Guinjoan Early Piano Works

El Pinell de Dalt

14,95€

In this work, Alfonso Calderón de Castro sets himself up as an interpreter in the Greco-Latin sense of the term: one destined to reveal what re- mains hidden. It does so by revealing hidden aspects of Guinjoan’s piano literature, allowing us to take these early works as microcosms of his entire catalogue. His piano navigates with personality and aesthetic intelligence, embodying the composer’s motto, that is the instrumental humanisation from the subtle exploration of all parameters, without forgetting the communications among composer, performer and listener. In short, the pianist gives us in this work an an- thology destined to the timelessness of what it is classical, capable of withstanding the passage of time with the elegance of a caryatid.

Descripción

Alfonso Calderón de Castro

He was born in Malaga in 1970 where at a very early age he began studying music with his mother’s encouragement who was also his piano teacher as well as with Stéphanie Cambrier (who was Alfred Cortot and Edwin Fisher’s student). He nished his studies in the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Sevilla with the pianist Ana Guijarro. After nishing his training in the Conservatory he moved to Frei- bourg im Breisgau in Germany where he received improvement lessons with Professor Tibor Szasz. Later, he was a resident in Cité Internationale Universitarie in Paris where he perfected his technique with the maestros Jorge Chamine and Marie-Françoise Bucquet. Concurrently, he has attended courses and master classes in Spain as well as abroad with pianists such as Elza Kolodin, Lilya Zilberstein, Vitali Margulis, Rudolf Kehrer, Asir Rosemberg, Stephanie Cambier and Joaquím Achúcarro. In 2003, he was chosen by Juventudes Musicales de Andalucia to perform a concert tour in that Autonomous Community that marks the beginning of an international career which in- cludes concerts in Switzerland, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Poland and Norway. Here, we could highlight his participation in July 2007 in the festival CIMA in Tuscany (Concerti in Monti Argentario) to commemorate 250th anniversary of Domenico Scarlatti’s death. He was awarded with Interpretation Prize in 2007 given by Asso- ciation of the Collège d ́Espagne in Paris, which implied to record a CD edited by INAEM. His quality as pianist has been de ned by El Mundo musical critic Justo Romero with the following words: Pianist gifted with powerful resources which are captured in his exultant versions that are full of energy and convincing authority, whose virtues match with his hypervirtuosity; who is an experi- enced, brilliant, solid trained artist. He has been teacher in the Conservatorio Profesional de Música de Fuengirola, Conservatorio Superior de Música de Málaga and Sevilla. Currently, he is teaching piano in the Conservatorio Profesional de Música “Manuel de Carra” in Malaga, he is also the guest teacher in Curso Internazionali di Perfezionamento e di interpretazione Musicale “Musica e Arte” in Tolentino, Italy. Throughout his career, he has shown special interest in 20th and 21st century music for piano that has led him to perform works by Schönberg, Webern, Stavinsky and Stockhausen among many others.
