САВА ДИМИТРОВ
Кларинетист, педагог

Основоположник на българската кларинетна школа.

Роден в Попово.
Проф. Сава Димитров започва преподавателската си дейност в Държавната музикална академия (днес Национална музикална академия „Проф. Панчо Владигеров“) от 1945 г., през 1951 г. става доцент, а от 1955 г. e професор.

Пръв въвежда в България кларинетите от системата „Бьом“ и на нейната основа създава оригинален български метод за обучение по кларинет и необходимата нотна литература. Методът му е залегнал в основата на няколко други национални школи.

Носител на награди от международните конкурси за кларинет в Женева, Будапеща и др.
• Първият източноевропейски професор, поканен за участие в Голямото жури на конкурса за кларинетисти в Женева. Участва в журита на много български и международни конкурси.
• Първият български изпълнител на духови инструменти, солист на Софийската филхармония, който изпълнява Концерт № 1 – фа минор от Вебер.
• Първият български изпълнител на духови инструменти, изнесъл самостоятелен рецитал с произведения на Сен-Санс, Брамс и Хиндемит. Изявите му съвместно с пиано са в основата на дейността му като концертиращ артист в България и в много европейски и азиатски страни. Има записи в радиото и телевизията у нас и по света.

На него са посветени редица творби от наши и чужди автори, на които той е пръв изпълнител.

Доктор хонорис кауза на НМА „Проф. Панчо Владигеров”.

Развитието на българската кларинетна школа показва, че опитът да се изгради стройна система за подготовката на професионални музиканти-кларинетисти е успешен. Петко Радев е сред най-ярките представители на школата, като повече от десетилетие е бил първи кларинетист и солист в оркестъра на Миланската скала. Негов учител „по всичко“, както отбелязва инструменталистът, е проф. Сава Димитров.

Проф. Шикорски: „Сава Димитров е сред най-големите майстори на кларинета, които познавам! Блестящ темперамент, фантастична техника и много любов към всичко, с което се захваща...”

Ивета ГРЪНЧАРОВА от БНР - Програма "Христо Ботев" разказва:

През 1940 г. в Попово, родния град на маестрото, се случва нещо необичайно. Местното музикално дружество „Арфа“ организира бенефисен концерт на Сава, който тогава няма и 20 години. Особено горд от първото по рода си събитие в провинциалния град е учителят Христо Дюлгеров- цигулар, един от основателите на Русенската филхармония. Тъкмо той насочва Сава Димитров към кларинета. Историята има и продължение: с парите от споменатия бенефис, а това означава и пръв досег с публиката, Сава си купува мечтания инструмент. В Музикалната академия попада в класа на проф. Стоян Стоянов. Безспорните качества на бъдещия корифей на кларинета го отвеждат в Прага, където усъвършенства дарбата си при професорите Ржиха и Хорак. Те му отварят очите за т. нар. Бьом-система. Въпреки съблазнителните обещания за бляскава кариера на концертиращ артист в ония ранни години, Сава Димитров е непреклонен: ще се върне в България, за да открива нови таланти. Професорът има неоценима заслуга за въвеждането на споменатата Бьом - система у нас. А през 1946 публиката в зала България бурно го аплодира на първия му самостоятелен концерт.
Успехът е впечатляващ! Критиците не пропускат да отбележат чистия звук и вроден усет за моделиране на фразата. Проф. Димитров, светла му памет често припомняше за голямата си любов към камерното музициране.
Оценяваше и ролята на свиренето в оркестър. Незабравимите години, когато бе солист на Софийската филхармония и оркестъра на Софийската опера. Колкото до камерното партньорство, Сава Димитров с нескрито вълнение си спомня срещата със забележителната пианистка Люба Енчева.
Почти четвърт век бяха заедно на сцената - великолепно дуо, с блестящи качества и усет за партньорство, както писаха в печата след изявата им в Белгия. Жалко, че са оставили твърде малко записи. Обяснението на Сава Димитров: „Не сме се предлагали!” Думи, изречени с достойнство на артисти от голяма класа! Чакали са, уви, други да се сетят...
След завръщането си от чужбина майсторът на кларинета успява да намери удивителен баланс между концертните изяви и работата на педагог. С годините все по-силна става тръпката да открива таланти.
Професорът създава българската школа по кларинет, а също цялостен оригинален метод, основан на Бьом – системата. Неоспорим факт е, че най-изтъкнатите родни кларинетисти са ученици на Сава Димитров... и на неговите ученици.

Проф. Сава Димитров: „Няма нищо по-вълнуващо от това да помогнеш на таланта да блесне...”
