SERGEY
CHECHETKO,
piano

SERGEY CHECHETKO received his professional education in music schools of his native Mariy El Republic, and in piano classes of Kazan and Moscow State Conservatories. He won first prize in the "Young Talents of the Mariy El Republic" competition. Mr. Chechetko has worked in the Helicon Opera Theater in Moscow since 1998. He has an enduring interest in recording new music, and performs it with particular ease, intelligent taste, and technical brilliance.


The distinguished Russian tenor, NIKOLAI DOROSHKIN, was born in Moscow. He began his professional career there very early, singing in the children's choir of the Bolshoi Theater. He was graduated from T. Loshmakova's solo singing class of the Gnesin Music College in 1987, and continued his education in Y. Grigoryev's class at the Moscow State Conservatory. He studied in Italy with Maestro Claude Thiolas from 1992 to 1994, and in 1996 he took additional lessons with Professor Ingeborg Wamser in Vienna. In 1998 he studied in Italy with Maestro Arrigo Pola, and in Germany with Professor Peter Zieten.

After his initial success in the First International Opera Singers Competition in Manfredoni (Italy) and in the Tito Schipa International Competition in Lecce (Italy), Nikolai Doroshkin won first prize at the Second International Opera Singers Competition in Budapest (Hungary). He has sung as a soloist in the opera theaters of Italy (Venice, Verona, Treviso), Hungary (Budapest), Finland, and, of course, his native Russia. Among his many accomplishments are the roles of Aeolus (in F. Cavalli's
La Didone), Orpheus (in J. Haydn's Orpheus and Eurydice), Nemorino (in G. Donizetti's L'Elisir d'Amor), and Radames (Verdi's Aida). His performances in Haydn's Orpheus and Eurydice and in Nicolo Isouard's Cendrillon, under the direction of R. Bonynge, have been recorded on CD in Finland and in Russia. Currently, Mr. Doroshkin sings as a soloist at the Helicon Opera Theater in Moscow.

Nikolai Doroshkin's repertoire includes opera arias, romances, and songs of Russian and foreign composers. He performs all works in the language of the original. He has appeared in numerous solo concerts from 1990 to 2000 in Russia, Italy (Venice, Bologna, Brescia, Padua, Lecce, Vicenza, Trento, etc.), in Germany (Cologne and other cities), in Japan (Casals Hall, Tokyo), in Finland, in Belgium, and in France. His unforced, warm, and bright bel canto, highly intuitive understanding of the national and cultural character of the music, and solid international experience make Nikolai Doroshkin an ideal interpreter of Alexander Feht's neoromantic vocal compositions.
