XXIII A. Scriabin International Competition

final round with orchestra 2021, 4th July Teatro Comunale degli Industri GROSSETO - Italy

È come sempre un onore per l’Amministrazione comunale di Grosseto accogliere e sostenere il Premio internazionale pianistico “Scriabin”. Nonostante le restrizioni imposte dalla pandemia, gli organizzatori non si sono fermati e dopo aver svolto le prime due prove di selezione online è stato possibile portare la finale al Teatro degli Industri. La musica classica dei grandi compositori torna a essere protagonista di un appuntamento ormai imperdibile per la nostra città, che permette di far conoscere musicisti di talento provenienti da tutto il mondo e di far apprezzare la musica classica a un pubblico sempre più ampio. Ringrazio gli organizzatori del Premio Scriabin per il grande impegno che mettono in campo ogni anno, coinvolgendo l’Orchestra sinfonica “Città di Grosseto”, nostra eccellenza in campo musicale. Il sindaco di Grosseto Antonfrancesco Vivarelli Colonna

Ormai il Premio internazionale pianistico “Scriabin” rappresenta un tassello fondamentale per la nostra offerta culturale, grazie alla sua capacità di veicolare la musica classica a un pubblico vasto ed eterogeneo. Il tutto nella suggestiva cornice del Teatro degli Industri, pronto a ospitare sul palco i pianisti di livello internazionale che si sono aggiudicati la finale. Veniamo da mesi difficili per la cultura e per la musica, ma l’importante è riuscire a tenere duro e a non fermarsi. Il Premio è un nostro fiore all’occhiello e il contributo che riesce a dare per fare della nostra città un punto di riferimento per la grande musica rientra a pieno titolo nel percorso che abbiamo avviato come Amministrazione con la candidatura di Grosseto a Capitale della Cultura italiana 2024.

Il vice sindaco e assessore alla Cultura Luca Agresti

L’edizione 2021 del Premio internazionale pianistico “Scriabin” è davvero speciale. E non solo per modo di dire. A partire dalla data, in piena estate anziché a febbraio. Ma soprattutto per la formula del tutto inedita, dovuta al periodo che tutti noi stiamo vivendo: la pandemia di Covid-19 ci ha costretti alla modalità online per selezionare i tre finalisti. Non abbiamo però voluto rinunciare alla serata finale con l’esibizione e le premiazioni in presenza, sul palco del Teatro degli Industri di Grosseto. Un piccolo grande segnale verso la rinascita, accompagnati dalla musica. Ringrazio i componenti la giuria, i partecipanti e naturalmente tutti i nostri sostenitori, il cui contributo è indispensabile alla nostra rassegna e al prestigio ormai consolidato che negli anni è stata capace di conquistarsi a livello internazionale. Ancora una volta Grosseto è tra le capitali della musica.

CHRISTOPH SOLDAN. The 55- year old pianist studied under Professors Eliza Hansen and Christoph Eschenbach at the Hamburg Musikhochschule. His break- through to active international concert playing came in a tour with Leonard Bernstein in summer 1989. Of Christoph Soldan, the world- famous director said, “I am impressed by the soulful size of this young musician.“ Since then, Soldan has played in numerous tours with renowned orchestras across Europe and abroad. In particular, this can be seen in the CD recordings of all of Mozart´s piano concertos, which were performed and recorded from 1996 until 2006 A tour of piano evenings took place in Mexico and other countries in Central America in October 1997. In August 1998 he debuted in Salzburg and in the Chamber Music Hall of the Berlin Philharmonic, and in May 1999 in the Leipzig Gewandhaus. In March 2000, there were three piano evenings in Japan. So far, there have been radio and television productions with the Hessische Rundfunk, Frankfurt, Deutschlandfunk, SWR, ORF and ZDF. The Bayerische Rundfunk broadcasted his piano evening in the Munich Residenz in October 1998 and his concert in the Bad Brückenau music festival live in 1999. Radio Bremen braodcasted his recital in Bremen in august 2002 . Starting in 1996 Soldan was performing all 27 piano concertos by Mozart together with the slovakian chamber orchestra CAPPELLA ISTROPOLITANA, the chamber orchestra of PFORZHEIM and the SILESIAN CHAMBER ORCHESTRA Katowice. This cycle of concerts ended in January 2006, performing the concertos for 2 and 3 . Christoph Soldan developed a “pas de deux for piano and dance”, together with his wife, the dancer and choreographer Stefanie Goes. The première took place in Stuttgart in May 2000. In Spring 2001 he participated the Prague Spring Festival accompanied by the slovakian chamberorchestra “Cappella Istropolitana”. Two recitals in Hamburg and Berlin were followed by a live – recording of two Mozart piano concertos in the medieval monastery of Maulbronn in september 2002. In January 2004 the première of the new dance project “something about humans and angels” took place in Stuttgart followed by a concert- tour to South Africa. Since 2007 Soldan is working also as a conductor concerning the performances of piano concertos by Bach and Mozart. In the next season Christoph Soldan will be guesting in Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria, Poland and Slovakia with various programmes such as recitals, literary concerts, childrens concerts, as soloist with 5 of Mozarts´piano – concertos, Schumanns piano concerto, Mendelssohns doubleconcerto, Chopins e- minor concerto, Beethovens 4th piano concerto as well as in chamber music programmes with Brahms piano quintet op. 34 and Schuberts “trout” quintett. Since 1994 Christoph Soldan is artistic director of a several chambermusic festivals in Germany as “Goldener Oktober Schwandorf”, “Klassik in Waldkraiburg” or “Meisterkonzerte Bacharach”. In 2007 together with his wife Soldan founded a theatre in the north of Baden-Württemberg between Stuttgart and Heidelberg, www.theaterdoerzbach.de , where all artistic programmes are taking place since then. The German press describes Christoph Soldan as an artist personality who works with the spiritual intensity and soulful dimension of a piece of music, rather than giving a purely technical virtuoso performance. This challenge to music and to himself is rarely seen today.

However, the biggest success came in 1986 she won the silver medal at the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition.
