Description:

The 100th anniversary of Buzoni's death reveals once again his great achievement. The year 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of Ferruccio Busoni's death at the age of 58 on July 27, 1924. From the late 19th to the early 20th century, Busoni was active in a wide range of fields as a composer, pianist, educator, and author of "The New Aesthetic Theory of Music," but his most widely known achievement today is his arrangement and revision of J.S. Bach's works, such as "Chaconne. It is no exaggeration to say that his most widely known contemporary achievement is his arrangement and revision of J.S. Bach's works such as "Chaconne.In 1997, Lee Yoon-soo won the highest prize at the Busoni International Piano Competition as a teenager, and was highly acclaimed by Swiss composer Rolf Liebermann (1910-1999), who was the president of the jury at the time. The Korean-born, Argentinean- and U.S.-raised pianist Lee Yoon-soo, who was awarded the Audience Award, the Yamaha Prize, and the Rotaract Award for the youngest prize winner, will focus on Bach's greatest achievement, his arrangements of works by Busoni, with whom he is closely related, to mark the 100th anniversary of his death. The project to record all of Bach's "Come, O Savior of the Gentiles," "Chaconne," and "Goltberg Variations" in Busoni's arrangement was born. Busoni's arrangement of the "Gortberg Variations," one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of music, is a daring undertaking. It is said that he made this decision not in the Baroque era, but in order for this masterpiece to shine most brightly in the concert halls of his time.The Busoni arrangement is annotated with a note that reads, "For concert performance, go to Variation 0," and by following this instruction, the entire picture of the "Golberg Variations," which Busoni updated for the classical scene of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, can be seen. In addition to the changes in ornaments and dynamics, and the omission of repeats, Lee Yoon-soo has also respected Busoni's great concern for the "grouping of variations," and has not divided all the arias and variations into separate tracks, but has instead divided the arias, Group 1 (Variation 1 to 10), Group 2 (Variation 11 to 17), Group 3 (Variation 17), Group 4 (Variation 18 to 20), Group 5 (Variation 19), and Group 6 (Variation 20) into three separate groups, each grouped according to its own style and style of music. ), and Group 3 (Variations 18 through 20), thereby giving this timeless collaboration with the great Italian composer a stunning appearance. Lee Yoon-soo is currently based in Seoul and Jeju Island to engage in a different style of musical activity than the Korean pianists who have been making their mark on the international piano scene in recent years.In this Bach-Busoni project "Memoria", you will be able to feel the pianism of Lee Yoon-soo and the sound of Bach's masterpieces in concert of that time as envisioned by Busoni!
