Life

The former child prodigy Spivakow studied at the Moscow Conservatory with Yuri Yankelewitsch and as a guest student with Dawid Oistrakh . As a violinist he is both a soloist and a chamber musician, preferring duos ( Ludwig van Beethoven , Johannes Brahms ). In 1979 he founded the Moscow Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra , an ensemble with which he plays almost everything from the baroque ( Johann Sebastian Bach ) to the modern ( Dmitri Shostakowitsch , Alfred Schnittke ) repertoire. Spiwakow and the Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra relocated to Spain in 1999 and 2002. It supports and promotes young Russian up-and-coming artists. The laureates of the International Rotary Music Competition in Moscow - Anna Denisowa, Anna Sawkina and Narek Arutjunjan - have performed with his Moscow Virtuosi Orchestra. Since 1989 Spiwakow has succeeded Karl Münchinger as artistic director of the International Music Festival in Colmar (Alsace). From 1999 to 2003 he was chief conductor of the Russian National Orchestra . Since 2003 he has been General Music Director of the Russian National Philharmonic. The headquarters of the orchestra is the International House of Music in Moscow, which opened in 2003.

Prizes and awards

Spivakov received a number of national awards from the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic ( RSFSR ) and the Soviet Union as well as the Armenian Order of Saint Mesrop Mashtots and the Order of Merit of Ukraine 2nd Class.

In 1994 the asteroid (5410) Spivakov was named after him. He was awarded the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and in 2000 he was appointed Chevalier of the Legion of Honor and later an officer of the Legion of Honor.

Political position

In March 2014, Spivakov signed an open letter from Russian cultural workers supporting President Putin's position on his policy towards Ukraine . On May 11, 2014, after the concert of the Moscow Virtuosos conducted by Spivakov in Cambridge (USA), Dr. Roman Torgovitskiy, a Harvard graduate, took the stage and sarcastically thanked Spivakov for signing the letter. On May 18, 2014, about a hundred people demonstrated in front of Lincoln Center in New York, where a concert by the Moscow Virtuosi was to be held, and demanded that he withdraw his signature.
