So very sad. The recital above is one of the finest I've heard in an enormously long time: far superior to almost any of the bumper crop of young pianists today who fly from place to place as professional contest-enterers, who have little to recommend them other than robotically note-perfect playing, and a full repertoire of facial expressions and extraneous attention-getting movements that are more expressive than their playing. Wish there were more pianists like Ugorski!
Simply wonderful. Thank you so, so much. While Anatol Ugorski was alive I was too ignorant to know about him - but I do know now. He and his family had a hard life, and oh, what a great musician he was….
Anatoly Ugorsky is one of the best representatives of that Leningrad - Petersburg pianistic school, which Vladimir Sofronitsky, Marina Yudina, and genius Grigory Sokolov belonged to over the years. Even the great Rosalyn Turek was a successor to the old St. Petersburg pianistic tradition abroad (she studied with Sofia Brilliant-Lieven, who was once an Assistant Anton Rubinstein at the St. Petersburg Conservatory). Unfortunately, now this school is in decline and does not bring up comparable performers. Ugrsky taught at the Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) Conservatory for some time. Unfortunately, after leaving for Germany in 1990, he never once performed in his homeland. Sorry for the mistakes, the translation was made by a computer from the Russian original.
Thanks a lot, translation is fine. And what you tell us, is very interesting. Another great pianist, Arcadi Volodos, also grew up in Leningrad / St. Petersburg. Later he studied in Moscow and with Dmitri Bashkirov, who also is from Moscow-school (Goldenweiser), but grew up in Tiflis. I have the impression, the influence from St. Petersburg can still be heard in Volodos' playing. I heard Ugorski live about ten times and he was always great. Unfortunately the last time is about 14 years ago, but after that he played less and less concerts and during the last years I did not find any informations about concerts with him. Students of him told me about some health-problems. Let's hope he will return to stage. He has such a lot to tell, but now is 79 years old. A friend of mine listened to Ugorski's teaching in the german town Luebeck during a masterclass in summer 2018 or 2017. He is a piano-tuner and sometimes worked for Ugorski's concerts and admires his playing very much. He told me, Ugorski still played wonderful during that masterclass ("everything is still there"), but when asked about upcoming concerts, he did not give informations about any plans (sigh). I also love Sokolov, heard him live about six times. Wonderful recitals! And I own CD's of Rosalyn Turek. ;) Best wishes to Russia! :)
Yes, Arkady Volodos is a Leningrad-Petersburger, his father was an opera singer. He has a strange biography: he studied both in St. Petersburg and in Moscow, and at first he studied at the famous Glinka Choir School in St. Petersburg. Only boys are admitted there, starting from the first grade and taught for 12 years in the specialty "choral conducting" (that is, they train choirmasters). This school gives very good training and very many of its graduates easily enter the conservatory, many later become symphonic conductors, and some become vocalists (after all, conducting a choir is associated with choral singing and some students have good singing voices). But Volodos left this school, then studied at the School at the Moscow Conservatory as a pianist and graduated from it. After that I went abroad and trained in Europe, but I never received an official higher education. However, he does not need it, he made a brilliant world career without him. Thank you for your kind wishes!
@@Leonid1969-e8d You're welcome 😉 ... I was taught by a russian pianist from Moscow-school (Igumnov-school) and later was lucky to participate in Ugorski's and Feuchtwanger's masterclasses. Quite an exotic mix, but I love it. ♥️
Thank you for the extra knowledge. Ugorski and his family left Russia because their lives were made utterly miserable there. He wasn’t considered politically “reliable” (whatever that means) and the govt consigned him to an out-of-the-way province to conduct a small choir. In the end his daughter, also a pianist, received anti-Semitic threats, and so they fled Russia and spent years in an East-German refugee camp. Eventually a record company heard him play the Diabelli Variations, wanted to record the work - and from there it was onwards and upwards. In those days Europe was relatively safe for Jewish people. It no longer is.

Weber's Invitation to the dance has a fake end, because after the two fortissimos chords, there are few more bars to play. It is quite a risk play it in public, because it brokes the spell.

That happens when you are way too good to care about mistakes, which only matters when you approach music artificially. After Horowitz, this is the real deal , completely free style, Busoni style...
Dear friends, we lost Anatol Ugorski yesterday. One of the last romantic poets has left us. May he rest in peace. ❤💐

Ich stimme Ihnen völlig zu.
Браво! Рояль поёт! Это великий пианист и музыкант! Как жаль, что его больше нет с нами. Он играет очень поэтично! 👍 🙏🙏
Светлая память великому музыканту и пианисту!!!
Simply wonderful. Thank you so, so much. While Anatol Ugorski was alive I was too ignorant to know about him - but I do know now. He and his family had a hard life, and oh, what a great musician he was….
Потрясающий пианист и музыкант! Много лет назад слышал Анатолия в Питере и Красноярске. Всегда восхищаюсь его искусством!
He just finished three concerts in Taiwan!! I was deeply touched by his Liszt's sonata and Petrouchka...very sophisticated and poetic.
Is there any chance there is a recording? I am so fond of the Liszt Sonata and Ugorski is really unique, so I would like to hear him play it a lot!
Was that four years ago? Probably one of his last public concerts. You can be thankful for this experience.
The Amsterdam scenes - all the people in boats and at windows - are spectacular. Thank you, Holland and especially Amsterdam!! 💕💕
Mit diesem wunderbaren Menschen haben wir einen grossen Verlust zu erleiden.

This is phenomenal. I wish I had the opportunity to see him life.

A poet and a magician!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. The audience gazing is as worthwhile as the playing. Lovely Mendelssohn in particular.
Unbelievable concert - really enjoyable, thank you...
Gros bisous et surtout la musique 🎵 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Unfortunately we don't hear anymore about this genius. Where is he gone???? I really hope he hasn't given up concert live.
Senor Juan what!? He was satisfied with Jeno Jando... even after YOU....."SENOR JUAN" wrote Klaus Hymann at Naxos...??!?? hahahaha

Unbelievable. Thank you.
what a lovely atmosphere!
He seems to know his way around the keyboard...and also the repertoire.
この人が弾くメンデルスゾーンのデュエット、最高です。
Weber's Invitation to the dance has a fake end, because after the two fortissimos chords, there are few more bars to play. It is quite a risk play it in public, because it brokes the spell.
He's coming to Hellas for Beethoven's 5th concerto!!!!!
