18. November 2020 the Salzburg Festival
Press Release of the Salzburg Festival (SF 18 November 2020). The Salzburg Festival congratulates IGOR LEVIT on being acclaimed “Recording Artist of the Year” by the renowned specialist publication Musical America. In 2019 the Salzburg Festival was honoured by Musical America as “Festival of the Year”. In 2020, the renowned American music publication bestowed the title “Recording Artist of the Year” upon the pianist Igor Levit. The prestigious honours are being awarded for the 60th time. The jury offered the following statement: “The decision to honour pianist Igor Levit as Recording Artist of the Year recognizes his early determination not to allow the pandemic to curtail his music-making. When COVID-19 hit, Levit was one of the first musicians to embrace the livestream with his marathon performance of Satie’s Vexations, rightfully hailed as an unflagging feat of artistic and physical endurance.” “The Salzburg Festival, and especially I personally, are delighted to see this outstanding award bestowed on Igor Levit. His activism via livestream kept direct contact with our audience alive, even during the darkest times of the coronavirus. During recent years, his unforgettable concerts have been an essential contribution to the Salzburg Festival. His interpretation of the 32 Beethoven Piano Sonatas, a masterly achievement in pianistic and intellectual terms, were a highlight of our 2020 centenary festival. Needless to say, Igor Levit and I in my capacity as artistic director have plans for the coming years. I send him my heartfelt congratulations,” says the Festival’s artistic director, Markus Hinterhäuser. The honourees will be recognized this year in an all-virtual ceremony to be presented via Facebook Live on December 6 at 10 am CET (4:00 pm EST). -

IGOR LEVIT LIFE October 5, 2018
IGOR LEVIT LIFE October 5, 2018 At last, a new Igor Levit album – and as was to be expected, in XXL format once again. The Berlin-based 31-year-old loves the big and complex, even physically challenging tasks. It is not for nothing that he describes himself as a “maximalist.” His first three Sony productions, all highly acclaimed, involved some of the greatest groups of works in the canon for solo piano: Beethoven’s late piano sonatas, Bach’s six Partitas, and the three most impressive piano variation works in the history of music. Now, for the first time, a very personal selection of works deliberately made up of associatively composed works follows, recorded in the spring of 2018 in Berlin’s famed Jesus-Christus-Kirche so well-known for its acoustics, on an excellently tuned new Steinway grand. Levit presents an imaginary recital encompassing a tremendous emotional range, extending from the intimate (Schumann’s “Ghost Variations” (Theme and Variations in E-flat major) or Bill Evans’s “Peace Piece”) to the sublime and monumental (Liszt-Busoni’s “Ad nos”). More than ever, the individuality and insatiable curiosity of the young artist becomes apparent. The passionate intellectual presents himself as an equally adventurous and passionate guide through musical regions in which the great questions of human existence arise – questions about meaning and duration, about inner peace, memory and salvation. Three years have passed since he pulled off a CD hat-trick with three variation cycles by Bach, Beethoven and Rzewski. Among other accolades, it was named “Gramophone Recording of the Year.” Much has happened in the meantime. -

You are a key reason the School is in such fine heart with a splendid new music teaching building and magnificent concert hall. You are also part of the reason the School can face the future Welcome to this evening’s rather with a degree of confidence. However, it is the “thousand” musicians special concert to celebrate gathered on the stage of the Bridgewater Hall that is really what this Chetham’s 50th anniversary. It seems School and the future is all about. a little invidious to single out one of I trust that you will all, whichever part of the Hall you’re in, thoroughly the 50 concerts planned for the year enjoy the evening and the experience is indeed a fitting celebration of 50 but, if it had to be one, than Mahler’s remarkable years. 8th symphony is a worthy candidate. As one of the largest-scale choral works in the classical concert repertoire it is quite an undertaking by anyone, let alone a school. Huge credit must go to all involved, both students and staff, for showing such élan in performing the “Symphony of a Thousand”. HRH The Earl of Wessex KG GCVO Patron of Chetham’s School of Music I think it says a great deal about the staff that they have such confidence in their students and much of that esprit must rest with Stephen Threlfall who has been Director of Music since 1995. -

One should note that the Latvian art scene, especially visual arts, and entitled “North by to a lesser extent literature, went through a period of disorientation during the Northeast” socialist years, with its attempts to instrumentalise arts by preferring one kind of esthetics and prohibiting another. Thus, resistance became a driving force for art and artists for a significant amount of time. Having a language that has ancient roots but is nowadays spoken by only two million people is another key factor for developments in Latvian culture. On the one hand, it could have made our poets and writers less heard for wider audi- ences, on the other hand – cherishing the language and seeing it as an endan- gered cultural value has been a powerful impulse for creative work. -
