Friedrich Gulda: Aria
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- Friedrich Gulda (16 May 1930 - 27 January 2000) was an Austrian pianist and composer who worked in both the classical and jazz fields.
Born in Vienna as the son of a teacher, Gulda began learning to play the piano from Felix Pazofsky at the Wiener Volkskonservatorium, aged 7. In 1942, he entered the Vienna Music Academy, where he studied piano and musical theory under Bruno Seidlhofer and Joseph Marx.
He won first prize at the Geneva International Music Competition in 1946. Initially, the jury preferred the Belgian pianist Lode Backx, but when the final vote was taken, Gulda was the winner. One of the jurors, Eileen Joyce, who favoured Backx, stormed out and claimed the other jurors were unfairly influenced by Gulda's supporters. Gulda began to play concerts worldwide. He made his Carnegie Hall debut in 1950. Together with Jörg Demus and Paul Badura-Skoda, Gulda formed what became known as the "Viennese troika".
Although most famous for his Mozart and Beethoven interpretations, Gulda also performed the music of J. S. Bach (often on clavichord), Schubert, Chopin, Schumann, Debussy and Ravel. His recordings of Bach's Well Tempered Clavier are well regarded by collectors. Apart from the Well Tempered Clavier, Gulda performed very few other pieces by Bach and recorded even fewer. Gulda's later reliance on co-operating with companies whose recording techniques were primitive in comparison to those espoused by more sophisticated rivals stood him in very poor stead with regard to posterity. The rescued Mozart sonata tapes issued on DG are unbelievably bad in terms of recorded technical quality; likewise the Debussy Preludes and Bach recordings of the late 60s and early 70s.
From the 1950s on Gulda cultivated an interest in jazz, writing several songs and instrumental pieces, and at times combining jazz and classical music in his concerts. In 1956, he performed at Birdland in New York City and at the Newport Jazz Festival. He organized the International Competition for Modern Jazz in 1966, and he established the International Musikforum, a school for students who wanted to learn improvisation, in Ossiach, Austria, in 1968. He once said: "There can be no guarantee that I will become a great jazz musician, but at least I shall know that I am doing the right thing. I don't want to fall into the routine of the modern concert pianist's life, nor do I want to ride the cheap triumphs of the Baroque bandwagon."
In jazz, he found "the rhythmic drive, the risk, the absolute contrast to the pale, academic approach I had been taught." He also took up playing the baritone saxophone.
Phillips Records included Gulda in its Great Pianists of the 20th Century CD box set, which came out in 1999. His piano students included Martha Argerich, who called Gulda "my most important influence," and the conductor Claudio Abbado.
He expressed a wish to die on the birthday of Mozart, the composer he most adored, and did so. He died of heart failure at the age of 69 on 27 January 2000 at his home in Weissenbach, Austria. Gulda is buried in the cemetery of Steinbach am Attersee, Austria. He was married twice, first to Paola Loew and then to Yuko Wakiyama. Two of his three sons, Paul and Rico Gulda, one from each of his marriages, are accomplished pianists.

Thanks for listening :-)
Eine wunderschöne Komposition!!!😊
Mr Gulda's compositions never fail to impress me! Wonderful rendition Mr Gamma!👏🏻
Daß Gulda zusammen mit Chick Corea jazzig unterwegs war, wußte ich. Aber solch echt romantische Stücke von ihm sind mir neu. Ganz wunderbar!
At the rate that Gamma is crushing the ornaments, we won't have any left for our Christmas trees.
oooh now this is an edition i am not aware of. thank you for this interpretation! :D
i checked your video indeed ;)
Such beautiful music and sooooo beautifully played … im getting goosebumps
Thank you again xoxoxo
I’m a simple man. I see Friedrich Gulda, I hit thumbs up.
mitico gulda...
Amazingly played!
thanks, i listened to it a couple of times which i normally don't (want to) do
I enjoyed it. Thanks, Julian
Excellent music 🎶🎹
Beautiful performance of a beautiful composition. Is this score available somewhere?
Le plus beau morceau de piano du monde 😀! (at least for me )
♥️:)
Wow, there's some aria in your ornaments there, hahaha. It was a peculiar and pleasant to hear piece tho. Nice interpretation as always!
Nice!
Bellissima
❤💐👏
Of course, it's a very beautiful piece, but how difficult it is to play all these melisms, continuous trills on trills. But this is difficult for an ordinary person, but not for you, Julian.
Hi i have been looking for a printed Version of this music for years! All i could find is a scanned version of Manual script which is really hard to read. Could you share the link of your version per private message to me??? That would be really appreciated!
@@KBREBORN sorry I honestly don't remember anymore where I got that from
Таравердиев любил мелизмы.Невольная аналогия.
Can i have pdf please???
Beautiful piece but not easy to play
◑ 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 ◐
Sounds like the world's most florid arrangement of a 1970's pop ballad - LOL
Look up nina carina, sung by placido domingo.
@@tonygemayel3801 Thank you for mentioning. I found that YT and yes, it is so beautiful and can't be sung better than by Domingo.
i like the melody but the left hand part with the overload of triplets i find extremely boring, unimaginative and just too much.
gulda plays it with more spice. basically he plays the right hand so piercing and loud, that you don't really notice the left hand. in the "mathematical" vst's i have to use , it's much harder to make it sound more convincing
@@PianoScoreVids your recordings sound great, would you mind sharing what hardware/software youre using?
sorry - gulda was a good pianist, but here: all too much, too many notes......
Just as many as needed, your majesty. I love them all. I think it makes a wonderful encore!
