November 21, 1999 The New York Times (reprinted by permission) modified January 2001 RECORDINGS Brahms Without the Usual Comfort BRAHMS: THE VIOLIN SONATAS Pamela Frank, violinist; Peter Serkin, pianist. London 289 455-643; CD. R eviewed by Bernard D. Sherman "Most current Brahms performances," complains the pianist Stephen Kovacevich, "suggest a comfortable, overweight bank manager reluctantly refusing an overdraft." Not these ones. To Pamela Frank and Peter Serkin, the operative word for Brahms seems to be "intense." The intensity manifests itself in various ways, including a few extreme tempos. For example, the artists begin the Third Sonata's Adagio as slowly as can be done without losing the pulse. But their noble phrasing makes the tempo work. And when the opening theme returns later, differentiated from its initial appearance by a flowing new bass line and by the instruments' singing it together, the artists play it somewhat faster. The increase in tempo sounds natural and adds urgency to what may be the most heart-rending passage in all the sonatas. For all their intensity, the pair knows how to shape movements, holding back in one place so as to build toward something more passionate later. In only one movement - the opening of the First Sonata - does this approach leave me unsatisfied. While the pair builds to an exceptionally rhapsodic second thematic group, they make the opening theme sound a bit matter of fact. The problem is that their fast tempo suits the second group perfectly but is too fast for the gentle lyricism of the opening. A more flexible tempo, starting more slowly and speeding up gradually

by William Thomas Walker Rossini's Overture to La gazza ladra The Thieving Magpie ) received a lively reading. The lock-step march of the opening served to accentuate the fiery allegro portion. The percussionists played the antiphonal snare drums to the hilt, and the principal bassoon, oboe, and piccolo made strongly-characterized contributions. Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 24, in c minor, K.491, is my favorite of the 25 works for single keyboard. I cannot imagine a better performance of the work than that given by Serkin, Stern, and the members of the all-faculty orchestra. The pianist was in his finest form, and he deployed his technical mastery in a probing exploration of the work's emotional and expressive depths. The close co-ordination between Serkin and the woodwinds in the second movement took us outside the mundane world. Time seemed suspended. Stern's interpretation of Ravel's Hindemith's "Symphonic Metamorphoses on themes of Carl Maria von Weber" received a brilliant Technicolor reading by Stern and the orchestra. Percussion was given its head, and there wasn't anything inhibited about the playing. The horns, trumpets, and – especially – the trombones, were resplendent.

Korean Rudolf Serkin(28th Mar. 1903~8th May 1991) [ The piano has always been less interesting to me than the music ] Curriculum Vitae [ Photo from Philips Homepage Many pianists begin as solist, but turn to other way(chamber musician or vocal accompanist) after they know the talent of their own are not proper to solist. The opposite cases are so rare, in which I think Rudolf Serkin perhaps succeeded most. Furthermore, he is one of the most outstanding example of a professional musical family in 20th century. Rudolf Serkin was born in Eger(Bohemia? Austria?) on 28th March 1903 in a Jewish Russian family. He was taught music by father(singer) and moved to Vienna at nine, where piano by Richard Robert and composition by Joseph Marx(then George Szell was among his pupil, and the two musician coworked in many recordings later in USA). Rudolf was hailed as a child prodigy as he played Mendelssohn's concerto with Vienna Philharmonic at twelve, but he started regular concert carrier in 1920. It is said that his connection with Busch family was in 1920, also. (I heard this story that) Adolf Busch was seated at a concert by Rudolf. Busch was amazed by Rudolf's gifts and tried to meet him so as to ask his accompaniment, managing to meet Rudolf at train station shortly before Rudolf's leaving because he was disappointed by audiences' response. The two men, met by accident, had played for 32 years. Rudolf gave the Berlin d

It was commissioned for him by the 92nd Street Y with funds provided in part by the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, and with public funds from the National Endowment for the Arts and the NY State Council on the Arts. Three Pieces for Piano Program note by the Composer New York Newsday Tim Page "Peter Serkin, a great pianist at the peak of his powers, has had the splendid audactity to devote an entire program to new music...he has commissioned short works from 11 composers... Serkin chose his composers carefully; they have rewarded him with miinatures of unusually high quality. "Tobias Picker provided three interrelated pieces: the outer two shot by quickly and brilliantly, the central movement was serious and sumptuous." The New York Times Bernard Holland "Peter Serkin joined the early-music movement...by offering one of the most authentic of 18th-century practices: programs consisting of all new music. "One recurring impression throughout the evening...was of composers who care for Mr. Serkin's chosen instrument, who have written music that flatters the piano, exploits its pleasures and bathes in its most attractive qualities.

The most obvious note I made to myself before listening was that the Serkin was only 44 minutes long; that means "forget the repeats." I also figured that I would not be agreeable to the lack of repeats. After listening to the three versions, my conclusions are: a. Yudina's aria and the other "slow" variations are superb. She presents them beautifully with a high level of emotion and even a sense of urgency which I found compelling. However, the faster variations were very routine. The sound has some hiss and breaks now and then. That's no problem when her interpretation is excellent, but it was bothersome in the fast variations. b. Based on Schepkin's excellent discs of the partitas, I expected much from him in the Goldbergs. Expectations were dashed as Schepkin was on an embellishment kick which annoyed me significantly. His recording is not recommended.
