Movie premiere at Kamarikesä (Chamber Summer Festival), Ritarisali (Palace of Nobility), Helsinki, 5 Aug 2011.
The first part of the concert evening "For Love". The second part:
Johannes Brahms: Two Songs for mezzosoprano, viola, and piano
Jeni Packalen, mezzosoprano
Dalia Stasevska, viola
Kirill Kozlovsky, piano
...
Sergei Rachmaninov: Sonata for cello and piano
Samuli Peltonen, cello
Kirill Kozlovsky, piano
A wonderful musical evening at the Chamber Summer Festival. The young film directors Lauri Danska and Elina Oikari have created a new silent movie to Jean Sibelius's Pélleas et Mélisande, originally stage music to Maurice Maeterlinck's Symbolist play about doomed love, a royal triangle drama between Mélisande and the two brothers Pélleas and Golaud. Lauri Danska and Elina Oikari's film is stark and poetic, refusing to illustrate, instead adding new webs of associations. Todays' screening was the premiere. The movie concert deserves to tour.
After the concert there was a huge vintage car exhibition at the Market Square. Proud owners put their treasures on display, from 1910s T-Model Fords to the astounding 1960s Cadillacs, Chevrolets, and Mustangs.
The nights are getting darker. The Suomenlinna lighthouse-churchtower keeps sending its life-saving rays. In the Merisatama the benji jumpers are almost caught in the crescent of the Moon.
