Stanislav Ioudenitch and Tchaikovsky's First
Posted by Government 8 years, 4 months ago to Video
From Wikipedia:
Stanislav Ioudenitch (born December 5, 1971 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan), is a Uzbekistani-born American pianist, known for winning the Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Gold Medal at the Eleventh Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2001, as well as the Steven De Groote Memorial Award for Best Performance of Chamber Music. He has also won top prizes at the Busoni, Kapell, and Maria Callas Competitions, as well as at the 1998 Palm Beach Invitational and the 2000 New Orleans International. His win at the Van Cliburn Competition led to a recital debut at the Aspen Music Festival and a European tour, highlighted by appearances at summer festivals in France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
Ioudenitch is the youngest pianist ever invited to give master classes at the International Piano Academy at Lake Como. He is currently associate professor of piano and the artistic director at the International Center for Music at Park University. His students include Behzod Abduraimov.
His version of Tchaikovsky's first at the Van Cliburn Competition is simply the best I've heard. He seems to genuinely enjoy playing and seems to appreciate the piece to a level I have not seen in many.
A short film about his attempt at the Van Cliburn (The last few minutes are really great at suspense):
