Gavrylyuk Causes Real Piano Spectacle
CLASSICAL MUSIC, Piano Recital
By Mark van der Voort
Alexander Gavrylyuk, Piano Recital, Liedertafel, Tilburg, Aula UvT,
heard on Monday February 15
Young brilliant artists do have a hard time. Full of promise and continually highly thought of. Not everyone is able to stand the pressure. Even a skating hero like Sven Kramer can identify with this. The young Ukrainian pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk is ambitious and extremely talented. Critics and music fans alike praise the 25 year old to the skies, and worldwide fame is preceding him quickly.

РЕЦЕНЗИЯ
на концерт 19 апреля 2010 года
Концертный зал им. П.И. Чайковского
Абонемент №23
Сольный концерт пианиста Александра Гаврилюка – вероятно один из лучших, если не лучший клавирабенд сезона 2009-2010 гг. Это был без преувеличения великолепный концерт. Не часто второй по значимости после Большого зала консерватории концертный зал им. П.И. Чайковского предоставляется для сольного концерта 26-ти летнему пианисту.
А. Гаврилюк привлек мое внимание великолепным исполнением Концерта №23 для фортепиано с оркестром Моцарта 8 февраля 2010 года в этом же зале с оркестром МГФ под управлением Ю. Симонова. И я ожидал, что сольный вечер А. Гаврилюка будет интересным. Но рецензируемый клавирабенд превзошел все ожидания! Мы услышали феерически блестящий концерт, который бывает не во всяком концертном сезоне.

Gavrylyuk Great in Prokofiev’s Piano Concert
Music
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, May 19th
Serge Prokofiev was not only a composer but a great pianist as well. His unconditional way of playing and steel touch were completely new at a time when Romanticism had just ended. Prokofiev demanded the same style of playing from his performers, particularly in his second piano concerto, opus 16. This 4 piece work demands a great deal of accuracy, strength and stamina from the soloist.
Prokofiev himself played his piano concerto for the first time in Amsterdam with the Concertgebouw Orchestra in 1929. It has only been heard occasionally since, because this piece remains an unassailable fortress for a lot of pianists. Even though it opens quietly and evocatively, very quick tempi and powerful dynamics dominate in the four parts.
Eighty years on, this concerto was heard in the Concertgebouw in a performance of which Prokofiev would have been proud: the young Ukrainian Alexander Gavrylyuk, who seemed to possess real strength in spite of his frail build. During the complex cadenza he developed a strength of sound only slightly inferior to the entire Concertgebouw Orchestra playing at full power. He interpreted the perpetuum mobile of part 2 sparklingly. It was only in the finale that he was able to show that he possessed lyrical qualities too. Maybe that was why as an encore he decided to play Rachmaninov’s Vocalise with a velvety softness.

Alexander Gavrylyuk
The Melbourne Age - 26th April 2010 - by Clive O'Connell
PRIZES are not an absolute indicator of excellence but they help a career along and Alexander Gavrylyuk has amassed his fair share. He won the Horowitz, Rubinstein and Hamamatsu competitions - all by the age of 20. He stands with the masterful Michael Kieran Harvey as one of the country's few pianists to have achieved true international success, so that his solo recital here was significant.
