About

Melodiya presents an album of Paganini and Koshkin by guitarist Artyom Dervoed.

The album features Megaron Concerto live performance recording: the concerto was performed in Kazan in November 2017 with La Primavera Kazan Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Rustem Abyazov and recorded live.

Niccolò Paganini's Grand Sonata was originally written for the guitar accompanied by the violin. Nikita Koshkin decided to choose the Paganini-style quartet for the transcription: guitar, violin, viola, and cello. Moscow Virtuosi chamber orchestra artists Alexey Lundin (violin), Kirill Semenovykh (viola), and Daniil Shavyrin (cello) participated in the recording.

Niccolò Paganini genius distinguished him from the other great musicians of the nineteenth century and was believed to the witchcraft and the "devilish" tricks. He is worldwide known as "the devil's violinist," but a guitar accompanied him throughout his life as well. Although he never performed as a guitarist in public. Yet Paganini's legacy includes dozens of hours of guitar music.

Nikita Koshkin won international fame as a composer in the 1980s, once his "avant-garde" works broke the generally accepted notion of the classical guitar as an instrument locked into Spanish-Gypsy traditions. His works for the guitar contain techniques and tools which provide the audience with a full set of emotions and moods, usually associated with the classical music of the highest caliber. Nikita Koshkin resides in Russia and remains one of the most sought-after world guitar composers.
