Interview to Catalina Vicens
I (Akihiko Yamanobe) interviewed Catalina Vicens who is visiting Japan
for giving several concerts and a master class. She is also going to attend the 20th IMS Congress (Congress of the International Musicological Society) in Tokyo with her professor Dinko Fabris
(President of the IMS).
Y; I heard that you are born in Santiago di Chile.
You started to learn music in your childhood.
V(Catalina Vicens); I asked my mother to learn the piano and I started
to learn it at the age of 7 in Suzuki method. My mother is an opera singer until I was 5 years old. When I was 13 years old, I continued to learn the piano in a conservatory. There I met a
very nice teacher who knew that I like Baroque music and push me to have an audition for the harpsichord class
of The Curtis Institute of Music, Philadelphia in the United States.
At the age of 18, I started to study piano and harpsichord in
Philadelphia. I studied piano for two years, harpsichord for four years. In the harpsichord class I needed to prepare two sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti for each lesson. I learned Scarlatti, J.S.
Bach, F. Couperin, and Rameau. I learned also contemporary music on the piano.
After that I started to learn harpsichord with Robert Hill in Musikhochschule Freiburg. There I learned J.S. Bach, virginal books on virginals, sons of J.S.Bach on clavichord and
the sons of J.S. Bach and Haydn on fortepiano. I learned also contemporary music.
In 2007 I study with Andrea Marcon only 17th century music. I learned music of Claudio Merulo and Frescobaldi for one year.
During the time I studied with
Andrea Marcon, I started to join the Medieval music theory classes of Schola Cantorum
Basiliensis for one year. And I taught myself the organetto. In 2008 I
started to learn medieval harpsichord with the professor Corina Martini as a student of a master’s course. I learned only 14th and 15th music. (Corina
Martini is a professor of recorders and clavicymbalum)
From 2010 I started to learn
contemporary music in the Musik
Akademie Basel for 3 years.
From
2014 I am learning 16th century Itaian keyboard music in PhD degree at the Leiden University, The Netherlands.
Y; Thank you so much. It
sounds fantastic that you learned 14th and 15th century music first, and after that now you are learning 16th century music.
By the way could I ask what
attract you in the 14th and 15th century music? And also the contemporary music if I may ask?
V;What attracted me of
medieval music was first its directness. Then I discovered that behind a “simple” surface, there is much richness and diversity. Now I specially enjoy the expressiveness, rhythm, Pythagorean
tuning and freedom.
What I like from contemporary
music is that it transports me always to a different “state of mind”.
Y; By the way have you played
many of original instruments?
V; Yes, I played 60 original
keyboard instruments from Renaissance and Baroque. And I also give concerts on 20 original instruments in these 10 years.
Each of those instrumnets is
like a teacher – and one of my best teachers was the Renaissance Neapolitan instrument (c.1525). I was able to record in South Dakota (USA). I spent many days practicing on that instrument, which
is the oldest playable harpsichord, so that I could then record my last CD “Il Cembalo di Partenope”, with music from 16th century Italy.
Y; About the program of the concert yesterday titled ‘Il Cembalo di Partenope’, you told me that all
pieces have its origin as a song. But was it hard for you to find their original songs?
V; No, I had studied 14th and 15th music for many years, so I knew the original
songs in most cases.
Y; While you are performing, I felt that you are saying or singing.
V; Yes, I was.
Y; Could I ask your activities from now on?
I will give many concerts in the Europe and United States.
In April, I will give cocerts in Austria,Spain,USA,
in May, Holland, USA again, France
in June, Germany, Czech Rep. etc. etc.
Y; Thank you. I wish you will make up a great job.
