Info for Valentina Lisitsa Plays Philip Glass

Hörte man Valentina Lisitsa vor kurzem noch auf ihrem im November erschienen Album Études mit Stücken von Chopin und Schumann mit „überrennender Verve, Spontaneität und lockerer manueller Souveränität“ (Fono Forum) halsbrecherische technische Meisterleistungen vollbringen, so widmet sich die Pianistin mit ihrem neuen Album Valentina Lisitsa plays Philip Glass nun wieder den ruhigeren, beinahe meditativen Klängen der Minimal Music.

Lisitsa zeigte bereits im vergangenen Jahr ihre Leidenschaft für diesen Stil, als sie ihr Album Chasing Pianos dem Jubilar Michael Nyman widmete. Sie versteht es, den einprägsamen mantrischen Melodien eine Seele zu schenken.

Auch bei Glass hat Lisitsa wieder in bekannter Manier aus dem Vollen geschöpft und so entstand erstmals sogar ein Doppel-Album mit den wichtigsten Stücken für Solo-Klavier von Philip Glass, der mit seinem persönlichen Stil des Minimalismus zu einem der einflussreichsten Komponisten unserer Zeit wurde.

Auf dem Album sind unter anderem Ausschnitte aus dem weltbekannten Soundtrack zu dem mit dem BAFTA-Award (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) ausgezeichneten Film “The Hours” von Stephen Daldry zu hören. Daneben ist ein weiteres Schlüsselwerk des Albums die 30-minütige Komposition „How Now“, ein Frühwerk von Philip Glass.

Die in der Ukraine geborene Pianistin erlangte weltweite Aufmerksamkeit durch ihren 2007 gestarteten YouTube-Channel mit eigenen Aufnahmen, die inzwischen mehr als 83 Millionen Mal angeklickt worden sind. Diesen Erfolg wusste Lisitsa in eine Live-Karriere auf den größten Bühnen in Europa, Asien und Amerika umzusetzen.

Valentina Lisitsa, Klavier


Valentina Lisitsa
With her multi-faceted playing described as “dazzling”, Valentina Lisitsa is at ease in a vast repertoire ranging from Bach and Mozart to Shostakovich and Bernstein. Her orchestral repertoire alone includes more than forty concerti. She admits to having a special affinity for the music of Rachmaninoff and Beethoven and continues to add to her vast repertoire each season.

Valentina Lisitsa was born in Kiev, Ukraine and began playing the piano at the age of three, performing her first solo recital a year later. She gained a place at the Lysenko Music School for Gifted Children and later studied at the Kiev Conservatory under Ludmilla Tsvierko. In 1991 she won the first prize in The Murray Dranoff Two Piano Competition together with Alexei Kuznetsoff. She now resides in the USA.

With more than 30 million YouTube channel views, Valentina Lisitsa is one of the most watched classical musicians on the Web, using digital innovation to champion classical music and performance. She has performed in venues around the world, including Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, and the Musikverein. In May 2010, Valentina Lisitsa performed the Dutch premiere of Rachmaninoff’s “New 5th” Concerto in her debut with the Rotterdam Philharmonic, and in August 2011 made her debut with the Orchestra Sinfonica Brasileira under the baton of Maestro Lorin Maazel.

Valentina Lisitsa has recorded three independently-released DVDs, including her best-selling set of Chopin’s 24 Etudes. Her recording of the 4 sonatas for violin and piano by composer Charles Ives, made with Hahn, was released in October 2011. In addition, Ms. Lisitsa has recently completed recordings of the complete concerti of Rachmaninoff and Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini with the London Symphony Orchestra under conductor Michael Francis.

Her 11-12 season features debut performances with the Helsinki Philharmonic, the Colorado Symphony and recitals at Ravinia, Festival of the Arts Boca, Teatro de Colon in Buenos Aires and the Casals Festival, chamber engagements, and a solo recital in June 2012 at the Royal Albert Hall, London

Valentina Lisitsa records exclusively for Decca Classics.
