Georgia Kelly & Dusan Bogdanovic - A journey home (1989)



Dušan Bogdanoviæ (Roðen 1955. u Beogradu) je kompozitor i gitarista klasiène muzike.

Muzika Dušana Bogdanoviæa je jedinstvena kombinacija klasiène muzike, džeza i muzièkog folklora (muzike sveta). Kao solista, i u saradnji sa umetnicima raznih stilskih orijentacija, on je održavao turneje po Evropi, Aziji i u Americi. Od muzike za solo gitaru do kamerne i orkestarske muzike, Bogdanoviæ ima preko sedamdeset izdatih dela (Berben, Doberman, GSP), i oko dvadeset albuma, od Trio Sonata J. S. Baha do savremene muzike (Intuišn, GSP, Doberman, M. A. itd.).

Po završenim studijama u srednjoj muzièkoj školi Josip Slavenski, Dušan je studirao na Ženevskom Konzervatorijumu kompoziciju u klasi Pjera Vismera i gitaru u klasi Marije-Livije Sao Markos. Posle prve nagrade na meðunarodnom takmièenju Muzièke Omladine u Beogradu i jedine prve nagrade na Ženevskom internacionalnom takmièenju 1975, Bogdanoviæ je uspešno debitovao u Karnegi Holu u Nju Jorku 1977. godine. Posle otvaranja odseka za gitaru na Fakultetu Muzièke Umetnosti u Beogradu, Dušan Bogdanoviæ je predavao na San Francisko Konzervatorijumu (1990-2007) i sada je angažovan kao profesor na Ženevskom Konzervatorijumu y Švajcarskoj.

Dusan Bogdanovic is a composer of masterful craft with a genuine clarity and purity of vision. His music is distinct to the extent that it would be nearly impossible to mistake it for another’s- and he happens to play the guitar… The opening piece, titled Crow, is a ballet-poem scored for tenor, flute, double bass, and guitar. It was commissioned by the Pacific Dance Company in 1990, and included nine dancers. Bogdanovic’s setting of Ted Hughes’ poetry is as powerful as it is challenging. A score that balances tension and rhythmic energy with moments of serene beauty, ever present is the silken smoothness that characterizes Bogdanovic’s music… The Gruber/Maklar Duo should be commended for a performance that is nothing short of astounding. Bogdanovic should be congratulated for writing what may be the finest piece of contemporary music for two guitars… The back cover of this disc states “Dusan Bogdanovic proves again to be one of the true originals of the guitar. His music shows a complete mastery of ethnic folk, jazz, and classical traditions.” While every bit of that statement is true, what this recording really demonstrates is the work of a composer who not only has rich experience with many kinds of music but who has cultivated his musical experience and reveals it by means of a truly individual, and exceptionally powerful voice.
