. For two hours the trumpet of the "King" Yevgeny Guryev and his wonderful "entourage" sang hymns to freedom, masculinity, joy and beauty of life.

And, just like the soloists' performance, the hall was inspired and "lit" by the intoxicating intoxicating performance of a huge orchestra conducted by Yuri Merkulov and Alexander Yagovdik.

In the orchestra, no doubt, compared even with last season, there was a qualitative leap. The unity and integrity of the sound of the groups (for example, in carrying out the theme in "Beauty and the Beast" by Al. Menken, nine pipes sounded like one), the exact sound balance between the groups, the impeccability of tempo transitions, the timbre patterns of the orchestral texture, infinitely varied in clarity and density, and , most importantly, admiring all this in colorful and elegant cheerful compositions could not but lead the hall into complete delight.

Yuri Merkulov, who for a long time "without sparing his belly" wins "his" audience with the optimistic beauty of the sound of a good large brass band, today he is celebrating a complete victory. Today is the "finest hour" for the Concert Orchestra of Wind Instruments and its leaders, and the listener's need for such sound optimism is unlikely to be exhausted soon.

Truly, “talent is the only piece of news that is always new.”
