VARAŽDIN BAROQUE EVENINGS UNDER GUIDANCE OF COMPOSER DAVOR BOBIĆ (2007-2014)
Zdenka Weber
; Varaždin
Sažetak
Since the beginning of the Varaždin Baroque Evenings in 1971 and untill 2006 the programming of the festival was led by one of its founders Prof. Vladimir Kranjčević, the respected Croatian conductor. Prof. Davor Bobić was nominated as the director of the festival in 2006 and so the programming, organization and realisation of the festival became his duties. It should be stressed that the new director dedicated his attention to soloists and ensembles specialized in authentic interpretation which results from the research of the musical practice during the baroque era as well as in the performance practice which means usage of the original instruments of baroque period or their copies. Much has been acheaved concerning this authentic interpretation and performance and the most of the musicians from abroad as well from Croatia belong to this kind of interested performers. Another important achievemnt of Prof. Bobić was his idea of billateral cooperation with different states and the plan to invite one of them each year to be the partner-states of the festival. The idea was very successfull in its realisation and the audience could get to know different national baroque music heritages. The partner-states have been Slovakia, Israel, Czech Republic, Germany, Polen, Austria, Russia, Italy and in 2015 France. So it was really possible to hear the less known music and perfect interpretations of the international musicians. Further programmes have been organized in Varaždin and concerts have been given in many neighbouring states as well as in Croatia spreading the fame of the festival and getting critical reviews in many cities. For this fame the festival awards „Ivan Lukačić“, „Jurica Murai“ and „Kantor“, which was given by the Croatian daily newspaper „Vjesnk“ for several years, were allways very important because they are incorporated into the biographies of the winners and so spread the fame of the festival. It is right to say that Prof. Bobić continued the tradition of the Varaždin Baroque Evenings but he also achieved greater recognition of the festival on the international level which without any doubt will be of great importance for its future. New partner-states, and for 2016 it will be Spain, will certainly be important for the promotion of the baroque town of Varaždin and of Croatia, as culturally interesting city and state.
