Ua piʻi ʻo John Lill i ka pae kiʻekiʻe loa o ka podium ma ka IV International Tchaikovsky Competition ma Moscow i ka makahiki 1970 me Vladimir Krainev, me ka haʻalele ʻana i nā mea hoʻokani piano maikaʻi ʻole a me ka hoʻokumu ʻole ʻana i nā kuʻikahi kūikawā ma waena o nā lālā jure, ʻaʻole hoʻi nā hoʻopaʻapaʻa kuʻuna ma waena o nā luna kānāwai a me ka lehulehu. . ʻO nā mea a pau me he mea kūlohelohe; ʻoiai ʻo ia he 25 mau makahiki, he haku makua ʻo ia. ʻO ia ka manaʻo i haʻalele ai kāna pāʻani hilinaʻi, a no ka hōʻoia ʻana, ua lawa ka nānā ʻana i ka puke hoʻokūkū, i hōʻike ʻia, ʻo ia hoʻi, he repertoire maikaʻi loa ʻo John Lill - 45 mau papahana solo a ma kahi o 45 mau ʻahamele me kahi orchestra. . Eia hou, hiki i kekahi ke heluhelu ma laila i ka wā o ka hoʻokūkū ʻaʻole ʻo ia he haumāna, akā he kumu, ʻo ia hoʻi he polopeka. Kula Nui o Mele. ʻO ka mea i manaʻo ʻole ʻia, ʻaʻole paha i hoʻāʻo mua ka mea pena Pelekane i kona lima ma nā hoʻokūkū ma mua. Akā, ua makemakeʻo ia e hoʻoholo i kona hopena "me ka hahau hoʻokahi" - a me ka maopopo o nā mea a pau,ʻaʻoleʻo ia i kuhihewa.

No nā mea a pau, ʻaʻole i hele mai ʻo John Lill i ka lanakila o Moscow ma ke ala maʻemaʻe. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo ia i loko o kahi ʻohana papa hana, ua ulu ʻo ia ma ke kaona ʻo Lākana o East End (kahi i hana ai kona makuakāne i kahi hale hana) a, i ka hōʻike ʻana i ke kālena mele i ka wā kamaliʻi, no ka manawa lōʻihi ʻaʻole i loaʻa kāna mea kani ponoʻī. . ʻO ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ke kālena o kahi kanaka ʻōpio noʻonoʻo, ua hele wikiwiki loa. I ka makahiki 9, ua hana ʻo ia me kahi orkestra no ka manawa mua, e hoʻokani ana i ka Concerto ʻElua o Brahms (ʻaʻole loa he hana "keiki"!), I ka makahiki 14, ua ʻike ʻo ia i nā mea āpau o Beethoven ma ka puʻuwai. ʻO nā makahiki o ke aʻo ʻana ma ka Royal College of Music (1955-1965) i loaʻa iā ia nā ʻano ʻokoʻa like ʻole, me ka D. Lipatti Medal a me ka Gulbenkian Foundation Scholarship. He kumu akamai, ke poʻo o ka hui "Musical Youth" ʻo Robert Mayer i kōkua nui iā ia.

I ka makahiki 1963, ua ho'omaka ka mea ho'okani pila ma ka Hale Hō'ike'ike Ali'i: Ua ho'okani 'ia 'o Beethoven's Fifth Concerto. Eia naʻe, i kona puka ʻana mai ke kulanui, ua koi ʻia ʻo Lill e hāʻawi i ka manawa nui i nā haʻawina pilikino - pono e loaʻa kahi ola; Ua loaʻa koke iā ia kahi papa ma kāna alma mater. Ua hoʻomaka mālie ʻo ia e hāʻawi i nā ʻaha mele, ma mua ma ka home, a laila ma USA, Kanada a me kekahi mau ʻāina ʻEulopa. ʻO kekahi o ka poʻe mua i mahalo i kāna talena ʻo Dmitri Shostakovich, ka mea i lohe iā Lill i hana ma Vienna i 1967. A ʻekolu mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua koi ʻo Mayer iā ia e komo i ka hoʻokūkū Moscow ...

No laila ua pau ka holomua. Akā naʻe, i ka hoʻokipa ʻana i hāʻawi ʻia e ka lehulehu o Moscow iā ia, aia kekahi ʻano o ka makaʻala: ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hana i nā leʻaleʻa walaʻau e like me ka hauʻoli aloha o Cliburn, ke kumu kupanaha o Ogdon, a i ʻole ka nani o ka ʻōpio e puka mai ana mai G. Ua hana mua ʻo Sokolov. ʻAe, ua pololei nā mea a pau, ua paʻa nā mea a pau, "akā, ua nalowale kekahi mea. Ua ʻike pū ʻia kēia e nā poʻe akamai he nui, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka wā i pau ai ka hauʻoli hoʻokūkū a hele ka mea lanakila i kāna huakaʻi mua a puni ko mākou ʻāina. He mea hoʻokani piano maikaʻi, mea hoʻohewa a me ka mea hoʻokani piano ʻo P. Pechersky, e hoʻomaikaʻi ana i ke akamai o Lill, ka maopopo o kona mau manaʻo a me ka maʻalahi o ka pāʻani ʻana, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia: "ʻAʻole" hana ka mea piano "ʻaʻole i ke kino a i ʻole (auwe!) manaʻo. A inā lanakila ka poʻe mua a hauʻoli hoʻi, a laila hoʻonāwaliwali ka lua ... Akā, me he mea lā e hiki mai ana nā lanakila nui o John Lill, i ka wā e hoʻokō ai ʻo ia e hoʻohui i ka pumehana i kāna mau akamai akamai a hanohano, a inā pono - a me ka wela.

ʻO kēia manaʻo ma ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa (me nā ʻano like ʻole) i kaʻana like ʻia e nā mea hoʻohewa he nui. Ma waena o nā pono o ka mea pena, ua ʻōlelo ka poʻe loiloi i ka "noʻonoʻo noʻonoʻo", ke kūlohelohe o ka hauʻoli hoʻomohala, ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka hōʻike mele, ke kaulike harmonic, "ka leo nui o ka pāʻani." ʻO kēia mau epithets mākou e hālāwai ai ke huli mākou i nā loiloi o kāna mau hana. "Ua pā hou au i ke akamai o ka mea hoʻokani pila," i kākau ai i ka makasina "Musical Life" ma hope o ka hoʻokani ʻana o Lill i ka Concerto ʻekolu o Prokofiev. "Ua hiki i kāna ʻenehana hilinaʻi ke hāʻawi i ka leʻaleʻa noʻeau. A me nā octaves ikaika, a me nā lele "heroic", a me nā pauku piano kaumaha ʻole ...

Ma kahi o kanakolu makahiki i hala mai ia manawa. He aha ka mea kupanaha i kēia mau makahiki no John Lill, he aha nā mea hou a lākou i lawe mai ai i ka hana noʻeau a ka mea pena? Ma waho, hoʻomau ka ulu ʻana o nā mea āpau me ka palekana. ʻO ka lanakila ma ka hoʻokūkū i wehe i nā puka o ke kahua ʻaha mele i ʻoi aku ka ākea iā ia: hele nui ʻo ia, hoʻopaʻa ʻia kokoke i nā sonata āpau a Beethoven a me nā hanana ʻē aʻe ma nā moʻolelo. I ka manawa like, ʻaʻole i hoʻohui ka manawa i nā hiʻohiʻona hou i ke kiʻi maʻamau o John Lill. ʻAʻole, ʻaʻole i mae kona akamai. E like me ka wā ma mua, e like me nā makahiki i hala aku nei, hoʻomaikaʻi ka paʻi ʻana i kāna "leo pōʻai a me ka momona", ʻono ʻono, ʻano akahele i ka kikokikona a ka mea kākau (akā naʻe, i kāna leka ma mua o kona ʻuhane). ʻO Lill, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻaʻole ia e ʻoki a hana i nā hana hou a pau, e like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia e ka mea haku mele, he malihini ʻo ia i ka makemake e hoʻohana i nā hopena haʻahaʻa, e pāʻani ana no ka lehulehu.

"No ka mea, ʻaʻole ʻo ke mele wale nō ke ʻano o ka nani, ʻaʻole wale ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i ka manaʻo a ʻaʻole wale i ka leʻaleʻa wale nō, akā ʻo ka hōʻike ʻana i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, mālama ʻo ia i kāna hana ma ke ʻano o kēia ʻoiaʻiʻo me ka ʻole o ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā mea ʻono maikaʻi ʻole, me ka ʻole o nā ʻano hoʻonaninani. kēlā me kēia ʻano. Ua kākau ʻo Record and Recording magazine, e hoʻolauleʻa ana i ka makahiki 25 o ka hana hoʻomohala a ka mea pena i nā lā i piha ai ʻo ia i 35 makahiki!

Akā i ka manawa like, huli pinepine ka noʻonoʻo maʻamau i ka noʻonoʻo, a ʻo ia "pianism ʻoihana" ʻaʻole ʻike i kahi pane mahana i ka lehulehu. “ʻAʻole ʻo ia e ʻae i ke mele e hoʻokokoke aku iā ia ma mua o kona manaʻo he ʻae ʻia; Aia mau ʻo ia me ia, i nā hihia āpau iā ʻoe, "wahi a kekahi o nā mea nānā Pelekane. ʻOiai i nā loiloi o kekahi o nā "helu lei" a ka mea pena - ʻo Beethoven's Fifth Concerto, hiki i kekahi ke ʻike i nā wehewehe ʻana: " wiwo ʻole, akā me ka noʻonoʻo ʻole", "hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻole ʻole", "ʻoluʻolu ʻole a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi". ʻO kekahi o nā mea hoʻohewa, ʻaʻole me ka hoʻohenehene ʻole, ua kākau ʻo ia "ʻO ka pāʻani a Lill he ʻano like ia me kahi moʻolelo moʻokalaleo i kākau ʻia e ke kumu kula: ʻike ʻia nā mea a pau i pololei, noʻonoʻo ʻia, pololei i ke ʻano, akā ʻaʻohe o kēlā manawaleʻa a me kēlā lele. , me ka ʻole o ia mea hiki ʻole ke hana, a me ka pololei i nā ʻāpana kaʻawale, i hana maikaʻi ʻia. Ke manaʻo nei i ka nele o ka naʻau, ke ʻano kūlohelohe, hoʻāʻo ka mea pena i kekahi manawa e hoʻopiʻi i kēia - hoʻokomo ʻo ia i nā mea o ka subjectivism i kāna wehewehe ʻana, hoʻopau i ka lole ola o ke mele, e kūʻē iā ia iho, e like me ia. Akā ʻaʻole hāʻawi kēlā mau huakaʻi i nā hopena i makemake ʻia. Ma ka manawa like, ʻo nā moʻolelo hou loa a Lill, ʻo ia hoʻi nā leo o nā sonata a Beethoven, e hāʻawi i kumu e kamaʻilio ai i kahi makemake i ka hohonu o kāna hana, no ka hōʻike ʻana i kāna pāʻani.

No laila, e nīnau ka mea heluhelu, ʻaʻole anei ʻo John Lill i ʻāpono i ke poʻo inoa o ka mea lanakila o ka Tchaikovsky Competition? ʻAʻole maʻalahi ka pane. ʻOiaʻiʻo, he mea hoʻokani piano paʻa, oʻo a naʻauao kēia i komo i ka wā o kona ulu ʻana. Akā ʻaʻole i wikiwiki kona ulu ʻana i kēia mau makahiki. Malia paha, ʻo ke kumu, ʻaʻole i pili pono ka pālākiō o ke ʻano o ka mea pena a me kona ʻano kumu i kāna talena mele a me ka piano. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole hiki ke huki i nā hopena hope loa - ma hope o nā mea a pau, ʻaʻole i pau nā hiki o John Lill.
