life and work

The time in Russia

Born in Krasnia Polana in the Caucasus not far from the Black Sea , Volodimir Wіardo took his first steps in music with his mother, the classical singer, singing teacher and pianist Nathalia Viardo . At the age of 14 Wiardo went to Moscow for further musical training. There he studied at the Gnessin Institute with Irina Naumova and then at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory with Lev Naumov , where he stayed for six years as a student. The Naumov family represented Heinrich Neuhaus's pedagogical methods in their training and with this approach produced such successful pianists as Emil Gilels and Sviatoslav Richter . Already at this time Wіardo was engaged as a soloist by the Moscow Philharmonic . After receiving his doctorate, he was immediately engaged as a lecturer at Naumov's Conservatory. At the age of 21 Viardo won third prize and the Prix du Prince Rainier at the Marguerite Long-Jacques Thibaud competition and first prize at the 1973 Van Cliburn International Competition .

Wіardo had already started a remarkable international career after the successes in the aforementioned competitions. Around 1974 he was suddenly deprived of all freedom to travel by the state. For almost thirteen years he was a prisoner of the Iron Curtain . During this time he developed new artistic horizons for himself. He expanded his repertoire to 37 concerts. When Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in the Soviet Union, freedom of travel was restored. From 1987 Wiardo was allowed to accept engagements in Germany and the United States.

The time in the west

In 1989 he went to the College of Music at the University of North Texas as Artist in Residence . Here he founded the Viardo Fellows Foundation, which is committed to musical education at the highest artistic level . As an exceptional and celebrated teacher, Wiardo is one of the international artists who successfully trained young artists from Eastern Europe as well as from Portugal, Spain, Mexico, South Africa and the United Kingdom.

After his return to the West, he had resumed his forcibly interrupted international career with numerous concerts at Carnegie Hall , Lincoln and Kennedy Centers, the Salle Pleyel in Paris and the Concertgebouw . Numerous tours have taken him to American, Canadian and European cities, to Asia and South Africa as well as to Israel, Central and South America. As a soloist, he has worked with numerous renowned conductors such as Lorin Maazel , Zubin Mehta , Vladimir Spivakov , Dmitri Kitayenko , Eduardo Mata , Anatoly Zatin , Kirill Kondrashin and Krzysztof Penderecki .

Wiardo has made numerous music recordings, including JS Bach, Claude Debussy, César Franck, Alemdar Karamanov, Nikolai Medtner, Krzysztof Penderecki, and Sergei Rachmaninov. His recordings included the works of Nicolai Medtner , Lutoslawski with the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra and a Sony release for Penderecki's 60th birthday. His first publications for the Pro Piano Records label with organ transcriptions by Bach-Liszt and Franck-Viardo received international acclaim.
