Héraclius Djabadary (17 October 1891 – 18 August 1937) was a Georgian-French pianist and composer.
Life and career
[edit]Héraclius Djabadary studied the piano with Arthur de Greef and the musicology with François-Auguste Gevaert in Brussels in 1905. He debuted in Vienna in 1913 as a concert pianist with the Tonkünstler Orchestra conducted by Oskar Nebdal, and where he performed his Georgian Rhapsody, which was a resounding success. After a brief return to Georgia in 1914, he settled permanently in France, with stays in Austria and Switzerland. In 1923 he gave a series of concerts in Paris. Hit by tuberculosis, he had to give up his activities in the early 1930s. He died in Nice in 1937.[1]
Musics
[edit]Most of his compositions are for solo piano (including the nocturnal C minor op 14), but we also owe him, besides the Georgian rhapsody op 2 (1913), a concerto for piano op 10 (1921), the chant of the Serpent for flute and orchestra op 19, Tiflisiana for oboe and orchestra op 26, as well as some chamber music, and the opera Gulnara on a libretto by Alexander Kazbegi (1919).
