MURANI
Piano

Pianista / compositor español.

Empieza sus estudios en el Conservatorio de Murcia, y consigue una beca para poder marcharse a Rusia. Estudia durante un año en el Conservatorio Tchaïkovsky y durante 6 años en el Instituto Gnessin de Moscú, donde se le concede en 1993 el “Premio Rojo”, galardón que representa la mayor calificación en todas las asignaturas del Instituto, premio que no se otorgaba desde 1989 y que nunca antes había sido concedido a un artista que no fuera ruso. Tiene más de 250 obras en su repertorio.

…No cabe la menor duda que algún día los historiadores de la música le rendirán un homenaje sonado a este brillante intérprete. El intérprete, gracias a una hazaña extraordinaria, parece estar improvisando libremente donde existe una partitura cuya complejidad estropearía la expresividad del mejor músico. “¡Mi más profundo homenaje, Señor Murani!”.

Revue Ena Mensuel. Francia. Febrero 2003

“Formado en Moscú, este pianista español tiene todas las cartas para convencer en un programa terriblemente exigente. Su Fantasía Bética, a la vez sensual y martilleante, los vaivenes sugestivos con los que adorna ‘Almería’ y ‘Triana’ (extractos de ‘Iberia’) y los matices embellecedores que sugiere en ‘Torre Bermeja’ de Albéniz, son servidos con una sonoridad firme y redonda, con un impecable sentido del ritmo. Bajo sus dedos, el ‘Claro de Luna’ de la Suite Bergamasque, se convierte en un modelo de poesía.”

LE MONDE DE LA MUSIQUE - Pablo Galonce (*****) - Febrero 2003

Spanish pianist / composer.

He starts studying at the Murcia Conservatoire, then he obtains a scholarship to go and study in Russia. He spends one year at the Tchaikowsky Conservatoire, and 6 years at the Gnessin Institute where he obtains the Red Prize in 1993. This distinction means the highest mark in all the subjects of the Institute. That particular prize had not been granted for the 4 previous years, and had never been granted to anybody who would not be Russian. He has more than 250 pieces in his repertoire, ready to be played.

SPANISH FIRE. The Spanish Juan Miguel Murani has been the guest of the Chopin Gesellschaft.

“The Spanish pianist Juan Miguel Murani was in his element playing music from his land. One would have expected to see a flamenco dancer full of passion and character dance while Murani played for the Chopin Gesellschaft of Darmstadt, where he had been invited. The program was extremely demanding, including works like Sevilla and Almería by Albéniz and Fantasía Bética by Manuel de Falla. Virtuosity of technique, amazing sensibility, temperament, and sense of rhythm are the characteristics of his interpretation, pointing his finger with Falla towards the future and modernity.”

Darmstadt Echo. Klaus Trapp –

“A Tribute to Ricardo Viñes:… A century later, these works come back to life under the fingers of Juan Miguel Murani …This musician, whose name is enough to indicate his nationality, has literally captivated us …There cannot be the slightless doubt that one day the music historians will pay a much talked-about tribute to this brilliant performer. Thanks to an extraordinary feat, the performer seems to be openly improvising when there is such a complex score that would spoil the expressiveness of even the best musician. “My most profound admiration, Mr. Murani!”
