Biography
https://gugnin.com/biography
Andrey Gugnin was born in 1987. Natalia Smirnova laid what was to become the foundations for Andrey Gugnin to pursue the career of a concert pianist, which enabled him to study with Olga Mechetina, Valery Kastelsky and Lev Naumov and later with Vera Gornostayeva at the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatoire, whereupon since 2016 he has continued his studies with Stanislav Ioudenitch and William Naboré at the International Piano Academy Lake Como.
In 2013 Andrey Gugnin won the 2nd prize at the Ludwig van Beethoven International Piano Competition in Vienna, while 2014 brought him the Gold Medal and the Audience Award at the XVI International Gina Bachauer Piano Competition, followed by the 1st prize at the Sydney International Piano Competition in 2016, taking the accolades for best overall concerto, best 19th or 20th century concerto, best violin and piano sonata and best preliminaries within one recital.
Subsequently, he received an invitation to appear with maestro Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
He has collaborated with the State Academic Symphony Orchestra of Russia, the Mariinsky Orchestra, the Moscow State Academic Symphony Orchestra, the Jerusalem Camerata, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, the Tokyo New City Orchestra, The Netherlands Symphony Orchestra, the Asko | Schönberg Ensemble and the Camerata Salzburg.
Gugnin's versatility puts him very much in the spotlight as a recitalist, chamber music partner and a soloist with orchestras in more than twenty countries, performing at Vienna’s Musikverein, Carnegie Hall in New York, Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City, Sydney Opera House, the Eastman School of Music, the Great Hall of the Moscow State Conservatoire, the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall in Moscow, the Mariinsky Concert Hall, the Thailand Cultural Centre, the Louvre in Paris, the Zagreb Opera House, the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space and Asahi Hamarikyu Hall to name but a fraction of this expanding list of venues.
In Takebe-cho, Okayama City in Japan, his recital so motivated the public and the organisers in 2016 that, soon after the concert, a festival for chamber music was established – the Takebe-cho Chamber Music Festival – Gugnin and Friends, which was continued in October 2017.
He is very much in demand as a studio artist, with recordings of piano concerti by Shostakovich together with the State Academic Chamber Orchestra of Russia (Delos International, 2007), music for the piano duo iDuo (together with Vadim Kholodenko, Delos International, 2010) and a recital programme (Steinway & Sons) with Pictures from an Exhibition receiving rave reviews from the public. His recording of concerti by Shostakovich was used on the soundtrack of Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-winning film Bridge of Spies. Andrey Gugnin has also recorded for TV and radio in Russia, The Netherlands, Croatia, Austria, Switzerland and the USA. Gugnin will be recording for Hyperion in 2018, preceded by a recent additional invitation from Piano Classics in 2017.
The 2017–2018 season features chamber music performances in Adelaide (Australia), the Malta Festival, the Bard and Newport Festivals (USA) and concerts in the UK with violinist Tasmin Little. Andrey will be touring throughout Australia and New Zealand as the winner of the coveted Sydney International Competition.

Ovo su ruski pijanist i "bomba" iz busa zbog koje je Bregana bila u blokadi

SLOVENSKA policija detaljno je opisala što se jutros događalo na graničnom prijelazu Bregana koji je satima bio blokiran za sav promet te zbog čega je izbila panika. A u isto je vrijeme i mladi ruski pijanist na svom Facebook profilu napisao što se dogodilo te je objavio sliku uređaja za koji su policajci mislili da je bomba. Radi se o bluetooth uređaju, odnosno pedali za iPad koja okreće notne stranice.
I was held on the border between Slovenia and Croatia. Policemen made me hold my hands behind the back and threw me on the ground face down. The border was closed for two hours, and long lines of cars formed on the both sides. They interrogated my girlfriend separately and didn’t let her see me. She called the Russian consulate in Lublana where they told her they cannot find anything out at the moment since the police doesn’t give any explanations. They held me for over two hours in handcuffs, hands behind my back, explaining nothing.
As it emerged, the scanning machine at the security checkpoint identified in my bag something that looked like a bomb. Literally - with detonators and all of that. The police didn’t have the right to open my luggage, and they called for an expert from Ljubljana. When he arrived, it emerged that they talked about a Bluetooth pedal for my iPad. Namely, about a device I use for my work to turn music score pages (in my case - AirTurn 105). This pedal has many parts that for the X-ray look very suspicious.
I want to warn my colleague musicians about it so they would avoid such unpleasant incidents. Carry these pedals only in carry on bags. When all of it became clear, the policemen were glad no less than I. They apologized, brought me coffee, and were very friendly. They showed me a photo from the X-ray machine and explained what exactly on the inside of the pedal looks like detonators, batteries, and sim-cards. To be honest, I’d think the same and do the same being in their position.
Be aware, colleagues!
Граница была закрыта на два часа, с обеих сторон образовались многокилометровые пробки. Мою девушку допрашивали отдельно и не пускали ко мне. Она звонила в консульство России в Любляне, где ей сказали, что не могут пока ничего выяснить, так как полицейские ничего не объясняют.
Меня держали в наручниках, с руками за спиной, ничего не объясняя, более двух часов. Позже выяснилось, что при security check, рентген увидел в моем багаже нечто, очень напоминающее бомбу. Буквально - с детонатором и всем прочим. Полицейские не имели права сами вскрывать мой багаж, был вызван эксперт из Любляны. Когда он прибыл, быстро выяснилось, что речь идёт о педали от айпеда. То есть о механизме, который я, как и многие музыканты, использую в работе, чтобы переворачивать страницы нот. (В моем случае — AirTurn 105). Изнутри эта педаль снабжена различными деталями, которые на рентгене выглядят очень подозрительно.
Я хочу предупредить коллег музыкантов об этом, чтобы они могли избежать таких неприятных инцидентов. Возите педали исключительно в ручной клади и сразу доставайте ее во время security check. Когда все выяснилось, полицеские были обрадованы не меньше моего, они очень извинялись, принесли мне кофе и вели себя очень по-человечески. Они показали мне фотографию с рентгена, подробно объяснили, что именно внутри педали выглядит как детонатор, батарея, и симкарта. Могу сказать, что, если честно, на их месте я бы поступил точно так же.Будьте осторожны, коллеги!
Gugnin je na svom Facebook profilu napisao kako je danas zadržan na granici Slovenije i Hrvatske, da su ga bacili na tlo s licem prema dolje i ruke stavili na iza leđa. "Moju djevojku su ispitivali posebno i nisu joj dozvolili da me vidi. Ona je zvala ruski konzulat u Ljubljani, no rekli su joj da trenutno ne mogu ništa učiniti jer policija još ništa ne govori. Više od dva sata držali su me s lisicama na rukama bez ikakvog objašnjenja.
Problem je bio što policija nije imala pravo ni dozvolu otvoriti moju prtljagu, već su morali čekati stručnjake iz Ljubljane.
Kada su shvatili da moja pedala nije bomba, ispričali su se, ponudili me kavom, objasnili mi i pokazali zašto su mislili da se radi o opasnoj napravi... Da budem iskren, i sam bih pomislio da je to bomba da sam bio u njihovoj poziciji", napisao je između ostalog Gugnin.
Evo što su rekli iz slovenske policije
Jutros oko 8:30 FlixBusov je autobus, koji je iz Zagreba krenuo za Torino, stigao na granični prijelaz. U autobusu je bilo 45 putnika, a policajac je naredio temeljitu graničnu provjeru koja je uključivala i rendgenski pregled prtljage.
U jednom od putnih kovčega otkriven je uređaj s električnim napajanjem koji je po obliku i karakteristikama nalikovao eksplozivnoj napravi s mehanizmom za paljenje. Kako je kasnije pojasnio glasnogovornik Policijske uprave Novo Mesto, taj uređaj služi za uštimavanje klavira.
No, čim je uređaj uočen na snimci, snimka je poslana na procjenu te je potvrđeno da se radi o sumnjivom objektu zbog čega je bilo potrebno sve blokirati i proglasiti mjere sigurnosti za putnike u autobusu, na graničnom prijelazu, kao i svo osoblje na graničnom prijelazu.
Granični prijelaz je odmah evakuiran, a promet autocestom prema Obrežju je zatvoren. Putnici su bili preusmjereni prema drugim graničnim prijelazima.
Kako pišu dalje Slovenske novice, pozivajući se na policijske izvore, oko 11 sati pirotehničari su pregledali sumnjivi predmet i utvrdili da nije opasan.
Istražitelji su također dovršili očevid te je u 11:25 32-godišnjak kojemu je pripadao kovčeg pušten.
Negdje u isto vrijeme pušten je i promet ne Bregani.
Da je stvar shvaćena vrlo ozbiljno, svjedoči i velik broj policijskih službenika, interventne policije, vatrogasaca i hitne koji su bili na mjestu događaja. Oko 12 sati svi su napustili granični prijelaz i promet je konačno počeo teći normalno.
"Današnji događaj na Obrežju potvrdio je visoku razinu spremnosti i odgovornosti slovenske policije za zaštitu schengenske granice. Nakon otkrivanja sumnjivog predmeta odmah su reagirale sve nadležne službe u skladu s unaprijed utvrđenim postupcima u svom području", kazali su iz slovenske policije.
