Over het programma: Tussen alle historische fortepiano’s kinkt donderdagavond 17 december een ander geluid in de Blauwe Kamer: een KAWAI concertvleugel. Goran Filipec, de briljante leerling van Naum Grubert en van wie een grote toekomst verwacht wordt, geeft een pianorecital met Beethoven, Skriabin, Liszt en een stuk van de hier onbekende Croatische componist Macek, door Goran dit jaar voor Macek’s 100ste geboortejaar op CD uitgebracht.
Over deze CD: “Although Ivo Maček’s works for piano are small in number, they display great stylistic diversity and exquisite musical refinement. There is no doubting the originality of his musical ideas, which are shot through with stylistic glimpses of Scriabin, Ravel, Rachmaninov, Prokofiev and, occasionally, Busoni. This year’s centenary of the composer’s birth has proved a great opportunity to prepare this recording and share the unique experience with other music lovers.” – Goran Filipec
Goran Filipec – piano
Goran Filipec, a pianist with extraordinary charisma and subtle musical intuition, pertains to the group of musicians whose interpretations continue to win the hearts of international audience and critics. “…Powerful and subtle in exact degrees, with an infinite capability of phrasing and poetical deepening in the most tremendous passages, almost ignoring the infinite difficulties of the score, Filipec dedicated himself to making music…” referred Pablo Kohan from the Buenos Aires daily La Nación to his interpretation, while Edith Eisler from New Yorker Concert Review referred to his performance as “…brilliant and refined…”.
