CD BIS Feinberg 1413 samuil feinberg Piano Sonata No.1, Op.1; Piano Sonata No.2, Op.2 (191516); feinberg was certainly a remarkably gifted pianist but he saw himself, http://www.skfe.com/cd_bis_feinberg1413.html
Extractions: This disc is the first of two volumes devoted to the complete piano sonatas of Samuel Feinberg. It contains the first six sonatas written at various times between 1915 and 1923. Besides the committed performances of the two pianists Nikolaos Samaltanos and Christophe Sirodeau, the latter also contributes a substantial essay on the composer and his neglected works. (Three of these important sonatas have never been recorded before.) Another major "first" from BIS.
Extractions: Revelatory. The music of Samuil Evgenievitch Feinberg is hypnotic in the extreme, most obviously close to Scriabin in mystical mode. All credit to BIS (who already are doing sterling work for the composer Nikos Skalkottas) for releasing this magnificent disc, with superbly detailed annotations by Christophe Sirodeau, one of the two pianists featured on the disc, and a composer himself. Both Sirodeau and Samaltanos contributed to the Skalkottas/Feinberg concerts held in Paris in 1999.
Extractions: www.bis.se The performances, as I hinted earlier, are vibrantly committed. It was no easy task to get these works under the fingers, not least because the chances of playing them in sonata recitals will be very limited. There are, however tough and combative, rewarding and enlivening things here; touching, too. Jonathan Woolf Volume 1

Extractions: SAMUIL FEINBERG (1890-1962) Excerpts from the sleeve notes When we think of transcriptions of Bachs organ music, our thoughts tend to turn initially to Busoni. In fact numerous other composers and pianists both preceded and succeeded Busoni: his most famous predecessor was certainly Liszt and his most recent successor was Kurtág. When, in 1913, the young Samuil Feinberg made his first trip outside Russia, to Berlin, he nurtured the hope of meeting Busoni and of possibly becoming his pupil. (Busoni was famous in Moscow as a pianist and teacher having taught in the city and, equally, as a composer and philosopher, largely because of his book Sketch of a New Esthetic of Music, which had been warmly received by young Russian composers such as Arthur Lourié.) Unfortunately for history, and for Feinberg, the great maestro was not in Berlin during these weeks in the spring of 1913, and Feinberg had to be content with auditions for Schnabel and Lamond. Even at this early age Feinberg had the entire Well-Tempered Clavier in his repertoire, and he had also impressed everybody when he left the Moscow Conservatory by presenting the 48 in public, an achievement that he repeated in 1914 and on various later occasions before finally being able to record them around 1960. Feinberg knew a large number of transcriptions of Bachs organ works when he decided to make his own contribution to what might almost be considered a genre in its own right. It would seem, despite everything, that Feinberg started his great series of transcriptions not with the Chorale Preludes but with the Concerto by Vivaldi/Bach, thus beginning in this first attempt with a work that was already in transcribed form. This could hardly have been a coincidence.

Extractions: Little known outside of Russia, Samuel Feinberg (1890-1962) performed, taught, and composed for nearly sixty years. An original and intellectually precocious musician, his pianism was of the highest level. As a young man, he was prepared by Alexander Goldenweiser, a pianist and pedagogue who frequented Tolstoy and wrote reminiscences of his visits with the writer. The young Feinberg began composing and met Scriabin, who praised Feinberg's interpretations. Feinberg managed to tour Europe before Stalin sealed off the country in the 1930's and was unable to travel abroad again. He taught at the Moscow Conservatory and had a modest career. After his death, manuscripts were published in which Feinberg had extensively elaborated his philosophy on music: they await translation into English. When listening to Feinberg interpret Bach, Scriabin, Beethoven, or others, it is difficult to imagine that one pianist can adopt such varied approaches. Feinberg seemingly transformed himself to draw forth the unique musical language of each composer. His recording of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, made shortly before his death, is probably the most musically compelling and original version ever documented, as is his Scriabin and Liszt playing. He stands above all later Soviet pianists, except Sofronitsky, as a foremost musical mind and soul.

We'll hear two of Feinberg's piano "poems" on Nocturne this week, as well as intriguing jazz trumpet from Finland and Australia and Diana Krall singing some Elvis Costello songs. THE Elvis also makes various appearances; we'll hear a work for Elvis impersonators and string quartet, the man himself singing gospel in the sixties and the musical tale of an Elvis sighting in an Australian supermarket.

Extractions: One of Russia's master musicians, Samuil Evgenievch Feinberg (1890-1962) was equally a profound interpreter, gifted teacher, and accomplished composer. Feinberg transformed his sound and style to enter the realm of each composer he played. His recording of Bach's Well Tempered Clavier remains unsurpassed, unique for being strict with the Preludes while taking the Fugues greater freedom. Modern music was important to Feinberg, who received the approval of Scriabin and the leading composers of his time: one program from Petersburg on May 18, 1924 is representative: Myaskovsky: Sonata no.2

Many piano music admirers, indeed, see the names of Russian pianists on the concert posters as a guaranty of highest artistic quality. As well the piano teachers, who even very little - still had been learn by Russians, become more trustful for the students... Quite strange miracle - especially if one would like to take into consideration that no each and every Russian pianist represents equally high level and as well no each and every Russian or in Russia educated piano tutor could be able to work in equally high professional way. Additionally, one ought to be sure that any , homogenous Russian PIANO SCHOOL truly does not exist and this fact should be apparent for us all. In fact, several great individualities have appeared in the piano field in Russia, putting ultimate touches on development of the piano art in this country, particularly in first half of the 20th Century. They were such artists as: Felix Blumenfeld (1863 - 1931); among his students were
