ʻO Vladimir Ashkenazy

No nā makahiki he ʻelima maikaʻi, ʻo Vladimir Ashkenazy kekahi o nā mea piano kaulana loa o kāna hanauna. Ua wikiwiki kona piʻi ʻana, ʻoiai ʻaʻole ia me ka pilikia ʻole: aia nā manawa o nā kānalua noʻonoʻo, nā kūleʻa i hoʻololi ʻia me nā hemahema. Eia nō naʻe he ʻoiaʻiʻo: hoʻi i ka makahiki 60 mua, ua hoʻokokoke nā mea loiloi i ka loiloi o kāna hana me nā koina koi nui loa, e hoʻohālikelike pinepine iā ia me nā hoa hana i ʻike ʻia a mahalo nui ʻia. No laila, ma ka puke "Soviet Music" hiki i kekahi ke heluhelu i ka wehewehe ʻana o kāna wehewehe ʻana o "Pictures at an Exhibition" na Mussorgsky: "He mea poina ka leo hoʻoikaika o "Pictures" na S. Richter, he mea nui ka wehewehe ʻana a L. Oborin. hoihoi. Hōʻike ʻo V. Ashkenazy i kāna ʻano ponoʻī i kahi haku mele nani, hoʻokani iā ​​​​ia me ke kāohi hanohano, ka manaʻo a me ka hoʻopau filigree o nā kikoʻī. Me ka momona o nā kala, mālama ʻia ka lokahi a me ka pololei o ka manaʻo.

Ma nā ʻaoʻao o kēia pūnaewele, ʻōlelo ʻia nā hoʻokūkū mele like ʻole i kēlā me kēia manawa. Auē, he mea maʻamau wale nō - inā makemake mākou a ʻaʻole paha - ua lilo lākou i mea hana nui no ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ke kālena i kēia lā, a, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua hoʻolauna lākou i ka hapa nui o nā mea pena kaulana. ʻO ka hopena o Ashkenazi kahi hiʻohiʻona a kupaianaha i kēia ʻano: ua hoʻokō ʻo ia i ka holomua o ka crucible o ʻekolu, ʻo ia paha nā hoʻokūkū ikaika a paʻakikī o ko mākou manawa. Ma hope o ka makana ʻelua ma Warsaw (1955), ua lanakila ʻo ia i nā makana kiʻekiʻe loa ma ka hoʻokūkū Queen Elisabeth ma Brussels (1956) a me ka hoʻokūkū PI Tchaikovsky ma Moscow (1962).

ʻO ke kālena mele koʻikoʻi o ʻAsekenazi i hōʻike ʻia iā ia iho i ke kakahiaka nui, a ua pili pū ʻia me ka moʻomeheu ʻohana. ʻO ka makuakāne o Vladimir he pop pianist ʻo David Ashkenazi, i ʻike nui ʻia a hiki i kēia lā ma USSR, he haku papa mua o kāna ʻoihana, nona ka virtuosity i hoʻāla mau i ka mahalo. Ua hoʻohui ʻia ka hoʻomākaukau maikaʻi ʻana i ka heredity, ua aʻo mua ʻo Vladimir ma ke kula ʻo Central Music me ke kumu ʻo Anaila Sumbatyan, a laila ma ka Conservatory Moscow me Professor Lev Oborin. Inā mākou e hoʻomanaʻo i ka paʻakikī a me ka waiwai o ka papahana o kēlā me kēia o nā hoʻokūkū ʻekolu āna e hoʻokō ai, ʻike maopopo ʻia i ka manawa i puka ai ʻo ia mai ka conservatory, ua mākaukau ka pianist i kahi repertoire ākea a like ʻole. I kēlā manawa mua, ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia e ka universalism o ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā makemake (ʻaʻole i loaʻa loa). ʻO kēlā me kēia hihia, ua hui pū ʻia nā mele a Chopin me ka ʻōlelo o nā sonatas a Prokofiev. A i kekahi wehewehe ʻana, ʻike mau ʻia nā ʻano o kahi piano ʻōpio: ka impulsiveness explosive, hoʻomaha a me ka convexity o ka ʻōlelo, ke ʻano o ke kala kani, ka hiki ke mālama i ka dynamics o ka hoʻomohala ʻana, ka neʻe o ka manaʻo.

ʻOiaʻiʻo, ua hoʻohui ʻia nā mea ʻenehana maikaʻi loa i kēia mau mea a pau. Ma lalo o kona mau manamana lima, ua ʻike mau ʻia ke ʻano o ka piano i ka paʻa, saturated, akā i ka manawa like, ʻaʻole i nalowale nā ​​nuances liʻiliʻi no ka lohe ʻana. Ma kahi huaʻōlelo, ma ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā makahiki 60 he haku maoli. A ua huki ʻia ka manaʻo o ka poʻe hoʻohewa. Ua kākau kekahi o nā loiloi: "Ma ka ʻōlelo ʻana iā Ashkenazi, mahalo nui kekahi i kāna ʻikepili virtuoso. ʻOiaʻiʻo, he virtuoso koʻikoʻi ʻo ia, ʻaʻole ma ke ʻano kuhi o ka huaʻōlelo i laha i kēia mau lā (ka hiki ke pāʻani i nā ʻano pauku like ʻole me ke kahaha wikiwiki), akā ma kona ʻano maoli. ʻAʻole wale ʻo ka mea hoʻokani piano ʻōpio ʻaʻole wale ka phenomenally dexterous a ikaika, hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi ʻia nā manamana lima, ua maʻalahi ʻo ia i nā ʻano like ʻole a nani o nā kani piano. ʻO ke kumu, pili kēia ʻano iā Vladimir Ashkenazi i kēia lā, ʻoiai i ka manawa like he hoʻokahi wale nō, akā ʻo ka hiʻohiʻona koʻikoʻi paha i ʻike ʻia i nā makahiki: artistic, artistic maturity. I kēlā me kēia makahiki, hoʻonohonoho ka mea piano iā ia iho i nā hana koʻikoʻi a me ka wiwo ʻole, hoʻomau i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i kāna wehewehe ʻana iā Chopin, Liszt, hoʻokani ʻo Beethoven lāua ʻo Schubert i nā mea hou aʻe, e lanakila ana me ka originality a me ka unahi pū kekahi i nā hana a Bach a me Mozart, Tchaikovsky a me Rachmaninov , Brahms a me Ravel…

I ka makahiki 1961, ma mua koke o ka hoʻokūkū poina iā ia ʻO Tchaikovsky Competition. Ua hui ʻo Vladimir Ashkenazy me ka mea hoʻokani piano ʻōpio ʻo Icelandic ʻo Sophie Johannsdottir, ʻo ia ka mea hana ma ka Conservatory o Moscow. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu, lilo lāua i kāne a wahine, a ʻelua makahiki ma hope mai ua noho lāua ma ʻEnelani. Ma 1968, noho ʻo Ashkenazi ma Reykjavik a ʻae ʻo ia i ke kamaʻāina Icelandic, a he ʻumi makahiki ma hope mai ua lilo ʻo Lucerne i kāna "noho" nui. I kēia mau makahiki a pau, hoʻomau ʻo ia i ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā ʻaha mele me ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ikaika, hana me nā orkestra maikaʻi loa ma ka honua, hoʻopaʻa i nā moʻolelo he nui - a ua laha loa kēia mau moʻolelo. Ma waena o lākou, ʻo nā mele o nā concerto āpau o Beethoven a me Rachmaninov, a me nā moʻolelo a Chopin, kaulana loa.

Mai nā makahiki he kanahiku, ua lanakila ka haku kaulana o ka piano hou, e like me kekahi o kāna mau hoa hana, i ka lua o ka ʻoihana - alakaʻi. I kēia manawa i ka makahiki 1981, ua lilo ʻo ia i alakaʻi hoʻokipa mau loa o ka London Philharmonic Orchestra, a ke hana nei i kēia manawa ma ka podium ma nā ʻāina he nui. Mai 1987 a i 1994 ʻo ia ke alakaʻi o ka Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, a alakaʻi pū i ka Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, ka Berlin Radio Orchestra. Akā i ka manawa like, ʻaʻole lilo nā ʻahamele o ka pianist Ashkenazi i mea maʻalahi a hoʻāla i ka hoihoi nui o ka lehulehu e like me ka wā ma mua.

Mai ka makahiki 1960, ua hana ʻo Ashkenazy i nā hoʻopaʻa leo he nui no nā lepili leo like ʻole. Ua hoʻokani a hoʻopaʻa ʻo ia i nā hana piano a Chopin, Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Brahms, Liszt, a me ʻelima concerto piano na Prokofiev. ʻO Ashkenazy he ʻehiku mau manawa lanakila Grammy Award no Classical Music Performance. ʻO Itzhak Perlman, Georg Solti ma waena o nā mea hoʻokani pila āna i hui pū ai. Ma keʻano he alakaʻi me nā mele mele like ʻole, ua hoʻokani ʻo ia a hoʻopaʻa i nā symphonies āpau a Sibelius, Rachmaninov a me Shostakovich.

Ua paʻi ʻia ka puke autobiographical a Ashkenazi Beyond the Frontiers i ka makahiki 1985.
