In today's world music stage, there are two most popular conductors from piano master. When people open the catalogue of major record companies in the world, they will find that many records were recorded by them as piano soloists and command posts. The two star masters are Askin Nazi of the former Soviet Union and Barenboim who was born in Argentina and later moved to Israel. But between the two masters, barenboim should be said to be more inclined to be a conductor. First of all, he started conducting activities as early as his twenties, while the Nazis in Askin officially took over the baton after they moved to the west in their forties. In addition, in the past few years, Askin Nazi has been assiduously honing the art of piano playing as his special project. So strictly speaking, he should be included in the world-famous piano master, so this book does not include him. As a student, Balenbaum studied conducting art as a major, and practiced conducting art extensively in major symphony orchestras around the world. Although he is often active in the world music scene as an excellent pianist, judging from the proportion of his efforts in these two arts, conducting should be his main project. 1975 He was only 33 years old.
The most controversial conductor in some time.
Barenboim is undoubtedly a bright new star in the contemporary world command field, but he is indeed the most controversial conductor in a period of time. Some critics disapprove of his conducting art and even attack him with a lot of harsh words, but more people with a slower tone think that he is more suitable as a conductor than a pianist, but on the whole, barenboim is a competent conductor, even though he exists irretrievably. Musicians in Chicago Symphony Orchestra said clearly, "We believe that the great tradition of this orchestra will be carried forward under the leadership of barenboim, because he is not only a first-class pianist, but also an excellent conductor." In addition, barenboim was attacked for other reasons, such as he was dismissed from the French Bastille Opera House in 1989. There are some political reasons related to the political situation in France at that time. Besides, barenboim is not karajan and Soti after all, so it is very natural that he can't be perfect, but one thing is very certain, that is, as a famous contemporary conductor, his genius ability is very clear, otherwise, he will never become the successor of conductor Soti twice.
Barenboim is a humble and diligent artist. Among the older generation of conductors, he once expressed his preference for Fult Wengler and Barbiroli, and inherited many excellent qualities and styles from them. No matter what people think of him, he is already the music director and permanent conductor of the world-famous super band Chicago Symphony Orchestra. But for his future artistic development and ability, music lovers and sensitive professional media all over the world are watching him optimistically. I believe that this talented new generation conductor will make the world feel gratified by his brilliant achievements.
