Bela Gershgorin

This year he will be forty years old. "How much?" - other fans will exclaim in astonishment, not familiar with exact biographical data, but accustomed to the fact that their idol is delightfully young - and, one would like to believe, forever! From numerous posters and disc covers, an aristocratic-looking young man really looks, to whom maturity, weighing "adulthood" is somehow obviously inapplicable. Even the uncomplicated, but sonorous surname Bell itself semantically coincides with the bell - the sound scattered by heavy copper in space can last and melt, but you can’t grow old! However, this is already a game of associations. If you think about it, the respected forty for a person officially recognized as a classic during his lifetime (Billboard magazine) and called a “living legend” is not very much ...
Over the years spent on stage, the outstanding American violin virtuoso Joshua Bell recorded thirteen discs, received the prestigious Grammy Award and the equally prestigious Avery Fisher Prize, was awarded the title of an outstanding graduate of Indiana University - one of the best in the USA: in the next two years by special invitation, he will be the senior lecturer of the violin department. TV viewers remember their favorite for participating in a number of programs, including the most popular Sesame Street, Late Evening, Tonight Show, soundtracks for the films Red Violin, Ladies in Purple, Music of My Heart - in In the latter, he surprisingly accurately, without acting and without pinching, plays himself in a duet with Meryl Streep. He recorded Gershwin's Fantasia on the themes "Porgy and Bess", the CD "Short Road Home" with double-bass composer Edgar Meyer, "West Side Story Suite" and all other works by Bernstein, works by Beethoven, Brahms, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Mozart with their own original cadences...
The imagination of ingenuous people feeds on stereotypes - all over the world. The Americans, who have not yet ceased to be a great nation, are drawn by him as pragmatic robots, in which ballet is gymnastics, literature is entirely bestsellers with wax heroes, cinema is Hollywood dregs, written according to murderous canons, and music is only the sum of the accumulated techniques. Idols are often born not from a primitive need to have them - from a feeling of deep gratitude for the destruction of unflattering - and most importantly, absolutely far-fetched - stereotypes. Joshua Bell is our Joshua! - can cause a desire to worship even those who do not understand the intricacies of music: a pure American: athletic, Kennedy smile, surprisingly good-looking (People magazine named him one of the fifty most beautiful people on the planet). And still loves computer games! But his violin, its sound, which some call silky, others pour, others look like a human voice, and no one calls it cold, carries a silvery sound straight to the sky and refutes the naphthalene myths without fighting. nine0009 Joshua Bell's 2007-2008 season was full of events: after performing at the Tanglewood Festival and the similar Verbier Festival in Switzerland, he will have concerts at the Albert Hall in London and a European tour with Kurt Masur, who conducts the National Symphony Orchestra of France. There are tours and closer - performances with the orchestras of Pittsburgh, Chicago, Philadelphia. This October, with the St. Luke's Orchestra, he will perform a piece written especially for him by Jay Greenberg. Joshua Bell is engaged in chamber music and performs with such far from classical musicians as Josh Groban and Sting. His recently recorded list "Autumn 2007" includes the famous John Corigliano concerto from the film "Red Violin". This music will never become popular and hummed, because one cannot “sing” tears, anguish, the inability to break the curse. The film - a horror story about an unfortunate Italian maker's instrument, a blood-colored violin that brought misfortune to all its owners - won an Oscar for best original film score. The John Corigliano Concerto was performed by Joshua Bell. At the Academy Awards, the composer said with talented brevity: "Joshua plays like God." nine0009 ... A virtuoso violinist was born in the provincial town of Bloomington, Indiana. He and his two sisters grew up in a rural environment - though not twisting the tails of cows: both mother and father were psychologists. The boy did not promise to become a musical genius: like many of his peers, he was fond of computer games and athletics. Healthy and agile, he also achieved real success in tennis and at the age of ten even took part in the US championship in the appropriate age group. But the parents also noticed undoubted musical abilities - as a result, the son got into a music school - Jacob Music School - Indiana University, of which his father Alan Bell was an honorary doctor. Joshua began to study in the class of the famous teacher Joseph Gingold - and by the age of twelve the big sport ended, the road to completely different heights began. At fourteen, the flamboyant, self-assured teenager performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra under the baton of famed Ricardo Mutti, a brilliant prelude to his Carnegie Hall debut at 1985th year - four years before the release of Joshua Bell from an educational institution. Then they started talking about him seriously ...
... The film "Ladies in Purple" was released three years ago - to greatly surprise both the public and critics. The vicissitudes of the plot announced from the very beginning promised an exciting Hollywood story - but did not receive dashing promotion, froze on a strange impressionistic halftone. Two old ladies from a remote British province (colorful great old women Judi Dench and Maggie Smith) find a young man thrown by a wave on the seashore, who turns out to be alive. They drag him into the house, give him all their furious unrealized love (one of the sisters is a childless widow, the other is an old maid), they are terribly jealous of their foundling for each other. It turns out that the rescued is a Pole, it is casually mentioned that on the threshold of the thirty-ninth year and there is no strength to listen to the news ... But from whom the hero fled, he is silent. Then a violin falls into Andrzej's hands - and it turns out that he is a virtuoso. The saviors and their neighbors die from his dizzying passages - and then a certain Russian artist Olga appears, from whom, as from a potential invader, the sisters protect their Andrzej. It turns out that the young lady's brother is an outstanding violinist, and Andrzej must meet him at all costs so that the gift does not disappear in the British province forgotten by God...
Who was the mysterious young man and why he drowned, where did the Russian Olga come from, why the old ladies, who got to the concert of their favorite in London, hurriedly leave to never meet him again - all this will remain behind the scenes. The viewer does not receive a heartbreaking "story". The main character here is the music of Nigel Hess performed by Joshua Bell. Hot and passionate, she finishes everything that remains behind the scenes of the plot, drawn in a coldish watercolor, transparent and ghostly.
Cinema is a mass art, and go get a ticket to a Joshua Bell concert in New York. At Avery-Fisher Hall's box office, a pilgrimage. But that evening, a small miracle happened: a battered old man sold us two extra ones at a tolerable price.
Joshua Bell stood on the stage at Avery-Fisher Hall, dressed in his favorite black. The program included Prokofiev's First Concerto for violin and orchestra - a work of extraordinary complexity and rather unconventional form: contrary to the moving first and third movements familiar to a classical concerto, between which a slow second (pacifying or mournful) sounds, Prokofiev's First Concerto is a mystical slow frame of a living the middle scherzo by restrained first and third movements. nine0009 He raised his silvery bow - and theorizing receded like complete nonsense...
This music is devoid of romantic prettiness: the voice of the solo violin against the background of the orchestra's tremolo plunges you into a state of thought, almost sleep - only to return as a colorful, harmonically rich, awakening theme at the end. For those who love Prokofiev's music exclusively for the familiar musical characteristics of the animals in "Peter and the Wolf" or for the heart-warming hit march from the fabulous "Love for Three Oranges", this work, even built according to the canons of simple musical architectonics of the eighteenth century, may seem complicated - if not for the special expressiveness that makes Joshua Bell's violin speak. nine0009 His website stubbornly keeps silent about the personal life of the idol (apparently, it should be so ...), but consoles the curious with a great many other details. Joshua Bell still loves computer games, he loves to read and sleep on the plane, tired of the "laptop", is attached to family and friends, donates money to fight AIDS ... As mentioned above, after finishing his European tour, he will go to his native Indiana to teach - and it will immediately cease to be a province. You can, of course, ask why the world-famous violinist needs his native, but wilderness, if he is expected on the best stages of the planet. You don't have to ask: Joshua Bell apparently knows where to look for pearls. nine0009 He also knew why he decided on a very risky experiment, which was later written in colors by the Washington Post newspaper, which organized the whole idea. On January 12, 2004, around 8 a.m., a simply dressed young man stepped off the subway at Washington's L'Enfant Plaza station and began to play the violin. He played serious works, among which there was not a single downhole "hit", like "Ave Maria". Inconspicuous observers strictly monitored: in forty-three minutes, one thousand ninety-seven people passed by the player. Stopped to listen, seven. Threw money twenty-seven. During the time of standing in the winter chill, the musician collected thirty-two dollars with change. nine0009 The newspaper and the polled public seethed: what is fame - that very “bright patch”? What is art, served, as they say, without packaging, and does it exist at all? After all, no one recognized the idol, the magnificent Joshua Bell! However, it is impossible to say "no one". An unknown Department of Energy clerk, John Mortensen, one of those who had listened to the "unknown" performer for three minutes, stopped near him at the moment when Bach's Chaconne from the famous Partita in D minor was being played. Mr. Mortensen, who has nothing to do with music, admitted that at the moment when the sad turned into light (read - minor to major), "the whole world descended" on him. Failed violinist John Picarello stood longer - a good nine minutes, and did not spare money, put in a case of "green ones". If he knew that the Boston concerts of Joshua Bell, which took place just a few days before the experiment near the subway, the cheapest tickets cost about a hundred! nine0009 The Washington Post gave a detailed analysis of the event - both philosophical reflections and psychological observations took place. Explanations about how difficult it is for a person running to work - in winter, in the morning! - to realize that before you is an outstanding violinist of our time, sounded convincing. However, Joshua Bell was somewhat shocked. He admitted: you get used to fame, you become capricious, coughing in the hall is unpleasant, the music of some mobile phone that is not turned off is simply mercilessly annoying. And then I had to fight for the attention of street passers-by and rejoice over every dollar bill put in a case: since they didn’t throw a trifle, it means they really like it! nine0009 The newspaper did not complete the discussion about the nature of beauty and our need for it. She intelligently urged all the same not to dump art from the notorious ship of modernity: let it still sway with a precious cargo.
Joshua Bell was not afraid of his own confusion. He continues to play his 1713 Stradivari violin, worth three and a half million, which brings exceptional joy to the city and the world. Because the owner of it has a gift, because he doesn’t care if exhausted municipal employees stop to listen to him, because his bow and the Lord God are a straight vertical line ... nine0009
