The history of the competition began in 2012. Today, the Knushevitsky Competition, named after an outstanding representative of the Russian cello school, is the only independent international competition in the specialty "Cello" in our country and has already become a noticeable phenomenon in the international musical life.

The organization of the competition was dictated by the desire to preserve the memory of the remarkable Russian musician, to popularize the cello performing arts, and also to give young musicians from Russia, as well as from countries near and far abroad, an opportunity to show their talent.

The competition jury consists of well-known figures of the world musical art. The jury was headed by a student of S. N. Knushevitsky, professor at the Moscow Conservatory, People's Artist of Russia Igor Gavrysh. Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Competition - Rector of the Moscow State Conservatory. P. I. Tchaikovsky, Honored Art Worker of Russia, Professor Alexander Sokolov.

The competition is held thanks to the charitable financial and organizational support of the Foundation SAFMAR.

The creative competition is held in two age categories: the younger group - up to 18 years old and the older group - from 18 to 26 years old. Every year the competition expands its geography. This year young cellists from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Hungary, France, Germany, Kazakhstan, China, Turkey, Uzbekistan, South Korea compete. By tradition, after competitive performances on the stage of the Saratov Regional Philharmonic named after A. Schnittke, the laureates will perform a concert in the city of Petrovsk, in the homeland of Knushevitsky. The winner of the 1st prize in the Senior age group in the concert season 2016-2017 will be invited to perform in Italy with the Genoa Symphony Orchestra.

Chairman of the jury of the competition, People's Artist of Russia Igor Gavrysh Summing up the results of the II competition, he noted: “I am very glad that history is being created before our eyes - the Knushevitsky Competition is expanding and growing. It naturally opens up a lot of new things for us: it gives the participants an amazing opportunity for creative development, the search for new ways in the performing arts; becomes the beginning of their own musical destiny… We hope that the competition will have a chronicle rich in events and names, it will live and develop…”.

Press Service of the III International Svyatoslav Knushevitsky Cello Competition.

The competition dedicated to the great musician first existed in the format of a festival, then a children's competition was named after Svyatoslav Knushevitsky, and in 2012 the organizers decided to "wipe" at an international competition. And if at first there were doubts whether it would be possible to gather an international composition of participants in Saratov, then they dispelled as soon as applications for the first competition began to arrive. And by the third, their number had almost doubled. This year 14 cellists under the age of 18 (younger group) and 21 musicians under the age of 25 (senior group) took part in the competition. Among the participants are musicians from Russia, Belarus, Hungary, Germany, Kazakhstan, China, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, France, South Korea.

The competition, according to the participants and jury members, attracts with its friendly atmosphere, although the audition schedule is very busy, and the compulsory program is difficult and almost immediately, from the first round, highlights all the strengths and weaknesses of the contestants. In the "senior group" it is Bach, Schubert and Popper's virtuoso piece. It happened that the contestant instantly conquered with the interpretation of Bach - the purest intonation, the "talking" sound of the instrument, but ahead - Schubert's Arpegione, which requires an emotional romantic impulse, a subtle sense of style and form. And then - the impetuous "Dance of the Elves" that completes the program. It was he who turned out to be the most tricky for many contestants, determining concert endurance. As a result, not everyone was able to complete this marathon.

Based on the results of two rounds in the "junior group" and three rounds in the "senior" group, the winners were determined.

Zhai Zi Mo, a 14-year-old cellist from China, won the 1st prize among juniors. The young musician began studying at the age of three, first on the piano and then continued as a cellist. He is already the owner of prestigious prizes and awards, to which he has now added a victory at the international Knushevitsky competition. The jury awarded the second prize to Mikhail Makhnach from Belarus. The young musician is studying MSSMSH them. Gnessin, performs a lot, and this is his first award. The third prize was shared by Bok Yul Ji (Republic of Korea), Bakhytzhan Tolzhuma (Kazakhstan) and Lyudmila Funtikova (Russia).

In the senior group, the victory went to two Russian performers at once: Rustem Khamidullin and Darima Tsyrempilova. Rustem Khamidullin, who received the 1st prize at the 2nd All-Russian Music Competition, entered the first round of the 15th Tchaikovsky Competition without preliminary selection. The unsuccessful performance at Tchaikovsky did not break the musician, and at this competition, according to him, he no longer felt excitement, he played freely and with inspiration.

Darima Tsyrempilova attracted with a bright artistic manner of performance. Her Gancino cello (Milan, 1700) sounded refined and refined. The jury also decided to share the second and third prizes. Silver - Madeleine Duso (France) and Alexandra Perlova (Russia). Bronze went to Hungarian Andre Stankovsky and Russian Timur Kolodyazhny.

Direct speech

Marie Therese Grisanti, French cellist, jury member:

Such an undertaking as a competition associated with the name of the great Russian cellist Svyatoslav Knushevitsky must be supported, and it is very good that this competition is not held in the capital. In France, for example, everything happens only in Paris. But it is absolutely necessary to open "new" Russian cities. I adore Russia, I have traveled all of it from Moscow to Vladivostok, I have even been to Lake Baikal. I really like Saratov. And I would like the competition to develop, because it has a future. He is already well known in Europe - in Germany and in France. Such meetings are very useful for everyone: your school and ours, German and English, Chinese… All cellists of the world can come here, they know that they will be listened to very attentively. Still, the competition bears the name of the great Knushevitsky.
