Info zu Shostakovich: Complete Chamber Music for Piano and Strings

While underlining Dmitri Shostakovich’s importance in the history of music, the musicologist Lev Mazel wrote: ‘if human culture does not die out, the life and personality of Dmitri Shostakovich will be studied in depth for centuries and centuries. Just as every detail concerning Beethoven attracts the attention not only of specialists, but a great number of layman, every detail of the life and work of Shostakovich will be of interest to posterity’. So, what do we know of the life of Shostakovich? That it was full, agitated, under constant public judgement and without any slowing of creative output until the end. A few friends and family members could experience an image of him as an engaged citizen assuming his civic responsibilities but also, most importantly, an image of a citizen engaged with and devoted to his art like few others. This image began to be modified after his death as soon as his memoires, journals and diaries started to be published, a process which increased and developed during the post-Soviet era. This contributed to a re-evaluation of Shostakovich during the period following the Cold War and, more generally, of the whole phenomenon of Soviet culture. The posthumous reception of Shostakovich and his music, beyond expanded recognition of his artistic value, became the object of unflagging fascination on the part of musicians, musicologists, journalists and the general public. Even today, we witness great debates on the extra-musical content of his work, particularly the autobiographical fingerprint that Shostakovich explicitly inscribed in certain pieces –for example, his eighth String Quartet, the tenth Symphony, the first Concertos for Violin and Cello and the Sonata for Violin and Piano–, by imposing an occult musical signature. The famous musical motif DSCH which corresponds to the first letters of his first and last names, which correspond to musical note names in German: Dmitri (S)CHostakovitch = DSCH = D, E flat, C, B. On 5 January 1944, Dmitri Shostakovich wrote in a letter to Antal Molnár: ‘Chamber music requires of the composer the most perfect technique and the greatest depth of thought. I would not be too far from the truth if I affirmed that, sometimes, behind the “sparkle” of the orchestral sound is hidden a lack of imagination. Composing chamber music pieces is, for me, significantly more difficult than composing orchestral works…a lack of depth in the thought process in chamber music is simply intolerable’. [….]

Filipe Pinto-Ribeiro
One of Portugal’s foremost musicians, both nationally and internationally, Filipe Pinto-Ribeiro is considered a ‘poet of the piano’, whose musical interpretations, characterized by profound emotion and intellectuality, are highly appreciated by the public and by music critics.

Born in Porto, he studied in various countries before becoming a disciple of Lyudmila Roshchina at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, where he obtained a Doctorate in Musical Performance in 2000, with maximum classifications, holding the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation Scholarship.

Playing the whole spectrum of the piano repertoire, from the Baroque to Contemporary Music, he has premiered many works from composers such as Dmitri Shostakovich, Marcelo Nisinman, Eurico Carrapatoso and Sofia Gubaidulina.

As a soloist, he is frequently invited by the most important orchestras from Portugal and also from other countries, such as Russia, Spain, Cuba, Slovakia, Armenia or Belgium, collaborating with conductors John Nelson, Dmitri Liss, Emilio Pomàrico, Mikhail Agrest, Charles Olivieri-Munroe, Peter Tilling, Boguslaw Dawidow, Rengim Gökmen, Marc Tardue and Misha Rachlevsky, among others.

A passionate chamber musician, he has performed regularly with outstanding colleagues, such as Gary Hoffman, Corey Cerovsek, Renaud Capuçon, Adrian Brendel, Benjamin Schmid, Gérard Caussé, Michel Portal, Jack Liebeck, Christian Poltéra, Isabel Charisius, Pascal Moraguès, Radek Baborák, Eldar Nebolsin, Lars Anders Tomter, Anna Samuil and José van Dam, among others.

The DSCH - Shostakovich Ensemble
is a Portuguese project with an international dimension, based in Lisbon, under the artistic direction of the pianist Filipe Pinto-Ribeiro.

A chamber ensemble of variable geometry, the Shostakovich Ensemble constitutes a platform for meeting and interaction of musicians of excellence in the international scene, masters in their instruments, animated by the pleasure of making chamber music and a deep artistic complicity.

It was created by Filipe Pinto-Ribeiro in 2006, the centennial year of the birth of the composer Dmitri Shostakovich, to whom the ensemble owes its name. This tribute to a composer follows the history and experience of some of the main ensembles founded in the 20th century, such as the Beethoven Quartet (Russia), the Alban Berg Quartet (Austria), the Borodin Trio (USA), the Ysaÿe Quartet (France) or the Schönberg Ensemble (Holland). In the case of the Schostakovich Ensemble, it is also intended to praise the artistic ideal of authenticity and humanism, of rigor and passion, expressed in the autobiographical musical enigma enclosed in the hidden musical signature of Dmitri Shostakovich, the DSCH cryptogram created by the composer based on the first letters of his name and nickname, that is, the thematic musical motif "D – E flat – C – B natural", used in some of his most significant works.

The vast repertoire of the Shostakovich Ensemble includes works by composers from various periods and musical styles, from Bach to Schumann, from Mozart to Messiaen, from Haydn to Webern, from Brahms to Ravel, from Beethoven to Dvořák, including contemporaries such as Sofia Gubaidulina, with whom the Ensemble has established close collaboration.

The Shostakovich Ensemble became in 2008 Resident Ensemble at the Belém Cultural Center, in Lisbon. Since its debut in 2006, the Shostakovich Ensemble has also performed concerts from north to south of Portugal, namely in the cities of Bragança, Matosinhos, Porto, Vila Nova de Gaia, Viseu, Coimbra, Lisbon, Portimão and Faro, among others. In the other countries in which the Shostakovich Ensemble has performed concerts, like Spain, France, Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Sweden or Russia, it always obtained a great receptivity of the public and excellent reviews of the musical critic. In this context, he has also inveiled the Portuguese musical heritage, premiering in some of those countries works by Portuguese composers of different periods.

During the first decade of existence, the Shostakovich Ensemble has included, among others, the violinists Corey Cerovsek, Renaud Capuçon, Benjamin Schmid, Jack Liebeck, Liza Ferschtman, Philippe Graffin, Tatiana Samouil and Cerys Jones, the violists Isabel Charisius, Gérard Caussé, Lars Anders Tomter and Vladimir Mendelssohn, the cellists Adrian Brendel, Christian Poltéra, Gary Hoffman, Kyril Zlotnikov, Justus Grimm, Nicolas Altstaedt and Edgar Moreau, the double bassists Matthew McDonald and Tiago Pinto-Ribeiro, the flutists Silvia Careddu and Adriana Ferreira, the oboists Ramón Ortega and Jonathan Kelly, the clarinetists Pascal Moraguès and Michel Portal, the percussionists Juanjo Guillem and Pedro Carneiro, the bandoneonist Marcelo Nisinman, the singers José van Dam, Anna Samuil and Maria Gortsevskaya, and the pianists Eldar Nebolsin, Rosa Maria Barrantes and Filipe Pinto-Ribeiro.

Since the founding of the Shostakovich Ensemble in 2006, RDP Antena 2 has been recording some of its concerts. In 2009 the French television channel Mezzo broadcasted a concert of the Schostakovich Ensemble with works by Haydn and Mendelssohn. 2018 will mark the beginning of Shostakovich Ensemble's discography, with the world's first recording of Dmitri Shostakovich's complete chamber music for piano and strings, recorded by Filipe Pinto-Ribeiro, Corey Cerovsek, Cerys Jones, Isabel Charisius and Adrian Brendel. This double CD album will be edited by Paraty label and worldwide distributed by Harmonia Mundi PIAS.
