RUSSIAN, SOVIET & POST-SOVIET CONCERTOS A Discography Of CDs And LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) Born in Sontsovka, Yekaterinoslav Oblast, Ukraine. He was a prodigy who played the piano and composed as a child. His formal training began when Sergei Taneyev recommended as his teacher the young composer and pianist Reinhold Glière who spent two summers teaching Prokofiev theory, composition, instrumentation and piano. Then at the St. Petersburg Conservatory he studied theory with Anatol Liadov, orchestration with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and conducting with Nikolai Tcherepnin. He went on to become one of Russia's greatest composers, excelling in practically every genre of music. He left the Soviet Union in 1922, touring as a pianist and composing in Western Europe and America, but returned home permanently in 1936.

    Intervju: Anna Vinnitskaya

    Intervju: Anna Vinnitskaya Jag vill lämna publiken med upplevelser som efter en bra film, med nya erfarenheter och upplevelser, snarare än att imponera med virtuositet Konsertpianisten Anna Vinnitskaya tog emot CAPRICCIO på Konzerthaus i Berlin i våras i samband medhennes framförande av Dmitrij Sjostakovitjs första pianokonsert. Vinnitskaya övar när jag anländer, och jag väntar avsiktligt med att knacka på dörren till repetitionsrummet för att inte avbryta mitt i en fras i Rachmaninovs tredje pianokonsert. Samma dag som vårt samtal ägde rum släpptes även hennes senaste skiva med Bachkonserter för piano, inspelad medEvgeni Koroliov, Ljupka Hadzi Georgievaoch Kammerakademie Potsdam (Alpha). Anna Vinnitskaya föddes 1983 i Novorossiysk vid Svarta havet. Båda hennes föräldrar var pianister och hon tog tidigt pianolektioner, från sex års ålder. Hon har gett konserter internationellt sedan hon var sju år gammal. När Vinnitskaya var liten fann hon glädje i musikutövandet; som tonåring blev pianospelandet dock alltmer en form av yrkesidentitet nästan i en slags sportslig riktning för den vänsterhänta pianisten. Hon gav sin första stora konsert – Sjostakovitjs andra pianokonsert – när hon var tolv år gammal. Vinnitskaya har vunnit ett antal tävlingar, första gången när hon var tretton, bland annat Queen Elizabeth Competition i Bryssel 2007 då hon vann första pris – hon var den andra kvinnliga pianisten någonsin att vinna tävlingen – och Leonard Bernstein Award 2008. Hon har även bland annat gett en Junge Wilde- konsert i Dortmund, och gav ut sitt debutalbum 2009. Vinnitskaya är ”Artist in Residence” vid Dresdner Philharmoniker innevarande säsong som kommer att avslutas med just Rachmaninovs tredje pianokonsert i juni 2020. Anna Vinnitskaya © Marco Borggreve Upplevde du att du egentligen någonsin hade något val? Valde du pianot? – För att vara ärlig, nej, valet var inte mitt.

    The Musical Partnership of Sergei Prokofiev And

    THE MUSICAL PARTNERSHIP OF SERGEI PROKOFIEV AND MSTISLAV ROSTROPOVICH A CREATIVE PROJECT SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF MUSIC IN PERFORMANCE BY JIHYE KIM DR. PETER OPIE - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA DECEMBER 2011 Among twentieth-century composers, Sergei Prokofiev is widely considered to be one of the most popular and important figures. He wrote in a variety of genres, including opera, ballet, symphonies, concertos, solo piano, and chamber music. In his cello works, of which three are the most important, his partnership with the great Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich was crucial. To understand their partnership, it is necessary to know their background information, including biographies, and to understand the political environment in which they lived. Sergei Prokofiev was born in Sontovka, (Ukraine) on April 23, 1891, and grew up in comfortable conditions. His father organized his general education in the natural sciences, and his mother gave him his early education in the arts. When he was four years old, his mother provided his first piano lessons and he began composition study as well. He studied theory, composition, instrumentation, and piano with Reinhold Glière, who was also a composer and pianist. Glière asked Prokofiev to compose short pieces made into the structure of a series.1 According to Glière’s suggestion, Prokofiev wrote a lot of short piano pieces, including five series each of 12 pieces (1902-1906). He also composed a symphony in G major for Glière. When he was twelve years old, he met Glazunov, who was a professor at the St.
