Об исполнителе (рус.) | About Artist (ru)

Михил Борстлап - голландский пианист и композитор, феномен в мире современного джаза. Он известен в первую очередь как пианист, сочетающий в своей манере возвышенное и земное, традиции и эксперимент, мощь и лирику. К тому же, он еще обозреватель журнала Esquire и замечательный композитор, пишущий для кино и сочинивший первую арабскую оперу 'Авиценна' по заказу эмира Катара (в 2006 году вышла его книга Opera in Qatar об этом удивительном приключении). Занятый творчеством музыкант находит время и для того, чтобы участвовать в борьбе против детской нищеты в странах третьего мира, против диабета и рака. Играть Борстлап начал в 4 года, с детства слушал записи импровизаций Оскара Питерсона и симфоний Густава Малера - его родители горячо любили музыку. До сих пор его неизменные герои - это Питерсон и Малер, но еще Гленн Гульд, и Святослав Рихтер, и Джо Завинул. Его способность электризовать зал не имеет себе равных. Но сам Борстлап признает, что в джазе важны не только адреналиновые атаки и риск. В джазе куда важнее ощущение абсолютной свободы. Для Борстлапа джаз и свобода - синонимы.
С выходом в 2014 году альбома Frames в творчестве Михила Борстлапа стало всё явственней проступать влияние неоклассики. Последовавшие за этим альбомы - Blue Seasons: Winter (2015), Arena (2016), Velvet (2017) и Georg (2018) - подтвердили постепенный отход Борстлапа от сугубо джазовых интерпретаций в сторону минимализма и современной классической музыки. Во время радиоинтервью с журналистом Френком ван дер Линденом Михил так высказался об избранном им новом направлении: 'Тень между двумя нотами - это то место, в котором я очень хотел бы быть'.
