Podcast appearances and mentions of Kirill Gerstein

Kirill Gerstein is called one of the most outstanding pianists of our time. The Gilmour Prize, which he has won twice, is awarded exclusively to brilliant pianists for their deep musicality and charisma. As part of Musica Viva's Australian tour, pianist Kirill Gerstein plays a new and varied solo program. - Кирилла Герштейна называют одним из самых выдающихся пианистов современности. Достаточно сказать, что Премия Гилмора, которой он был удостоен дважды, присуждается исключительно гениальным пианистам, за глубокую музыкальность и харизму. В рамках австралийского турне Musica Viva пианист Кирилл Герштейн играет новую и разнообразную сольную программу.

Kirill Gerstein's new album, timed for release mid-way between the anniversary of the death of Claude Debussy (March 25) and Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day (April 24), pairs music by Debussy and the Armenian, Komitas. Both composers were profoundly affected by the death and destruction surrounding them during the First World War, and both responded with music of multi-layered intensity. Gerstein links late Debussy piano music with Komitas's piano works, as well as songs by each composer. 'Music in the Time of War' is released to stream and download by Platoon, and on two CDs with a substantial book of essays next month by Myrios. James Jolly spoke to Kirill Gerstein to learn about the project and why he brought together these two powerful musical voices in the same programme. This Gramophone Podcast is produced in association with Wigmore Hall.

Dieser Tage spielt Kirill Gerstein in Wien Bartóks Drittes Klavierkonzert, das letzte vollende Werk des ungarischen Komponisten, 1944 im amerikanischen Exil geschaffen. Da zählte Bartók bereits zu den „Klassikern der Moderne“. Begonnen hat er stilecht mit einer Rhapsodie im Gefolge von Franz Liszt, dann war er radikaler Avantgardist und zwischendurch auch Volksmusikforscher – und in jeder Phase hat er ein Klavierkonzert komponiert: Wilhelm Sinkovicz unternimmt im Musiksalon diesmal eine akustische Bartók-Zeitreise.

The Gramophone Award-winning pianist Kirill Gerstein has recorded Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto with the Berliner Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko: it forms part of a twinned release, 'Rachmaninoff 150', from Platoon. James Jolly met up with Gerstein a couple of months ago in London to talk about playing the music of a composer who left us two recordings of the concerto as well as being one of the greatest pianists ever to have lived.

The internationally-renowned artist Ai Weiwei explores the origins of his creativity and political beliefs through his own life story and that of his father. In 1000 Years of Joys and Sorrows, translated by Alan H. Barr, he looks back at the blighted life of his father Ai Qing, once China's most celebrated poet before he was banished during the Cultural Revolution. Ai Weiwei tells Tom Sutcliffe about his own journey to becoming an artist and how his work has been shaped by living under a totalitarian regime. The Professor of Political Theory, Lea Ypi, understands only too well growing up in a repressive Communist state – she was born in Albania, the last Stalinist outpost in Europe. In her memoir, Free: Coming of Age at the End of History she describes how the isolated world of her childhood was swept away. But also how the promised freedoms after the fall of the Berlin Wall quickly turned sour. The pianist Kirill Gerstein was born in the former Soviet Union, but is now an American citizen based in Berlin. His career and musical heritage is similarly international, and he plays all around the world. Gerstein considers what creative freedom has meant to some of his favourite composers – from Viktor Ullmann to Shostakovich – who produced great art during times of intense political upheaval.

Vom Sorgenkind zum Star! Klavierspielen ist schon mit zwei Händen nicht leicht. Aber nur die Linke zu benutzen, ist ein Kraftakt. Zumindest für rechtshändige Pianisten. In Maurice Ravels Klavierkonzert für die linke Hand aber spielt sie die Hauptrolle. Denn Ravel hat sie für den Wiener Pianisten Paul Wittgenstein komponiert. Das hat seinen Grund.

Wenn von ungarischen Pianisten die Rede ist – etwa von András Schiff, Zoltán Kocsis oder Deszö Ránki –, dann liest man immer wieder einen Namen: Ferenc Rados. Bei ihm, dem bedeutenden Pädagogen, haben sie alle in Budapest studiert, und sie haben seinen legendären Ruf in die Welt getragen. Nur: Wie spielte eigentlich der Meister selbst? Seinem Schüler Kirill Gerstein ist es gelungen, Rados zu einer Einspielung zweier Mozart-Sonaten für Klavier zu vier Händen zu überreden, die gerade bei Myrios Classics erschienen ist.

Pianist Kirill Gerstein chooses the conductor and composer Ferruccio Busoni. Matthew Parris presents.
