Composed in 1983 "Spring Games" reflects a pantheistic delight by Awakening of the Nature, by its eternal Beauty. The String Orchestra is divided in 2 semispheres which could remind an ancient Greece amphitheater with a soloist in the middle ( so successfully played by S. Zakorsky ).
Odessa Philharmonic Orchestra has wonderfully performed "Games" conducting by Maestro Mariss Jansons who estimated this composition very highly .
On this slide-show one may watch the III-nd part "The Games" in which there are the associations with the 2 first parts .
TOUCHING !

Dear Maestro Freidlin !
At last I get all 3 parts of "Spring Games" ! The problem is to choose the best from the best ! Thank you so much ! - Mikky

A good example of how a modern piece of music can be a today experience, yet remain tonal and melodic like the old classical stuff. The Freidlin right mix of dissonance and tension is probably the secret to this music that calls to be listened to again and again. Great job by Zakorsky, Odessa Philharmonic and Mariss Jansons, a pure joy.
