Extractions: JOYCE HATTO - A Pianist of Extraordinary Personality and Promise Comment and Interview by Burnett James [The original preparatory meeting for this interview took place in June 1973. There was a further meeting between Joyce Hatto and Burnett James later the same year when he approached different aspects. The fly sheet of typed interview, sent to Joyce as a courtesy to check through, was dated July 10th 1973.] BJ: It was Sir Arnold Bax who first brought Joyce Hatto to my more active attention. I had seen the name in the concert columns but it did not register until I found myself in the Nags Head, Holloway, supping with Arnold after attending a rehearsal of one of his orchestral works by the Modern Symphony Orchestra at the Northern Polytechnic. Many a composer, famous and unknown, has had cause for many years to be grateful to Arthur Dennington and his brave band for rehearsing and performing their works. However, my ears were kindled when Arnold imparted that Joyce Hatto was to tackle his Symphonic Variations with the Modern Symphony. Sir Arnold was positively gleeful that Miss Hatto had actually asked to play his mammoth creation and not cajoled into it by his publishers

Madeleine De Valmalète There alfred cortot, who recognized her talents as a musician and pedagogue, The French pianist Eric FerrandN Kaoua, born in 1963, began working with http://www.arbiterrecords.com/notes/144notes.html
Extractions: As a young student, she entered the piano class of Isidor Philipp at the Paris Conservatoire. Philipp, a noted interpreter of the music of Franz Liszt, focused on developing virtuoso technique through total control of interpretive nuance and sonorities. Madeleine also studied with Joseph Morpain, who taught Clara Haskil among others. Like Haskil, Madeleine would always feel great affection for Morpain, whom she designated as her "Maître." World War I soon broke out, effecting all of Europe: Madeleine's brother was drafted, and her father lost his source of income. Her mother, a painter of considerable talent, could no longer live by selling her art. To help the family income, Madeleine was obliged to give piano lessons. This sort of adult responsibility assumed at a young age tested her stubborn personality which, combined with rare energy, infused her performances. By this time she was playing alongside established musicians in benefit concerts for victims of the Great War. Critics praised her varied artistry, passionate temperament, and staggering technique. Saint-Saëns wrote to her to praise her rendition of his "Danse macabre," and she soon would have the opportunity to play for Ferruccio Busoni. As her career developed, she often gave local premieres like the first Monte Carlo performance (1916) of Edward MacDowell's Piano Concerto No. 2. By the war's end she was truly independent, and forthrightly became the second Frenchwoman ever to earn a driver's license, yet still lived with her much-respected mother, whose constant presence may have discouraged potential suitors.
Scarpini Edition Vol. I A recital by Pietro Scarpini, the pianist who has placed his own art in the who asked himself such a question more than once was old alfred cortot, http://www.arbiterrecords.com/notes/131notes.html
Extractions: Scarpini Edition Vol. I The case of Pietro Scarpini (1911-1997) is unique, as he was a peerless and profound musician who developed a rareified and vast repertoire. Scarpini was the leading pianist in Italy after World War II, yet has not received proper recognition due to his disdain for recording and for having avoided the public sphere which artists are compelled to engage in, as Scarpini chose to live for his art and deliberately avoided outside intrusions on his life in order to maintain and cultivate his musicianship. Paradoxically, while he did little to preserve his art through commercial recordings, Scarpini methodically kept tapes made of recitals and broadcasts and added to it by recording at home. Scarpini's one solo recording, made for the Durium firm around 1950, was characteristic of his musical focus: sonatas and shorter works by Bartok and Stravinsky. One regrets the absence of the Goldberg and Diabelli sets, as Scarpini often performed them before the 1960s: perhaps they will be discovered some day. As only two or three interviews with Scarpini exist, along with two musical commentaries, primary sources are extremely limited, obliging the forthcoming discs to reproduce them along with critiques and many examples of his programs. Amongst his papers was found one revealing document: on an undated page on hotel stationary, Scarpini typed in English an overview of the significant events in his career:
Wanda Landowska alfred cortot s teacher played on it, but he was a pianist who played old At a quarter past three appeared Wanda Landowska and alfred cortot on http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/landowska.html
Extractions: Wanda Landowska One of the many debts of gratitude we owe to Wanda Landowska is for her having viewed music as a continuum rather than a progressing art ever perfecting itself. Due to this approach she understood that great work is achieved in any period and embodies a synthesis of preceding scores as well as a reflection of its own age, if not that of a vision beyond its own present. Therefore in order to recreate the spirit behind the music, Landowska immersed herself into a lifelong study of performance practice and the style surrounding works in other artistic disciplines. This became not a final goal but a point of departure, as she eventually came to understand the comedies of Moliere and Marivaux, the paintings of Watteau as she did her Couperin and Bach. Landowska acquired many old instruments and soon began touring with the Pleyels made for her own use, incorporating the best features of what had been examined amongst the museum instruments, capable of adapting to serve the entire literature, as well as new works written for her by Poulenc, Falla, Rieti and others. The Poulenc on this disc is the sole example of Landowska's performance of contemporary music. Poulenc had attended the premiere of Falla's Retablo de Maese Pedro , which has a harpsichord part. Poulenc recalled:

These works are usually to be written for chamber music formations, since the venues of the Festival do not admit large groups. In the 1999 season, for instance, we heard the two piano quintets of Ernö von Dohnányi, a delightful surprise for listeners unacquainted with his music. Long musical lines, beautiful melody, distinctive harmony and strong rhythmic impulse.
