Alexander Mikhailovich Lubyantsev

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alexander Michailowitsch Lubjanzew ( Russian Александр Михайлович Лубянцев Aleksandr Mikhailovich Lubiantsev , international Alexander Lubyantsev; born December 27, 1986 in Roschtschino , Leningrad Oblast , Russian SFSR , Russia ) is a Russian pianist and composer .

Lubyanzev's departure before the final round of the Tchaikovsky Competition 2011 was, among other things, an occasion for protests from the audience and music critics. This led to the fact that, with the help of the Mikhail Prokhorov Foundation, the "Prize of the Association of Moscow Music Critics" ( Russian Приз критики or Russian Специальный приз критиков ) is awarded. This special prize will now also be awarded in other competitions. In 2011 Lubyantsev won this award.

biography

Lubyantsev, born in 1986 in the village of Roschtschino in Leningrad Oblast, a district in the former Soviet Union , grew up in a musical family. His father was the director of the local music school, and his mother and siblings were also pianists. After his mother gave him piano lessons at an early age, he attended music schools in Saint Petersburg and began performing publicly in his childhood.

His first appearance with an orchestra was at a competition in Moscow at the age of eleven. He played Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 . At 14 he played Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 at his first regular concert with orchestra in the Russian city of Saratov . He started giving concerts all over the country.

His teachers include Kira Alexandrovna Schaschkina at the Moscow Central Music School , who was also a teacher of Mikhail Pletnjow , James Tocco at the Lübeck University of Music , Nina Serjogina at the St. Petersburg Conservatory and Viktor Portnoy at the Petrozavodsk Conservatory.

At the age of eight he won his first piano competition, and over twelve more in the following years. At the age of 17 he reached fifth place at the Sydney International Piano Competition 2004, where he also won two special prizes for “Best performance of a study by Liszt” and “Best performance of a work by Liszt (without studies)”.

In 2007 he was awarded third place at the 13th Tchaikovsky Competition , in which no first place was awarded this year. In 2011 he entered the Tchaikovsky Competition again, this time he was eliminated before the final round. International newspapers such as The Times and The Guardian reported public displeasure that Lubyantsev had not received an award. This outrage went so far that the Russian critics presented a new prize, the "Critics' Prize".

He then performed for the first time in 2011 with the orchestra of the Mariinsky Theater under the direction of Gianandrea Noseda . He then played Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3 with the Russian National Philharmonic and Vladimir Spivakov . He toured Japan with the Belarusian National Symphony Orchestra. He also appears in the Mariinsky Theater and the St. Petersburg Philharmonic . His debut in the United States was in 2014 with the Seattle Symphony . He performed in the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg in 2019.
