Evgenia Milova about the social events of the week
The past secular week sounded diverse and loudly – from modern and world classics to chanson and rock. The first note was composed by the composer Ilya Demutsky to the glory of Nicole LCD from Mr Private. Information that Mr. Demutsky would write the original symphony by order of the developer circled Moscow almost two years ago and caused an ambiguous reaction. Still, one thing is the ballet “Gabriel Chanel” for the Bolshoi Theater, where the Chanel house helped with archives and created costumes. And here – the residential complex, even if the Dlux class is a step from Red Square. However, historical justification was also gathered for the world premiere: the program mentioned the Motet of Guillaume Dufai “Nuper Rosarum Flores”, written for the consecration of the Santa Maria-Fyore Florentine Cathedral in 1436. Continuing this line, the composer pointed out that his work is a musical cathedral, where every note is like a stone in a desire for harmony. All this would have struck the imagination to death, if Mr. Demutsky would not be a truly beautiful composer. And so that none of the 1700 guests doubted, the symphony selected an exceptional frame – the execution by the Musicaeterna orchestra under the direction of Theodore Kurentsis in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. The lobby was covered with a black carpet and decorated with flowers, guests were ordered to put on the evening. Even such honored people as Marina Loshak, Margarita Pushkin and architect Nikolai Lyashenko had to sit in the amphitheater. The stalls were occupied either by people who could pay from 2.4 million to 5.5 million rubles. For a square meter, for example, Mikhail Kusnirovich, Artem Zuev, Yakov Panchenko, or pillars of culture like Olga Galaktionova, Oleg Menshikov and Nadezhda Mikhalkova. Even Olga Karput did not refuse to invite. It’s not that her husband Pavel those, co-owner of Capital Group, forbade her to go to the events of other developers, but still an atypical case.
The Nicole symphony was so voluminous that even the organ sounded in it. After Theodore Cuentsis and the orchestra with no less passion were performed by the Francesca da Rimini Tchaikovsky, and even for sweet, after applause, it sounded from the “Nutcracker”-as you know, Mr. Kurentzis works on the principle of “so that no one leaves in ecstasy”. For the final consolidation of the effect, he went to the guests of After-Party, held at the Stella di Mosca Hotel.
I must say that even without an alliance with MR, Theodore Krentzis previous two evenings reigned in BZK with Symphony No. 5 of Tchaikovsky and Strauss songs. Igor Schechenlev, Mikhail Fridman, Anatoly Vasiliev, Lyudmila Maksakova, Dmitry Aksenov, Alexey Teacher, Alexander Kogan, Sofiko Shevardnadze and even Lyubov Kazarnovskaya, have not appeared anywhere else have come to listen to him on his own initiative.
Further in social events, it was also not without builders: in the already surrendered facility Dmitrovka IX from the Engeo Development, the Antiplyan party took place. To admire Moscow from a height and listening to Lyubov Uspenskaya was invited in one of the penthouses, with two terraces and a balcony so far. One of the hottest sucks at the party was a discussion of the price of these apartments. They agreed that this is not the main apartment for bachelors or married couples who want to leave children outside the city and throw a party. They say that one of the invited even really became interested in the object. Nevertheless, Muscovites that evening were improved not only by the apartment issue, but also by black caviar with pies from the restaurant “Dr. Zhivago ”, who entered the amazing harmony with the repertoire of Mrs. Uspenskaya: Victoria Shelyagova danced barefoot, Sergey Minaev was gaining inspiration, and everything was decisively sang everything.
Then the rock battleship began: the Friends Foundation, celebrating a decade, revived the legendary format when very solid people fought with each other for the right to be considered the best rock performer. For Rock Charity Battle, the central children’s world on Lubyanka was closed an hour earlier – and this, of course, is a very expensive gift to the fund from the store. Ivan Urgant led Rock-Battle and auction, and only the lazy did not joke about Urgant and Lubyanka-guests gathered with such an optimistic mood. If before it was possible to play a full -fledged half -hour set, now only three songs, and not a single own essay. This seemed to have somewhat equalized the possibilities for victory. In fact, of course, no. The winners were determined by the guests: during the evening they threw chips in transparent urns, which they bought for money. What to hide, each participant came with a support group, which in advance understood who would vote for. And the system itself only approved the stuffing in these elections – still on charity. In a word, there were practically no intrigues. No wonder Ivan Streshinsky was such a good manager that he became a resident of the Forbes list – everything turned out to be perfectly organized, and he won along with the ISB group with a wide margin.
One of his competitors – Oleg Sysuev, as part of the Five Against Wind team, was extremely lyrical. The first song-“Night Bird” by Konstantin Nikolsky-he devoted to those who today “for some reason not with us”. And the last – the Jovial « hey, beauty » by Vladimir Kuzmin – to his friend Boris Nemtsov. The continuity of generations in this rock and roll of charity was shown by Dmitry Razumov, who brought to the stage of the debutant of the battle-the son of Ivan.
