Thailand International Guitar Festival & Competition 2006
Zoran Dukic (1969. Zagreb)
was presented with a guitar at the early age of six. Today he is one of the most distinguished classical guitarists of our time. His concert performances, both as a soloist or with an orchestra, leave long-lasting impressions on audiences and critics alike.
He graduated from the Music Academy in Zagreb with Darko Petrinjak and completed his studies with Hubert K?ppel at the Hochschule f?r Musik in Cologne. Costas Cotsiolis and the "Volos Guitar Festival" played an essential role in the early development of his international career.
In his "tour de force" competition years (1990-1997) Zoran Dukic has won an astonishing number of competitions, more than any other guitarist in the world. He is the only guitarist to have won both "Andr?s Segovia" competitions, in Granada and in Palma de Mallorca. Showing astounding mastery in a wide variety of musical periods and styles he has also won competitions dedicated to "Fernando Sor", "Manuel Ponce", "Manuel de Falla", "Francisco T?rrega" among others. In the greatest Spanish guitar competition in Madrid, patronized by the Royal Family, he was awarded, in addition to the first prize, the special prize for the best interpretation of Spanish music (first time awarded to a non-Spaniard). In numerous competitions he was selected by the audience itself for the prize of the public, a self-evident testimony to his natural ability to communicate through music.
His performances throughout the 5 continents have inspired numerous composers to dedicate their works to him. His premiers of new music are strengthened by his admiration of contemporary musical expression. His programs include works by Takemitsu, Henze, Reily, Carter or Gubaidulina among many others. He has also toured with entire Bach programs, performing complete cycles of lute, violin or cello suites. Music by J. S. Bach is still the focal point of his musical life.
It is almost an understatement to mention his special affinity for Spanish and South American musical idiom, the core repertoire of classical guitar. Currently, his carefully balanced programs present a range of music from Bach to Britten, from Sor to Alb?niz, from T?rrega to Villa-Lobos and Brouwer.
Being exceptionally enthusiastic and dedicated to teaching, his pedagogical activities are equally impressive. He has taught at the Zagreb Music Academy and Hochschule F?r Musik in Aachen and is currently teaching at the Royal Conservatory of Music in The Hague and at the Escuela Superior de Musica in Barcelona. He has educated generations of young classical guitarists and has one of the most successful classes in Europe. In addition to this, he regularly gives masterclasses all over the world and is often an invited guest to numerous guitar festivals. Zoran Dukic is also a very active chamber music performer and a founding member of the Trio de Cologne. He has recorded compact discs for labels in Germany, Spain and Belgium.

16. Februar 2001 Stadttheater, Aschaffenburg Aschaffenburger Gitarrentage 2001 Werke u. a. von Johann Sebastian Bach, Miguel Llobet, Manuel M. Ponce, Leo Brower Zoran Dukic, Gitarre Zoran Dukic - Noble Kammermusik auf sechs Saiten Beeindruckendes Finale der Aschaffenburger Gitarrentage Von Ingo Negwer Im Alter von nur 21 Jahren gewann der kroatische Gitarrist Zoran Dukic den Internationalen Gitarrenwettbewerb in Mettmann (1991). Eine Reihe weiterer Erfolge bei renommierten Wettbewerben folgten, u. a. ein 1. Preis sowohl beim "Andrés Segovia International Guitar Comp." auf Mallorca (1992) als auch beim "A. Segovia International Competition" in Granada (1996). In Aschaffenburg gestaltete Zoran Dukic, der nach Studien in seiner Heimatstadt Zagreb sein Konzertexamen bei Hubert Käppel an der Kölner Musikhochschule ablegte, nun das Abschlusskonzert der diesjährigen Gitarrentage. Mit einem äußerst anspruchsvollen Programm stellte er im Stadttheater unter Beweis, dass er zurecht zu den führenden Gitarristen der jüngeren Generation gezählt wird. Den Auftakt machte Dukic mit einer stilsicheren Interpretation der Sonata BWV 1001 von Johann Sebastian Bach. Das Werk, das - original für Violine solo - längst zum Standardrepertoire für die klassische Gitarre gehört, war bei Dukic in den besten Händen: Mit scheinbar spielerischer Leichtigkeit gestaltete er die Verzierungen im Adagio, transparent und dennoch frisch die Fuge, ehe er die Sonata im Anschluss an eine lyrisch dargebotene Siciliana mit dem effektvollen Presto ausklingen ließ. Zoran Dukic pflegt einen unaufdringlichen, noblen Gitarrenton. Dass er zu virtuosem Spiel mühelos in der Lage ist, stellte er bereits im Schluss-Satz der Bachschen Sonate unter Beweis. Weitere Kostproben sollten noch folgen, beispielsweise in den lateinamerikanisches Temperament versprühenden Fünf Stücke aus Venezuela von Vicente Emilio Sojo. Dennoch vermeidet Dukic jede aufgesezte, nach purem Effekt strebende Virtuosität. Sein Umgang mit dem Instrument ist stets getragen von quasi intimer Sensibilität. Mustergültig in dieser Hinsicht waren seine Interpretationen der Fünf katalanischen Volksweisen von Miguel Llobet. Mit Manuel M. Ponces komplexem Thème varié et Final eröffnete Dukic den zweiten Teil seines Konzerts. Die Sonata des kubanischen Komponisten Leo Brouwer schloss sich an. Dukic formte die drei Sätze des Werks, das nur noch entfernt an die klassische Gattungsvorlage erinnert, zu nuancenreichen atmosphärischen Klangbildern. Mit den effektvollen, orientalisch anmutenden Sechs Balkan Miniaturen von Dusan Bogdanovic setzte Zoran Dukic den Schlusspunkt unter den offiziellen Teil seines Konzerts. Zwei Zugaben von Tárrega und Ponce schlossen sich an. Doch das begeisterte Publikum entließ den Solisten erst nach einer humorvollen Wiedergabe der Titelmusik aus dem Film "Der dritte Mann".
