Peter Jablonski
Peter Jablonski is a pianist with a strong commitment to contemporary music in addition to traditional repertory. He has commissioned and performed new works and has also been active as a conductor.
Jablonski was born on February 25, 1971, in Lyckeby in far southeastern Sweden. His father was Polish, and his mother was Swedish. He had an early interest in jazz, and at age nine, he played drums at the famed Village Vanguard jazz club in New York. In 1982, Jablonski enrolled at the Malmö Conservatory, studying not only piano but also percussion and playing jazz as well as classical music. In the latter field, he made his debut at 12 in Sweden, playing Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 17 in G major, K. 453. Jablonski moved to London in 1989 to study piano, conducting, and composition at the Royal College of Music. He was signed to the Decca label in 1991 and released his debut album, a recording of Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy. He continued to record for Decca through the late 1990s.
For many years Jablonski toured with and recorded traditional 19th and early 20th century repertory, much of it Russian; he recorded cycles of the Prokofiev piano sonatas and the Tchaikovsky concertos. He has given more than 2,000 concerts and performed as a soloist with more than 150 orchestras. Jablonski is especially popular in Japan, where he has toured some 25 times. Between 1997 and 2006, there was a hiatus in Jablonski's recording career, but he recorded several albums in the late 2000s decades for Altara Records. In the West, he has appeared with such major ensembles as the Philadelphia and Cleveland Orchestras and the BBC Symphony Orchestra, performing under conductors, including Andris Nelsons, Riccardo Chailly, and Esa-Pekka Salonen.
Increasingly, Jablonski has featured contemporary music in his programming, working with such composers as Arvo Pärt and Witold Lutosławski and often giving premieres of new works. These have included the Piano Concerto of Wojciech Kilar, with which he took the Orpheus Award for a performance of a new work at the Warsaw Autumn Festival, and, in 2021, the Piano Concerto of Patrick Hawes, of which he was the dedicatee, at the Enescu Festival Bucharest, Romania. Jablonski has occasionally been active as a conductor, making his debut in that role with the Sibelius Symphony No. 1 in E minor, Op. 39, with the Krakow Philharmonic Orchestra in 2008. In 2020, Jablonski moved to the Ondine label and released an album of the complete mazurkas of Scriabin. He followed that up in 2022 with an album devoted to the rarely heard keyboard music of Grazyna Bacewicz, and he has served as an ambassador for the DONNE Foundation, devoted to promoting the work of women in music.
