Yuri Khanon Biography

Yuri Khanon is one of the most popular and richest Pianist who was born on June 16, 1965 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Yuri Khanon is not just a composer; he is also a writer, a philosopher, a painter, a studio pianist, and a botanist-selectionist. Khanon wrote almost all of his librettos and texts. His grandfather, Mikhail Savoyarov (comedian and actor) was very well-known in St.Petersburg, Petrograd, on the eve the Revolution of 1917.

The “Days of Eclipse”, a film about the eclipse, won the Euro-Oscar (“Felix Award”) of European Film Academy in West Berlin in November 1988 for the “Best Music” special nominated. Despite his immense success, Yuri Khanon did not return to music composition for cinema after 1991.

Khanon became famous in 1988–1991. During this period he composed soundtracks to three films, gave numerous concerts, had several appearances on TV and published a series of articles and interviews. Many of his performances yielded public scandals, especially his concerts “Music of Dogs” (Moscow, December 1988) and “Dried Embryos”, where he performed with Erik Satie (Leningrad, May 1991). In 1992 produced CD “Olympia” (England), symphonic works of Khanon (as a Yuri Khanin): “Five smallest orgasms”, “A Certain Concert for piano and orchestra” and “Middle Symphony”.

In 1988, in spite of an opposition of his old-fashioned professors, Yuri Khanon managed to graduate from the Leningrad Conservatory, specializing in composition. He named Erik Satie and Alexander Skryabin as his teachers and predecessors, worshipping their ideology and originality.

“Five Smallest Orgasms” oc.29 (1986), were created in direct response to Scriabin’s Poem of Ecstasy. A “Certain Concerto”, for piano and orchestra, oc.31 (1987), was written in the “false concerto” genre, concerto/deception. The listener is continually deceived and has his/her expectations crowned by emptiness. Khanin’s works are characterized by the theme of deception. “Middle Symphony” oc.40 (1990), which has a text by Khanin, is an extraordinary, large work that exhibits a very unnatural and affected structure. The canon ends with the three singers singing the same text backwards for 81 bar. It is almost absurd, and the text is quite complex. One must change one’s perception of the entire symphony that was just listened to. Does this discuss the disc’s subject? “I don’t know, I doubt it.”

«…Although Khanon calls Satie and Skryabin his teachers, it is not the music of these composers that attracts him but their tendency to link – some would say subordinate – their music to an idea. According to Khanon, a composer is an ideologist with regard to his musical material. Elements of play (both semantic and phonetic), paradox, the absurd and nonsense (word inversion and invention, pseudo-quotation and limerick) all lend Khanon’s aesthetic a desire to outrage the listener…»

“…Yuri Khanon is a doctrinaire and an adherent of canons. This means he is not a composer. For Khanon the art of composing music is just a way of expressing his dogmas. Other ways he uses are literature and performance. Khanon plays Erik Satie’s and Alexander Skryabin’s piano works for he sees them as his teachers, and he calls other composers “just some composers”.
