I move away Perez Pouillieux is subject of the specialized press

It was second in the Competition of Universities of Music In addition was selected to participate in a course with sir Colin Davis

BERLIN. - After to have arrived for years at Germany, to continue its studies of orquestal direction and composition with the Hungarian teacher Peter Eötvös in the city of Karlsruhe, the young person I have been moving away Perez Pouillieux already has begun to gather in Europe the promising fruits of its dedication and talent. Today not only it counts on the privilege of being disciple of Eötvös, but that was, in addition, selected by the Musikhochschule de Karlsruhe like its only candidate for the national competition of the superior schools of music.

Distinction in Lübeck

In the city of Lübeck, during one week and next to other thirty postulantes, I move away Perez Pouillieux participated in the Competition of Universities of Music organized from 1952 by the Rektorenkonferenz der Musikhochschulen. This year the competition was dedicated to the heading of the orquestal direction and I move away, representing in the same one the institute of Karlsruhe, obtained the second of the prizes, that consist of the distinction, the direction of a symphonic concert and a sum of money. Whereas the Korean Cheng-Hua Jin (by Berlin) obtained first, and the German Cornelius Meister (by Hannover), third of the positions. In telephone dialogue with the NATION, the musician commented on his first experience in an aid of these characteristics: "I had to prepare many complete works," the Bohéme ", â. Symphony of Brahms, the "Egmont Overture" of Beethoven, the symphony 39a. of Mozart and "Prelude to the siesta of fauno" of Debussy, among others. Soon, in the closing concert, I directed to the Orchestra Filarmónica de Lübeck, with a symphony of Haydn. In the personnel, I tried to stay separated, did not want "to mix itself much" with the other candidates, mainly because there is a very great arrogance between the young directors and that attitude is something that hits too much to me. Between directors European, happen it speaking of this one or of that one, of which he happened to the position of fulano or the one of mengano, that are with such orchestra, etc. He is spoken very little of music and much of the internal ones of the positions. On the other hand, which yes I observed is much discipline and rigor in the work, although not as much talent. The test, of some way, is in the fact that those that we won we are a Korean and an Argentinean ".

In Dresden

Moving after the north to the east of Germany, this time in Dresden - the beautiful capital sajona to borders of the Elbe -, I move away was selected between more than 50 postulantes of 13 countries to participate in the second edition of a coveted course for young directors in charge of sir Colin Davis. Only 28 participants were invited to Dresden to discover some of the secrets of the art of the baton next to the ex- director of the Covent Garden; and from these last ones, only 8 arrived at the final round, which, as well, they left the chosen ones for the closing concert. "I move away Perez is counted between those eight privileged ones. Argentinean, although appears discreet and modest at first sight, when for in front of the orchestra, nevertheless, he is able to take an unexpected energy to him that bases the reason by which it arrived until the strictest selection ", emphasized the SŠchsiche Zeitung de Dresden, in his note referred to the prestigious course with the English teacher, who, with photo of I move away, -"director and composer on the verge of graduating in Karlsruhe and with 2° prize in Lübeck… that counts about its native Buenos Aires, its concerts with the Filarmónica, the famous Theater Columbus and his first order for an opera "-, places the Argentinean in the center of its attention. In a last paragraph, the daily mentioned one also announced the participation of Perez Pouillieux in the concert "of the best ones", for the closing in the Lukaskirche of that city, with a program integrated with works of Mozart, Haydn and Dvorak. In next August I move away will return to appear in the Theater Columbus to the front of the Filarmónica of Buenos Aires, and next it will make an attendance in the modern one Operates of the Bastille of Paris.
