Alexis Feodorovich Lvov was a talented Russian #vi

Alexis Feodorovich Lvov was a talented Russian #violinist, #conductor and #composer. Born in 1798, he joined the Russian army as a young man and enjoyed rapid promotion, becoming adjutant to #Tsar #Nicholas I. In 1833 he was commissioned by the Tsar to compose the #Russian #imperial anthem, and his composition 'God Save the Tsar' was later used by #Tchaikovsky in his #1812 Overture. In #1837 #Lvov succeeded his father as Director of the Imperial Chapel.

Lvov toured internationally as a soloist, playing Mendelssohn's violin #concerto with the composer, and playing recitals with Franz #Liszt. In 1840 Lvoff made a concert tour to Leipzig and Paris. There he visited Vuillaume, commissioned the violin and requested that #Vuillaume decorate the back of the instrument. He was also responsible for the Tsar's instrument collection, and in addition to this violin, he ordered two further instruments from Vuillaume which bear the same coat of arms - a #cello which is a copy of the Batta #Stradivari, and an Octobasse dated 1849, now in the collection of the Gesellschaft der #Musikfreunde in #Vienna.

♦️Renowned for its opulence, Olgovo was once one of the richest estates in the Moscow region. Owned by a noble family for nearly two hundred years, it had a rich history – and an impressive art collection. After the 1917 revolution, the collection was nationalised and for a short period in the 1920s the estate became a museum, before later falling into ruins. More details of its story and the work representing it at the upcoming @bonhams1793 #russianartweek #russianartweek2021 #raw2021 auction are available via the link in our bio ♦️

Patience is a multimedia creation where music by B

Patience is a multimedia creation where music by Benjamin Ellin @benjaminellin and photography by Gérard Uféras @gerarduferas came together. It came alive through interpretation of pianist Olga Jegunova @olgajegunova and videographer Fanny Uféras.
Patience was created during corona crisis in 2020-2021 when the arts world was put on hold and culture became available through the virtual communication. This has inspired 4 different artists to unite in mutual creative adventure.
