An international festival of organ music starts this Thursday in Kaliningrad, a city in the northwest of Russia that before WWII was part of Germany and bore the name of Koenigsberg, to commemorate 325 years since the birth of Johann Sebastian Bach. Five evenings in the city’s 14th-century cathedral will be full of music by the great German composer, his contemporaries and followers. The festival will be opened with a piano quartet from the US, who, together with the cathedral’s organist, laureate of international contests Artyom Khachaturov, will perform Bach, Beethoven and other composers. Khachaturov will also give a solo concert in the cathedral. Bach’s admirers will also be lucky to hear Olivier Latry – professor of Paris conservatory and organist of Notre-Dame de Paris – with his solo program named “Bach and German romanticism”. Connoisseurs speak of Latry’s interpretation of Bach as of original and graceful. Mr. Latry speaks high of the organ of the Kaliningrad cathedral where he already performed two years ago.
