in Nordijskim komornim orkestrom.
Od leta 2008 se kot umetniški vodja podpisuje
pod Festival Maribor.
Kot solist je Tognetti večkrat nastopil
z Avstralskim komornim orkestrom in
pomembnejšimi avstralskimi filharmonijami,
kot je Sydneyjska, s katero je leta
1998 uprizoril avstralsko krstno izvedbo
Ligetijevega Koncerta za violino. Sodeloval
je s pisano druščino številnih drugih
umetnikov; z glasbeniki Josephom
Tawadrosom, Dawn Upshaw, Jamesom
Crabbom in Emmanuelom Pahudom, z
igralcem Jackom Thompsonom, s pevci
Petrom Garettom, Neilom Finnom, Timom
Friedmanom in Paulom Capsisom, s
fotografoma Billom Hensonom in Jonom
Frankom ter pesnikom in karikaturistom
Michaelom Leunigom. Preizkusil se je
tudi kot soskladatelj filmske glasbe za
hollywoodski film Master&Commander
ter surferski film Horrorscope.
Poleg številnih zgoščenk, ki jih je Tognetti
posnel skupaj z Avstralskim komornim
orkestrom, je za ABC Classics pred kratkim
posnel Bachove solistične sonate in partite.
Posnetke so kritiki leta 2005 sprejeli
z navdušenjem, leta 2006 pa so prejeli
nagrado ARIA za najboljši album klasične
glasbe. Zgoščenke z Bachovim violinskim
opusom s spremljavo so izšle leto kasneje
in bile 2007 prav tako nagrajene z nagrado
ARIA za najboljši album klasične glasbe.
V bližnji preteklosti je Tognetti posnel
serijo Mozartovih Koncertov za violino in
Dvořakov Koncert za violino.
Kot strasten zagovornik glasbenega
izobraževanja je v okviru Avstralskega
komornega orkestra leta 2005 ustanovil
izobraževalni program in program »Vzhajajoča
glasbena zvezda«. Pred kratkim se
je z Avstralskim komornim orkestrom podal
na turnejo po Avstraliji, na kateri so
predstavljali glasbo, ki jo je navdihnil na
newyorškem festivalu prvonagrajeni film
Musica Surfica.
Kar tri prestižne avstralske univerze so
Richardu Tognettiju podelile častni doktorat,
avstralska vlada pa ga je leta 1999
nagradila z najvišjim državnim priznanjem
»National Living Treasure«. Igra na
glasbilo Guarneri del Gesù iz leta 1743,
ki mu ga je podaril anonimni avstralski
donator.
Australian violinist and conductor Richard
Tognetti has established an international
reputation for his compelling performances
and artistic individualism. He studied at the
Sydney Conservatorium with Alice Waten, in
his home town of Wollongong with William
Primrose, and at the Berne Conservatory
(Switzerland) with the Slovenian violi nist
Igor Ozim, where he was awarded the
Tschu mi Prize as the top graduate soloist
in 1989. Later that year he returned to lead
several performances of the ACO, and in
November, at only 25 years of age, was
appointed as Leader. He was subsequently
appointed Artistic Director of the Orchestra.
Tognetti performs on period, modern and
electric instruments. His numerous arrangements,
compositions and transcriptions
have expanded the chamber orchestra
repertoire and been performed throughout
the world.
Highlights of his career as director, soloist
or chamber music partner include the Sydney
Festival (as conductor of Mozart’s opera
Mitridate); and appearances with the Handel
& Haydn Society (Boston), Hong Kong
Philharmonic, Camerata Salzburg, Tapiola
Sinfonietta, Irish Chamber Orchestra
and the Nordic Chamber Orchestra. He is
currently Artistic Director of the Maribor
Festival in Slovenia; the first festival under
his leadership was held in September 2008
and featured collaborations with European
and Australian musicians and the European
premiere of Luminous.
As a soloist Richard Tognetti has appeared
on many occasions with the ACO and with
the major Australian symphonies, including
the Australian premiere of Ligeti’s Violin
Concerto with the Sydney Symphony in
1998. He has collaborated with colleagues
