傅聪

生平

傅聰於1934年3月10日上海的花園新村出生，他的父親是翻譯傢傅雷。傅聰三、四歲的時候，已經表現出過人的音樂天分。他七歲半開始學習鋼琴，拜意大利指揮傢、鋼琴傢梅百器為師。梅百器是李斯特的再傳弟子。傅聰在其門下受教三年。傅聰於1951年再拜蘇籍鋼琴傢勃隆斯丹夫人（Ada Bronstein）為師。

1952年2月，18歲的傅聰與上海交響樂團合作，作了首次的公開表演，引起了國內音樂界的註意。1953年，傅聰被選中參加在羅馬尼亞舉行的第四屆世界青年與學生和平友誼聯歡節的鋼琴比賽。同年7月，傅聰首次出國，到羅馬尼亞參賽，得到了三等奬。比賽後，傅聰隨團訪問德國和波蘭，在波蘭多次演奏蕭邦的作品，得到當地音樂傢的認同。1955年，傅聰獲邀參加在華沙舉行的第五屆蕭邦國際鋼琴比賽，最後得到第三名和“瑪祖卡”奬，成為首位在國際性鋼琴比賽中獲奬的中國音樂傢。 蕭邦國際鋼琴比賽結束後，傅聰留在波蘭學習鋼琴，直到1958年底提前畢業。這期間，傅聰曾於1956年的8至10月返回中國休假，在北京舉行了個人獨奏會，在上海與上海交響樂團合作，舉行了莫札特協奏麯音樂會。1958年12月傅聰離開波蘭，沒有按計劃回到中國大陸，而是移居英國倫敦。這在當時的中國大陸被看作叛逃行為。1981年平反。

在六、七十年代的二十年間，傅聰舉行了約2,400場獨奏音樂會；與包括梅紐因、丹尼爾·巴倫博伊姆、鄭京和等在內的許許多多國際著名演奏傢合作過；錄製了約50張唱片；擔任過蕭邦國際鋼琴比賽、比利時伊麗莎白皇太後國際音樂比賽以及挪威、意大利、瑞士、葡萄牙、東南亞等國傢和地區的音樂比賽的評委；演奏的足跡遍及幾乎整個歐洲、美洲、中東、東南亞、日本、大洋洲各地。

1979年，傅聰在中央音樂學院舉行了音樂會。之後，他幾乎每年都回國演奏、講學，已經到過北京、上海、西安、成都、昆明等地。主講過蕭邦、莫札特、德彪西等專題，演奏過這些作麯傢的以及舒伯特等人的作品。他還與中央樂團合作，演奏了貝多芬的協奏麯；與中央音樂學院大學生樂隊合作，演奏了莫札特的協奏麯，並兼任指揮；還專門指導過中央音樂學院附中室內樂小組的訓練。

Fou Ts'ong or Fu Cong (Chinese: 傅聰; pinyin: Fù Cōng; 10 March 1934 – 28 December 2020) was a Chinese pianist. One of the first Chinese pianists to achieve international fame, Fou was especially acclaimed for his interpretations of the music of Frédéric Chopin. He has been noted by The New York Times for his "sensitive ear for color", "elusive gift of melody", and his "impetuous spirit".

Life and career

Mario Paci (second row center) with his colleagues and students in Shanghai, 1945. In the front row are two of his youngest students: Fou Ts'ong (front left) and Wu Yili (front right).

Fou Ts'ong was born in Shanghai on 10 March 1934 to a family of intellectuals; his father was the translator Fu Lei. Fou first studied piano with Mario Paci, the Italian founder of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra. In 1953, Fou moved to Europe to continue his training at the State Higher School of Music in Warsaw (at present Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw) with Zbigniew Drzewiecki, where he impressed his professors with his grasp of the mazurka rhythm. His mastery was confirmed when he won 3rd prize and the special Mazurka Prize at the 1955 International Chopin Piano Competition.

In 1958, Fou moved to London. He made his debut with the New York Philharmonic under Paul Paray in Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2 (Op. 21) in November 1961. A performing and teaching career that took him throughout the world continued, and he was especially acclaimed for his interpretations of Chopin. Hermann Hesse proclaimed him to be the only true performer of the composer's work. Among Fou's friends are the fellow pianists Martha Argerich, Leon Fleisher and Radu Lupu, who, acknowledging his influence upon their musical development, were "obliged to Fou Ts'ong for all his new ideas and for opening new musical horizons for all of us."

He was a member of the Queen Elisabeth Music Competition's jury in 1991, 1999 and 2007.

From 1960 to 1969, he was married to Zamira Menuhin, the daughter of Yehudi Menuhin, and they had one son. Their marriage ended in divorce. He later married the Chinese pianist Patsy Toh. He lived in London.

Fou's parents Fu Lei and Zhu Meifu were persecuted during the Cultural Revolution and committed suicide in September 1966. Fou Ts'ong had a brother named Fu Min.

Fou died of COVID-19 in London on 28 December 2020 at age 86.
