Autumn 1995 (3.3) The Era of Van Cliburn Musical Phenomenon in the Midst of Cold War by Betty Blair Van Cliburn, 25, arrives in Baku for Concert. June 1960. Courtesy: Azerbaijan National Archives. It was 35 years ago, on June 28, 1960, that a tall, lanky, youthful Texan gave a singular piano performance in Baku's Philharmonia. Two years earlier, he had caused a sensation both in the USSR and the U.S. by winning the coveted First Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in Moscow. To this day, Van Cliburn's concert in Baku is remembered as one of the most extraordinary foreign performances ever given in Azerbaijan. Those who were fortunate enough to gain admittance (approximately 1,500 people) still remember it vividly. This past June, Nina Fischeva, Director of the Photo and Cinema Materials at Azerbaijan's National State Archives, along with Fuad Akhundov, author of our series, "Legacy of the Oil Barons", prepared an album of Van Cliburn's visit to Baku from photos they found buried in the archive's files. Cliburn's birthday was coming up on July 12th; he would be 61. Would it be possible to find him and pass on a little album as a gesture of the admiration that Azerbaijanis still hold for him? Nina had attended Van Cliburn's concert; Fuad had not yet been born although his mother had been one of the lucky few who managed to find a ticket.

In 1958, at the height of the Cold War, 23-year-old Texan Van Cliburn won the first International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, making him the first classical musician for whom the city of New York has thrown a ticker-tape parade. He later became one of the highest paid concert pianists of his generation, performing with every major orchestra and conductor and appearing in all of the internationally renowned concert halls. He has made many timeless and popular recordings of major piano concertos, and has developed a vast solo repertoire. The recording he made with Kiril Kondrashin, the Russian conductor with whom he played his 1958 prize-winning performance in Moscow "Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1" has sold more than three million copies worldwide. In 1962, he established the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, which is held every four years in Fort Worth to encourage the development of young artists. In 1987, after an extended sabbatical, Cliburn performed at the White House at a state dinner honoring Mikhail Gorbachev, then the Soviet Union's General Secretary. Two years later, and 31 years after his triumph at the Tchaikovsky Competition, Cliburn returned to the Soviet Union to perform at the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory and in Leningrad, which is today St. Petersburg.
