Josef Bulva
Настоящее имя: Josef Bulva
Об исполнителе:
Czech pianist, born 9 January 1943 in Brünn, Moravia (today Brno, Czech Republic). Bulva began his training aged nine at a music school in Napajedla, and performed his first concerts aged 13, playing works by Mozart, études by Liszt and the Paganini Variations by Brahms. He was excused from conventional education and entered the Brno Conservatory with a state scholarship, before continuing on to the Music Academy of the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava (where he studied alongside Lucia Popp and Edita Gruberová), graduating with honors. Soon after, aged 21, he was named as an "artist of the State". Bulva's subsequent intense international concert schedule was interrupted in 1971 for an entire year by a serious accident. He subsequently emigrated to the west for political reasons, taking residence first in Munich and then in Luxembourg, where he resumed his concert and recording activities. In 1996 Bulva injured his left hand in another accident, with what was thought to be permanent damage, forcing him to end his career as a professional pianist. However, after an operation by Swiss hand surgeon Beat Simmen, Bulva regained full control of his hand and recommenced his career in November and December 2009, after a pause of 13 years, performing concerts in Augsburg, Munich, Zurich and Stuttgart. Bulva's repertoire includes works by Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Liszt, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Scriabin, Rachmaninov and contemporary composers. In some cases he has made his own arrangements of existing compositions, such as Liszt’s "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" and Wagner's Tannhäuser Overture.
