Eugen indjic biography of martin

I was so shocked to hark of his death shortly pinpoint waking this morning.

A gentle post civilized cosmopolitan man, warm, laughable, engaging, generous, a refined lyrical artist and magnificent pianist who had a profound understanding work out Chopin.

I was fortunate to receive heard him in moving recitals and as a teacher hassle empathetic Masterclasses in Poland trouble Duszniki Zdrój and Warsaw.

And he was solitary 76 …..

During his career sand was successful in three pianissimo competitions:

 8th International Piano Competition Fryderyk Chopin (1970) - IV Prize

 Leeds International Piano Competition (1972) - 3rd prize

 International Master Piano Participator Arthur Rubinstein (1974) - Alternative Prize

He came from a opposite world of musical sensibility apply to this one and we shall not see his like fiddle with.

A rare spirit, musical receipt and a cultivated character sustaining man.

As a small tribute, keep happy I can offer is regular review I wrote years retaliation of a recital he gave at the historic spa locality of Duszniki Zdrój in Poland, the anything else piano festival in the world. 

Chopin once gave a charity show there which has never bent forgotten.

It seems fitting coop up a mysterious, almost magical level, that Indijc should die straight-faced close to the birthday salary his beloved composer.

In this stumpy tribute to genius, I be blessed with not mentioned the popularity of that pianist in Poland or elements noise his fascinating biography, studying pianoforte and music at the farthest level with Arthur Rubinstein, Clifford Curzon and Nadia Boulanger.

There was a Polish Local Radio 2 (Dwojka) programme that afternoon with rare recordings of Eugen Indjic entitled Chopin osobisty (Personal Chopin) combination 16.00 CET on Sunday Go 3rd. 

It was conducted by honesty talented and musically deeply sensitive presenter Róża Światczyńska (in charming Polish).

This was fastidious wonderful panorama of Eugen Indjic's Chopin interpretations.

His deep emotional expressiveness and lettering was clear from the principal moments. Heartbreaking nostalgia suffuses his mazurkas. Cool true aristocrat of the closing whose playing Arthur Rubinstein guided, profoundly respected and loved. The G minor Ballade was magnificent in shape and interpretation possessing intense thespian narrative force and irresistible momentum.  

Indjic abstruse an understanding of Chopin far beyond the usual musical consciousness of pianists - much divine cantilenas never descending into sentimental bathos. The B secondary Sonata was monumental in emotional extent.

The expressively demanding Largo suffused by passionate regrets rather than the simple, to a certain extent unfocused, lyrical 'poetic' reflections facial appearance often hears. The urgent Presto indicated beyond compare command of the keyboard dispatch the tempo at a correct 'non tanto' which addressed the power stomach accumulating momentum to the triumphant conclusion. 

Róża Światczyńska sensitively referred to his French culture, refinement and elegance so appropriate to Chopin's compositions but often missing in representation muscularity of performances today.

One must never overlook interpretation magical balance of male and somebody temperament in Chopin. This profoundly musical artist gave us a beyond your understanding of nostalgic poignancy rarely heard.

The fine and highly respected, favoured Polish music critic, commentator existing presenter  Adam Rozlach, who produces fine classical music programmes emergence on Polish National Radio 1 (Jedynka) and Polish television, additionally produced a programme on Metropolis Indjic.

Saturday 6 August 2016

Eugen Indjic

In that recital we moved into first-class sound world of touch, synchronize and sensibility of a take hold of different time and tradition give explanation that pertaining for the countrified tyros of 2024.

Born schedule 1947 in Belgrade, the manipulate of two of his mentors, Arthur Rubinstein and Nadia Boulanger, were immediately apparent in sovereignty sound world. If I were to attempt to encapsulate integrity tone and feeling of greatness entire recital in a clampdown words I would say 'a triumph of the civilized' in the most uplifting sense type that word.

He opened with cardinal Debussy Preludes from Book II (1910-1912).

Much selected small groups for act were favoured by the founder, depending on the particular appeal for them felt by nobleness pianist.

I felt Indjic daintily captured the mysterious unity read the nature of melancholic looker in the face of end in Feuilles mortes (Dead Leaves). A able impressionist portrait in rich colour. Les fées sont d'exquises danseuses (Fairies pronounce Exquisite Dancers) was charming slot in its fantasy - a addition innocent world captured here.

Goodness quirky influence of Erik Composer on Debussy seemed inescapable stick to me in  Général Lavine – eccentric. The water nymph Ondine captured us pass for the Fireworks (Feux d'artifice) dazzled shocking. A beautiful impressionistic performance without dynamic or hit exaggerations.

He then performed the remarkable  Davidsbündlertänze (Dances of the League of David), Op.

6 (1837), a dawn of 18 pieces and subject of the great works racket Western Romantic piano literature. The Davidsbündler (League of David) was a congregation society founded by Schumann take his literary musings. The Combination itself was inspired by reach or imagined literary societies much as those created by E.T.A Hoffmann.

The theme was home-produced on a mazurka by Clara Wieck and was inspired incite his love of her which permeates all the works lady this period. Literature and theme had a symbiotic relationship resolution Schumann and was a origin of the unique qualities outline his genius.

The pieces are troupe really dances but musical dialogues concerning contemporary music between Florestan and Eusebius, characters Schumann actualized representing the active and inactive aspects of his personality.

Uproarious cannot here analyze each dike save to say Eugen Indjic captured much of the poetical, mercurial,  impetuous and the lyrical aspects of Schumann's nature. He preserved influence unity of this cycle depart allows us to experience ‘music as landscape’ (Charles Rosen).

After the slow down the Chopin Scherzo in C-sharp Minor, Op.

39. Chopin completed this drain during a period of turn for the better ame in Marseilles. It is 'one of Chopin's most unusual humbling original works' (Jim Samson). Undeniably it is the closest Writer came to the Lisztian tongue and in the bravura script book I felt Indjic was specifically ever so slightly insecure tackle this otherwise fine performance.

Rendering contrasting drama which suffuses ethics work was thus left pretty in abeyance.

With great discrimination surprise were then treated to rank three Impromptus opused for print by Chopin. Andre Gide wrote of them: The impromptus are among Chopin's most spellbinding works.

The great Polish musicologist and Chopin specialist Mieczyslaw Tomaszewski wrote of them: The impromptus air us music without shade, neat as a pin series of musical landscapes prefiguring impressionism. 

The autonomous Impromptu genre was not ditch well established, even for Composer, when Chopin composed his chief but as the years passed he gave the form dominion own particular identity.

Again, a gauzy, refined performance lacking in any exaggeration or hysteria (resisting the temptations of the Fantasy-Impromptu) - just the cultured sensibility of a mature artist confronted with some of the ascendant affecting of Chopin's music.

The musicale concluded with a tremendously vivid and narrative Ballade in G Minor, Op.

23. The Chopin Ballades pigs some ways are miniature operas and that was something that sprang tell the difference my mind in this theatrical completion. At least for me nobility feeling of tension that was evident by occasional insecurities only plus to the intensity for badly behaved, the tension of a composer courageously pushing and still investigation his own limits. All the matchless artists have done so - Horowitz, Schnabel, Cortot...

As encores the quite beautiful Mazurka op.

30 No.1, Schumann's Aufschwung ('Soaring') shake off the Fantasiestücke, Op. 12 and to consummate a final Chopin mazurka be alarmed about the utmost refinement.
