Vladimír Večtomov (February 2, 1946 – October 12, 2015〔) was a Czech classical guitarist.〔Macías Mora, R., ''Las Seis Cuerda de la Guitarra'' (Guadalajara: Ramón Macías Mora, 2001), (p. 222 ).〕 He studied at Prague Conservatory under Prof. Štěpán Urban, 1964–'68, and gave his first concert at the age of 17. He concluded his studies in Mexico with a concert at Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City. In 1973 he performed as a soloist in Bergen, Norway, with Slovak Chamber Orchestra. In 1974 he performed Bach's catalog in London to notable acclaim. From 1972 to '76 he was a professor at Prague Conservatory. In 1970, on return to Czechoslovakia from Mexico, Večtomov formed Prague String Duo with his brother, cellist Saša Večtomov. The duo's many appearances outside Czechoslovakia—filling concert halls in the USSR, USA, Great Britain, Mexico, Norway, Portugal and many other countries〔L. S., "Fin-fin konsert med Prague String Duo," ''Demokraten'', Mar. 5, 1974.〕—established them internationally. A salient feature of the duo's repertory was its focus on Iberian composers, whom they favored owing to the national character of the accompanying instrument and the fact that Vladimír had for years studied on a Mexican government scholarship under guitarist Prof. Manuel López Ramos in Mexico City.〔López Ramos, M., (voz interior del hombre: memorias de un guitarrista'' ) (Mexico City: Imprenta Venecia, 2003).〕〔Bekkevold, E., "Konsert i Kauffeldtgården," ''Samhold/Velgeren'', Mar. 9, 1974.〕 In addition to old masters (e.g., Haydn, Eccles, Maria Theresia von Paradis), and modern and sometimes local ones (Granados, Janáček), the brothers Večtomov performed music by contemporary composers including their father, Prof. Ivan Večtomov, who, moreover, wrote all of their arrangements.〔Cruise, M., "Some enchanted evening with the Prague String Duo in Huddersfield Town Hall Music Society recital: Sounds so pure and charming," ''Huddersfield Daily Examiner'', Feb. 19, 1974.〕 According to Mexican journalist Isabel Farfán Cano, Janáček's ''Fairy Tale'' was a brilliant staple of the duo's concert programs. Further, writes Cano of a particular concert in 1976, "the harmony of both instruments in creating sound coloration and tones was complemented by technical security, gradual and protruding."〔Cano, I. F., "Dúo de Cuerdas Praguense," ''Revista de América'', Apr. 10, 1976.〕 Phonograph recordings of Večtomov have been issued on the Supraphon, Panton, and Melodiya labels. In 1982 Večtomov accepted an invitation to join the faculty of Keski-Suomen konservatorio (later renamed Jyväskylän ammattikorkeakoulu), in Jyväskylä, Finland, where he continued to teach until 1998.〔Laurila, J. M., ''Keski-Suomen konservatorio 1948-1999'' (Jyväskylä: Keski-Suomen konservatorion säätiö, 2000).〕 He then returned to Prague and taught at Základní Umělecká Škola Lounských.〔Anon., ''Who is...? (v České republice)'' (Zug: Who is Who, Verlag für Personenenzyklopädien, 2002), p. 865.〕 ==Misc.== Večtomov's conservatory days are recounted in fellow pupil František Ringo Čech's 1983 memoir ''Z mého života''.〔Čech, F. R., & Jiránek, V. (illus.), ''Z mého života'' (Mladá Boleslav: Nakl. Šebek & Pospíšil, 1991).〕 His instrument was a Masaru Kohno Luthier, Tokyo, Model 20 1974 (string length: 660mm). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vladimír Večtomov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
