Emmanuel Axe

Emuva maphakathi nawo-70, umculi osemusha wahlala engaziwa ngokuphelele emphakathini, nakuba wazama ngazo zonke izindlela ukuze adonsele ukunaka kuye. U-Ax uchithe iminyaka yakhe yokuqala edolobheni laseCanada iWinnipeg, lapho uthisha wakhe omkhulu kwakungumculi wasePoland uMieczysław Muntz, owayengumfundi waseBusoni. “Izilinganiso” zokuqala zokuncintisana zazidumaza: emiqhudelwaneni emikhulu yamazwe ngamazwe eyaqanjwa ngo-Chopin (1970), u-Vian da Mota (1971) no-Queen Elizabeth (1972), u-Aks akazange afinyelele inani labahlomuli. Yiqiniso, wakwazi ukunikeza amakhonsathi amaningi e-solo eNew York (kuhlanganise ne-Lincoln Center), ukuba abe ngumsizi we-violinist odumile uNathan Milstein, kodwa umphakathi nabagxeki bamshaya indiva ngenkani.

Ushintsho kumlando womdlali wopiyano osemncane kwaba uMqhudelwano Wamazwe Ngamazwe ka-Arthur Rubinstein (1975): wadlala kahle kakhulu i-Brahms Concertos (D encane) kanye no-Beethoven (No. Ngemva konyaka, i-Ax yangena esikhundleni sika-K. Arrau ogulayo eMkhosini wase-Edinburgh futhi ngemva kwalokho waqala ukunqoba ngokushesha izigaba zekhonsathi zaseYurophu naseMelika.

Namuhla sekunzima ukubala wonke amahholo amakhonsathi amakhulu lo mculi abecula kuwo, ukubiza amagama abaqhubi asebenzisana nabo. “U-Emmanuel Ax usevele esendaweni evelele phakathi kwabashayi bopiyano abambalwa abaphawuleka ngempela abadlala esiteji,” kubhala umgxeki oyiNgisi uBruce Morrison. “Enye yezimfihlo zobuciko bakhe ikhono lokuthola umoya owandisiwe webinzana, elihlanganiswe nokuguquguquka okuhle nokucashile kwemibala yomsindo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, une-rubato yemvelo engavamile, engabonakali.

Omunye uchwepheshe wepiyano wesiNgisi ovelele, u-E. Orga, waphawula umuzwa omuhle kakhulu womdlali wopiyano, isitayela, nokuba khona njalo kohlelo lokusebenza olucacile, olucabangelayo ekudlaleni kwakhe. “Ukuba nobuntu obuphawuleka ngokushesha kangaka kuyimfanelo eyivelakancane nebalulekile esemncane kangaka. Mhlawumbe lokhu akukabi umculi ophelile ngokuphelele, owakhiwe, usenokuningi okufanele akucabange ngokujulile nangokujulile, kodwa kukho konke lokho, ithalenta lakhe liyamangalisa futhi lithembisa kakhulu. Kuze kube manje, lo mhlawumbe ungomunye wabadlali bopiyano abahamba phambili esizukulwaneni sakhe.”

Amathemba afakwe ku-Ax ngabagxeki awasekelwe nje kuphela ethalenteni lakhe lomculo, kodwa futhi nasebucayini obusobala bokusesha kwakhe kobuciko. I-repertoire yomdlali wopiyano ehlala ikhula igxile emculweni wekhulu lesi-XNUMX; impumelelo yakhe ihlotshaniswa nokuchazwa kwemisebenzi kaMozart, Chopin, Beethoven, futhi lokhu kakade kusho okuningi. UChopin noBeethoven nabo bazinikele kumadiski akhe okuqala, nawo athola ukubuyekezwa okuhle kwabagxeki. Futhi alandelwa ukurekhodwa kwenganekwane ka-Schubert-Liszt ethi The Wanderer, Ikhonsathi Yesibili ka-Rachmaninov, Ikhonsathi Yesithathu ka-Bartok, ne-Quintet ka-Dvorak ethi A Major. Lokhu kuqinisekisa kuphela ububanzi bebanga lokuqamba lomculi.
