SCHUMANN: Piano Works Arrau, Cortot, Fischer, Gieseking, Godowsky, Haskil, Horowitz, Nat, Rachmaninoff, Tagliaferro Andante 1964 (4CD) 4h 47 min The Carnival by Rachmaninoff, the Symphonic Studies by Cortot, The ABEGG Variations by Haskil, all these referential recordings are already found in the collections of keen music-lovers. But although Pearl, Biddulph, Music and Arts, Dante, and Philips, to name but a few, had already begun reissuing these classics, it seems that Andante is now surpassing everything that has been done so far. This set of 4 discs devoted to Schumann would certainly confirm this. This anthology contains only the best, apart from one or two pieces whose inclusion might be debated. As well as showing the evolution of Schumann interpretations between 1929 and 1949, it also highlights a strong propensity for risk-taking, mixing temperament with wrong notes that are quickly forgotten in the delight of the spontaneity. The transfers to disc by the Parisian team at Art et Son are among the best, if not the best, of current technology. A good example is the Carnival Carnival As for the interpretations, the recording of the ABEGG Variations by Haskil for Polydor in 1938 was a wise choice. The Romanian pianist gives a spirited, fresh performance (his concluding maelstrom is amazing) that surpasses the 1951 Philips version. Her

42. A Portrait Of Pianist Clara Rodriguez, By Bill Newman directly from the teachings of the great edwin fischer. Although I only heardfischer live on the one occasion when he performed Beethoven s Emperor http://www.mvdaily.com/articles/2005/04/rodriguez2.htm

2 Bill Newman SOUTH AMERICAN BELLE 'I haven't had sufficient time to study some of the younger generation artists like the Russian influx. Often, I question where those I do hear really come from, and what they impart.' Your own playing shows you are willing to take chances, but that you possess a number of fixed views. How pieces should sound: based on your own ideas, or imparted by various teachers to become assimilated and incorporated as the basis of your own performing interpretation. This involves the rhythms and colours, sometimes at the expense of overall accuracy but who cares about that? I referred to a broadening of pace to emphasize the drama during the development of Liszt's First Mephisto Waltz . 'I like Liszt, and if I included more Bach, Beethoven, Schubert and Brahms in my repertory, I could then visit Paul for further advice.' Badura-Skoda was recently complimentary about her latest recordings: 'Your playing is even better than in your earlier ones. You are a worthy interpreter of the great Carreno. I did not know that she was such a fine composer, and I have always liked the works of Ernesto Lecuona beautiful in every respect ...' His ever-admiring pupil sees the importance of great advice passed on to a younger generation, directly from the teachings of the great Edwin Fischer. Although I only heard Fischer live on the one occasion when he performed Beethoven's Emperor Your other teacher is Phyllis Sellick. 'She has been very strict with me, but a real inspiration in every way. I now play for her at least once a year, and even where the repertoire is unfamiliar, she will always say something important and reassuring to me afterwards.' Sellick is now 93, but she has always instilled along with her late husband Cyril Smith the need for pupils never to be totally satisfied with their efforts. Has she persuaded you to punish yourself in the process? 'Yes, this whole concentration on the listening process with its concept of clarity, until everything finally falls into place, phrasing balancing up and meaning established overall. It's really the way you put everything together. Another pianist who inspired me was the Pole, Regina Smendzianka (represented on the Polska Nagrania record label). We met in Caracas and I studied some Chopin at her masterclasses. She used to

Not surprisingly, she did not disappoint us in her recital for the Mozart Society of California last night at Sunset Center in Carmel as she performed for us three Beethoven Sonatas — Op. 27, No. 2 (the famous “Moonlight” Sonata), Op. 90 and Op. 101. The “Moonlight” Sonata is more frequently performed in living rooms than on concert stages, since it has always been beloved by amateurs who find its first movement user friendly (although they tend to give a wide berth to its challenging last movement). Thus it was a pleasure to hear the entire sonata performed by Ms. Kodama. She gave us an intelligent and sympathetic account of the famous first movement with its lovely cantabile, followed by the charming Allegretto second movement, and of course the stormy final

From the New York Times Some Like It Cool By ANTHONY TOMMASINI At Carnegie Hall in January, the remarkable Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes had just finished playing the first work in his recital, Schubert's Sonata in D (D. 850), when two young men behind me started discussing the performance. Both had reservations. "So what did you think?" one asked. His companion, clearly trying to be fair, said: "Well, of course his playing was commanding and brilliant. But there was no vulnerability." Though I disagreed, I knew what he was talking about. For me, Mr. Andsnes' performance was elegant, bracing, intelligent and full of vitality. For all its ebullience and humor, this sonata is a formidable work of nearly 40 minutes. Without making points or disturbing the surface charm of the music, Mr. Andsnes allowed the music's intensity and melancholy to speak. Still, there is a quality of reserve in Mr. Andsnes' artistry. That quality will undoubtedly be on display tonight at Carnegie Hall when he plays Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto with the San Francisco Symphony, conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas. I heard Mr. Andsnes and Mr. Thomas perform this work in San Francisco last year. It was as if they had cleansed the score of the emotive expressivity that so many pianists and music lovers automatically associate (too simplistically) with the Russian Romantic tradition. Mr. Andsnes' playing was tremendously exciting yet also lean, clearheaded, rigorous and rhythmic. It had tenderness and grace but no exaggerated yanking of the melodic phrases.

In so doing, he became only the fourth pianist to perform this cycle in that historic hall. The first was Artur Schnabel, in 1936. Then came Alfred Brendel, almost 50 years later. Then Maurizio Pollini. And now, Barenboim. The Beethoven sonatas may be considered the summit of the piano literature. They are almost written on tablets. Of course, another summit is Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier (if we can speak for the keyboard in general, rather than the piano in particular). It's pleasant to reflect that Beethoven imbibed The Well-Tempered Clavier both books while learning in Bonn. Bach soaked into his brain, serving him well, forever.

Remembering Robin Wood, FRAM, LL.D. Principal Emeritus, Victoria Conservatory of Music VCM Home Although he used to boast, I've never worked a day in my life , Robin Wood accomplished more professionally and personally than most people ever dream of. A consummate pianist, an inspiring and compassionate teacher, and a globe-trotting adjudicator, he was also a perceptive mentor and the kindest of friends. In his four decades at the Victoria Conservatory of Music, he embodied the best that the Conservatory aspires to: high musical standards, along with a deep commitment to encouraging students to grow as both musicians and as persons. Robin Wood was loved and respected, not only for his immense skill as a musician and his gifted teaching, but for his irrepressible sense of humour, his ability to play the violin with an orange, his love of cats, hockey, and Beethoven, and above all, his generous spirit. His pupils marvelled at his ability to play any piece of music from memory. They tell affectionate stories of his cats, Boris and Dolce, of his fascination with computers and the latest electronic gadgets, his pride in his "perfect Cantonese," his outrageous puns, and his devotion to the Vancouver Canucks. If it came to a choice between a student recital and a hockey game, he would bring his walkman to the recital and enjoy both. To his students he dispensed nicknames, hugs, dinners out, rides home, bad jokes, and always, the music. His teaching tool-kit included scribbled caricatures of cats, hockey analogies, endless patience, laughter, the highest of standards, and the admonishment to always play from the heart.

Home Alexander Order Coats-of-Arms Articles ... Spiritual Corner The Pianist Wilhelm Kempff is dead The friend of Leonard Bernstein died at 95 He played often in the United States By B. John Zavrel Munich - The famous pianist Wilhelm Kempff has died at the age of 95 in Positano, Italy. The city government announced the death of the piano virtuoso on Friday, May 24, 1991. Kempff still performed at the age of 80 with his friend Leonard Bernstein in New York City. The friendship between the two has developed after the Second World War. Bernstein praised the German: "He is one of the most interesting personalities I ever met in my life." After 1945 Kempff lived in Ammerland near Munich. His adopted home became the Italian town Positano near Naples, where he suffered a stroke. Kempff was a pianist with an unmistakable, unique touch. His interpretations of piano works of the classic and romantic styles were always stamped with a highly personal style. With the pianist Cortot, also Kempff played at the opening of a great art exhibition of his friend Arno Breker in the Orangerie in Paris in 1942 in front of an international audience. Kempff is immortalized in a magnificent bronze bust by Breker. Kempff grew up in Potsdam, studied music in Berlin and received there a thorough education as a pianist. Already in the 20's he began with an extensive touring activity which took him around the world. He performed in Japan as well as in South America and in the United States. To his friends belonged Eugen d'Albert, Georg Kulenkampff, Edwin Fischer and the legendary pianistin Elly Ney. Together with Roger Peyrefitte, Ernst Fuchs, Ronald Reagan, Dr. Uta Ranke-Heinemann, Salvador Dali and other personalities, also Kempff belonged to the Order of Alexander the Great for Science and Art.

59. Arbiter Liner Notes In playing all nineteen sonatas from memory he became the first pianist to was edwin fischer (two in C major, C minor, D major, A major, A minor). http://www.arbiterrecords.com/notes/101notes.html

The Complete Mozart Piano Sonatas Mieczyslaw Horszowski, piano Clementi was attracted by the sonorities he manipulated through an expanded technique and its novel effect on his listeners. From Mozart's few comments on what he deemed fine playing, we find that musicality was his priority. The playing he favored was termed "flowing like oil", implying an even transparency, self-containment and having the essence and vitality of life's movement away from an experience towards an unknown awaiting destiny. In one letter Mozart alludes to a particular use of rubato that was later applied by Chopin: ". . . I am always strictly in time. They all wonder at that. They cannot understand how I keep the left hand independent in the tempo rubato of an adagio, for with them the left hand always follows the right." While it seems paradoxical to play one hand evenly while giving full liberty to the other, Sir Charles Halle recalled Chopin's similar rhythmic treatment as being so subtle that it took him years to realize how Chopin altered beats in his Mazurkas. Mozart's case must have been as extraordinary as Chopin's: a daring freedom creating the illusion of serene uniformity. Unlike the lyrical and dramatic Piano Concertos, Mozart's sonatas convey an even more intimate side of the composer. Beneath a surface of melody, accompaniment and passagework their meaning is not always apparent. As they are concise and essential, one moment of indifference from a performer is enough to cast an intrusive shadow over their delicate structure. With so much interest in Mozart one wonders why so many performances of the sonatas suffer from poor taste; the earnest quest for objectivity usually produces a relativism that obeys the notes without realizing their purpose. And when expressive gestures attempt to enliven the gray matter, kitsch is the result.
