In the third season of the project, Vanya supported the participant Veronika Ilyukhina, performing with her and leading her to the finale.Finally, his participation in the concert of the memory of Kemerovo was like a real revelation. When he played Mozart, he managed to present a great music, as if Mozart's music was mused and mourned.

After that, he moved from St. Petersburg to Moscow and entered the Central music school at the Moscow Conservatory. Right now his activity is expanding, and the repertoire is replenished. It would be no exaggeration to say, that all members of his family a very taleneted. He has two brother-violinists, who also have a great success.

I believe in his talent, I believe in his artistry, and I hope that he will show himself on the best side».</p> <p><strong>An interview with Ivan Bessonov, a participant of the 19<sup>th</sup> Eurovision Young Musicians 2018 </strong></p> <p><strong><img alt="" src="https://cdn-st1.rtr-vesti.ru/vh/pictures/o/167/168/2.jpg" style="height:301px; width:400px"></strong><br> <em><span style="font-size:11px">Author: Vladimir Shirokov</span></em></p> <p>The <strong>Eurovision Young Musicians 2018 </strong>is coming! Representatives from 18 countries will arrive in Edinburg to demonstrate their academic music skills. Russia will be represented by <strong>Ivan Bessonov</strong>, a finalist of the all-Russia <a href="https://ptica.tv/" target="_blank"><strong><u>Blue Bird</u></strong> t</a>elevision song contest, a diploma winner of the <strong><u><a href="https://tvkultura.ru/brand/show/brand_id/59666/" target="_blank">Nutcracker</a></u> </strong>international <strong>television young musicians contest, a </strong>laureate of <strong>Grand Piano Competition</strong>, and of other prestigious contests. Here is an exclusive interview with <strong>Ivan Bessonov</strong> by our reporter <strong>Yuliya Zinkovskaya</strong>.</p> <p><strong>Yu.Z. – </strong>Was it difficult to grow up in a family of professional musicians? You started playing the piano at the age of six. Have you ever thought of a different vocation?</p> <p><strong>I.B. – </strong>Actually, our mum and dad (I have two younger brothers-violinists) have studied almost everything in music on their own, and whatever they lacked in terms of professional training, they decided to give it to us to the fullest extent possible. It was hard at first, as my dad, who was teaching me to play the piano, didn’t excuse a single inaccuracy. We used to struggle over a few complicated bars for many hours. Such regime excluded any thoughts about a different vocation.<br> <br> <strong>Yu.Z. – </strong>You go to the Central Music School, where musical subjects are followed by non-musical ones. For example, physics or maths goes after solfeggio. Do you like to shift your attention between different subjects, or is there only music in your world?</p> <p><strong>I.B. – </strong>There is no problem with shifting attention. All subjects contribute to the global picture and even enrich music to some extent. However, my most favorite subject is solfeggio.</p> <p><strong>Yu.Z. – </strong>They say, those children, who are keen on music, don’t like doing sport, and vice versa. Do you agree?</p> <p><strong>I.B. – </strong>I totally disagree! In fact, I believe, child-musicians are those who should do sport as actively as possible. But they should be very careful not to get injured, as their bodies also serve as continuation of the musical instruments. Practicing music for many hours is very harmful for the body, so it absolutely needs both physical and mental rest. I adore sport, even too much! I constantly either hit myself, or stretch something, or get a bruise, but I can’t help it…</p> <p><strong>Yu.Z. – </strong>How would you evaluate your artistry skills, which are often necessary for performing at a concert? I know that as a child you used to make up and act out some sketches. Do you do it now?</p> <p><strong>I.B. – </strong>I think there is no sense coming on stage if one has no artistry, no special emotional make-up. The audience not only listen, but also watch. To watch what is going on with you on stage is critically important. Otherwise, it would have been possible to simply record the music and turn it on in the concert hall. My brothers and I improvise and act out sketches and whole scenes at home, but as for public performances, I try to act anything out with the help of music.</p> <p><strong>Yu.Z. – </strong>Do you often pick up a book? What kind of books do you prefer?</p> <p><strong>I.B. – </strong>I read a lot, and I read greedily. It’s a big problem, I need time for practicing the piano, and for, say, maths, and then I have a complete set of Chekhov’s works on my desk. I have read almost everything, Chekhov is an awesome author and an amazing person. I simply adore him! I also like Jack London, Bulgakov, Mark Twain’s late works, Pushkin, and many others.</p> <p><strong>Yu.Z. – </strong>You perform the greatest classical pieces of music on a daily basis. And what music do you have in your CD player?</p> <p><strong>I.B. – </strong>It may sound strange, but I don’t like modern pop-music. I have some different kind of musical thinking, I guess, and pop-music lacks some information and emotion, that might have been of value for me. So, at present I’d prefer to avoid any pop-concerts. But jazz is a different story! I enjoy listening to jazz improvisations of many artists, and I’m glad I managed to attend Denis Matsuev’s live performance. His jazz improvisations, as well as his father’s (Leonid Matsuev), have long ago disturbed the peace in our family.</p> <p><strong>Yu.Z. – </strong>Three years ago you made your debut as a composer, having written a piece of music for <em>Varicella</em>, a documentary by Viktor Kosakovsky. How many pieces are in you musical portfolio now?</p> <p><strong>I.B. – </strong>Quite a number of pieces, but not so many as I’d like to. I’m constantly writing. It's another matter that I don’t always have enough time and energy to pay proper attention to it. I manage to notate some pieces and simply video record others. I feel I should write more, but how do I find time for it? I still need to go to school!</p> <p><strong>Yu.Z. – </strong>In 2015 you took part in the <em>Nutcracker</em> young musicians contest, held by <em>Russia-Kultura</em> TV channel. A year later you participated in the <em>Russia-1</em> TV channel’s <em>Blue Bird</em> project. What did these contests mean for you?</p> <p><strong>I.B. – </strong>It’s amazing how, despite the contest results or the awards won, interesting performances were followed by a huge number of invitations to take part in all sorts of concerts and festivals. All of a sudden, I found myself to have visited half of the world – from Africa to the Far East.</p> <p>The <em>Nutcracker</em> is a very demanding professional contest for young musicians. It is very closely followed by famous educators and outstanding conductors. My brother Danila even performed his own piece of music, written for the <em>Nutcracker</em>, with <em>Moscow Virtuosi</em> under the baton of Vladimir Spivakov.</p> <p>The <em>Blue Bird</em> contest is simply a festivity, a fairy-tale, a gift. The <em>Russia-1</em> TV-channel team together with Daria Zlatopolskaya created an amazingly sincere project with deep respect towards the little heroes. And this project presents the children with a vast audience of their art admirers.</p> <p><strong>Yu.Z. – </strong>You are going to represent Russia at the 19<sup>th</sup> <em>Eurovision Young Musicians</em> competition in Edinburg. Could you tell us a few words about the preparation for the competition. What will your performance be about?</p> <p><strong>I.B. – </strong>I wouldn’t call it a competition, wouldn’t even use the term. Music is, before everything else, some sort of spiritual hunger, it is an international, probably even universal language for expressing something inexpressible, something that is far beyond human understanding. How could the result be divided into first, second, and third place? It will be a concert, and even the smallest concert demands absolute sincerity, commitment, and love. My performance will be about my feelings and emotions, about my love to the works of great composers, about my attempts to unriddle and communicate what they felt while writing their music. And of course I will be struggling to give joy to people.</p> <p>Our viewers are given a unique opportunity to watch Ivan Bessonov’s performance at the Eurovision Young Musicians in Edinburg! <strong>The Russia-Kultura TV channel will broadcast the semi-finals of the<u> <a href="https://tvkultura.ru/brand/show/brand_id/63053" target="_blank">Eurovision</a></u></strong> <strong>on August 20 and 21.
