Elegant outfits

The two soloists, Olga Peretyatko and Dmitry Korchak presented their demanding program with charm, happiness and temperament. Furthermore elegantly dress, mr. Korchak in a jacket suite, in e deliciouse grey colour, which underlined how slim, and well build he is. ms. Peretyatko made a mini fashion show, first in a deliciouse black evening dress, followed by a top in  beige/black combinations with a generouse black long skirt, and in the last part a lovely shining palliet full dress in gold and turquise colour. To ake the time to change, gives such a concert extra festivitas. It was all honoured with standing applause, which is not normal from the rather “conservative” audience at Theatre des Champs Elysees..

Orchestre de chambre de Paris, conducted by Manuel López-Gómez.

One side of such a successfull concert are the outstanding soloists. However, to get such a brilliant result, the orchestra, Orchestre de chambre de Paris, is of the greatest importence. This evening they did it! During their brilliant and very musically conductor Manuel López-Gómez, the orchestra played, like they have been playing this repertoar all their life
. A Brilliant sound, first class soloists leading all groups, specially amazing in the wooden groups, also the piccolo flute, and the great harp in the parts it participated in. It became extraordinary, and furthermore, that they have choosen such a good program, where the best ouvertures was giving the great atmosphaeres for the whole evening, between the singing numbers, and keeping the good mood all the time. Extraordinay

. BRAVO.

But it didn´t end with the official program. Three encores, inclusive the famouse tenor aria with 9 high C´s from La Fille du regiment, sung by this young world class tenor Dmitry Korchak.
