This CD represents a significant contribution toward the diffusion of the Piano Concerto no.3 op. 75 posth. and of the Andante and Finale op.79 posth. by Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky. These two masterpieces are the last works for piano and orchestra by the great Russian composer, and have been for long time neglected, despite their beauty and value.

Besides these two works, the CD contains the first world release of the Quadro Sinfonico Concertante for piano and orchestra by Vito Palumbo, one of the most promising Italian composers of last generation.

Echos du Festival de Montpellier

Vendredi 31 juillet 2009 - Aucun commentaire

IMPRIMER | ENVOYER A UN AMI | PUBLIER SUR FACEBOOK | FLUX RSS | REAGIR

Boris Berezowsky est un pianiste que je suis depuis une dizaine d’années environ, puisque, comme

beaucoup de Français, je l’ai découvert avec La Folle Journée de Nantes où il faisait ses premiers concerts dans notre pays. S’il faut aimer ce pianiste,

les bonnes raisons ne manquent pas. D’abord parce qu’il possède des moyens techniques hors du commun ; on a pu le voir — c’était à l’auditorium

du Louvre en début de carrière —, enchaîner le même soir les Variations Goldberg en première partie et les Diabelli en seconde. Il a aussi donné

l’intégrale des Études d’exécution transcendante de Liszt ici à Montpellier, il y a quelques années. On peut jurer que le public s’en souvient encore.

Boris est donc un pianiste qui s’impose par son répertoire mais aussi par son sens du risque. Avec lui, et c’est en fait assez rare chez les musiciens, on

ne sait jamais ce qu’il va se passer. Il a un instinct musical remarquable pour captiver dès les premières notes son auditoire, afin de ne plus le lâcher du

concert. Autoritaire, il impose sa carrure royale et ses idées musicales singulières. Parfois pour le meilleur et même parfois pour le pire (à cause de

certains excès) mais il ne laisse jamais indifférent. S’il fallait le comparer, trouver une image, ce serait celle d’un sportif, un joueur de tennis : Marat

Safin. Comme lui : colossal, inventif et imprévisible. Il a d’ailleurs été colossal hier et avant hier, ici à Montpellier, dans les deux concertos pour piano

de Tchaïkovski, bousculant l’orchestre avec des coups de sang, bousculant aussi l’instrument lors de cadences furieuses, emportées et surtout

maîtrisées, comme si le piano ne suffisait pas à l’athlète. La sonorité était large, les risques certains et l’on ne se lasse pas d’entendre ce romantisme

exacerbé surtout avec un pianiste qui a réussi a galvaniser aussi bien son public que les musiciens de l’orchestre qui l’accompagnait. Un orchestre,

celui d’Ile de France, bien maladroit, bien médiocre.

De Montpellier, son soleil incessant, ses terrasses ombragées, ses rues et maisons lumineuses, j’ai arpenté la ville. Touristes trop nombreux, belle

jeunesse en vacances entre rêve de plage et insouciance sur les trottoirs des cafés.

Le festival de Montpellier joue la carte de la jeunesse et de la modernité en programmant solistes et créateurs dont ce sont les premiers concerts. Les

jeunes créateurs ont donc ici la trop difficile tâche de côtoyer Beethoven, Chopin ou Brahms. Et l’on connaît ce fardeau, on y sent et ressent l’angoisse

: le poids, oh combien douloureux, de notre culture envahissante.
