Vladislav Bulakhov (Conductor)

Vladislav Bulakhov graduated from the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music as a violinist in 1984. In 1983, he joined the re-established New Moscow Chamber Orchestra headed by Igor Zhukov. Bulakhov‘s ten years of experience in this orchestra, added to the intensive study with his father, a professional conductor, formed the foundation for the creation of the Seasons Orchestra.

His first significant performance as a conductor was at the First International Festival of Classical Guitar in November, 1994. Subsequent concerts in the summer and autumn of 1995 in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, featuring works by Handel, Mozart and Britten, followed by a successful orchestra tour to Germany with compositions by Bach, Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich, clearly demonstrated that a new and original young conductor had emerged on Moscow‘s musical horizon.

Mr. Bulakhov‘s artistic manner is characterized by convincing, precise and rhythmically clear gestures, a natural temperament and the ability to bring out each individual voice in the musical score. His intimate knowledge of stringed instruments enables him to achieve an extraordinary variety of orchestral tone colors with expressive articulation and a seemingly endless range of dynamic gradations. The conductor‘s careful consideration of the composer‘s score and his attention to details are displayed in unity with the confident perception of the architectonics of the musical whole.

Vladislav Bulakhov, conductor of the Seaasons Orchestra, is capable of interpreting works of various musical eras and styles with equal skill. He possesses the ability to learn new compositions quickly and proficiently, has a talent for management and the capacity to work hard, all of which promise an interesting and creative future for this musician.
