biography

childhood

Michail Pletnjow was born as the only child of the musician couple Olga Dmitrijewna and Vasili Pawlowitsch Pletnjow. The mother was a trained pianist, the father a graduate of the Yaroslavl Academy of Music and the Gnessin Institute in Moscow . Shortly after the birth of Pletnyov, the family moved to Saratov and on to Kazan . At the local conservatory, Pletnev's father founded the faculty for folk musical instruments in 1962 and was head of the National Bajan School until 1973 . Olga Dmitrijewna Pletnjowa worked as a répétiteur in the vocal arts and folk instruments faculties and was concertmaster at the Tatar State Opera & Ballet Theater, named after Musa Cälil . Mikhail Pletnjow showed musical talent at an early age and was encouraged playfully by his mother, whom he accompanied to the conservatory every day. He tried different instruments, listened to the musicians of the conservatory and imitated the orchestra conductor Natan Rachlin during his rehearsals. Looking back, Pletnjow remembers a relaxed and happy childhood.

Education and piano competitions

Music schools

At the age of seven, Pletnjow began his piano training at the school for gifted students at the Kazan Conservatory with Kira Alexandrovna Schaschkina . At the age of 13 he passed the entrance examination for the Central Music School in Moscow at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory there - including after performing a sonatina he had composed himself - and became a student of Yevgeny Timakin . Pletnyov describes Timakin's outstanding pedagogical abilities as “brilliant” and jokes that “I came to Moscow when I was thirteen and couldn't really play yet, but he taught me a fabulous technique. I think if he has been teaching an elephant or a monkey for two years, then they will be able to play as perfectly as all of his other students, ”including Ivo Pogorelich , Vladimir Feltsman and Olga Kern .

Student of the Moscow Conservatory

Moscow Conservatory (2017)

After his first success in 1973 at the Jeunesses Musicales International youth music competition in Paris, Pletnjow moved to the Moscow Conservatory in 1974 to study composition with Albert Leman and piano in the master class of Jakow Flier . Pletnjow, whose fellow students Alexander Bruni and Dang Thai Son report anecdotally about his extraordinarily quick comprehension, enormous memory and self-taught skills , was an uncomfortable student. "I never wanted to do what was dictated to me, I always wanted to speak, discuss, deal with the teacher." Flier, for whom Pletnjow had and still has great admiration, accordingly said that he spent so much with this young man for an hour Strength and nerves as needed for two solo concerts.

Pletnjow won the Soviet All-Union competition in Leningrad in 1977 and gained notoriety. After Flier's death due to illness in December 1977, he moved to Lev Vlaenko's class . In the 1977/78 season he made his conducting debut with his composition Fantasy on a Kazakh Theme in Yaroslavl, Minsk and Kazan.

Tchaikovsky competition

In July 1978, Pletnjow won first prize at the renowned and internationally acclaimed Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. The jury member Eugene List then publicly praised Pletnjow's high musical intelligence and foresight. He's not just playing with his head, Pletnjow's lectures have that balance between head and heart that is so important for musicians. At the award-winners' concert, Pletnjow showed, in addition to his pianistic brilliance, everything that would also set him apart in later years: drawing the audience's attention to works outside the standard repertoire and his self-image as a musician, according to which every interpreter should compose in order to gain more understanding for the works of other composers gain. In addition to Tchaikovsky's unfinished Romance in F minor, Op. 5, he performed three of his piano transcripts from the ballet suite The Nutcracker , which had already been recorded in February 1978 for the Melodija record label .

1979 joined Pletnev his studies successfully and in 1981 after finishing a graduate student soloist of the State Concert Agency Goskonzert. At the same time he began to teach piano at the Moscow Conservatory as assistant to V Lassenko - as far as his national and international concert commitments allowed. Pletnev's students include Sergei Babayan , Lev Vinocour , Aleksandra Žvirblytė and Justas Dvarionas .

Beginning of the musical career

International stages

After winning the Tchaikovsky competition and a subsequent concert tour through the Soviet Union, Pletnjow gradually introduced himself to international stages. On January 14, 1979, he made his debut as part of his first West German tour with the Radio Symphony Orchestra of the USSR under Vladimir Fedossejew in Viersen, then in Bielefeld, Kassel, Hoechst, Nuremberg and Augsburg. In July of the same year he played for the first time in the United States at the Newport Music Festival, Rhode Island, together with the 1978 award winners Elmar Oliveira and Nataniel Rosen of the violin and cello categories.

When Pletnjow performed as a soloist for the first time in February 1982 as a replacement for Andrei Gawrilow in Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Munich, there was great interest in the “insider tip among friends of virtuoso piano music”. Not least because Pletnjow's long-playing records had received rave reviews. The tour was a success and the audience was thrilled. Pletnjow himself could not believe the “roaring applause” and the music criticism indulged in superlatives in view of his “virtuoso vitality”.

Pletnev's concert appearances remained "outside the Soviet sphere of influence" at the instigation of the Gos concert, which also interfered in the concert program, and were occasionally completely suspended. Interest in Pletnjow, who was interpreted as having "intellectual restraint" and in terms of playing technique "pianistic overpowering", remained high - regardless of his temporary abstinence from the stage and the limited number of recordings available beyond the Iron Curtain . The reason for this was radio concert broadcasts, which not only illustrated the "breadth of his repertoire", but also showed the potential of being " processed into cult records by Michelangeli and Horowitz " before.

When asked about his steep career after the Tchaikovsky Competition, Pletnjow remarked: “But not a quick one.” The competition “helped him a lot, but there were still problems with Soviet politics. Herr Brezhnev didn't want me to play in the West. That's why my career stagnated at first ”. Pletnjow adds laconically to this phase of life: “I stayed at home” and “I composed a little, played a little piano, conducted a little and played a little music professor.” The opportunity to deal with music “in any form” is “ not bad ”for him.

Soviet Union

Tchaikovsky's grand piano in Klin (2011)

Pletnjow performed frequently in Moscow in the 1980s and performed piano works by Tchaikovsky. His interpretations refused the then usual "bombastic" romanticized Aufführpraxis and showed moves " Mahle Generic inner conflict" - ". Bold, threatening, inexorably" The Pianist Babayan recalls that this is "actually a Tchaikovsky Renaissance" triggered. He explains: Pletnjow “was a stroke of luck that Tchaikovsky reopened for us”. In 1986 Vladimir Horowitz invited Pletnjow on the occasion of his tour of Russia to visit the Tchaikovsky Museum in Klin and to play Tchaikovsky's piano. In December 1986, Svyatoslav Richter noted in his diary how "extraordinarily talented" Pletnjow was. He had performed Tchaikovsky works at Richter's festival in December nights in the Pushkin Museum.

On June 1, 1990, Pletnjow, together with the tenor Zurab Sotkilawa, designed the artistic program for the reception of George Bush by Mikhail Gorbachev in the Soviet embassy in Washington, DC, on the occasion of the Soviet-US summit.

International recognition

In 1990 Pletnjow founded the RNO and has appeared alongside his pianistic career as a composer.

Grammy Award and media presence

Opening concert of the Russian-German cultural encounters (2003)

In 2002 Pletnjow dedicated his arrangement of the ballet concert suites from Prokofiev's Cinderella for two pianos to Martha Argerich. The internationally acclaimed premiere by Argerich and Pletnjow, “the two great pianists of our time”, took place on June 30, 2002 at the first ever Progetto Martha Argerich Festival in Lugano with overwhelming success. The music review judged that the arrangement was appropriate to the ability of the duet partners, who "complement each other" despite or because of their opposing temperaments. In 2004 a recording for Deutsche Grammophon followed and in 2005 the recording received a Grammy Award in the category of best chamber music performance . In the same year, the recording of Pletnev plays Schumann was nominated in the category Best Solo Instrument Performance Without Orchestra . In 2004, Pletnjow received a Grammy Awards nomination for the recording Prokofiev 3 - Rachmaninov 3 in the category Best Solo Instrument Performance with Orchestra .

Pletnjow drew broader media attention in 1996 and 2000 through his appearances at the concerts of the Berlin Philharmonic under Claudio Abbado, which are broadcast worldwide and available on DVD / Blu-ray disc . He became generally known in Germany in 2003 for conducting the St. Petersburg Philharmonic at the televised opening event of the German-Russian cultural encounters agreed in the Petersburg Dialog in the presence of Johannes Rau and Vladimir Putin .

In October 2017 Pletnjows "gentle" and the roll was the orchestra appreciation in Reorchestrierung of Frédéric Chopin op first piano concerto in E Minor. 11 and second Piano Concerto F minor op. 21 in the concert hall Dortmund with Daniil Trifonov on the piano and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra under performed and broadcast on Arte .

Beethoven project

Mikhail Pletnyov (2004)

Pletnjow dealt intensively with Beethoven's symphonic and piano-orchestral works. In the summer of 2006, he recorded all nine symphonies with the RNO in Moscow within eleven days . He explains that this was only possible because he and the orchestra had used every opportunity for “years” to perform Beethoven's oeuvre . "We became part of it."

In September 2006, Pletnjow performed Beethoven's five piano concertos with the RNO under Christian Gansch on two consecutive evenings at the Beethoven Festival in Bonn, which operated under the motto Beethoven and the Russian Cultural Area . The live recordings, which were published by Deutsche Grammophon at intervals up to 2008, were given dualistic reviews. The music critics emphasized "the diamond-sharp articulation of every detail" in Pletnjow's "game" from a "brilliance that few pianists achieve"; and nevertheless noticed a mannerist "lost dream and self", whose "enthusiastically heard episodes" lacked the "big move". Pletnjow's "idiosyncratic accents and rubati, dramaturgically diverted tensions and thus radical processes of cutting the cord from beloved clichés" are, however, a Beethoven listening experience "from the first to the last second".

Opera

At the end of September 2006, Pletnjow retired from the stage as a pianist for a few years, canceled existing concert engagements around the world, concentrated on the RNO and turned to opera. On October 5th, 2007 he made his internationally acclaimed debut as an opera conductor in a new production of Tchaikovsky's Queen of Spades by Valeri Fokins at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow. Pletnjow received a nomination for the Golden Mask for Best Opera Conductor . This was followed in concert performances by Rachmaninov's Aleko and Francesca da Rimini in November 2007, Bizet's Carmen and Rimski-Korsakov's May night in spring 2008, and Mozart's Magic Flute in September 2009. Since then, Pletnjov's concert performances have been an integral part of the RNO, which takes place every year in Moscow at the start of the season Grand Festival and the tours of the RNO.

On September 9, 2018, Pletnjow conducted the first public concert in the Moscow Concert Hall Sarjadje with the soloists Krassimira Stojanowa (soprano), Ildar Abdrazakow (bass), Francesco Meli (tenor) and the RNO. Arias and overtures from the operas Khovanshchina by Mussorgsky , A Life for the Tsar and Ruslan and Lyudmila by Glinka , Aleko by Rachmaninov, Eugene Onegin by Tchaikovsky, L'elisir d'amore by Donizetti and Carmen by Bizet were performed.

Return to the pianist stage

Mikhail Pletnyov (2017)

In April 2013 Pletnjow returned to the pianist stage after a break of more than 6 years and gave several "charity concerts in support of the Russian National Orchestra" in the Orchester, the rented rehearsal location of the RNO in Moscow. Rumors have been around since December 2012 when he performed as a soloist at a private event to mark the 100th anniversary of the Pushkin Museum . Norman Lebrecht commented that Pletnev's return to the piano was "one of the most anticipated events" in the classical world. Pletnjow performed with the Kremerata Baltica in Switzerland as early as the spring of 2013 and performed regularly as a soloist with the RNO in the following years.

Pletnjow cited the desire to perform Robert Schumann's A minor concerto in public as the reason for “reviving the old times” . In addition, the cooperation with the Japanese piano maker Shigeru Kawai , who, according to his sound ideas, has provided him with a piano tuner for his SK-EX concert grand piano since March 2013. Pletnjow previously criticized the timbres of the Steinway grand pianos available in concert halls , favored instruments that were built “before the war”, and therefore gave instructions on how to prepare the Steinway grand pianos before concerts, the associations with mechanic work in the “pit lane Car races ”. In the years before his pianistic abstinence from the stage, Pletnjow preferred Blüthner grand pianos , which he requested especially for Mozart recordings and the Beethoven project.

Pure solo concert evenings by Pletnjows have been a rarity since 2013. In 2018 he gave three highly acclaimed concerts in Germany that were programmatically dedicated to Rachmaninoff. Isabel Herzfeld was “fascinated and disturbed” in the FAZ in 2019 after a Beethoven / Liszt concert. She did not locate this in the “flashing precision” with which Pletnjow performed “horrendously difficult concert studies”, but in their musical arrangement of “unbelievable richness of nuances, with which he gives each phrase a rapidly changing, sometimes contrary expression” - his “touch sensitivity which, if necessary, does not shy away from any hardship, the time he takes to initiate developments or bring about breaks ”.

Pletnjow, who has an immense repertoire, is known for presenting rarely performed works to the public and for surprising “with unusual” programs “which he knows how to give a deep meaning like no other”.

Artistic collaborations

Festival initiator

Ivanovka Mansion (2018)

Pletnjow initiated the RNO Grand Festival in Moscow for the first time in 2009. The annual two-week event is dedicated to different programmatic priorities for which Pletnjow is responsible. In 2018, the focus was on orchestral works for Russian folk instruments such as the bayan and the domra .

In 2014 and 2016, Pletnjow organized the international music festival SW Rachmaninov for the local population on the Rachmaninov museum site in Ivanovka , near the Russian Uvarovo in the Tambov Oblast , and performed with the RNO and as a soloist.

Mikhail Pletnyov Foundation

In April 2006, Pletnjow and Oleg Wjatscheslawowitsch Poltewski, the managing director of the RNO, founded the Moscow-based Mikhail Pletnjow Foundation for the promotion of national culture with the intention of supporting cultural events. In cooperation with Deutsche Grammophon, the foundation financed Pletnjow's Beethoven project in 2006. She was the sponsor of the RNO's Volga Tour, which took place until 2008, and the RNO Grand Festival has been sponsored since 2009 and the SW Rachmaninov International Music Festival on the Ivanovka museum grounds since 2014. Funding to build an open-air concert theater in Ivanovka was made available in 2017.

In 2017, in cooperation with the State Glinka Museum of the Consortium of Musical Culture in Moscow, the Foundation realized the two-volume publication Николай Голованов и его время , which is dedicated to the Soviet conductor, composer and pianist Nikolai Golovanov . Pletnjow is a member of the scientific editorial board of the project The Complete Works, Academic Edition by PI Tchaikovsky , founded in 2013 , an overview of Tchaikovsky's work that has been published since 2018.

The festival included concert performances, a folk instrument competition and a symposium, in which Russian musicians, the zither soloist Wilfried Scharf and the mandolist and lutenist Alon Sariel took part.

Private life

In addition to Russian citizenship, Pletnjow also has Swiss citizenship and lives in Moscow and Lucerne.

At a young age, Pletnjow practiced intensively in the sports of soccer, table tennis and badminton, later he turned to skiing and, due to knee problems, diving and billiards. Pletnyov appreciates fast cars and has a license to fly microlights . The musician, attributed by Joachim Kaiser as a highly intelligent Russian, speaks several languages, is well versed in literature and philosophical subjects and plays chess.

In July 2010, Pletnjow, who owns real estate in Thailand, moved into the focus of international reports and journals as the Thai judiciary was investigating allegations against him on suspicion of child sexual abuse. After his arrest in Pattaya , Pletnjow was released on bail , but had to remain available. Immediately after the first press reports in July, Pletnjow announced that the Orchestra della Svizzera italiana would be a guest conductor planned for November. The prerequisite for further cooperation is that Pletnjow is acquitted of all allegations. After a police investigation, the case against Pletnyov was officially closed in December 2010 without charge. In 2013, an artistic director said that the “story in Thailand” was of no relevance to her as a concert hall operator or festival organizer.

Pletnyov rarely gives interviews and describes himself as "insanely lazy". When asked which attribution he would choose for himself, he told Pianonews succinctly: "I am a music lover".
