Artist's Biography Emanuel Ax Tuned in concert for two performances, Norwalk, Ct. (Oct. 1978) Pianist Emanuel Ax enjoys an international career that brings him acclaim in equal measure for his concert, chamber and recital performances. Highly regarded for his poetic lyricism and brilliant technique, he first won the attention of the classical world in 1974, when at the age of twenty-five he took the top prize in the first Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Competition in Tel Aviv. He has been a busy and respected figure on the international concert scene ever since. An exclusive Sony Classical artist since 1987, Ax has recorded for the label a wide range of concert, chamber and solo piano music, from Classical works to twentieth-century music. His most recent Grammy Award-winning recordings for Sony Classical include the first volume in his ongoing cycle of Haydn piano sonatas and a disc of the clarinet trios of Beethoven, Brahms and Mozart (with Yo-Yo Ma and Richard Stoltzman). Los Tangueros, a recent Sony Classical recording, represents a striking departure for Ax, in which he collaborates with pianist Pablo Ziegler in new two-piano arrangements of tangos and milongas by Astor Piazzolla. Ax recently completed his first period-instrument recording for Sony Classical, playing the Chopin Piano Concerto no. 2 on an 1853 Erard piano. Future plans include recording the first Chopin piano concerto, also on period instruments, and the Brahms Piano Concerto no. 2 with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Bernard Haitink.

The second movement, Manny's Gym , is gentle jazz, with a paraphrase of a Satie in the middle. It gave Ax lots of opportunities to show off his singing tone. In the bebop Hail Bop third movement, too, you can swing along (and the principal viola and trumpeters definitely did so), but you can't quite find the beat. At one point, the xylophone, trumpets and upper register of the piano really let loose. Rattle, Ax and Adams took many bows together.

50. Emanuel Ax And Yo-Yo Ma Play Sergei Rachmaninoff And Sergei Prokofiev and with the virtuosic talent and skill of pianist emanuel ax. That there isso much subtlety in such a grand instrument is almost unbelievable, http://www.greenmanreview.com/cd/cd_rachmaninoff_prokofiev_sonatas.html

Sergei Rachmaninoff and Sergei Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev Cello Sonatas [Emanuel Ax, piano; Yo-Yo Ma, cello] (Sony Classical/Legacy, 2003) Of all the instruments of the orchestra, the cello is perhaps the most "human," for lack of a better word. If you close your eyes, you can almost imagine the sounds the instrument produces emanating from the mouth of an exquisite vocalist. Its tone and colour do not seem to enter the body through the ears, but rather through one's feet, traveling up from the ground, reverberating in the torso, finally coming to rest right in the middle of one's chest. Even its size and shape call to mind the human form; seeing it played and played well is like watching a vibrant, sensual dance. In the hands of an expert performer or composer particularly both the cello becomes almost a weapon, affecting the listener with any emotion the artist desires, leaving him or her wholly at the mercy of the music. It is a most benevolent and gentle form of cruelty and Yo-Yo Ma is its master. But let us not discount the affect of the piano, either especially when dealing with composers of the caliber of Sergei Rachmaninoff and Sergei Prokofiev, and with the virtuosic talent and skill of pianist Emanuel Ax. That there is so much subtlety in such a grand instrument is almost unbelievable, and that it can be showcased so perfectly in the relatively short form of the sonata is testimony to the genius of both the creator and the interpreter.

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the festival, a group of the world's greatest pianists gathered to play arrangements of classical favorites for four to 16 hands on one to eight pianos. Pianists Leif Ove Andsnes, Nicholas Angelich, Martha Argerich, Emanuel Ax, Claude Frank, Evgeny Kissin, Lang Lang, James Levine, Mikhail Pletnev, and Staffan Scheja perform works by Mozart Wagner , Rimsky-Korsakov, Smetana, Sousa , and Gottschalk.

60. CD REVIEW Brahms Handel Emanuel Ax emanuel ax seems as eager as the composer to share the wealth of ideas, suddenturns, This recording reveals a pianist who has all the tools impeccable http://www.jamesweggreview.org/Reviews_Classical/Brahms_Handel.htm

Ax is exhilarating Johannes Brahms: Variations on a Theme by Handel Opus 24 (1862) in B flat major Emanuel Ax, piano Sony, SK 48046, Digital Studio Recording at RIAS Berlin, April 19-21, 1991 by S. James Wegg Whatever drew Brahms to Handel’s eight bars of stately, constrained melody, whose range is limited to an octave and whose notes never stray outside the eight notes of their Bb major home scale, will remain a musicological mystery! But compositionally their very “simplicity” is ideal for the incredible journey penned by the master variationist of his time. Click to hear the Theme Emanuel Ax seems as eager as the composer to share the wealth of ideas, sudden turns, unexpected harmonies and rhythmical drive that makes the twenty-five minute performance disappear in a heady wink. I last heard Ax some fifteen years ago where he tossed off the fiendishly difficult Khachaturian concerto at an American Symphony Conductor (now defunct) under the direction of my mentor Kazuyoshi Akiyama. His mastery of the keyboard was dazzling but at the time he wouldn’t have been my first choice for the subtleties and breadth of another piano master. How wrong I can be! This recording reveals a pianist who has all the tools: impeccable technique, rhythmic accuracy, Herculean endurance!—but also the all too frequently missing gift of revealing the subtext of the art. He is a worthy advocate of Brahms.
