  • Vincent LARDERET Concert Pianist
    Vincent LARDERET Concert Pianist Honored by the revered title of “Steinway Artist”, Vincent LARDERET has attracted international recognition for the exceptional intensity of his performances and his highly acclaimed recordings. Praised for his “amazing sensitivity with the lyrical line” (The classical shop, UK) and his “multi-timbred” sound (Fanfare, USA), he “makes the piano equal to an orchestra” (Classica, France) with a wide range of pianistic colors, The Star in Canada described : “his playing is remarkable for its ease as well as style. Larderet overcomes with panache”. Nominated for the "International Classical Music Awards" 2012 and "Classical Revelation" by Adami winner at MIDEM 2003 in Cannes, he has established himself as one of the leading French pianists of his generation. Piano Magazine n°49 in France declared, “Vincent Larderet compels a colorful, powerful and supremely mastered style. As Larderet aims for expression and touches the heart of music, the piano becomes distinguished, noble, and expressive”. Vincent Larderet’s eclectic repertoire stretches from Scarlatti to Boulez, who played an important role in romantic music, French music and during the 20th century. He is also ardently favors lesser-known composers such as Scriabin, De Falla, Schmitt and Szymanowski. In 2007 he performed a series of recitals dedicated to Beethoven and especially distinguished himself with the "Hammerklavier" Opus 106 and Opus 111. He also participated in the complete live recording of Beethoven's Sonatas, notably alongside Stephen Kovacevich for the prestige DVD set released by Piano Passion. He worked in Paris with Carlos Cebro who passed on to him the stylistic and musical heritage of Vlado Perlemuter and studied Ravel works on Perlemuter’s scores annotated after his collaboration with the composer.

César Franck’ın Prelüd, Koral ve Füg eserinin incelenmesi, Yüksek Lisans Sanat Çalışması Raporu, Ankara, 2015. 19. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında Fransız Müziği’nin önde gelen isimlerinden ve usta orgcularından biri olan César Franck, piyanoda benimsediği org anlayışı ile döneminin en ilgi çekici bestecilerindendir. Piyano enstrümanıyla org etkisi yarattığı eserleri ile Debussy ve Ravel gibi diğer öncü bestecileri etkiler. Eserlerinde, enstrümantal fikirleri polifonik anlayış ile birleştirerek yoğun bir atmosfer oluşturur. “Prelüd, Koral ve Füg”, zengin armonik yapısı, piyanonun her türlü imkanının sonuna kadar kullanılması, Franck’ın duyumsal ve dindar kişiliğinden gelen mistik öğeleri sağlam bir form anlayışıyla dengelemesi nedeniyle piyano literatürünün anlaşılması en zor ve değerli eserlerinden biridir. Bu çalışmada, bestecinin hayatı, eserleri ve içinde bulunduğu kültürel ortamla ilgili bilgi verilmiş, esere adını veren üç form ve tekrarlı biçim ayrıntılı olarak açıklanmıştır. Son bölümde de eserin form analizi yapılmıştır. Anahtar Sözcükler Franck, Prelüd, Koral, Füg, Tekrarlı Biçim. v ABSTRACT GENÇGÖNÜL, Begümhan.

  • French Performance Practices in the Piano Works of Maurice Ravel
    Studies in Pianistic Sonority, Nuance and Expression: French Performance Practices in the Piano Works of Maurice Ravel Iwan Llewelyn-Jones Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy School of Music Cardiff University 2016 Abstract This thesis traces the development of Maurice Ravel’s pianism in relation to sonority, nuance and expression by addressing four main areas of research that have remained largely unexplored within Ravel scholarship: the origins of Ravel’s pianism and influences to which he was exposed during his formative training; his exploration of innovative pianistic techniques with particular reference to thumb deployment; his activities as performer and teacher, and role in defining a performance tradition for his piano works; his place in the French pianistic canon. Identifying the main research questions addressed in this study, an Introduction outlines the dissertation content, explains the criteria and objectives for the performance component (Public Recital) and concludes with a literature review. Chapter 1 explores the pianistic techniques Ravel acquired during his formative training, and considers how his study of specific works from the nineteenth-century piano repertory shaped and influenced his compositional style and pianism. Chapter 2 discusses Ravel’s implementation of his idiosyncratic ‘strangler’ thumbs as articulators of melodic, harmonic, rhythmic and textural material in selected piano works. Ravel’s role in defining a performance tradition for his piano works as disseminated to succeeding generations of pianists is addressed in Chapter 3, while Chapters 4 and 5 evaluate Ravel’s impact upon twentieth-century French pianism through considering how leading French piano pedagogues and performers responded to his trailblazing piano techniques.
