22. Saint Louis Symphony By Eddie Silva. When the pianist william wolfram – he with the Heathcliffon-the-moorgood looks – last performed with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, http://www.saintlouissymphony.org/notes/wolfram.htm

Wolfram on Beethoven By Eddie Silva I reached him at his home in New York City. Wolfram is affable, smart, and takes questions far afield – all qualities that make him delightful in conversation. Here he talks about the “Emperor” concerto as the Rach 3 of its time, the pitfalls of analysis, and the real-world demands of performance. A note: this interview occurred before the dismal end to the World Series. We’re looking forward to you returning. I know the last time you were here it was on short notice for the Chopin. Any memories of that time? It was a lot of fun. In one way it’s nerve-wracking; in another way it isn’t. I had a great time. I enjoyed the entire experience. I’m looking forward to coming back so I can spend a little more time. (Wolfram puts me on hold for a brief moment, and strange music comes on.) That sounds like Stereolab playing Christmas music. I know. It’s really weird. I never changed it. I come from a background of literature, and in literary criticism we have the phrase “agony of influence.” I thought there might be few pieces in the classical repertoire that fit that phrase as closely as does the Beethoven Fifth Piano Concerto. When I did research for our 125 th season I found that Rudolf Serkin, Glenn Gould, Artur Rubenstein and Daniel Barenboim all played the Fifth here.

DDD NAXOS 8.557014 William Wolfram is an excellent choice as one of the contributors to this multi-pianist series of the complete Liszt piano music. Juilliard-trained, his technique seems ideally suited to Liszt’s not inconsiderable demands. Given his impressive history of competition successes - including Third in the Tchaikovsky Competition, Moscow - this should not come as a surprise. His concert activities seem to be concentrated around the United States, although he has recently taken on a recording project of the concertos of Edward Collins with Marin Alsop and the RSNO.

39. Frazelle Bio He sent the piece to the duo of mezzosoprano Jan DeGaetani and pianist GilbertKalish, Jeffrey Kahane, Christopher O Reilly, and william wolfram. http://www.subitomusic.com/frazelle_bio.htm

Kenneth Frazelle Kenneth Frazelle The career of composer and native North Carolinian Kenneth Frazelle shows the constant flow of a curious mind at work. His aesthetic inquiry has led to a rich and varied body of work encompassing the complex and non-tonal approach of his earliest creations, multi-disciplinary events, contemporary use of folk materials, and an idiosyncratic perspective on the classical forms of the past. These works have been commissioned by such notable performers as Yo-Yo Ma, Dawn Upshaw and Paula Robison. Frazelle has been honored by the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and he is the winner of the 2001 Barlow Prize. What the critics say... Catalogue of works... Subito Music Home Frazelle's creative path began in the South. His ancestors were North Carolina farmers as far back as the late seventeenth century. However, his parents joined the throngs of 1950's Americans who settled into suburban living. Music was part of his early life. "My dad had a great ear," Frazelle has said. "He could pick up an instrument, like a harmonica or a toy piano, and pick out tunes." Although his father died when Frazelle was only six years old, the son has vivid memories of a musical guessing game he and his father used to play. His mother placed young Kenneth in piano lessons at the age of nine. His teacher, Mrs. Gladys Sylvester, lived in a small town not far from the lands of his farming ancestors, yet "she really knew the piano and had very good training herself. She started me on Czerny and Chopin etudes." Frazelle's curiosity in the music he was playing led to the discovery of a treasure trove of LPs at the local library, immersing him in the sounds of European classical music. "I started checking out Stravinsky conducting his own music, Bartok, Varese, just anything I could get hold of. I really got into classical music through the piano."

KENJI BUNCH, composer "Kenji Bunch has had several arresting works performed in recent seasons. He is a composer to watch, and his new position as Young Concert Artists' Composer-in-Residence is likely to expand his presence. Mr. Bunch is also a violist, and his five movement Suite for Viola and Piano, composed for violist Naoko Shimizu, tests a player's limits. The dramatic writing of the opening Rhapsody gives way to a pizzicato section full of character and melody. A graceful Lament that explores a broad timbral palette becomes an extended Cadenza, which in turn expands into a vigorous, virtuosic perpetual-motion finale." - THE NEW YORK TIMES Biography List of Compositions Listen Electronic Press Kit ... Download Real One Player The Washington Post wrote that KENJI BUNCH “ is on the brink of a distinguished career,” and The New York Times called him “a composer to watch.”
