Biography of Pianist Yudenich

One of the works of the legendary Italian violinist sounds in memory of Vladimir Yudenich, a teacher Zulfiya Bashirova, who has gone untimely in August this year. He was not burdened with official regalia, the only title that he dreamed about was a “slave of the violin”, and everyone who in one way or another came into contact with Yudenich’s work was called him Paganini of Uzbekistan.

The beginning of June 4 in the family of George and Vera Yudenichi was born the long -awaited first -born. The kid was weak and painful. Sinno nights in his cradle and chronic tension caused a severe disease of his mother - faith. She leaves to be treated in Tallinn, and Vova remains in the care of Aunt Nina. The boy at that time is already studying at school - the famous music school.

Uspensky, where he comprehends the basics of playing the violin in class V. To perform on the stage of Vova Yudenich quite early. Much later, in conversations with his students, he often recalled how “he performed the concert of Vivaldi at the age of eight, on the stage in the Great Hall of the school, immediately after the death of his mother.” Aunt Nina and Vladimir Abramovich Belenky became the first mentors - in life and work.

It should be noted that both are outstanding personalities. Nina worked as a driver, but she was a real erudite in all areas of art and virtuoso in her business. With an unthinkable speed, she printed ten fingers and was familiar with the outstanding pianist Vladimir Gorovitsa. The enthusiastic admirer of the Italian Belcanto, Aunt Nina instilled her nephew as a reverent attitude towards Italy and outstanding opera performers.

It was Aunt Nina who brought the boy to a music school and, according to him, thanks to her tireless care, he became a violinist. As for Vladimir Abramovich Belenky - a graduate of the Moscow Conservatory in the violin class - his name remains significant for many generations of the musicians of Uzbekistan. A magnificent teacher, conductor of a school symphonic orchestra, he raised a galaxy of wonderful musicians.

In the classroom of Vladimir Abramovich, nine -year -old Vova Yudenich learned a concert for a violin with the orchestra Dmitry Kabalevsky and performed it with a symphony orchestra under the control of the composer himself. On the famous guest from Moscow, the young soloist made such a strong impression that he left his autograph with wishes at the notes of Vova. And then another meeting happened.

With the person, thanks to which a symbol of virtuoso performance appeared in Vova’s life, is Niccolo Paganini. Mikhail Borisovich is a graduate of the St. Petersburg Conservatory, one of the outstanding violin-virtuosos of the 20th century. It is in his class that for the first time, Yudenich’s serious acquaintance with the work of the legendary Italian virtuoso takes place. And Mikhail Borisovich himself, according to our hero, had the most powerful influence on the formation of his personality.

Mikhail Borisovich was an indisputable authority for him in art. In the lessons, Vladimir Georgievich often quoted his beloved teacher: “You need to be a slap of violin or not to do it at all. The wiser a person, the calmer he is, he is in harmony with himself and it is impossible to angry him. ” Mikhail Borisovich Reason could never be found in a bad mood. Here, Vladimir Georgievich and the students, and himself, first of all, taught to strive for this unattainable ideal.

Somehow Vladimir Yudenich told the case that occurred during the lesson at the Reason. On that day, Mikhail Borisovich was visiting one of the former students and attended this very lesson. Reison pointed to the young Yudenich and said: "Here I gave him Paganini." This work written for the solo violin is one of the most difficult plays by Niccolo Paganini. Concerts, tour, students today the labor biography of professional musicians most often begins during the period of study at the conservatory.

Vladimir Yudenich began working in a symphonic orchestra from the age of 14 - along with adult musicians. At 16 he already taught, earned a living, living in a tiny room without amenities and helping Aunt Nina. As part of the Symphony Orchestra of Uzbekistan, he traveled almost the entire “sixth of the land”. Vladimir Yudenich performed with all the orchestras of Uzbekistan and not only.

Behind his shoulders from above! A simple listing of names of conductors - Uzbekistan and foreign, with which Vladimir Yudenich collaborated - will take more than one page. But there were also concerts of chamber music in which he performed with pianists domestic and not only. It should be noted that, despite the extensive repertoire, the focus of Yudenich has always had one name.

Do I have to call it? It was thanks to Vladimir Yudenich in the fall and spring in Uzbekistan the monographic concerts “Niccolo Paganini” were held, on October 27 - on the birthday of the Italian violinist - and on May 27 - on the day of his eternal reassurance. At first, the solo concerts of Vladimir Georgievich, and then the concerts of the students of his class, were dedicated to these dates.

In the year, Yudenich practically repeated the program from the works of Paganini, executed in the year by his teacher - Mikhail Rezon.That evening, in the first branch, Vladimir Yudenich performed the first concert, introduction and variation on the topic “Di Tanti Palpiti”, “Venetian carnival”, accompanied by the “soloists of Uzbekistan” under the control of Muhamedzhan Tourdyeva.

In the second department, along with a symphony orchestra, under the direction of Vladimir Neumer, “Campanella”, “Witches dance”, introduction and variations on the topic from J. Rossini “Moses in Egypt” were performed. This year, on the occasion of the flight from the birth of Paganini, it was planned to repeat this program - with two students, laureates of international competitions Dinara Sabitova and Zulfiya Bashirova.

Vladimir Georgievich suggested that Dinare perform concerts - the first and second with the famous Campanella, and Zulfiya was preparing plays. But irreparable happened.

The concert will be held by Mark Borisovich Rusak, a wonderful musicologist who graduated from the Assumption music school. Uspensky a year earlier than Vladimir Yudenich. After the concert of the class of Vladimir Yudenich in the Great Hall of the Conservatory. A bow with the conductor E. Dinara Sabitova brilliantly played her concert at the end of September. Despite greater employment in connection with the preparation of a solo concert, Zulfiya Bashirova readily responded to the proposal to give an interview about her teacher.

How did Vladimir Georgievich have? He noted them as something cosmic and distinguished Paganini from all the work of Pagan. He dreamed of performing on stage two cycles for the violin Solo “24 Caprice” and 60 variations on the topic “Barukaba”. He learned whims during training in the classroom at the flight and performed many of them at his performances. But to play them all one evening was his dream, which he, unfortunately, did not realize.

He knew them all by heart, the poster was ready, it remained only to set the date, but natural caution and perfectionism did not allow them to execute them in public. And almost all other opuses were performed by him, accompanied by an orchestra, some many times. Preparations for the execution of whims lasted more than a year. Just then I realized the meaning of the phrase said by Vladimir Neumer with whom he repeatedly performed about Vladimir Georgievich in one interview: “He knows the violin as such, for him there are no secrets in the violin.” And this is true.

Of course, the first thought at the beginning of the analysis of whims was: "I can’t do it." And I consider the entirely and completely merit of Vladimir Georgievich that I fulfilled them. He even once said that I fulfilled his dream ...-For the first time in Central Asia, you fulfilled not only all 24 whims in one evening, but also the Barukab cycle. It is believed that all the “secrets of Paganini”, the secret of his fantastic skill, are hidden in this cycle.

What did Vladimir Georgievich say about this? This work is one of its last opuses, it is written in all the tonalities of the quints and makes it possible to better study the tonality rarely used in works. He called the variations “tasty as sweets”, they are more characteristic than whims, in this regard they were closer to him. But often, listening to modern laureates, recognizing their skill, Vladimir Georgievich still noted that “no Italy”, that is, there is no Italian melody, the spirit of Italy.

What did Vladimir Georgievich say about this? More, of course, loved to find new things in the works that he performed repeatedly, his main task was to find those moments, nuances that no one had noticed before. After some time, returning to the works, performed them each time in a new way. One of his favorite phrases - “we are all from Italy” - has many subtexts, except that the homeland of the violin - Italy, the homeland of the opera is also Italy, and imitate vocals in the game, especially the tenors, was a distinctive feature, a highlight.

Among hundreds of violinists, its sound can be recognized. As one of the conductors about Vladimir Georgievich said, "for him everyone, even complex and virtuoso, was, first of all, a melody." But on the stage, in his opinion, it is necessary to play a role, we must transform, on the stage one cannot be modest. In everything that was interested in, he found idols.

Since childhood, from the violin, he distinguished Yasha Haifets, recognized him with an inaccessible ideal of the violinist. You said that it was interesting to Vladimir Georgievich, you can tell about his hobbies, hobbies? I listened to them for many hours every day from a very young age. He also liked to include the records of one aria performed by different singers and ask the students-who sings and how, who is better, who is worse.

With his children, he even learned words from his beloved Aryans or Neapolitan songs. He had a phenomenal sense of humor. Those who knew him longer and better said that he could make fun of anyone, even if he himself was not joyful at that moment. All the time he invented and carried away his students with various games and all kinds of tournaments. He knew an incredible number of jokes, stories, poems, funny cases from the life of musicians and not only.

Since he was very fond of football since childhood and loved to spend time on a football field, he talked with professional players, athletes. Almost all members of the Pakhtakor football team who died in the plane crash were his friends. He felt himself among them. He could find a common language with almost any person, from small to great. He was happy because it was impossible to find a clavier of these notes on the Internet.
