Nws tau los ua qhov kev npaj txhij txog, tej zaum, tsuas yog tias tus kws kos duab Askiv tsis tau sim nws txhais tes ntawm kev sib tw ua ntej. Tab sis nws nyiam txiav txim siab nws txoj hmoo "nrog ib lub tshuab" - thiab raws li txhua tus neeg ntseeg, nws tsis tau yuam kev.

Rau tag nrho cov ntawd, John Lill tsis tuaj rau Moscow kev yeej ntawm txoj kev du. Nws tau yug los rau hauv tsev neeg ua haujlwm hauv chav kawm, loj hlob hauv London suburb ntawm East End (qhov chaw nws txiv ua haujlwm hauv lub Hoobkas) thiab, tau qhia cov txuj ci suab paj nruag thaum yau, ntev heev tsis muaj nws tus kheej ntaus ntawv. . Txoj kev loj hlob ntawm cov txuj ci ntawm ib tug tub hluas lub hom phiaj, txawm li cas los xij, ua tau nrawm heev. Thaum muaj hnub nyoog 9 xyoos, nws tau ua yeeb yam nrog lub suab paj nruag thawj zaug, ua si thib ob Concerto ntawm Brahms (tsis txhais tau tias "me nyuam yaus" ua haujlwm!), Thaum muaj 14 xyoos, nws paub yuav luag tag nrho Beethoven los ntawm lub siab. Xyoo ntawm kev kawm ntawm Royal College of Music (1955-1965) coj nws ntau qhov sib txawv, suav nrog D. Lipatti Medal thiab Gulbenkian Foundation Scholarship. Ib tug kws qhia paub txog, tus thawj coj ntawm lub koom haum "Musical Youth" Robert Mayer tau pab nws ntau heev.

Xyoo 1963, tus pianist tau ua nws thawj zaug ntawm Royal Festival Hall: Beethoven's Fifth Concerto tau ua. Txawm li cas los xij, sai li sai tau thaum nws kawm tiav hauv tsev kawm qib siab, Lill raug yuam kom siv sijhawm ntau rau kev kawm ntiag tug - nws yuav tsum tau khwv tau nyiaj; Tsis ntev nws tau txais ib chav kawm ntawm nws tus txiv laus. Tsuas yog maj mam pib ua kom muaj kev ua yeeb yam, thawj zaug hauv tsev, tom qab ntawd hauv Asmeskas, Canada thiab ntau lub tebchaws nyob sab Europe. Ib qho ntawm thawj tus txaus siab rau nws lub peev xwm yog Dmitri Shostakovich, uas tau hnov ​​​​Lill ua yeeb yam hauv Vienna xyoo 1967. Thiab peb xyoos tom qab Mayer tau yaum nws mus koom kev sib tw Moscow ...

Yog li ntawd qhov kev vam meej tau tiav. Tab sis tseem, nyob rau hauv lub txais tos uas cov pej xeem Moscow muab rau nws, muaj ib tug tej yam txias ntawm wariness: nws tsis ua rau xws li nrov nrov zoo siab uas lub romantic excitement ntawm Cliburn, stunning originality ntawm Ogdon, los yog lub ntxim nyiam ntawm cov hluas emanating los ntawm G. Sokolov yav dhau los ua rau. Yog, txhua yam yog lawm, txhua yam nyob rau hauv qhov chaw, ”tab sis ib yam dab tsi, qee yam zest, tau ploj lawm. Qhov no kuj tau pom los ntawm ntau tus kws tshaj lij, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog thaum kev sib tw zoo siab tau txo qis thiab tus yeej tau mus rau nws thawj zaug mus ncig peb lub tebchaws. Ib tug neeg paub zoo ntawm kev ua si piano, thuam thiab pianist P. Pechersky, them tribute rau Lill txoj kev txawj ntse, clarity ntawm nws lub tswv yim thiab yooj yim ntawm kev ua si, sau tseg: "Tus pianist tsis "ua hauj lwm" tsis yog lub cev los yog (alas!) kev xav. Thiab yog tias thawj qhov kev kov yeej thiab kev zoo siab, ces qhov thib ob ua rau poob siab ... Tseem, zoo li John Lill txoj kev yeej tseem ceeb tseem tsis tau muaj los, thaum nws tswj kom muaj kev sov siab ntxiv rau nws cov txuj ci ntse thiab kev ua siab zoo, thiab thaum tsim nyog - thiab cua sov.

Qhov kev xav no tag nrho (nrog ntau qhov ntxoov ntxoo) tau qhia los ntawm ntau tus neeg thuam. Ntawm qhov ua tau zoo ntawm tus kws kos duab, cov neeg tshuaj xyuas tau hais tias "kev noj qab haus huv ntawm lub hlwb", lub ntuj tsim kev zoo siab, lub siab dawb paug ntawm kev ua suab paj nruag, kev sib haum xeeb, "qhov tseem ceeb ntawm lub suab ntawm qhov kev ua si." Nws yog cov epithets uas peb yuav ntsib thaum peb tig mus rau kev tshuaj xyuas ntawm nws qhov kev ua yeeb yam. "Ib zaug ntxiv kuv raug ntaus los ntawm cov kws ntaus suab paj nruag hluas," tau sau ntawv xov xwm "Musical Life" tom qab Lill ua Prokofiev's Third Concerto. "Twb yog nws cov txheej txheem ntseeg siab muaj peev xwm muab kev lom zem zoo nkauj. Thiab muaj zog octaves, thiab "heroic" leaps, thiab seemingly weightless piano passages ...

Kwv yees li ntawm peb caug xyoo tau dhau mus txij thaum ntawd los. Dab tsi yog qhov tseem ceeb ntawm cov xyoo no rau John Lill, dab tsi tshiab uas lawv tau coj los rau tus kws kos duab kos duab? Outwardly, txhua yam txuas ntxiv txhim kho kev nyab xeeb. Kev yeej ntawm kev sib tw qhib lub qhov rooj ntawm qhov kev hais kwv txhiaj theem txawm tias dav dua rau nws: nws ncig xyuas ntau, kaw yuav luag tag nrho Beethoven's sonatas thiab kaum ob ntawm lwm yam haujlwm ntawm cov ntaub ntawv. Nyob rau tib lub sijhawm, hauv qhov tseeb, lub sijhawm tsis tau ntxiv cov yam ntxwv tshiab rau cov duab uas paub txog John Lill. Tsis yog, nws cov txuj ci tseem tsis tau ploj mus. Raws li ua ntej, ntau xyoo dhau los, cov xovxwm them nqi rau nws "lub suab sib npaug thiab nplua nuj", saj nruj, ceev faj tus cwj pwm rau tus sau cov ntawv (tab sis, rau nws tsab ntawv tshaj li nws tus ntsuj plig). Lill, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog, yeej tsis txiav thiab ua txhua qhov kev rov ua dua, raws li tau hais los ntawm tus kws sau ntawv, nws yog neeg txawv teb chaws rau lub siab xav siv cov teebmeem pheej yig, ua si rau cov neeg tuaj saib.

"Vim hais tias suab paj nruag rau nws tsis yog tsuas yog lub embodiment ntawm kev zoo nkauj, tsis yog tsuas yog ib qho kev thov rau kev xav thiab tsis tsuas yog kev lom zem, tab sis kuj qhia qhov tseeb, nws kho nws txoj hauj lwm raws li ib tug embodiment ntawm no kev muaj tiag yam tsis muaj kev cuam tshuam pheej yig saj, tsis muaj alluring cwj pwm ntawm txhua yam." tau sau ntawv Cov Ntaub Ntawv thiab Sau cov ntawv xov xwm, ua kev zoo siab rau 25 xyoos ntawm kev ua yeeb yam muaj tswv yim ntawm cov hnub thaum nws muaj 35 xyoos!

Tab sis tib lub sijhawm, kev nkag siab feem ntau hloov mus rau hauv kev xav, thiab xws li "kev lag luam pianism" tsis pom cov lus teb rau cov neeg tuaj saib. “Nws tsis cia suab paj nruag los ze nws dua li nws xav tias nws yog qhov ua tau; nws ib txwm nrog nws, nyob rau hauv txhua rooj plaub ntawm koj, ”hais tias ib tug ntawm cov neeg soj ntsuam Askiv. Txawm hais tias nyob rau hauv kev tshuaj xyuas ntawm ib tus kws kos duab "tus lej lej" - Beethoven's Fifth Concerto, ib tus tuaj yeem hla cov ntsiab lus no: "ua siab loj, tab sis tsis muaj kev xav", "tsis txaus siab tsis txaus ntseeg", "tsis txaus ntseeg thiab tsis txaus ntseeg". Ib tug ntawm cov neeg thuam, tsis yog tsis muaj irony, tau sau tias "Lill qhov kev ua si zoo ib yam li kev sau ntawv sau los ntawm tus kws qhia ntawv hauv tsev kawm ntawv: txhua yam zoo li yog qhov tseeb, xav tawm, raws nraim hauv daim ntawv, tab sis nws tsis muaj qhov xwm txheej thiab lub davhlau ntawd. , yam tsis muaj creativity yog tsis yooj yim sua, thiab kev ncaj ncees nyob rau hauv cais, zoo-executed fragments. Xav tias qee qhov tsis muaj kev xav, lub siab nyiam, tus kws kos duab qee zaum sim ua kom zoo dua rau qhov no - nws qhia txog cov ntsiab lus ntawm kev xav hauv nws txoj kev txhais lus, rhuav tshem cov ntaub ntawv nyob hauv suab paj nruag, tawm tsam nws tus kheej, zoo li nws yog. Tab sis xws li excursions tsis muab qhov xav tau. Nyob rau tib lub sijhawm, Lill cov ntaub ntawv tshiab tshaj plaws, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog cov ntaub ntawv kaw tseg ntawm Beethoven's sonatas, muab lub laj thawj los hais txog kev xav rau qhov tob ntawm nws daim duab, rau kev nthuav qhia ntau dua ntawm nws kev ua si.

Yog li, tus nyeem ntawv yuav nug, nws puas txhais tau tias John Lill tsis tau lees paub lub npe ntawm tus yeej ntawm Tchaikovsky Kev Sib Tw tsis tau? Lo lus teb tsis yooj yim li. Ntawm chav kawm, qhov no yog ib tug khoom, paub tab thiab txawj pianist uas tau nkag mus rau lub sij hawm ntawm nws muaj tswv yim vam meej. Tab sis nws txoj kev loj hlob nyob rau xyoo no tsis tau sai npaum li yav dhau los. Tej zaum, qhov laj thawj yog vim li cas tus nplai ntawm tus neeg ua yeeb yam tus kheej thiab nws cov keeb kwm tsis zoo tag nrho rau nws lub suab paj nruag thiab pianistic txuj ci. Txawm li cas los xij, nws tseem ntxov dhau los txiav txim siab zaum kawg - tom qab tag nrho, qhov ua tau ntawm John Lill nyob deb ntawm kev qaug zog.
