IGOR

伊格IGOR——足迹遍布全球的俄罗斯籍萨克斯演奏家，拥有超拔的萨克斯演奏天赋和实力。伊格IGOR拥有萨克斯和单簧管演奏的高级学位，莫斯科和悉尼音乐节的大奖获得者，曾是举世闻名的猫王乐队T.C.B.巡演的其中一员，他的作品“Shelly Beach”(贝壳海滩)更是占据英国柔和爵士调频冠军位置达一年之久。
伊格开始演奏萨克斯是在莫斯科读高中的时候，当他以优异的成绩毕业于俄罗斯的音乐学院，伊格开始了他的第一场专业演出——为被尊为俄罗斯CHANEL小姐的巨星lrina Ponarovskaya作萨克斯独奏。此后伊格每周和莫斯科顶级艺术家合作音乐节目并在全国范围电视网中播出，这使得伊格在俄罗斯家喻户晓。在莫斯科成名后伊格移居澳大利亚，并迅速建立起自己的声誉，被公认为澳洲最多才多艺的艺术家。2003年3月他的专辑《你和我》在悉尼和意大利的贝加莫录制发行，其精湛的演奏和多变的风格旋即在澳洲等地刮起喜爱萨克斯的狂潮。继《你和我》之后他不断推出新的专辑，以深情细腻、飘逸流畅的曲风迅速敲响了欧美乐坛的大门。
很少的萨克斯演奏家敢于尝试Kenny G的风格，而伊格凭借他高超的演奏技巧和对音乐情感超强的把握，不仅融合了他的风格，更树立了自己崭新的音乐形象。他舍弃了Kenny G总在音乐中加入许多不必要音符的方式，以清晰却丰满的旋律，将音乐内部的情感更加自如的流露出来，其演奏干净饱满、顺滑流畅，旋律感极强。作为独奏家现场演出是其极为重要的一部分，伊格柔和的JAzz风格萨克斯演奏活跃在全世界重要的节日庆典及音乐会上，无论是作品还是即兴演奏他都能游刃有余完美演绎。伊格强调音乐是生活的反映。他的音乐在各种风格都有极为丰富的表现，或深情细腻，或摇曳飘逸，或穿行于手鼓翻敲的孟买街头，或萦绕在翩翩起舞的JAzz大厅。他把生活的每一份美好沉醉在娴熟流畅的演奏中，飘洒给你……
It’s been over 20 years since IGOR exploded onto the Sydney music scene as an in-demand touring saxophonist with Top Australian and International Artists. Since then, IGOR has fast established a reputation of being one of the country’s most versatile and sought after musicians with his albums achieving gold sales status.
Over the years IGOR shared the stage with names such as Engelbert Humperdinck, TCB band “taking care of business” (This is what Elvis Presley called his band), Branford Marsalis, Modern Talking, The Cockroaches (The Wiggles), Ken Davis, Soso Pavliashvili, Irina Ponarovskaya and more.
In 1998, his first solo album, simply entitled, IGOR, was produced, and a new era in his musical career was launched. This debut self-titled solo album of original material takes his music and his sax to places uncharted. Becoming a solo artist has led to the growing demand to perform live. IGOR’s funked out smooth and silky saxophone has been heard at many major festivals, concert halls, and jazz clubs worldwide.
Making his home in Sydney, IGOR spends his time composing in his custom-designed recording studio, scuba diving, snorkeling and swimming. IGOR is renowned for being a unique entertainer and when not touring with his own band, he is touring Asia Pacific appearing as a special guest with Australian artists. These tours started IGOR’s love-affair with that region of the globe. “There is nothing more fun or inspiring than playing live with incredible musicians in front of thousands of people”. Firmly believing that each of his recordings should be a musical reflection of his life, IGOR celebrates this new millennium, with its new challenges and opportunities for his constantly expanding and reinventing musical style with the jubilant and life affirming excitement of his new albums.
