Bogányi studied at the Liszt Academy in Hungary with Zsuzsa Esztó and Laszlo Barányi; later he went to the Sibelius Academy where he took lessons from Matti Raekallio. When he went to the University of Indiana in the United States, his teacher was Gyorgy Sebök. He has taken several teacher´s courses with Annie Fischer and Ferenc Rados. Gergely Bogányi has merited several national and international awards: in 1990, third place in Ettlingen, Germany; second prize in Epinal, France in 1991, where he was the youngest competitor. He also received first prize in Budapest, 1993 Chopin Competition, and first place at the Mozart Competition, same city and year. Winner for three times of the Helmi Vesa competitions in 1989, 1990 and 1991. During the 1996 autumn, he won first prize in Budapest for the Franz Liszt competition.
He also interprets camera music with the Bogányi-Kelemen trio, Barnabas Kelemen playing the violin, Yibor Bogányi, the cello, with Gergely Bogányi at the piano. This trio conquered in 1999 the first prize at the International Chamber Music Competition in Kuhmo, Finland. In 1996, Bogányi was honored with the most important Hungarian award: he was made a Citizen of Honour for his native town Vác at the exceptionally early age of 22. During the spring of 2000 he received a Gramophone Prize for “The Best Musical Event and Best Musician in Hungary”, after a series of recitals that included Chopin’s full list of piano compositions.
Gergely has been invited to play as soloist with innumerable orchestras throughout Europe, as well as to offer recitals in festival and renowned music halls around the world. He was a soloist with the Vienna Philharmonic in March 2004, and made his debut at the New York Carnegie Hall in April together with the Hungarian violinist Barnabas Kelemen. His record list includes Mozart, Chopin and Liszt piano music, Chopin and Rachmaninoff sonatas for cello and piano, as well as all the works written by Liszt for violin and piano.
“Once more I heard comments about Bogányi being “the absolute reincarnation of Liszt himself” and the like. I do not count myself among believers of these ideas, but I can really state that, the same as Liszt, Bogányi has an unlimited technique, an out of discussion musicality and a ravishing personality favoring that after the last Rachmaninoff note, the whole electrified audience stood up as one to hail him.” Lázaro Anzar, Reforma daily newspaper. Mexico City, Jun 11, 2003. | Top | Federico Chopin
Chopin was born in the village of Żelazowa Wola, in the Duchy of Warsaw, to a French-expatriate father and Polish mother. He was considered a child-prodigy pianist. At the age of 20, on 2 November 1830, he left Warsaw for Austria, intending to go on to Italy. The outbreak of the Polish November Uprising 27 days later, and its subsequent suppression by the Russian Empire, led to his becoming one of many expatriates of the Polish Great Emigration. In Paris, Chopin made a comfortable living as a composer and piano teacher, while giving few public performances. Though an ardent Polish patriot, in France he used the French versions of his given names, and traveled on a French passport, possibly to avoid having to rely on Imperial Russian documents. After ill-fated romantic involvements with Polish women, from 1837 to 1847 he had a turbulent relationship with the French novelist Aurore Dupin, better known by her pseudonym, George Sand. For the greater part of his life Chopin suffered from poor health; he died in Paris in 1849, aged thirty-nine, of pulmonary tuberculosis. | Top | |
He was born in Vác, Hungary, in 1974 and started to take piano lessons when he was four years old. Two years later, Gergely Bogányi won a special prize at the National Piano Competition in Nyiregyháza, and nobody was surprised when, three years later, he won the first prize in the same competition.
Frédéric François Chopin, in Polish Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin (surname pronounced [ʃɔpɛ̃] in French, usually /ˈʃoʊpæn/ in English, sometimes written Szopen in Polish; 1 March 1810 – 17 October 1849), was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist. He is considered one of the great masters of Romantic music.
