"Concibo el sonido del violín como si fuera una voz humana" "La música es muchas cosas en mi vida. Al principio empezó casi como un juego; hoy todo es muy distinto. Si hablo de música pienso en que es mi forma de expresarme; es algo así como un modo de existir" (entrevi ta con J. Codina, del Diario de Mallorca) 1 J oshua Bell nació en 1967 en Indiana (Estados Unidos) y estudió con J osef Gingold. Debutó en el Camegie Hall a los 17 años y desde entonces ha grabado más de 30 discos. Actualmente graba ~-- con exclusividad para Sony Music, y es representado por IMG Artists. Este violinista, ganador del premio Grammy, ha cautivado a las audiencias del mundo por más de 20 años. Conocido por su musicalidad poética, Joshua llamó la atención a los 14 años cuando hizo su primera presentación, altamente aclamada, con la orquesta de Filadelfia bajo la dirección de Riccardo Muti. Tal actuación fue seguida rápidamente por su debut en el Camegie Hall y la firma subsecuente de un contrato de grabación, hechos que causaron sensación en el mundo de la música. Ha tocado con casi todas las más importantes orquestas sinfónicas y los más renombrados directores, y ha ganado el título de 'superestrella' , algo inusitado en el campo de la música clásica. "Bell ha pasado de ser un mago de la técnica a convertirse en un verdadero artista e intelec­ tual cuya música alimenta tanto al corazón como al cerebro", dijo Newsweek. Digitalizado por la Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango del Banco de la República, Colombia. Creció junto a sus dos hermanas en una granja en Bloomington, Indiana. En su niñez, además de dedicarse a la música fue ávido practicante de juegos de computador y un atleta competitivo. A los diez años ocupó el cuarto lugar en un torneo nacional de tenis, deporte que aun practica. Sus padres, ambos psicólogos de profe­ sión, le regalaron su primer violín a los cuatro años luego de notar que "tocaba" y hacía sonar bandas de caucho estirada alrededor de las manijas de los cajones de la cómoda. A los doce años tomaba con seriedad el instrumento, en gran parte gracias a la inspiración del reconocido violinista y pedagogo José Gingold, quien ya se había convertido en su querido profesor y mentor. A los 18 fIrmó su primer contrato de grabación con el sello LondonlDecca para el cual grabó buena parte del repertorio clásico del violín. Con el propósito de ampliar sus horizontes musicales fIrmó contrato con Sony Classical en 1996, una relación que ha dado como fruto una amplia colección de discos. Sus lanzamientos más recientes son los conciertos para violín de Mendelssohn y Beethoven (con cadenzas escritas por Bel1) con la Camerata Salzburg dirigida por Sir Roger 2 Norrington, y la banda sonora de la película Iri h motion compuesta por James Homer. En 2002 su grabación de West Side Story Suite, basada en la obra de Leonard Bemstein, fue ganadora del premio Grarnrny e interpretada en la transmisión de televisión de la entrega anual de esos galardones, como también en el especial Joshua Bell: West Side Story Suite from Central Park, que fue nominado para el premio Ernrny como mejor programa clásico de música y danza. En 2001 Bell recibió el premio Grarnrny y un premio Mercury por su interpretación del Concierto para violín de Nicolas Maw. Escrito expresamente para él, lo estrenó con la Filarmónica de Londres bajo la dirección de Sir Roger Norrington. La grabación de los conciertos para violín de Sibelius y de Goldmark con la Filarmónica de Los Ángeles, bajo la dirección de Esa-Pekka Salonen, fue destacada por Echo Klassik como la mejor grabación de concierto. También fue nominado al Grarnrny por su interpreta­ ción de la obra Gershwin Phantasy, basada en Porgy and Bess, con John Williams como director y pianista. Digitalizado por la Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango del Banco de la República, Colombia. Impaciente por ir más lejos e incursionar en otros géneros musica­ les, ha tocado desde 1998 con su viejo amigo, el contrabajista y compositor Edgar Meyer; con él y con los legendarios músicos de bluegrass Sam Bush y Mike Marshall conformó un cuarteto, agrupación que fue nominada para el premio Grammy por Short Trip Home. Otras experiencia de esta naturaleza son sus colabora­ ciones con Wynton Marsalis en Listen to the Storyteller, disco para niños, y con Bela Fleco en Perpetual Motion. Ambos discos recibieron el premio Grammy. Uno de los mayores esfuerzos de Joshua Bell recibió un gran espaldarazo de los Premios Osear de la Academia. Después de trabajar tres años con el compositor John Corigliano en la banda sonora de la película El violín rojo, el álbum recibió el gran premio como mejor partitura original. Ante una audiencia mundial de televisión Corigliano exclamó jubiloso: "Joshua toca como un dios." Como entusiasta de la música de cámara inició en 1997 una serie anual de conciertos en el venerable Wigmore Hall de Londres; dado el éxito alcanzado allí, fue invitado por el Auditorio del Louvre para 3 repetirla en París. Ha interpretado música de cámara con artistas como Pamela Frank, Steven Isserlis, Edgar Meyer y Yefim Bronfman, y ocasionalmente con artistas no clásicos como Bobby McFerrin, Chick Corea y James Tay loro Obtuvo el diploma de artista en la Universidad de Indiana. En 1998 comenzó a dictar clases magistrales en la London Royal Academy of Music y ha sido profesor adjunto en el Massachu sets Institute ofTechnology Media Lab al cual ha ayudado a desarrollar una nueva generación de instrumentos y juguetes de alta tecnología.

  • Frederic Chiu Distant Voices Piano Music by Claude Debussy & Gao Ping
    Frederic Chiu Distant Voices Piano Music by Claude Debussy & Gao Ping Frederic Chiu - Biography With a vibrant concert schedule, a legacy of 25 CDs, and a stream of superlatives from major critics around the globe, pianist Frederic Chiu occupies a special place in the world of classical music. In an eclectic career encompassing unusual collaborations and little-played repertoire, along with explorations into the psychology of performance, Mr. Chiu has demonstrated an ability to go beyond boundaries. Not coincidentally, this long- term Yamaha Artist also helped the instrument establish its brand as one the world’s great piano makers by providing important feedback to technicians as they developed the newest models. The accolades tell part of the story. Reviewers have called his recorded performances “playing on an exalted level” (Fanfare), and “stunningly virtuosic… [with a] sense of spontaneity [that] is often incandescent” (BBC Music Magazine). The New Yorker included his version of Liszt’s Années de Pélérinage, Italie among their “Best Classical Albums of 2001.” His Mendelssohn Sonatas—selected as “Record of the Year” by Stereo Review— became a best-seller in the classical piano category. Live performances continue to play a major role in his life. Mr. Chiu has toured Europe and the U.S. with the Orchestre de Bretagne and Stefan Sanderling. He has played with the Hartford Symphony, Dayton Philharmonic, Kansas City Symphony, Indianapolis Symphony, BBC Scottish Symphony, BBC Concert Orchestra, Estonia National Symphony, China National Symphony, the FOSJE Orquesta in Ecuador, among others. In recital he performs in the world's most prestigious halls including the Berlin Philharmonic, Kioi and Suntory Halls in Tokyo, Lincoln Center in New York and Kennedy Center in Washington DC.
