Info for Russian PianoForte



Jimin Oh-Havenith's fourth album for audite is dedicated to works by Mussorgsky, Scriabin and Rachmaninoff, three of the most famous Russian composers of the 19th and (early) 20th centuries. Planned long before Putin's Ukraine war, the release is now a beacon for the often damaged freedom of art. The focus is on Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, composed in 1874, which became world-famous in Maurice Ravel's orchestral version but remains a particular creative and technical challenge for pianists today because of their treatment of the piano. Oh-Havenith's interpretation demonstrates the tonal and dramatic potential that can be unleashed when virtuosity and programmatic vision are matched. Alexander Scriabin and Sergei Rachmaninoff, who gained legendary reputations as professional composer-pianists, continued along this path in their extensive œuvres, each with their own individual means. The selection of etudes and preludes from 1889-1910 that Oh-Havenith has compiled not only demonstrates a consummate mastery of the piano's possibilities, but also continues the path to world renown for Russian piano music that Mussorgsky had taken.

Jimin Oh-Havenith
Eine einzigartige Klangfülle und außerordentliche Texttreue bestimmen Jimin Oh-Haveniths Klavierspiel. Ihr warmer Klang, der immer unmittelbar mit präziser rhythmischer Struktur verbunden ist, lässt die Musik in all ihrem Reichtum lebendig werden. Synchronizität von Klang und Rhythmus, nicht willkürliche Veränderungen von Tempo und Dynamik bestimmen die Klarheit ihrer Interpretation, wie beispielsweise bei Jimin Oh-Haveniths aktueller Einspielung von Beethovens letzter Sonate op. 111.

JImin Oh-Havenith wurde in Seoul, Südkorea geboren. 1979 begann sie ihr Klavierstudium bei Jin-Woo Chung an der Seoul National University. 1981 bis 1984 setzte sie ihr Studium bei Aloys Kontarsky an der Musikhochschule Köln fort. Zusätzlich zu ihrer Konzerttätigkeit als Solistin sowie Rundfunk- und Plattenaufnahmen, konzertierte sie auch als Klavier-Duo mit ihrem Mann Raymund Havenith († 1993). Die Pianistin lehrte an der Hochschule für Musik Mainz und der Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst, Frankfurt am Main.

Musik kommt für mich dem Atem gleich. Sie ist wie ein klingendes, ausgeformtes Atmen – und somit existentieller Teil und Notwendigkeit des Lebens. Der Klang der Musik bringt die Seele zum Atmen. In diesem Atmen höre ich den gewaltigen Klang der Stille.“ (Jimin Oh-Havenith)
