A live Philharmonia Orchestra concert screening of the 1927 silent film Love, featuring the world premiere of a new score.
The Philharmonia Orchestra provides live accompaniment to a screening of Love, featuring virtuoso violinist Vadim Repin and conducted by Frank Strobel.
Aphrodite Raickopoulou has written a new score for this classic silent film, which is based on Tolstoy's novel Anna Karenina. The score was written especially for the renowned violinist Vadim Repin, whom Yehudi Menuhin described as 'the best violinist I have ever heard'.
Made in 1927 by director Edmund Goulding, Love starred the most celebrated screen couple of the era: Greta Garbo and John Gilbert. The New York Times motion picture critic Mordaunt Hall described Greta Garbo, in this role, as 'a blonde Mona Lisa' and wrote that she 'outshines any other performance she has given to the screen'.
In 2012, Aphrodite Raickopoulou's score for Faustwas premiered in Royal Festival Hall by Carmen Zgouras Special Entertainment.
'Raickopoulou's music mirrored the film's fantastical qualities with intensely-coloured string passages and some Wagner-esque brass... [her] sweepingly symphonic writing amplified the dramatic turbulence of Murnau's movie with a passion that would surely have impressed the director himself.' (The Arts Desk on Faust)
A Carmen Zgouras Special Entertainment Production.
Love starring Vadim Repin and Greta Garbo is dedicated to Mrs Alfiya Kuanysheva for her special contribution to the Arts.
Carmen Zgouras is proud to announce this concert will launch the 2016 UK-Russia Year of Language and Literature, as it is based on Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina.

The INNERview Ep159 Vadim Repin
Interview
As one of the three child music prodigies of his day in Russia, Vadim Repin has long been celebrated in the classical music community. He picked up the violin at the age of 5, and gave his very first stage performance just 6 months later. After turning 11, he drew considerable attention as the winner of a gold medal at the International Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition, and at the age of 14, he debuted around the world including Tokyo, Munich, Berlin and Helsinki. It was only a year later that he was given a chance to perform at Carnegie Hall, and he even set a new record as the youngest violinist to win the Queen Elisabeth International Violin Competition at the age of 17. Ever since then, the award-winning musician has been collaborating with prestigious symphony orchestras around the world.
During the interview, he described what it has been like to work with some of the finest musicians and conductors in the world. He expressed his admiration for the Sejong Soloists, who have been acclaimed as the world′s best ensemble by CNN, and shared about what it was like to perform with them for the second time during this visit. He then went on to describe his relationship with the world-class musician and conductor Chung Myung-whun, and what it was like to study under the tutelage of Zakhar Bron, one of the world′s greatest violin pedagogue.
The veteran musician, who has been gracing some of the world′s most prestigious concert halls, admitted that he feels a wave of anxiety before every performance, even now. This is probably because he constantly pushes himself to give the most brilliant and inspirational performance of his lifetime every time he takes the stage. Meet Vadim Repin, a celebrated violin virtuoso who is known for his brilliant technique, on The INNERview to hear his story!
