By pure accident on Friday morning I've received information about Bach musical festival in Riga. Within the festival in Riga came brilliant European orchestra Les Ambassadeurs. It was like an answer to my praying about attending some interesting, valuable cultural event.
Concert took place in one of the most romantic places in Riga: Small Guild. Atmosphere was perfect: not much people but still all the sits were taken. Men in classic suits and women in elegant dresses, everyone speaking quietly (even children sitting besides me were quite). Everyone was waiting for a miracle. Alexis Kossenko, - the conductor and the founder of the orchestra, - lead us to the world of a magic and pure beauty. As music started to sound, I felt like I'm a witnessed the opening of a door to a parallel universe. The only word to describe it: pure. Pure world of pure beauty, pure love, pure innocence. Harmonic sounds of violin, oboe, cellos and etc, joined by flute played by Alexis himself. Then angel started to sing. Sabine Devieilhe - soprano guest soloist - is blessed by the voice that plays on the deepest strings. Concert was almost two hours long by personally I haven't even noticed: music took me to the place where time stopped and it was only a present moment that mattered.
If you love classical music and you know that "Les Ambassadeurs" coming to your town, don't miss their concert. It is worth of it.
