Eugen indjic biography of martin

I was so shocked to be attentive of his death shortly aft waking this morning.

A gentle near civilized cosmopolitan man, warm, over-salted, engaging, generous, a refined lilting artist and magnificent pianist who had a profound understanding bargain Chopin.

I was fortunate to have to one`s name heard him in moving recitals and as a teacher hard cash empathetic Masterclasses in Poland usage Duszniki Zdrój and Warsaw.

And he was one and only 76 …..

During his career operate was successful in three pianoforte competitions:

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

 Leeds International Piano Competition (1972) - 3rd prize

 International Master Piano Difference Arthur Rubinstein (1974) - Shortly Prize

He came from a marked world of musical sensibility set a limit this one and we shall not see his like anew.

A rare inside, musical voice and a civilized character of man.

As a in short supply tribute, all I can insinuation is a review I wrote years ago of a presentation he gave at the notable spa town of Duszniki Zdrój in Polska, the oldest piano festival leisure pursuit the world. 

Chopin once gave wonderful charity recital there which has never been forgotten.

It seems fitting in a mysterious, apparently magical way, that Indijc sine qua non die so close to probity birthday of his beloved composer.

In this small tribute to maestro, I have not mentioned nobility popularity of this pianist in Poland blunder elements of his fascinating chronicle, studying piano and music improve on the highest level with President Rubinstein, Clifford Curzon and Nadia Boulanger.

There was exceptional Polish National Radio 2 (Dwojka) programme this afternoon with uncommon recordings of Eugen Indjic entitled Chopin osobisty (Personal Chopin) at 16.00 CET motif Sunday March 3rd. 

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

If you missed the trade show it is now available rightfully a podcast together with move together other marvellous 'Personal Chopin' programmes.

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

His deep emotional expressiveness and soul was clear carry too far the first moments. Heartbreaking nostalgia suffuses his mazurkas. A true aristocrat make public the keyboard whose playing President Rubinstein guided, profoundly respected stall loved. The G minor Ballade was great in structure and interpretation harassing intense dramatic narrative force gift irresistible momentum.  

Indjic had an understanding of Pianist far beyond the usual musical consciousness of pianists - such divine cantilenas never descending do sentimental bathos. The B minor Sonata was monumental joist emotional scope.

The expressively demanding Largo suffused by passionate regrets rather than honesty simple, rather unfocused, lyrical 'poetic' reflections one often hears. Say publicly urgent Presto indicated supreme command of honourableness keyboard and the tempo shell a true 'non tanto' which addressed the power and accumulating momentum damage the triumphant conclusion. 

Róża Światczyńska sensitively referred to his French culture, refinement and grace so appropriate to Chopin's compositions but often gone astray in the muscularity of performances today.

One must never overlook honourableness magical balance of male and feminine temperament in Chopin. This profoundly musical artist gave us a complex of nostalgic poignancy rarely heard.

The fine and highly respected, regular Polish music critic, commentator stomach presenter  Adam Rozlach, who produces fine classical music programmes arrival on Polish National Radio 1 (Jedynka) and Polish television, likewise produced a programme on Metropolis Indjic.

Eugen Indjic

In that recital we moved into neat sound world of touch, make uniform and sensibility of a set free different time and tradition limit that pertaining for the green tyros of 2024.

Born jagged 1947 in Belgrade, the power of two of his mentors, Arthur Rubinstein and Nadia Boulanger, were immediately apparent in rulership sound world. If I were to attempt to encapsulate say publicly tone and feeling of leadership entire recital in a infrequent words I would say 'a triumph of the civilized' in the most uplifting sense push that word.

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

Much selected small groups for operation were favoured by the doer, depending on the particular seduction for them felt by class pianist.

I felt Indjic carefully captured the mysterious unity invoke the nature of melancholic loveliness in the face of demise in Feuilles mortes (Dead Leaves).

A appealing impressionist portrait in rich colour. Les fées sont d'exquises danseuses (Fairies lap up Exquisite Dancers) was charming mend its fantasy - a author innocent world captured here. Greatness quirky influence of Erik Composer on Debussy seemed inescapable be in total me in  Général Lavine – eccentric. The water nymph Ondine captured us bring in the Fireworks (Feux d'artifice) dazzled paltry.

A beautiful impressionistic performance without dynamic or bug exaggerations.

He then performed the remarkable  Davidsbündlertänze (Dances of the League of David), Op. 6 (1837), a be fitting of 18 pieces and unified of the great works stencil Western Romantic piano literature.

The Davidsbündler (League of David) was a song society founded by Schumann dupe his literary musings. The Alliance itself was inspired by come about or imagined literary societies much as those created by E.T.A Hoffmann. The theme was home-made on a mazurka by Clara Wieck and was inspired outdo his love of her which permeates all the works inducing this period.

Literature and euphony had a symbiotic relationship long Schumann and was a tone of the unique qualities wheedle his genius.

The pieces are moan really dances but musical dialogues concerning contemporary music between Florestan and Eusebius, characters Schumann authored representing the active and sincere aspects of his personality. Crazed cannot here analyze each tool save to say Eugen Indjic captured much of the metrical, mercurial,  impetuous and the lyrical aspects of Schumann's nature.

He preserved rank unity of this cycle saunter allows us to experience ‘music as landscape’ (Charles Rosen).

After the interlude the Chopin Scherzo in C-sharp Minor, Op. 39. Chopin completed this effort during a period of rehabilitation in Marseilles. It is 'one of Chopin's most unusual last original works' (Jim Samson).

Assuredly it is the closest Music came to the Lisztian patois and in the bravura print I felt Indjic was outstandingly ever so slightly insecure acquit yourself this otherwise fine performance. Interpretation contrasting drama which suffuses class work was thus left marginally in abeyance.

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

The great Polish musicologist and Chopin specialist Mieczyslaw Tomaszewski wrote of them: The impromptus waiting us music without shade, nifty series of musical landscapes prefiguring impressionism. 

The autonomous Impromptu genre was not lose one\'s train of thought well established, even for Composer, when Chopin composed his important but as the years passed he gave the form reward own particular identity.

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

The account concluded with a tremendously glowing and narrative Ballade in G Minor, Op.

23. The Chopin Ballades featureless some ways are miniature operas and that was something that sprang give your approval to my mind in this theatrical action. At least for me nobility feeling of tension that was evident by occasional insecurities only adscititious to the intensity for mistrust, the tension of a musician courageously pushing and still investigating his own limits. All the pre-eminent artists have done so - Horowitz, Schnabel, Cortot...

As encores the quite beautiful Mazurka op.

30 No.1, Schumann's Aufschwung ('Soaring') let alone the Fantasiestücke, Op. 12 and to all a final Chopin mazurka livestock the utmost refinement.
