Pavao Mašić (Šibenik, 1980), winner of The Grand Prix Bach and Audience Prize at 2006 Bach Organ Competition of Lausanne actively pursues successful career of a concert organist and harpsichordist. Different aspects of his art include extensive interest in Baroque and Romantic music repertoire - especially music of J. S. Bach and French composers – which, combined with in-depth exploration and constant need for expression, result in rich, virtuosic and much admired performances. Since 1999, Pavao Mašić has been the Main Organist at St Mark's Church in Zagreb, and since 2008 he is Assistant Professor at Zagreb Academy of Music where he teaches new generations of organists and harpsichordists. He appears in recitals, performing at important concert venues throughout Europe and Russia. Upon graduation from Zagreb Academy of Music in organ, harpsichord and music theory, he pursued further organ studies at Haute Ecole de Musique in Lausanne where he graduated Soloistic Diploma Studies (cum laude) with Kei Koito. He also studied harpsichord and historical keyboard instruments with Dr. Robert Hill and Michael Behringer, graduating from the Musikhochschule in Freiburg im Br. He received additional artistic impulses from several important musicians including harpsichordists P. Hantaї, C. Rousset & S. Sempé, as well as organists D. Roth, L. F. Tagliavini, Ch. Bossert, A. Klobučar, T. Koopman and B. Bryndorf. More than 15 awards, both national and international, demonstrate the quality of his artistic work: he was laureate of the international organ competitions in Switzerland, Croatia and Spain; he was named The Best Young Croatian Artist in 2006, and in 2010 he won three prestigious prizes for his organ and harpsichord recitals at 40th Varaždin Baroque Evenings festival. His first CD 1685, with selection of music by Bach, Handel & Scarlatti won several prizes, among which The Best Croatian Classical Album (2011). Most recently, he was awarded with two most distinguished national prizes (Milka Trnina Award, City of Zagreb Award) for the performance of J. S. Bach's complete organ works together with organist Ante Knešaurek, part of which has been documented and released on their new CD 100% BACH in 2013.
Pavao Mašić (Šibenik, 1980.), dobitnik nagrade Grand Prix Bach i nagrade publike na Bachovom natjecanju orguljaša u Lausannei (2006.), razvija uspješnu karijeru koncertnog orguljaša i čembalista. Raznovrsni interesi njegovog umjetničkog djelovanja obuhvaćaju repertoar baroka i romantizma – s naglaskom na opusima J. S. Bacha i francuskih skladatelja - koji, u kombinaciji s temeljitim istraživačkim radom, kao i konstantnom potragom za što izražajnijim interpretacijama, rezultiraju upečatljivim, virtuoznim i vrlo cijenjenim nastupima. Od 1999. g. Pavao Mašić je glavni orguljaš u crkvi sv. Marka u Zagrebu, a od 2008. g. docent na Muzičkoj akademiji u Zagrebu gdje predaje novim generacijama orguljaša i čembalista. Redovito nastupa na važnim koncertnim pozornicama diljem Europe i Rusije. Nakon niza diploma na Muzičkoj akademiji u Zagrebu (orgulje, čembalo i glazbena teorija) nastavlja studij orgulja u Lausanni, gdje magistrira (cum laude) u klasi Kei Koito. Također studira čembalo i povijesne instrumente s tipkama u klasi dr. Roberta Hilla i Michaela Behringera u Freiburgu im Br. Dodatne umjetničke impulse prima radom s više istaknutih umjetnika, čembalista (P. Hantaї, C. Rousset & S. Sempé), te orguljaša (D. Roth, L. F. Tagliavini, Ch. Bossert, A. Klobučar, T. Koopman i B. Bryndorf). Više od 15 nacionalnih i međunarodnih nagrada svjedoče o kvaliteti njegovog umjetničkog rada: laureat je međunarodnih orguljaških natjecanja u Švicarskoj, Hrvatskoj i Španjolskoj; proglašen je najboljim mladim hrvatskim umjetnikom (2006.), a 2010. g. osvaja tri prestižne nagrade za solističke recitale na 40. Varaždinskim baroknim večerima. Njegov prvi CD 1685 s izborom glazbe Bacha, Handela & Scarlattija osvojio je nekoliko nagrada, te je proglašen najboljim hrvatskim albumom klasične glazbe (2011.). Od posljednjih uspjeha ističu se dvije nacionalne nagrade Milka Trnina, Nagrada grada Zagreba (2013.) za integralnu izvedbu orguljskog opusa J. S. Bacha zajedno s orguljašem Antom Knešaurekom, dio kojega je objavljen na njihovom novom albumu 100% BACH. |
