reviews

The principal winner (of H. Dutilleux competition, 1999) is the russian
composer Vsevolod Chmoulevitch... His piece, close to that french style, has seduced not only the jury, but also the public, who gave him its prise...
"Piano" le Magazine"

One colorfull, merry, innovative and absolutely contemporary!
"La Nouvelle Republique"

Vsevolod Chmoulevitch is a composer with great culture and great
lucidity.
"L'Echo - La Marseillaise"

The bright costumes, the effects of the light and the music of Vsevolod
Chmoulevitch filled with modern rythms and dansing melodies - all creates
the festive atmosphere, the wonderfull and fantastic show.
"Peterburgskaya affisha"

Repertoire of this remarkable evening should be attributed to a special trend, named as third current and located between serious, academic and simple, entertaining music.

Once, a hundred and fifty years ago, this direction was confirmed by Johann Strauss, who conducted Pavlovsk summer seasons. Polonsky, who is very successful as composer at this field, reminds also by the look his far precursor in the "Grand waltz" film.

Vsevolod is perfectly looked at the conductor's stand: he is young, slim, with aristocratic face and manners…
