En España, el CD de Mikhail Pochekin está recomendado como N.º 1 del mes de febrero en la revista Ritmo y es disco 5 estrellas de la revista Melómano del mes de abril e igualmente ha sido elogiado en la prestigiosa revista Scherzo del mes de mayo. Distintas emisoras de radio como la ORF/Ö1 de Viena, Orpheus en Moscú, HR2 en Frankfurt o NDR-Kultur en Hamburgo destacaron este álbum como el mejor disco de la semana o del día.
Durante los primeros meses de 2019, el álbum «J.S. Bach – 6 Sonatas y partitas para violín Solo BWV 1001-1006» se ha presentado en conciertos en Berlin, Hamburgo, Munich, Moscu… Para la grabación de este CD se empleó un violín construido por famoso lutier de Venecia Francesco Gobetti en 1720, año en que Bach compuso también este ciclo de música para violín solo.

«A Mikhail Pochekin lo conocí una fría mañana de nieve en Madrid. Era febrero de 2018 y tenía que cubrir para la revista Scherzo el recital que Pochekin ofrecía junto al grandísimo pianista Yuri Favorin en la Fundación Juan March. Al terminar el recital, acudí al camerino y Mikhail, con esa mirada de ojos de gato tan profunda como sus interpretaciones musicales, me habló con admiración de su hermano Ivan (fantástico violista y violinista también). Tras meses de gira por Rusia y Europa, el destino volvió a unirnos en Becerril de la Sierra, donde su padre, Yuri Pochekin, lutier de renombre internacional, tiene su taller. De ese pequeño taller de la sierra madrileña han salido buena parte de los violines con los que Mikhail ofrece sus recitales. Mikhail es un violinista de musicalidad emocionante, de técnica impresionante y de profunda visión interpretativa; inteligente —habla ruso, español, inglés y alemán—, campechano y entusiasta. Tiene las cosas muy claras y uno de sus objetivos es que todo tipo de personas se acerquen a la música clásica.
El proyecto más importante de Mikhail Pochekin hasta el momento es la grabación de las Sonatas y Partitas BWV 1001-1006 de Johann Sebastian Bach. Interpretar estas obras es un reto para cualquier violinista, y para Mikhail ha sido también un camino largo y difícil en el que ha ido descubriendo su propia voz: primero aprendes a tocar unas obras de extrema dificultad, luego las haces tuyas y, después, tu corazón se adueña de ellas y la música crece contigo. Mikhail opina que la música clásica permanecerá siempre con nosotros: “Bach no existe físicamente desde 1750, pero su música existirá mientras haya seres humanos en este planeta. La música no solo nos hace disfrutar, sino también pensar sobre la vida, sobre la eternidad”. Los músicos tienen el privilegio y el don de estar siempre tocando la eternidad. Los seres humanos somos especiales por artistas como Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Shakespeare, Pushkin, Rafael. Y es eso, precisamente, lo que nos diferencia de los animales.» – Michael Thallium
Aquí el vídeo oficial grabado en St. Ludwig en Berlin-Wilmersdorf con subtítulos disponibles en español:
Tú, lector, que hasta aquí has llegado, si alguna vez tienes la suerte de ver tocar en directo a Mikhail Pochekin, acércate y habla con él, déjate engatusar con su mirada profunda. Comprobarás que detrás del artista que toca la eternidad y emociona con sonidos, hay también un ser humano, como tú y yo, de conversación amena que habla con palabras y es cercano y es amigo.

«I first met Mikhail Pochekin on a cold Sunday morning of snow in Madrid. It was back in February 2018 and I had to cover for the Spanish music magazine Scherzo Pochekin’s recital accompanied by the great pianist Yury Favorin —his Prokofiev’s interpretations have no equal— at Fundación Juan March. When the recital was over, I made for the artist’s dressing room and Mikhail, with those cat eyes of his, as profound as profound his music performances are, talked about his brother Ivan with admiration. They both had just recorded a CD and he gave me a copy as a present to listen to. And that was what I did: listening to it attentively and with delight. After some months touring around Russia and Europe, destiny made us meet again in Becerril de la Sierra, a little town near Madrid, Spain, where Pochekin’s parents have been living for some years already. Mikhail invited me to see his dad’s workshop. Yuri Pochekin is an internationally renowned luthier who has just turned 70 this year. Most of the violins with which the Pochekin brothers play at their recitals have come out of this little workshop. Mikhail Pochekin is a violinist of exciting musicality, impressive technique and deep musical insight; intelligent —he speaks Russian, Spanish, English and German—, friendly and enthusiastic. When it comes down to music, things are clear to him. One of his aims is to bring classical music closer to people of all walks of life.
Mikhail Pochekin’s most important project so far is Bach. He has just recorded the whole sonatas and partitas for violin by the German composer, which will be soon released as a double CD. Playing these works is a challenge for any violinist. And it has been a long and difficult way for Mikhail as well. He has been discovering his own voice over the years: “first you learn this extremely difficult pieces, then you make them your own and then your heart takes over them and the music grows within you”, he says. Mikhail thinks classical music will always stay with us: “Bach does not physically exist since 1750, but his music will exist as long as there are human beings on this planet Earth. We do not only enjoy music, music also makes us think about life, think about eternity. Somehow, we musicians are always playing eternity. And we people are especial thanks to artists like Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Shakespeare, Pushkin or Rafael. And this is what makes us different from animals.” – Michael Thallium
Here you are the official video recorded at St. Ludwig in Berlin-Wilmersdorf:
You, dear reader, if you have just read these lines, and if you ever have the chance to see Mikhail Pochekin play live, come up to him —don’t be shy— and talk to him, let his profound cat eyes take over you. You will see that behind the artist who plays eternity and moves you with sounds, there is also a human being like you and me, a human being who loves to talk with words, someone who is close and friendly.
