Alexander Melnikov Piano, Fortepiano
ALEXANDER MELNIKOV PIANO, FORTEPIANO Biography Alexander Melnikov graduated from the Moscow Conservatory under Lev Naumov. His most formative musical moments in Moscow include an early encounter with Svjatoslav Richter, who thereafter regularly invited him to festivals in Russia and France. He was awarded important prizes at eminent competitions such as the International Robert Schumann Competition in Zwickau (1989) and the Concours Musical Reine Elisabeth in Brussels (1991). Known for his often-unusual musical and programmatic decisions, Alexander Melnikov discovered a career-long interest in historically-informed performance practice at an early age. His major influences in this field include Andreas Staier and Alexei Lubimov. Melnikov performs regularly with distinguished period ensembles including the Freiburger Barockorchester, Musica Aeterna and Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin. As a soloist, Alexander Melnikov has performed with orchestras including the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Philadelphia Orchestra, NDR Sinfonieorchester, HR-Sinfonieorchester, Russian National Orchestra, Munich Philharmonic, Rotterdam Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic, Orchestre des Champs-Élysées and the NHK Symphony, under conductors such as Mikhail Pletnev, Teodor Currentzis, Charles Dutoit, Paavo Järvi and Valery Gergiev. Together with Andreas Staier, Alexander Melnikov developed a programme that sets excerpts from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier (Andreas Staier – harpsichord) in musical dialogue with Shostakovich's 24 Preludes

Alexei Lubimov Messe Noire
ECM Alexei Lubimov Messe Noire Stravinsky: Serenade in A Shostakovich: Sonata No. 2 op. 61 Prokofiev: Sonata No. 7 op. 83 Scriabin: Sonata No. 9 op. 68, “Black Mass” Alexei Lubimov: piano ECM New Series 1679 CD 0289 465 1372 9 Release: June 6th, 2005 “This album is dedicated to my teachers and mentors Anna Artobolevskaja, Heinrich Neuhaus, Lev Naumov and Maria Yudina” Alexei Lubimov 1913, 1925, 1942 and 1943 – stations of Russian piano music in the first half of the 20th century: Scriabin, Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Shostakovich. Four important works, all of them masterpieces. But what connects them? “I see this selection as a panorama of different styles”, says Alexei Lubimov. “Messe Noire” is a subjective selection, and could have had a completely different look. Nevertheless, when the outstanding Russian pianist presents his first solo program since the album “Der Bote” (”The Messenger” – ECM New Series 1771), so highly praised by reviewers when released three years ago, one expects not just highly reflective interpretation, but carefully-considered dramaturgy as well. In the surprisingly homogenous compilation of elegiac miniatures in “Der Bote” – from Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach to Valentin Silvestrov – a withdrawn, meditative tone easily bridged the span of three centuries, and the relationship between the works was immediately audible. “Messe Noire” concentrates on the short span of only 30 years. However, the contrasts between the works are all the more marked and the conflicts carried out in them more intense. Just as “Der Bote” was a “new” program, as Lubimov himself said, representing as it did his repertoire interests since the 90’s, “Messe Noire” is a relatively “old” one.

Around 1730 Gottfried Silbermann (1683–1753), the first important German piano builder, became acquainted with Cristofori’s instru - ments and copied them so successfully that, as early as around 1740, a number of such fortepianos were ordered for the Berlin court. Johann Sebastian Bach was already involved in this development, and as a court virtuoso in Berlin his eldest son, Carl Philipp Emanuel, was one of the earliest significant players of the forte piano.

L a Re N Co N
La Rencontre – Dimanche 20 novembre 2016 Orchestres en fête : Ludwig van (2) Le mythe Beethoven commença d’être élaboré dès avant sa mort. Un enterrement en grande pompe plus tard, les générations à venir pouvaient continuer de bâtir une légende où chacun allait puiser. Ce parcours où s’entrecroisent la musique, la vie et la postérité de Beethoven est au cœur de l’exposition Ludwig van. Le mythe Beethoven, et il trouve son prolon- gement dans deux cycles de concerts. Après un premier cycle « tout Beethoven » (ou presque), le week-end « Orchestres en fête » est l’occasion de proposer aux auditeurs une nouvelle expérience Beethoven. Cette fois, l’accent est mis sur la descendance musi- cale du compositeur, en une démarche d’aller-retour entre œuvres originales et échos artistiques. On y entend ainsi des symphonies (la Neuvième par l’Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg, la Septième par l’Orchestre de Picardie), des concertos (le Triple Concerto par Tugan Sokhiev et l’Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse, le Concerto pour piano n° 5 par Enrique Mazzola, Louis Lortie et l’Orchestre National d’Île-de-France – un spectacle avec vidéo destiné aux familles – ou par Paul Daniel, Nicholas Angelich et l’Orchestre National Bordeaux-Aquitaine, le Concerto pour piano n° 0 par Alexandre Bloch, Alexei Lubimov et l’Orchestre du Conservatoire de Paris) ou des pièces orchestrales diverses. Contemporains ou successeurs de Beethoven y prennent leur place, tel Brahms dont le XIXe siècle finissant voulut absolument faire l’héritier du compositeur en matière symphonique (Symphonie n° 4 par l’Orchestre du Capitole et Tugan Sokhiev).

Samedi 12 Novembre Alexei Lubimov a Le Xe I Lu B Im Ov
Roch-Olivier Maistre, Président du Conseil d’administration Laurent Bayle, Directeur général Samedi 12 novembre Alexei Lubimov Dans le cadre du cycle La mélancolie Du 8 au 13 novembre Samedi 12 novembre Samedi 12 | Vous avez la possibilité de consulter les notes de programme en ligne, 2 jours avant chaque concert, à l’adresse suivante : www.citedelamusique.fr Alexei Lubimov Alexei Cycle La mélancolie « Soleil noir » de Nerval, « bile noire» d’Hippocrate, « oiseau d’ébène » d’Edgar Poe, la ténébreuse mélancolie enveloppe celui qu’elle atteint « d’un jour noir plus triste que les nuits » (Baudelaire). Si l’Église médiévale la condamna, Aristote et Kant l’associèrent au génie et à la création. Considérée comme un remède à la mélancolie, la musique en est en même temps la voix. Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, dans son trio Sanguineus & Melancholicus (ca 1751), se situe dans la perspective de la théorie humorale. Préigurant La Malinconia de Beethoven, sa partition est fondée sur deux caractères, Melancholicus, Allegretto en do mineur, et Sanguineus, Presto en mi bémol majeur, qui, selon l’auteur, « se disputent […] jusqu’à la in du deuxième mouvement », où « le Mélancolique cède ». Longtemps après la disqualiication scientiique de la théorie des humeurs, cette dernière a conservé la puissance des écrits fondateurs : c’est cette place que Pascal Dusapin lui assigne dans sa Melancholia (1991), « opératorio » qui donne à ces textes anciens un caractère sacral. La mélancolie retrouve tout son prix dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle. Des mythes et des dieux, venus du Nord, tendent à remplacer la mythologie gréco-latine.

Executive producer I Fondation Royaumont Co-production I Théâtre de l’incrédule, IMEC Abbaye d’Ardenne - Caen, Théâtre de Caen, Maison de la Musique Nanterrre Residencies l Abbaye de Noirlac CCR, Scène nationale d’Orléans with the precious help of Compagnie Les Rémouleurs, technical stuff of the Théâtre de Caen, FormaTTec – Porrentruy (Switzerland) OPTICAL CONCERT In her singular makery, Louise Moaty reinvents a new type of dialogue between image and music. Linked to pre-cinema, object theatre or cinetic art, the shadow play and projections of her magic lantern interact with the pieces for piano of Erik Satie and John Cage, to create a dreamlike musical landscape, and open new dimensions full of surprises… Contact production / diffusion : Compagnie Louise Moaty Elisabeth Le Coënt [email protected] / +33 6 10 77 20 25 From Satie to Cage… Erik Satie, John Cage: two composers who surveyed the full range of music’s potential, and between whom one can discern the horizon of a musical landscape whose perspectives were clearly identified by Satie in his role as the father of modern music. Following in the footsteps of a creator for whom his admiration knew no bounds, the American composer and visual artist John Cage embarked on his own explorations, asserting the artistic filiation of the two men. In this school of free inquiry, the keyboard plays the role at once of playing field and testing ground. By turns ludic, esoteric, meditative or absurd, provocative, tender or explosive, but always poetic, the music of Satie and Cage – played here on piano, prepared piano, or toy piano – seems to transport us according to the whims of a witty and mysterious mechanism conceived to dream itself into existence.

His enormous talent certainly could have allowed that and in his works we can hear a bridge leading from Mozart’s classical style to the Romanticism of Schubert.
