Lazar Berman

No ka poʻe makemake i ka ʻaha mele, ʻo nā loiloi o nā ʻaha mele a Lazar Berman i ka hoʻomaka a me ka waena o nā makahiki he kanahiku. Hōʻike nā mea i ka paʻi o Italia, ʻEnelani, Kelemānia a me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe o ʻEulopa; nui nā nūpepa a me nā nūpepa me nā inoa o nā mea hoʻohewa ʻAmelika. Nā loiloi - ʻoi aku ka hoihoi o kekahi ma mua o kekahi. Hōʻike ia e pili ana i ka "manaʻo nui" a ka mea piano i hana ai i ka lehulehu, e pili ana i "nā leʻaleʻa hiki ʻole ke haʻi ʻia a me nā encores pau ʻole." ʻO kahi mea hoʻokani pila mai ka USSR he "titan maoli," i kākau ai kekahi mea hoʻohewa Milanese; ʻo ia he "mea hoʻokalakupua keyboard," hoʻohui i kāna hoa hana mai Naples. ʻO ka poʻe ʻAmelika ka mea ākea loa: ʻo ka mea loiloi nūpepa, no ka laʻana, "aneane ʻoki ʻia me ka pīhoihoi" i ka wā i hui mua ai ʻo Berman - ʻo kēia ʻano pāʻani, ua maopopo ʻo ia, "hiki wale me ka lima ʻekolu ʻike ʻole."

I kēia manawa, ua maʻa ka lehulehu, i kamaʻāina iā Berman mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā kanalima, e mālama iā ia, e ʻoi aku ka mālie. Ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo ia (e like me ka mea i manaʻo ʻia) i kāna kuleana, hāʻawi ʻia i kahi kūlana koʻikoʻi i ka piano o kēia lā - a ua kaupalena ʻia kēia. ʻAʻohe manaʻo i hana ʻia mai kāna clavirabends. Ma ke ala, ʻaʻole i hāʻawi ʻia nā hopena o nā hana a Berman ma ke kahua hoʻokūkū honua. Ma ka hoʻokūkū ʻo Brussels i kapa ʻia ma hope o Queen Elisabeth (1956), ua lawe ʻo ia i ka pae ʻelima, ma ka Liszt Competition ma Budapest - ʻekolu. "Hoʻomanaʻo wau iā Brussels," wahi a Berman i kēia lā. "Ma hope o ʻelua mau pōʻai o ka hoʻokūkū, ua hilinaʻi nui wau ma mua o koʻu mau hoa hakakā, a he nui ka poʻe i wānana iaʻu i ka wahi mua. Akā, ma mua o ke kolu o ka pōʻai hope, ua hana hewa au: Ua pani au (a ʻoiaʻiʻo, i ka manawa hope!) ʻO kekahi o nā ʻāpana i loko o kaʻu papahana.

E like me ia - ʻo ka ʻelima a me ke kolu o nā wahi ... ʻO nā mea i hoʻokō ʻia, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole maikaʻi, ʻoiai ʻaʻole ka mea kupanaha loa.

ʻO wai ka mea kokoke i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo? ʻO ka poʻe i manaʻoʻiʻo ua ʻaneʻane ʻike hou ʻia ʻo Berman i ka makahiki kanahākūmālima o kona ola ʻana, a i ʻole ka poʻe i manaʻoʻiʻo ʻaʻole i loaʻa nā mea i ʻike ʻia a ʻaʻohe kumu kūpono no ka "boom"?

ʻO ka pōkole e pili ana i kekahi mau ʻāpana o ka moʻokalaleo o ka mea hoʻokani piano, e wehewehe kēia i nā mea e hiki mai ana. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Lazar Naumovich Berman ma Leningrad. He kanaka hana kona makuakāne, he hoʻonaʻauao mele kona makuahine - i kekahi manawa ua aʻo ʻo ia ma ke keʻena piano o ka St. Petersburg Conservatory. Ua hōʻike ʻo ke keiki i ke kālena koʻikoʻi, kokoke mai ʻekolu mau makahiki. Ua koho pono ʻia ʻo ia e ka pepeiao, maikaʻi improvised. ("ʻO koʻu mau manaʻo mua i ke ola e pili ana me ka piano piano," wahi a Berman. "Me he mea lā ʻaʻole au i hoʻokaʻawale me ia ... Malia paha, ua aʻo au i ke kani ʻana i ka piano ma mua o koʻu hiki ʻana ke ʻōlelo.") Ma kēia mau makahiki. , ua komo ʻo ia i loko o ka hoʻokūkū loiloi, i kapa ʻia ʻo "ka hoʻokūkū o ke kūlanakauhale holoʻokoʻa o nā talena ʻōpio." Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia, i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia mai kekahi mau mea ʻē aʻe: ʻo ka jure, i alakaʻi ʻia e Polofesa LV Nikolaev, i ʻōlelo ʻia "he hihia kūʻokoʻa o kahi hōʻike kupaianaha o ka hiki ke mele a me ka pianistic i kahi keiki." Ua helu ʻia ma ke ʻano he keiki prodigy, ʻehā makahiki ʻo Lyalik Berman i lilo i haumāna no ke kumu kaulana Leningrad Samariy Ilyich Savshinsky. "He mea hoʻokani pila a maikaʻi hoʻi," ʻo Berman kāna kumu mua. "ʻO ka mea nui loa, ʻo ka loea loea i ka hana me nā keiki."

I ka makahiki ʻeiwa o ke keikikāne, lawe mai kona mau mākua iā ia i Moscow. Ua komo 'o ia i ka Central Musical School o 'umi makahiki, ma ka papa o Alexander Borisovich Goldenweiser. Mai kēia manawa a hiki i ka pau ʻana o kāna mau haʻawina - he ʻumikūmāwalu mau makahiki - ʻaneʻane ʻaʻole loa e hoʻokaʻawale ʻo Berman me kāna kumu. Ua lilo ʻo ia i kekahi o nā haumāna punahele a Goldenweiser (i ka wā kaua paʻakikī, ua kākoʻo ke kumu i ke keikikāne ʻaʻole wale ma ka ʻuhane, akā ma ke kālā hoʻi), kona haʻaheo a me ka manaʻolana. "Ua aʻo au mai Alexander Borisovich pehea e hana maoli ai i ka kikokikona o kahi hana. I loko o ka papa, lohe pinepine mākou ua unuhi hapa wale ʻia ka manaʻo o ka mea kākau ma ke ʻano mele. He kūlana mau ka hope, ma kahi o… Pono e wehe ʻia ka manaʻo o ka haku mele (ʻo ia ke kumu o ka unuhi ʻōlelo!) ʻO Alexander Borisovich ʻo ia iho he haku hanohano, kāhāhā o ka ʻike ʻana i kahi kikokikona mele - ua hoʻolauna ʻo ia iā mākou, kāna mau haumāna, i kēia kiʻi ... "

Hoʻohui ʻo Berman: “Kakaikahi ka poʻe i hiki ke hoʻohālikelike i ka ʻike o kā mākou kumu no ka ʻenehana piano. Ua hāʻawi nui ke kamaʻilio me ia. Ua lawe ʻia nā ʻenehana pāʻani kūpono loa, ua hōʻike ʻia nā mea huna o ka holo wāwae. Ua hiki mai ka hiki ke hoʻopuka i kahi huaʻōlelo i loko o ka hōʻoluʻolu a me ka convex - ʻimi ʻo Alexander Borisovich me ka luhi ʻole i kēia mai kāna mau haumāna… Ua makemake nui ʻo ia e lawe i ka papa i nā hana a Scriabin, Medtner, Rachmaninoff. ʻO Alexander Borisovich kekahi hoa o kēia mau haku haku mele, i kona mau makahiki ʻōpio, ua hui pinepine ʻo ia me lākou; hōʻike i kā lākou mau pāʻani me ka hoihoi kūikawā… ”

I kekahi manawa ua ʻōlelo ʻo Goethe: "ʻO ka talena ka ikaika"; mai ka wā kamaliʻi mai, ua hoʻoikaika nui ʻo Berman i kāna hana. ʻO nā hola he nui o ka hana ma ka mea kani - i kēlā me kēia lā, me ka hoʻomaha ʻole a me ka indulgence - lilo i mea maʻamau o kona ola; I kekahi manawa ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana, ua hoʻolei ʻo ia i ka huaʻōlelo: "Ua ʻike ʻoe, i kekahi manawa ke noʻonoʻo nei au inā he wā kamaliʻi koʻu ...". Ua mālama ʻia nā papa e kona makuahine. He ʻano ikaika a ikaika hoʻi i ka hoʻokō ʻana i kāna mau pahuhopu, ʻaʻole ʻo Anna Lazarevna Berman i hoʻokuʻu i kāna keiki mai kāna mālama. ʻAʻole ʻo ia i hoʻoponopono wale i ka nui a me ke ʻano ʻōnaehana o kāna mau haʻawina a kāna keiki, akā ʻo ke kuhikuhi pū kekahi o kāna hana. Ua kau ka papa ma ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā ʻano ʻenehana virtuoso. Kuhi ʻia "ma kahi laina pololei", ua hoʻololi ʻole ʻia no kekahi mau makahiki. (Ke haʻi hou nei mākou, ʻo ka kamaʻāina me nā kikoʻī o nā moʻolelo moʻokalaleo noʻeau i kekahi manawa he nui a wehewehe nui.) ʻOiaʻiʻo, ua hoʻomohala ʻo Goldenweiser i ke ʻano o kāna mau haumāna, akā ʻo ia, he mea pena akamai, hoʻoponopono kūikawā i nā pilikia o kēia ʻano ma kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa. - i ka mālamalama o nā pilikia ākea a ākea. . I ka hoʻi ʻana i ka home mai ke kula, ʻike ʻo Berman i hoʻokahi mea: ʻenehana, ʻenehana ...

I ka makahiki 1953, ua puka 'o ka pianist opio me ka hanohano mai ka Moscow Conservatory, ma hope iki aku - postgraduate studies. Hoʻomaka kona ola noʻeau kūʻokoʻa. Hele ʻo ia i ka USSR, a ma hope aku ma waho. Aia i mua o ke anaina he mea hana ʻahamele me kahi hiʻohiʻona i hoʻokumu ʻia i kona ʻano wale nō.

I kēia manawa, ʻaʻohe mea e kamaʻilio e pili ana iā Berman - he hoa hana ma ka ʻoihana, he mea hoʻohewa, he mea aloha mele - hiki i kekahi ke lohe pinepine i ke ʻano o ka huaʻōlelo "virtuoso" i nā ʻano āpau. ʻO ka huaʻōlelo, ma ke ʻano nui, he pohihihi i ka leo: i kekahi manawa ua haʻi ʻia me kahi manaʻo hoʻohaʻahaʻa iki, ma ke ʻano he synonym no ka hana haʻahaʻa ʻole, pop tinsel. ʻO ka virtuosity o Bermanet - pono e maopopo i kēia - ʻaʻohe wahi no ka ʻano hoʻowahāwahā. ʻo ia - keʻano ma ka piano; hana kēia ma ke kahua ʻaha mele he ʻokoʻa wale nō. ʻO ka hōʻike ʻana iā ia, willy-nilly, pono kekahi e huki mai ka arsenal o nā wehewehe i nā superlatives: colossal, enchanting, etc.

I kekahi manawa ua hōʻike ʻo AV Lunacharsky i ka manaʻo ʻaʻole pono e hoʻohana ʻia ka huaʻōlelo "virtuoso" ma kahi "manaʻo maikaʻi ʻole", e like me ka hana ʻana i kekahi manawa, akā e kuhikuhi i "kahi mea pena kiʻi mana nui i ke ʻano o ka manaʻo e hana ai ʻo ia ma ke kaiapuni. ka mea e ʻike iā ia. ”… (Mai ka haʻiʻōlelo a AV Lunacharsky i ka wehe ʻana i kahi hālāwai methodological no ka hoʻonaʻauao kiʻi ma ʻApelila 6, 1925 // Mai ka moʻolelo o ka hoʻonaʻauao mele Soviet. – L., 1969. P. 57.). He virtuoso ʻo Berman i ka mana nui, a ʻo ka manaʻo āna i hana ai ma ka "kaiapuni ʻike".

Ua aloha mau ʻia nā virtuosos nui e ka lehulehu. ʻO kā lākou pāʻani e hoʻohauʻoli i ka lehulehu (ma ka Latin virtus - valor), hoʻāla i ka manaʻo o kahi mea nani, ʻoliʻoli. ʻO ka mea hoʻolohe, ʻo ka poʻe ʻike ʻole, ua ʻike ʻo ka mea pena, āna e ʻike ai a lohe ai i kēia manawa, ke hana nei me ka mea kani i nā mea liʻiliʻi loa e hiki ke hana; e halawai mau ana me ka ohohia. ʻAʻole ia he mea pōʻino ka hoʻopau pinepine ʻana o nā ʻaha mele a Berman me ka ʻoliʻoli kū. ʻO kekahi o nā mea hoʻohewa, no ka laʻana, ua wehewehe ʻo ia i ka hana a kahi mea pena Soviet ma ka ʻāina ʻAmelika penei: "I ka manawa mua, hoʻomaikaʻi lākou iā ia i ka wā e noho ana, a laila kū, a laila hoʻōho lākou a hehi i ko lākou mau wāwae me ka hauʻoli ...".

ʻO kahi hanana e pili ana i ka ʻenehana, noho mau ʻo Berman iā Berman i kēlā ia hoʻokani ʻo ia. Ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kāna ʻano hana i nā ʻāpana paʻakikī, "transcendental" o ka repertoire piano. E like me nā virtuosos hānau a pau, ua lōʻihi loa ʻo Berman i nā pāʻani. Ma ke kikowaena, nā wahi koʻikoʻi loa i kāna mau papahana, ka B minor sonata a me Liszt's Spanish Rhapsody, ke kolu o ka Concerto o Rachmaninov a me Prokofiev's Toccat, Schubert's The Forest Tsar (ma ka palapala kaulana Liszt) a me Ravel's Ondine, octave etude (op. 25). ) na Chopin a me Scriabin's C-sharp minor (Op. 42) etude… ʻO ia mau hōʻiliʻili o ka pianistic “supercomplexities” he mea kupanaha i loko o lākou iho; ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kūʻokoʻa a me ka maʻalahi o kēia mau mea a pau e hoʻokani ʻia e ka mea hoʻokani pila: ʻaʻohe ʻāʻī, ʻaʻohe pilikia ʻike ʻia, ʻaʻohe hoʻoikaika. "Pono e lanakila nā pilikia me ka maʻalahi a ʻaʻole hoʻohalahala," i aʻo aku ai ʻo Busoni. Me Berman, i ka paʻakikī loa - ʻaʻohe wahi o ka hana ...

Eia naʻe, loaʻa i ka pianist ke aloha ʻaʻole wale me nā mea puhi ahi o nā pauku nani, nā lei ʻālohilohi o nā arpeggios, nā avalanches o octaves, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.

Ma ka hoʻomanaʻo o ka poʻe hoʻolohe he mau hana like ʻole i ka wehewehe ʻana iā Berman. ʻO kekahi o lākou i hana i kahi manaʻo maikaʻi loa, ʻoi aku ka makemake o kekahi. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke hoʻomanaʻo hoʻokahi wale nō mea – ʻo ka mea hoʻokani a i ʻole kekahi mea i hoʻokūhoihoi i ka pepeiao ʻoihana paʻa loa. ʻO kekahi o nā helu o kāna mau papahana he laʻana o ka "hoʻoponopono" pololei a pololei o nā mea mele.

Ma nā wahi a pau, ʻoluʻolu i ka pepeiao ka pololei o ka hoʻokō ʻana i ka ʻōlelo, ka maʻemaʻe o ka ʻōlelo pianistic, ka hoʻouna ʻana o nā kikoʻī, a me ka ʻono maikaʻi ʻole. ʻAʻole ia he mea huna: ʻo ka moʻomeheu o kahi mea hoʻokani mele e hoʻokau mau ʻia i nā hoʻokolohua koʻikoʻi i nā ʻāpana climactic o nā hana i hana ʻia. ʻO wai ka poʻe maʻamau o nā pāʻina piano ʻaʻole i hālāwai me nā piano hoarsely rumbling, wince i frenzied fortissimo, ʻike i ka nalowale o ka pop self-control. ʻAʻole hiki ia i nā hana a Berman. Hiki i kekahi ke kuhikuhi ma ke ʻano he laʻana i kona kiʻekiʻe ma Rachmaninov's Musical Moments a i ʻole Prokofiev's Eighth Sonata: ʻo nā nalu kani o ka mea hoʻokani pila a hiki i kahi e hoʻomaka ai ka pōʻino o ka pāʻani kīkēkē, ʻaʻole loa, ʻaʻole hoʻokahi iota, e paʻi ma waho o kēia laina.

I kekahi manawa ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Berman no nā makahiki he nui i hakakā ʻo ia me ka pilikia o ke kani: "I koʻu manaʻo, hoʻomaka ka moʻomeheu o ka hana piano me ka moʻomeheu o ke kani. I koʻu wā ʻōpiopio, lohe au i kekahi manawa ʻaʻole maikaʻi ka kani ʻana o kaʻu piano – ʻūlū, mae ... hoʻomaka wau e hoʻolohe i nā mele maikaʻi, hoʻomanaʻo wau i ka pāʻani ʻana i nā leo ma ka gramophone me nā leo o nā "hōkū" Italia; hoʻomaka ka noʻonoʻo, ʻimi, hoʻokolohua… He kani kikoʻī ko kaʻu kumu o ka mea kani, paʻakikī ke hoʻohālike. Ua lawe au i kekahi mea ma ke ʻano o ka timbre a me ke kala kani mai nā mea piano ʻē aʻe. ʻO ka mea mua, me Vladimir Vladimirovich Sofronitsky - aloha nui wau iā ia ... ”I kēia manawa he ʻoluʻolu hoʻi ʻo Berman; silky, me he mea lā e mālama ana i ka piano, pā manamana lima. Hōʻike kēia i ka hoihoi i kāna hoʻouna ʻana, me ka bravura, a me nā mele, i nā ʻāpana o ka hale kūʻai cantilena. ʻAʻole wale ma hope o ka hana ʻana a Berman ʻo Liszt's Wild Hunt a i ʻole Blizzard, akā ma hope o kāna hana ʻana i nā mele mele mele a Rachmaninov: no ka laʻana, ka Preludes in F sharp minor (Op. 23) a i ʻole G Major (Op. 32). ; Hoʻolohe pono ʻia i nā mele e like me Mussorgsky's The Old Castle (mai Pictures at an Exhibition) a i ʻole Andante sognando mai Prokofiev's Eighth Sonata. No kekahi, nani wale nā ​​mele a Berman, maikaʻi no kā lākou hoʻolālā kani. Hoʻomaopopo ka mea hoʻolohe ʻoi aku ka noʻonoʻo i kekahi mea ʻē aʻe i loko o ia mea - he leo mālie, naʻau lokomaikaʻi, i kekahi manawa naʻauao, aneane naʻaupō ... ʻōlelo lākou he mea ʻo ka leo. pehea e haʻi ai i ke mele, – he aniani o ka uhane o ka mea hana; E ʻae paha ka poʻe i ʻike iā Berman i kēia.

Aia ʻo Berman "ma ka beat", piʻi ʻo ia i kahi kiʻekiʻe, e hana ana i nā manawa e like me ke kiaʻi o nā kuʻuna o kahi ʻano virtuoso ʻoliʻoli maikaʻi - nā kuʻuna e hoʻomanaʻo ai i kekahi mau mea pena kiʻi o ka wā i hala. (I kekahi manawa ua hoʻohālikelike ʻia ʻo ia me Simon Barere, i kekahi manawa me kekahi o nā mea hoʻomālamalama ʻē aʻe o ke kahua piano o nā makahiki i hala. nā ʻano o kāna hana.

ʻO Berman, ʻoiaʻiʻo, i ka manawa hoʻokahi i loaʻa hou mai ka hoʻohewa ʻana ma mua o ka nui o kāna mau hoa hana. ʻIke koʻikoʻi nā ʻōlelo hoʻopiʻi i kekahi manawa - a hiki i nā kānalua e pili ana i ka ʻike noʻonoʻo o kāna kiʻi. ʻAʻole pono e hoʻopaʻapaʻa i kēia mau lā me ia mau hoʻoholo - ma nā ʻano he nui nā leo o ka wā i hala; Eia kekahi, ʻo ka hoʻohewa mele, i kekahi manawa, lawe mai i ka schematism a me ka maʻalahi o nā formulations. ʻOi aku ka pololei o ka ʻōlelo ʻana ua nele ʻo Berman (a nele) i ka hoʻomaka ʻana i ka manaʻo ikaika a me ka wiwo ʻole i ka pāʻani. ka mea nui, it; ʻokoʻa ka ʻike ma ka hana.

No ka laʻana, ʻike nui ʻia ka wehewehe ʻana a ka mea piano i ka Appassionata a Beethoven. Mai waho mai: ʻōlelo, kani, ʻenehana - ʻaʻohe hewa nā mea a pau… A ʻo kekahi poʻe hoʻolohe i kekahi manawa ke koena o ka hauʻoli i ka wehewehe ʻana a Berman. Ua nele i loko dynamics, springiness i ka huli ana o ka hana o ka imperative kumu. ʻOiai e pāʻani ana, ʻaʻole ʻo ka pianist e koi i kāna manaʻo hana, e like me ke koi ʻana o kekahi: pono e like me keia a aohe mea e ae. A makemake ka mea hoʻolohe i ka wā e lawe piha ai lākou iā ia, alakaʻi iā ia me ka lima paʻa a me ka imperious (Kākau ʻo KS Stanislavsky e pili ana i ka mea pōʻino nui ʻo Salvini: "Me he mea lā ua hana ʻo ia me ka ʻano hoʻokahi - ua ʻō aku ʻo ia i kona lima i ka poʻe hoʻolohe, hopu i nā mea a pau i loko o kona lima a paʻa i loko, e like me nā ʻeke, i ka hana holoʻokoʻa. lima - make; wehe, make me ka pumehana - hauʻoli. Aia mākou i kona mana, mau loa, no ke ola. 1954).).

… I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kēia ʻatikala, ua haʻi ʻia e pili ana i ka hoihoi i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka pāʻani o Berman ma waena o nā mea hoʻohewa haole. ʻOiaʻiʻo, pono ʻoe e ʻike i kā lākou ʻano kākau - ʻaʻole ia e paʻa i ka expansiveness. Eia naʻe, ʻo ka hoʻomāhuahua ʻana, ʻo ke ʻano ke ʻano, a ʻo ka mahalo o ka poʻe i lohe iā Berman no ka manawa mua ʻaʻole paʻakikī ke hoʻomaopopo.

No lākou ua lilo ia i mea hou i ka mea a mākou i ho'ōki ai i ka pīhoihoi a - e ʻoiaʻiʻo - e ʻike i ke kumukūʻai maoli. ʻO ko Berman mau mana virtuoso ʻenehana, māmā, nani a me ke kūʻokoʻa o kāna pāʻani - hiki i kēia mau mea ke hoʻoikaika maoli i ka noʻonoʻo, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i ʻike i kēia extravaganza piano hanohano ma mua. I ka pōkole, ʻaʻole e kahaha ka pane ʻana i nā ʻōlelo a Berman i ka New World - he kūlohelohe ia.

Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole kēia wale nō. Aia kekahi kūlana e pili pono ana i ka "nane Berman" (he ʻōlelo a nā loiloi o nā ʻāina ʻē). ʻO ka mea nui a koʻikoʻi paha. ʻO ka mea ʻoiaʻiʻo i nā makahiki i hala iho nei ua hana ka mea pena i kahi hana hou a koʻikoʻi i mua. ʻAʻole i ʻike ʻia, ua hala wale kēia i ka poʻe i ʻike ʻole iā Berman no ka manawa lōʻihi, ʻoluʻolu me nā manaʻo maʻamau a paʻa pono e pili ana iā ia; ʻO nā mea ʻē aʻe, ʻo kāna mau kūleʻa ma ke kahua o nā kanahiku a me kanawalu he mea maopopo a kūlohelohe. Ma kekahi o kāna mau nīnauele, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia: "ʻO kēlā me kēia mea hoʻokani malihini e ʻike i kekahi manawa o ka lā nui a me ka haʻalele. Me he mea lā iaʻu i kēia manawa ua ʻano ʻokoʻa kaʻu hana ma mua o ka wā kahiko… ”ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻokoʻa. Inā ma mua o kāna hana lima nani loa ("ʻO wau ko lākou kauā ..."), i kēia manawa ʻike ʻoe i ka manawa like i ka naʻauao o ka mea pena, nāna i hoʻokumu iā ia iho i kāna mau kuleana. Ma mua, ua hoihoi 'ia 'o ia (kokoke unrestrained, e like me ia i olelo mai ai) e ka intuition o ka hanau virtuoso, ka mea naʻaupōʻauʻau 'auʻau i loko o nā mea o ka pianistic kaʻa akamai - i keia la ua alakaʻiʻia ia e ka makua noonoo noʻonoʻo, ka hohonu manaʻo, ke kahua kaʻikeʻike i hōʻiliʻili ma luna. ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻekolu mau makahiki. Ua ʻoi aku ka paʻa o ka manaʻo o Berman, ʻoi aku ka manaʻo, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o nā ʻaoʻao o nā ʻano mele, a ua maopopo ka manaʻo o ka mea unuhi. Ua hōʻoia ʻia kēia e kekahi mau hana i hoʻokani ʻia a i hoʻopaʻa ʻia paha e ka mea hoʻokani piano: ʻO Tchaikovsky's B flat minor concerto (me ka orchestra i alakaʻi ʻia e Herbert Karajan), ʻelua mau concerto Liszt (me Carlo Maria Giulini), ʻo Beethoven's ʻumikūmāwalu Sonata, Scriabin's Third, "Pictures at an Hōʻike "Mussorgsky, preludes e Shostakovich a me nā mea hou aku.

Hāʻawi ʻoluʻolu ʻo Berman i kona mau manaʻo e pili ana i ka hana mele. ʻO ke kumumanaʻo o nā mea i kapa ʻia he keiki prodigies e lawe pono iā ia i ka wikiwiki. Ua hoʻopā ʻo ia iā ia ma mua o hoʻokahi manawa ma nā kamaʻilio pilikino a ma nā ʻaoʻao o ka paʻi mele. Eia kekahi, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hoʻopā wale no ka mea ʻo ia kekahi i nā "keiki kupanaha", e hōʻike ana i ke ʻano o kahi keiki prodigy. Aia kekahi kūlana hou. He keiki kāne kāna, he mea hoʻokani pila; e like me kekahi mau kānāwai hoʻoilina pohihihi, hiki ʻole ke wehewehe ʻia, ʻo Pavel Berman i kona wā liʻiliʻi i hana hou i ke ala o kona makuakāne. Ua ʻike mua ʻo ia i kāna mau mele mele, nā connoisseurs mahalo a me ka lehulehu me ka ʻike ʻike loea virtuoso.

"Me he mea lā iaʻu, wahi a Lazar Naumovich, he ʻano ʻokoʻa nā geeks o kēia lā, ma ke ʻano he ʻokoʻa mai nā geeks o koʻu hanauna - mai ka poʻe i manaʻo ʻia he "keiki hana mana" i nā makahiki kanakolu a me kanahā.

Hiki paha iā ia ke hōʻemi i ka helu o kāna mau hana ponoʻī… Akā ma ʻaneʻi ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hana i kekahi mea. I ʻole e haʻalele i ka "mamao", ʻaʻole e ʻoluʻolu i ka makemake o ka lehulehu iā ia, ʻo ia - e like me kēlā me kēia mea hoʻokani mele - pono e "ʻike" mau. A ʻo ia hoʻi - e pāʻani, pāʻani a pāʻani ... E lawe, no ka laʻana, ʻo 1988 wale nō. Ua hahai nā huakaʻi i kekahi ma hope o kekahi: Sepania, Kelemānia, Kelemānia Hikina, Iapana, Palani, Czechoslovakia, Australia, USA, ʻaʻole e haʻi i nā kūlanakauhale like ʻole o ko mākou ʻāina. .

Ma ke ala, e pili ana i ka kipa ʻana o Berman i ʻAmelika i ka makahiki 1988. Ua kono ʻia ʻo ia, me kekahi mau mea pena kaulana ʻē aʻe o ka honua, e ka hui Steinway, i hoʻoholo e hoʻomanaʻo i kekahi mau makahiki o kona mōʻaukala me nā ʻaha mele. Ma kēia ʻahaʻaina Steinway mua, ʻo Berman wale nō ka ʻelele o nā mea hoʻokani piano o ka USSR. Ua hōʻike ʻia kona kūleʻa ma ke kahua ma Carnegie Hall ʻaʻole i emi iki kona kaulana me ka poʻe ʻAmelika, āna i lanakila ai ma mua.

… Inā liʻiliʻi ka loli i nā makahiki i hala e pili ana i ka helu o nā hana i nā hana a Berman, a laila ʻike ʻia nā loli i ka repertoire, i ka ʻike o kāna mau papahana. I ka wā ma mua, e like me ka mea i hōʻike ʻia, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ka virtuoso opuses ma ke kikowaena o kāna mau pepa. I kēia lā ʻaʻole ʻo ia e pale aku iā lākou. Aole makau iki. Eia naʻe, i ka hoʻokokoke ʻana i ka paepae o kona lā hānau 60, ua manaʻo ʻo Lazar Naumovich ua ʻano ʻokoʻa kāna mau mele mele a me kāna mau makemake.

"Ua ʻoi aku koʻu huki ʻana e pāʻani iā ​​Mozart i kēia lā. A i ʻole, no ka laʻana, kahi haku mele kupaianaha e like me Kunau, nāna i kākau i kāna mele ma ka hopena o XNUMXth - hoʻomaka i nā kenekulia XNUMXth. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ua poina loa ia, a ke manaʻo nei au he kuleana koʻu - he hana ʻoluʻolu! - e hoʻomanaʻo i ko mākou poʻe hoʻolohe a me nā haole. Pehea e wehewehe ai i ka makemake o ka wā kahiko? Manaʻo wau he makahiki. ʻOi aku ka nui o kēia manawa, he laconic ke mele, ʻike maopopo i ke ʻano - kahi kahi o kēlā me kēia memo, e like me kā lākou e ʻōlelo nei, pono ke kaumaha i ke gula. Kahi e ʻōlelo nui ai ka liʻiliʻi.

Ma ke ala, hoihoi nō hoʻi iaʻu kekahi mau haku piano a nā mea kākau o kēia wā. I loko o kaʻu repertoire, no ka laʻana, ʻekolu mau pāʻani a N. Karetnikov (nā papahana ʻoliʻoli o 1986-1988), he manaʻo noʻonoʻo na V. Ryabov i ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana iā MV Yudina (ka manawa like). I ka makahiki 1987 a me 1988 ua hoʻokani au ma mua i ka ʻaha mele piano na A. Schnittke i kekahi mau manawa. Ke pāʻani wale nei au i kaʻu mea i hoʻomaopopo loa a ʻae.

… Ua ʻike ʻia ʻelua mau mea paʻakikī loa no ka mea pena: ʻo ka lanakila ʻana i kona inoa a mālama ʻia. ʻO ka lua, e like me ka hōʻike ʻana o ke ola, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī. "He mea waiwai ʻole ka nani," i kākau ai ʻo Balzac. "He pipiʻi, mālama maikaʻi ʻole ʻia." Ua hele lōʻihi a paʻakikī ʻo Berman i ka ʻike - ākea, ʻike honua. Eia naʻe, i ka loaʻa ʻana o ia mea, ua mālama ʻo ia i kāna mea i lanakila ai. ʻO kēia ka mea a pau…
