Ivo Pogorelich

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ivo Pogorelich (2015)

Ivo Pogorelich ( Serbo-Croatian : Ivo Pogorelić / Иво Погорелић ; born October 20, 1958 in Belgrade , Yugoslavia ) is a Croatian pianist .

Pogorelich rose to be the first star of the classical music scene in the early 1980s . His concerts and unorthodox work interpretations have divided audiences and music critics , with acknowledged pianistic mastery, from the beginning of his career to the present, into admirers and skeptics.

He became known through a scandal: some jurors at the 1980 International Chopin Competition in Warsaw distanced themselves from the jury's decision not to allow Pogorelich to participate in the final round. Nikita Magaloff , who, like Martha Argerich and Paul Badura-Skoda, was one of the protesting jurors, explained the unusual step of making the jury's internal information public by saying that Pogorelich is playing at the “highest level”, “like hardly anyone else in the world today can ".

Life

education

Ivo Pogorelich, son of a double bass player , began his piano training at the age of seven in Belgrade. He continued it in 1970 at the Central Music School in Moscow as a student of Yevgeny Timakin and then moved to the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory to study further in the classes of Vera Gornostajewa and Yevgeny Malinin . From October 1976 Pogorelich was also tutored by Aliza Kezeradze.

Pogorelich described the encounter with Kezeradze as a “turning point” in his life, as he found himself in an artistic “dead end” at the time, but it gave him new insights into the expressive possibilities of piano playing. His “conception and approach to the piano” had been “completely” changed by their influence. He assigned the pianist, with whom he was married from 1980 until her death in 1996, to his artistic "further development and his professional success".

Piano competitions

In 1978 Pogorelich won the Alessandro Casagrande Competition in Terni, Italy, and in 1980 the International Music Competition in Montreal . In the same year he took part in the Warsaw Chopin Competition and became known overnight. As a competitor, he did not get beyond the third round due to the four-time award of the highest, but also the four-time award of the lowest number of points, which caused some of the jurors, including Magaloff and Badura-Skoda, to public protests. Argerich was so angry that she left the competition jury with the words "He's a genius!" By resigning from her position she protested against the rating system, which "gave conservative style purists the opportunity to score someone who opened up a completely modern and new approach to Chopin's music". This scandal was reported in the media around the world. Harold C. Schonberg , the music critic of the New York Times , agreed with other experts in the assessment of the protesting jury members and commented appreciatively on Pogorelich's competitive performance: “He ignored the score and got everything wrong. [...] he is clearly a genius ”. The game of the "brilliantly equipped artist", for whom there are no technical limitations, is "full of architectural, dynamic and rhythmic extremes". Pogorelich, "unconventional in every way", scared the conservative jury members because he did not stick to the performance tradition.

The Warsaw Music Society , an organization to preserve the memory of Chopin, arranged a concert for Pogorelich after his departure from the regular competition, at which he was frenetically cheered by his mostly young audience. Following the concert, the Polish music critics honored him with the special prize for his extraordinarily original pianist talent .

In February 1981 Pogorelich recorded his first record for Deutsche Grammophon under the name Chopin Recital . The sound carrier, advertised as Pogorelich's “Answer to Warsaw”, was sold 20,000 times in Germany within a month of its publication. The music label then signed Pogorelich.

Years after the Chopin Competition, Pogorelich explained that the events in Warsaw had been "magical", but that he is now happy that the time of hysteria is behind him. His success has nothing to do with eccentricity, as often falsely portrayed in the press. In Warsaw, his “attitude and attitude towards Chopin's music” had been misinterpreted by the public. The jury's decision bothered him and demotivated him, but his approach to the great composers leaves no room for compromises, he tries to get as close as possible to their intentions. In interviews and the documentary Why Competitions, Pogorelich also repeatedly points out the political dimension on which, in his opinion, the competition decision of 1980 was based. On the occasion of a concert in Warsaw in 2008 he demanded that "the minutes of the jury's decision at that time be disclosed".

Career

Ivo Pogorelich (2015)

The coverage of the 1980 Chopin Competition, Pogorelich's first recording and the published press photos, in which he looked more like a “ New Wave rocker” than a musician of the classical genre, generated interest far beyond the regular audience of classical piano music. Joachim Kaiser explained how to “encourage an audience to buy concert tickets” was reserved for “only three serious pianists” in the second half of the 20th century: “ Wladimir Horowitz , Friedrich Gulda and - Ivo Pogorelich”. The media response to the concerts was exceptionally enthusiastic. The young pianist, who was awarded an “aura of elegant dreaminess and arrogance”, was able to “demand fabulous fees” and “expect the halls to be always sold out”. Pogorelich limited himself to a small repertoire. Kaiser located this in his "meticulous sense of responsibility for great music". Pogorelich “only addresses the public with original interpretations”.

The reporting didn't just focus on the musical performance. In a summary of the Spiegel on the press reviews of the early 1980s, a focus on Pogorelich's external attributes becomes clear. In addition, comparisons were made with celebrities from other genres, including Kinski , Wilde and Nureyev . The Independent even referred to him as " Mick Jagger of the classical concert stage". Pogorelich was stylized as the first "pop star of the classical scene" through such media attributions. Pogorelich supported this ascription with provocative statements: "I am the pianist who is written about the most, I get a review when I dust my piano" and by breaking new, unusual ways of public relations for a classical musician. He was u. a. depicted as a model for men's fashion in the magazines Esquire , Vogue and Égoïste and appeared regularly on television as a talk guest. In Germany he was at Bio's Bahnhof , in the tele-illustrated and Willemsen's week . In Great Britain, Don Featherstone dedicated an episode of the South Bank Show to him and showed Pogorelich in a home setting at his castle in Scotland with Aliza Kazeradze working on a score. After Pogorelich's appearance in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Bowl in 1985 in front of 25,000 spectators, there were rumors of a film role that he would play alongside Bo Derek and Josep Carreras . Its proximity to the international high society , the jet set and Geldadel reported not only the features section , in the 1980s was Pogorelich in any media up to the Boulevard presence. As a result, he achieved a level of awareness that no classical musician has ever achieved in this breadth. Pogorelich said that public attention is not unimportant for a pianist and that he himself tinkered with his image, eccentric and arrogant, like "a toy" at a young age. Through a negative attribution, society can accept “an extraordinary person” more easily and “forgive success”. He is not interested in why people come to his concerts, but in what they would take away from them. Kaiser attested that Pogorelich was “not just eccentric” and that he was aware of his fame. He is musically "admirable about the matter", he takes "every note deadly serious". The audience appreciates this with the “Pogorelich phenomenon”, a “concentrated, fascinated, devoted [em]” listening. Looking back at the early years, the music critic Helmut Mauró sees Pogorelich's “real impact” in the piano playing. He explains that it was not only Pogorelich's "brilliant dexterity [...] of a male-powerful paw" that was convincing, but above all his pianistic ability "to condense a state of concentration to such an extent that it is energetic contemplation and ultimately transcendence". At that time, Pogorelich's otherness was "glamorously concealed" through the filter's attractive and "youthful appearance", but is still overwhelming to this day through "thoughtful and creative stubbornness, coupled with artistically lived narcissism".

After his brilliant career start, Pogorelich appeared in all the major concert halls in the world during the first two decades of his musical life and played with the most renowned orchestras, such as a. with the Boston Symphony Orchestra , the London Symphony Orchestra , the Chicago Symphony Orchestra , the Vienna Philharmonic and the Berlin Philharmonic . He limited himself to about 60 concerts per year, in accordance with his maxim "Art takes time". Pogorelich continued to cause a stir not only with his piano playing, but also with comments about other musicians. He criticized in interviews a. a. Svyatoslaw Richter , Glenn Gould , Vladimir Horowitz, Luciano Pavarotti and emphatically Herbert von Karajan , whom he described as an "artistic ruin". The "controversial keyboard lion", to whom music critics attested a preference for the extreme, had fallen out in Vienna in 1984 during an orchestral rehearsal for Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto with the conductor due to different ideas about the tempo. The concert announced for the following day took place without Pogorelich.

In the mid-1990s, Pogorelich increasingly withdrew from regular concert operations. On the one hand he was burdened by the civil war in his home country as the son of a Serbian mother and a Croatian father, on the other hand he had to struggle with health problems. After the death of his wife due to illness in 1996, he said he gave up the concert activity completely because he could not bear to touch a piano and needed time to regain his creativity. In the late 1990s, Pogorelich returned to the concert stage to get involved with charity concerts for social and cultural institutions in his broken home country . As a UNESCO special ambassador, he gave concerts all over the world and collected donations for the construction of a mother and child hospital in Sarajevo . In the same way, he campaigned for the historical reconstruction of the destroyed Dubrovnik and other charitable organizations. Pogorelich told the press that the images of human suffering in his home country made him sick and that it was impossible to just watch.

In 1999 and regularly from 2003 Pogorelich made guest appearances again on German concert stages. As in previous years, he was committed to youth work and revived the festival for the promotion of young artists in Bad Wörishofen , which he founded in 1989 and held annually until 1996, for one season. Pogorelich had already set up a foundation in Croatia in the mid-1980s that supports and promotes talented young musicians in various ways and initiated a piano competition in Pasadena in 1993 , in which he appeared as the "namesake and sponsor of the prize money". In 2006 he gave a concert with the “Junge Philharmonie Thuringia”, a “promising young orchestra”, at the art festival in Weimar. He serves as honorary president of the annual Manhattan International Music Competition in Carnegie Hall , which was held for the first time in 2016 and where Pogorelich made his debut in 1981. Occasionally, Pogorelich gives master classes to young musicians .

Pogorelich has been giving concerts on European and East Asian stages since 2010 and performs regularly with orchestral and solo programs. In December 2017 he could be heard for the first time after 28 years of absence in his native city of Belgrade. He has the habit of playing himself on stage in casual clothing until a few minutes before the start of the concert after the audience has admitted and using a score during his concerts .

In spring 2015, Pogorelich's recordings from the publication years 1981 to 1997 were reissued by Deutsche Grammophon . The 12 recordings are still “among the best-selling from the label's piano catalog” to this day. In May 2015, the CD collection was awarded the " Golden Tuning Fork " by the French music magazine Diapason . In November 2016, Idagio, an internet platform for classical music, published for the first time a multi-month recording of Pogorelich after 1998 with works by Beethoven. In April 2019, Pogorelich signed a recording deal with Sony Classical .

Pogorelich's repertoire ranges from the baroque to the classical and romantic periods to the 20th century. To this day, he has remained true to his postulate from the early years of studying a limited number of compositional works intensively over a long period of time. Pogorelich lives in Lugano .

effect

Pogorelich is known for his "idiosyncratic mannerist style of interpretation " of classical piano compositions, which exceeds the "limits of faithfulness to the work " with regard to tempo specifications . Through his individual design of the "dynamic rules" and the timing of the original composition, he creates "unusually strong contrasts" and "subtle nuances" of the " tone color dynamics ". He “does not see himself as a true attorney for the score, he is rather looking for the essence that stands behind it” and that “maybe not even the composer was aware of”. His radical interpretations are therefore described either as an experience or as an imposition, as “ingenious” or “undiscussable”. The "alienation techniques with which Pogorelich performs the original works" repeatedly raise the question in concert reviews: "How much creative freedom can an interpreter take?"

Pogorelich's 2015 recital program polarized as in previous years and was received very differently by music critics. The Guardian called his lecture "pathetic" and "deeply unmusical". In the Süddeutsche Zeitung , on the other hand, the same program was rated as “hard clay pebbles, piled up with both hands to form mountains of expressionistic visual power” and Pogorelich was described as the opposite of a “key charm” or “courtesy artist”. His art is "the encounter with art, the process of recreation, [...] of understanding and reviving" the sound worlds, the "thinking and feeling" of the old masters.

Because of his work interpretations, Pogorelich is almost ritually adored by his regular audience, “young and young at heart piano lovers”. Pogorelich is "the most radical and exciting thinker of the great pianists", "the grandiose opposite of the classical circus", his concerts the "art of perfect freedom". Because of his “fundamental mistrust of the compositional guidelines”, Pogorelich's interpretations would “make the music think about itself”.

His mastery of the highest technical difficulties is generally recognized, especially with Maurice Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit and the encore Islamej von Balakirew, which he still favored to this day . As a “brilliant technician” he has “all touch nuances”.
