바이올리니스트 Ivry Gitlis (이브리 기틀리스)

아시아인들이 지금처럼 바욜린계에서 두각을 나타내기 이전 시대엔 유태인들이 장악했었다고 한다. 
우연히 이 분 연주 영상을 보고 궁금해서 이거저것 디다 봤더니 이 분도 유태인. 

야샤 하이페츠, 이착 펄만, 조슈아 벨... 이 분들도 모두 유태계.

작년에 오셨었군요 ㅠ_ㅠ

Life

Yitzhak-Meir (Isaac) Gitlis, born in Haifa, Palestine Mandate, to Jewish parents, emigrated in 1921 from Kamianets-Podilskyi, Russia, now Ukraine. Gitlis got his first violin when he was 5 and started lessons under Mme Velikovsky together with his friend Zvi Zeitlin. He then studied privately with Mira Ben-Ami (a pupil of Joseph Szigeti). When he was 8, she arranged for him to play forBronisław Huberman which prompted a fundraising campaign to allow him to study in France. In 1933 he arrived with his mother in Paris and started to take lessons with Marcel Chailley, husband of the pianist Céliny Chailley-Richez. Being very close to their family introduced him to George Enescu and Jacques Thibaud. In that period he decided to change his birth name (Isaac) to Ivry. At 11, Gitlis (Jitlis) entered the Conservatoire de Paris in the class of Jules Boucherit, winning a Premier Prix in 1935. Later, in 1939–1940, his teachers included George Enescu and Jacques Thibaud in Paris and Carl Flesch, in Spa, Belgium and later in London.

In 1951, as suggested by his teacher Alice Pashkus, he participated at the Long-Thibaud Competition in Paris, where he took fifth place. During preliminary stages of the Competition, a rumor circulated that he'd stolen a Stradivarius during the war, which caused a scandal on the day of the final. Six years after the fall of Hitler, being a Jew in France was still causing debate. In the same year, Gitlis made his debut in Paris, playing a recital at the 'Salle Gaveau', sponsored by the music manager Marcel de Valmalète (9 July 1951).
In the 50s, he moved to the United States where he met Jascha Heifetz. There he made several tours, including those conducted by Eugene Ormandy (Tchaikovsky, in Philadelphia) and George Szell (Sibelius, in New York). Back in Europe, between 1953 and 1955, he recorded for the Vox label concertos by Berg (Concerto "à la mémoire d'un ange" which won the Grand Prix du Disque, coupled with Kammerkonzert), Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn, Stravinsky (Violin Concerto, coupled with Duo Concertant) and with the conductor Jascha Horenstein, Bartók, Bruch and Sibelius.
In 1963, he was the first Israeli violinist to play in the Soviet Union. He gave a series of concerts under the cultural exchange program of the Soviet Union and Israel, starting from Vilna (23 October 1963). His other concerts were given in Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev and Odessa.
In 1968 he participated in John Lennon's project, The Dirty Mac, in The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus film project.
Many composers were fascinated by his sound and way of playing, among whom René Leibowitz who dedicated the "Violin Concerto Op.50" (1958) to him; Bruno Madernawriting "Pièce pour Ivry" (1971), which Gitlis never recorded commercially (but recorded live in Paris, 25 May 1983); Yannis Xenakis with "Mykka(s)", which Gitlis premièred in 1972; Roman Haubenstock-Ramati with "Sequences" for Violin and Orchestra (1972); Charles Harold Bernstein with two works for solo violin, inspired by Gitlis, "Rhapsodie Israélienne" and "Romantic Suite" (1984).
In 1972, he founded the Festival de Vence, famous for its innovative programming. He has often visited Japan where he is popular. In 1975 he acted in a dramatic role as Hypnotist in François Truffaut's film, The Story of Adele H..

In 1990 Gitlis was designated UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador. His stated aim is the "support of education and culture of peace and tolerance". Ivry Gitlis is a commentator (along with Itzhak Perlman) all the way through the DVD

The Art of Violin

(2000) which showcases performances and gives biographical details of many of the great violinists of the 20th century.
Since the end of the sixties, Gitlis has resided in Paris, France.
In 2008, he became patron of the Paris based Association "inspiration(s)", whose aim is to make classical music accessible to all. At various stages in his career, he played on a 1699 Giovanni Battista Rogeri, which he sold to famed violin author Sidney Bowden, the 1737 "Chant du Cygne" Antonio Stradivari and the 1740 "Ysaye" Guarneri del Gesù. Ivry Gitlis currently owns the 1713 "Sancy" Antonio Stradivari.

He is a Fellow of the Royal Northern College of Music.
