Info zu As You Like It

Manche Musik begleitet einen ein Leben lang – nicht nur in der Erinnerung, sondern auch in den Händen, den Ohren und der Art, wie man die Welt wahrnimmt. Für mich begann diese musikalische Reise in Tiflis, Georgien, wo ich geboren und aufgewachsen bin und wo diese Klänge zum ersten Mal Wurzeln schlugen. Die Reise dieses Albums beginnt mit der Musik von Nodar Gabunia, einem Komponisten, Mentor und Lehrer, der meine frühe musikalische Stimme geprägt hat. Seine musikalische Sprache ist zutiefst persönlich und doch unverkennbar seine eigene – sie ist voller Klarheit, Wärme, Weisheit, Witz und Schönheit. Die zweite Hälfte des Albums gleitet sanft in die Klangwelt von Giya Kancheli über, einem engen Freund Gabunias. Kancheli ist international bekannt für seine symphonischen Werke, doch in seiner Heimat ist seine Musik für Theater und Film fest im Alltag verankert. Seine Melodien schweben durch die Luft: subtil, poetisch, melancholisch und voller unausgesprochener Emotionen. Die Aufnahme dieses Albums fühlte sich weniger wie eine Aufführung und mehr wie eine Erinnerung an. Die Musik floss ganz natürlich, als würde etwas, das lange Zeit in mir schlummerte, endlich seine Stimme finden. Es war, als würde ich ein Tagebuch in Klängen schreiben – voller Zuneigung, Dankbarkeit und stiller Ehrfurcht. (Nino Gvetadze)

Nino Gvetadze, Klavier

Nino Gvetadze
Born and raised in Tbilisi, Nino Gvetadze studied with Veronika Tumanishvili, Nodar Gabunia and Nana Khubutia. After her graduation Nino moved to the Netherlands to study with Paul Komen and Jan Wijn.

Nino received various awards. The most important were the Second Prize, Press Prize and Audience Award at the International Franz Liszt Piano Competition 2008. She received the prestigious Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award 2010.

Nino Gvetadze has performed with many outstanding conductors such as Michel Plasson, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Michel Tabachnik, John Axelrod and Jaap van Zweden and with the Rotterdam, The Hague, Brussels, Seoul and Netherlands Philharmonic, Bergische and the Rheinische Philharmonie amongst others. She went on tour with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, . Kammerakademie Potsdam and Amsterdam Sinfonietta.

Nino has given various recitals all over the world, among those in Hannover (PRO MUSICA Preisträger am Klavier-Zyklus), Bayreuth, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, with Jean-Yves Thibaudet at the Spoleto Festival, Lucerne Piano Festival, Bunka-kaikan Hall Tokyo and twice at the Festival Piano aux Jacobins (Toulouse).

The repertoire of Nino stretches from Bach, Mozart and Beethoven to Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninov and further to contemporary music. Most of the selected pieces are very virtuoso and demanding, but in her interpretation Nino always brings forward its poetry and characteristic colors. The St. Gallen Tagblat wrote: “absolutely thrilling” about her performance of Tchaikovsky’s 2nd Piano Concerto and: “Poetry and Phantasy dominated indefatigably over the pure brilliance.”

Concertonet : “Schubert’s Wanderer Fantaisie was expressed with a total and admirable knowledge of the architecture of the score, enthralling with an outstanding feeling for timbre and colour.”

Nino recorded 3 solo CDs: Piano works by Mussorgsky (Brilliant Classics), Rachmaninoff Preludes op 23 and op 32 (Etcetera) and “Widmung” with Liszt piano works (Orchid Classics). Her recordings and interviews are often broadcasted on European radio and TV Stations.

Nino plays on a Steinway Grand Piano, kindly lent to her by the Dutch National Music Instrument Foundation.
