John Lill

UJohn Lill ukhuphukele esinyathelweni esiphezulu senkundla eMqhudelwaneni we-IV International Tchaikovsky eMoscow ngo-1970 kanye noVladimir Krainev, eshiya ngemuva abadlali bopiyano abanesiphiwo futhi ngaphandle kokudala ukungaboni ngaso linye okukhethekile phakathi kwamalungu ejaji, noma izingxabano zendabuko phakathi kwamajaji nomphakathi. . Konke kwakubonakala kungokwemvelo; naphezu kweminyaka yakhe engu-25, kakade wayeseyinkosi evuthiwe, egxile kakhulu. Kwaba yilo mbono wokuthi ukudlala kwakhe ngokuzethemba kwashiya, futhi ukukuqinisekisa, kwanele ukubuka incwajana yokuncintisana, eyabika, ikakhulukazi, ukuthi uJohn Lill une-repertoire enhle ngempela - izinhlelo ezingu-45 eziyedwa kanye namakhonsathi angaba ngu-45 ane-orchestra. . Ngaphezu kwalokho, umuntu wayengafunda lapho ukuthi ngesikhathi somncintiswano wayengaseyena umfundi, kodwa uthisha, ngisho noprofesa. I-Royal College of Music. Kwaba okungalindelekile, mhlawumbe, kuphela ukuthi umculi wesiNgisi wayengakaze azame isandla sakhe emincintiswaneni ngaphambili. Kodwa wancamela ukunquma isiphetho sakhe “ngegalelo elilodwa” - futhi njengoba wonke umuntu wayeqiniseka, akazange enze iphutha.

Kukho konke lokho, uJohn Lill akafikanga ekunqobeni eMoscow ngomgwaqo obushelelezi. Wazalelwa emndenini wabasebenzi, wakhulela endaweni engaphansi kweLondon e-East End (lapho uyise ayesebenza khona efektri) futhi, ngemva kokubonisa ithalente lomculo esemncane, isikhathi eside wayengenayo ngisho nensimbi yakhe. . Ukuthuthukiswa kwethalenta lensizwa enenjongo, nokho, kwaqhubeka ngokushesha okukhulu. Lapho eneminyaka engu-9, wadlala ne-orchestra okokuqala, edlala i-Second Concerto of Brahms (akuwona neze umsebenzi "wezingane"!), Lapho eneminyaka engu-14, wayazi cishe yonke i-Beethoven ngekhanda. Iminyaka yokufunda eRoyal College of Music (1955-1965) yamlethela ukuhlukaniswa okuningi okuhlukene, okuhlanganisa indondo ye-D. Lipatti kanye ne-Gulbenkian Foundation Scholarship. Uthisha onokuhlangenwe nakho, inhloko yenhlangano ethi "Musical Youth" uRobert Mayer wamsiza kakhulu.

Ngo-1963, umdlali wopiyano wenza umdlalo wakhe wokuqala ngokusemthethweni eRoyal Festival Hall: Ikhonsathi yesihlanu kaBeethoven yenziwa. Kodwa-ke, lapho nje ephothula ekolishi, uLill waphoqeleka ukuba anikele isikhathi esiningi ezifundweni zangasese - kwakudingeka athole imali; ngokushesha wathola ikilasi esikoleni sakhe sokufunda. Kancane kancane waqala ukunikeza amakhonsathi ngentshiseko, okokuqala ekhaya, bese e-USA, Canada kanye namazwe amaningi aseYurophu. Omunye wabokuqala ukwazisa ithalente lakhe kwakunguDmitri Shostakovich, owezwa uLill edlala eVienna ngo-1967. Futhi eminyakeni emithathu kamuva uMayer wamncenga ukuba abambe iqhaza emqhudelwaneni waseMoscow ...

Ngakho impumelelo yayiphelele. Kodwa nokho, lapho emukelwa umphakathi waseMoscow, kwakukhona ukwesaba okuthile: akazange abangele injabulo enomsindo kangangokuthi injabulo yothando kaCliburn, imvelaphi emangalisayo ka-Ogdon, noma ubuhle bobusha obuvela ku-G. I-Sokolov yayibangele ngaphambili. Yebo, yonke into yayilungile, yonke into yayisendaweni, "kodwa into ethile, uhlobo oluthile lwe-zest, yayingekho. Lokhu futhi kwaqashelwa ochwepheshe abaningi, ikakhulukazi lapho isasasa lokuncintisana lidamba futhi owinile waya ohambweni lwakhe lokuqala lokuzungeza izwe lethu. Isazi esihle sokudlala upiyano, umgxeki nomdlali wopiyano u-P. Pechersky, ohlonipha ikhono lika-Lill, ukucaca kwemibono yakhe nokudlala kalula, waphawula: “Umdlali wopiyano “ akasebenzi ” ngokomzimba noma (maye!) ngokomzwelo. Futhi uma eyokuqala inqoba futhi ijabulisa, khona-ke eyesibili iyakudikibalisa ... Noma kunjalo, kubonakala sengathi ukunqoba okuyinhloko kukaJohn Lill kusazofika, lapho ekwazi ukwengeza imfudumalo eyengeziwe ekhonweni lakhe elihlakaniphile nelicikisiwe, futhi uma kunesidingo - nokushisa.

Lo mbono usuwonke (ngemibala ehlukahlukene) wabelwa abagxeki abaningi. Phakathi kokufaneleka komdwebi, ababuyekezi bathi "impilo yengqondo", imvelo yenjabulo yokudala, ubuqotho benkulumo yomculo, ibhalansi evumelanayo, "ithoni enkulu yomdlalo." Yilezi zibongo esizohlangana nazo uma sibheka ukubuyekezwa kwemidlalo yakhe. “Ngaphinde ngahlatshwa umxhwele ikhono lomculi osemusha,” kubhala umagazini i-Musical Life ngemva kokuba uLill enze i-Third Concerto kaProkofiev. “Kumanje indlela yakhe yokuzethemba iyakwazi ukuletha ubumnandi bobuciko. Futhi ama-octave anamandla, kanye nokugxuma “kobuqhawe,” namaphaseji opiyano abonakala angenasisindo ...

Sekudlule cishe iminyaka engamashumi amathathu kusukela lapho. Yini ephawulekayo ngale minyaka kuJohn Lill, yiziphi izinto ezintsha abazilethe kubuciko bomculi? Ngaphandle, yonke into iyaqhubeka nokuthuthuka ngokuphepha. Ukunqoba emncintiswaneni kwamvulela iminyango yesiteji sekhonsathi kakhulu: uvakashela kakhulu, wabhala cishe wonke ama-sonatas kaBeethoven kanye nenqwaba yeminye imisebenzi kumarekhodi. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, empeleni, isikhathi asingezanga izici ezintsha kusithombe esijwayelekile sikaJohn Lill. Cha, ikhono lakhe alikakapheli. Njengangaphambili, eminyakeni eminingi edlule, umshini wokunyathelisa ukhokha intela "kumsindo wakhe oyindilinga nocebile", ukunambitheka okuqinile, isimo sengqondo sokucophelela embhalweni womlobi (kunalokho, kodwa, encwadini yawo kunomoya wayo). U-Lill, ikakhulukazi, akalokothi asike futhi enze konke ukuphindaphinda, njengoba kunqunywe umqambi, ungaphandle kwesifiso sokusebenzisa imiphumela eshibhile, edlala izethameli.

“Njengoba umculo wakhe ungewona nje umfanekiso wobuhle, awugcini nje ngokukhanga umuzwa futhi hhayi nje ukuzijabulisa, kodwa futhi ukuveza iqiniso, uphatha umsebenzi wakhe njengomfanekiso waleli qiniso ngaphandle kokuyekethisa ukunambitheka okushibhile, ngaphandle kwemikhuba ekhangayo. noma yiluphi uhlobo.” wabhala iphephabhuku elithi Record and Recording, ligubha iminyaka engu-25 yomsebenzi wokudala weciko ngezinsuku lapho eba neminyaka engama-35!

Kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo, umqondo ovamile uvame ukuphenduka ube nengqondo, futhi "upiyano lwebhizinisi" olunjalo alutholi impendulo efudumele ezilalelini. “Akawuvumeli umculo usondele kuye kunalokho acabanga ukuthi wamukelekile; uhlala enaye, kuzo zonke izimo kuwena,” kusho omunye wezibukeli zamaNgisi. Ngisho nasezibuyekezweni zomunye "izinombolo zomqhele" womculi - Ikhonsathi yesihlanu kaBeethoven, umuntu angathola izincazelo ezinjalo: "ngesibindi, kodwa ngaphandle komcabango", "okungenangqondo ngokudumazayo", "akugculisi futhi kuyisicefe ngokungananazi". Omunye wabagxeki, ngaphandle kokuhlekisa, wabhala ukuthi “Umdlalo kaLill ucishe ufane nendatshana ebhalwe uthisha wesikole: yonke into ibonakala ilungile, icatshangelwe kahle, isesimweni, kodwa ayinakho lokho kuzenzakalela kanye nalokho kundiza. , ngaphandle kwalokho ubuciko obungenakwenzeka, kanye nobuqotho ezingxenyeni ezihlukene, ezenziwe kahle. Ezwa ukuntula okuthile ngokomzwelo, isimo sengqondo semvelo, umculi ngezinye izikhathi uzama ukunxephezela lokhu ngokuzenzakalelayo - wethula izici ze-subjectivism ekuchazeni kwakhe, ubhubhisa indwangu ephilayo yomculo, uphikisana naye, njengokungathi. Kodwa izinkambo ezinjalo azinikezi imiphumela oyifunayo. Ngaso leso sikhathi, amarekhodi akamuva kaLill, ikakhulukazi okuqoshiwe kwe-sonatas ka-Beethoven, anikeza isizathu sokukhuluma ngesifiso sokujula kobuciko bakhe, ukuze azwakale kakhulu ngokudlala kwakhe.

Ngakho-ke, umfundi uzobuza, ingabe kusho ukuthi uJohn Lill akazange athethelele isihloko somnqobi woMncintiswano weTchaikovsky okwamanje? Impendulo ayilula kangako. Yebo, lona ungumdlali wepiyano oqinile, ovuthiwe futhi ohlakaniphile ongene esikhathini sokuchuma kwakhe kokudala. Kodwa ukuthuthuka kwayo kulamashumi eminyaka akubanga ngokushesha njengakuqala. Mhlawumbe, isizathu siwukuthi isilinganiso somuntu ngamunye womculi kanye nemvelaphi yakhe akuhambisani ngokugcwele nethalenta lakhe lomculo nepiyano. Noma kunjalo, kusesekuseni kakhulu ukuthi ufinyelele eziphethweni zokugcina - phela, amathuba kaJohn Lill asekude ukuphela.
