Extractions: Emil Grigoryevich Gilels October 19 October 14 ) was a Ukrainian classical pianist of the Soviet era. Gilels was born in Odessa in to a musical family; both his parents were musicians. He began studying the piano at 6, making his first public debut at the age of 13 in 1929. In 1930 Gilels entered the Odessa Conservatory where he was coached by Berta Reingbald, whom Gilels credited as his first formulative influence. In 1933 Gilels won the newly-founded All Soviet Union Piano Competition at age 17. After graduating from the Odessa Conservatory in 1935, he moved to Moscow , where he studied under the famous piano teacher Heinrich Neuhaus until 1937. A year later, at age 22, he won the Ysaÿe International Festival in Brussels , beating such competitors as Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli and Moura Lympany Gilels was the first Soviet artist to be allowed to travel extensively in the West. After the war, he toured Europe starting from 1947 as a concert pianist, and made his

Extractions: b. 1916 Odessa, Ukraine; d. 1985 Moscow, USSR I am less acquainted with Emil Gilels's biography than some of the other pianists I have written about, however, I feel his artistry is great enough for me to say some words about him. Gilels was born October 19 into a musical family . Although widely known as a pupil of Heinrich Neuhaus (along with compatriot Sviatoslav Richter), Gilels credited Bertha Ringold as his primary musical influence during his formative years. When he was 16 years of age, the shy-yet-fiery redhead played Beethoven's Appassionata and Ravel's Jeux d'eau for the well-known virtuoso Arthur Rubinstein at the local conservatory and made a lasting impression. After completing graduate studies at the Moscow Conservatory, Gilels participated in several prominent competitions, winning second place in Vienna (Yakov Flier took first) and first in the Ysaye at Brussels. Pianists Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (7th placehe received a zero from the Italian judge!) and Moura Lympany were among his competitors at Brussels. The Second World War delayed Gilels' American debut, but the cultural provisions of the 1955 Geneva agreement gave him the honor of being the first Soviet artist to visit the United States in over a quarter of a century. I was lucky enough to listen to a reel-to-reel broadcast tape of Gilels' Chicago Symphony Orchestra debut (in Northwestern University's music archives), playing the Tchaikovsky 1st under Reiner. The performance is essentially similar to the RCA Living Stereo release made around that time (in fabulous sound, I might add). Gilels' playing is athletic, lyrical, and excitinga different conception than his later, weightier Columbia recording with Mehta and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. His two commercial recordings of the Brahms 2nd follow a comparable pattern. The earlier recording (again with Reiner and the CSO) is quite volatile, while the latter version is more mellow in tone and leisurely paced. As Gilels aged, he lost some of that youthful energy and relied more on his experienced insight to communicate to his audience.
Extractions: Recorded various venues between 1935 and December 1977 by Johnathan Bushrod Emil Gilels was born in 1916, a stocky, red-haired virtuoso of an order that only Russia seems able to produce. He remained a Soviet citizen, but unlike his contemporary Richter, in whose shadow he inevitably found himself (and that is still the case today) his appearances outside of the Eastern Bloc do not seem to have been unduly rationed, and from the 1950s onwards Gilels managed to build on his stunning American debut and appear regularly in the West until his premature death in 1985. The authorities used Gilels as a cultural ambassador, and Western audiences lapped it up. Concerts sold out quickly, and before long his reputation was such that he was getting invitations to play with the Berlin and Vienna orchestras. The concert appearances were often accompanied by recording sessions, initially with the top American orchestras, then solo piano repertory in the 1970s with DG, and from 1957 until his final concerts in Britain, a long running partnership with the BBC, both 'live' and in the studio.

Extractions: This is music that is out of control, music that is throwing a tantrum, music that makes rage public ... what I found myself listening to the other day was a performance of the Appassionata that made me drop everything and listen in astonishment. It was a recording of a live performance given by the great Russian pianist Emil Gilels, in January 1961...in Russia. ... And what a performance it is! Gilels tears into it, and had me listening to it as if for the first time ever. It really is a weird piece, let me tell you. It is like a classical painting, covered in stab wounds, real ones I mean. Time and again, an infinitely tender phrase right out of the moonlight bit of the Moonlight Sonata (by the way, try the third movement of that as well!), which would normally end with a single chord, is yanked out of itself by the final soft chord being turned into a tantrum of extremely loud chords and then, as if shushed by an armed policeman, it goes back to another tender phrase as if nothing had happened. By 1961 I'm still guessing the word was starting seriously to get around about what had been going on and was still going on in Russia ... It still was not safe to talk about it all, but ...everyone knew very roughly what had been going on. ... Into such a world, this performance of the Appassionata by Emil Gilels erupted.

DVD Video Reviews I, NOV03 - AUDIOPHILE AUDITION emil gilels, piano, with the RTF Orchestra conducted by Andre Cluytens in Concert The bonus track, with pianist Rostropovich accompanying wife http://www.audaud.com/audaud/NOV03/DVD-V/dvd1NOV03.html
Extractions: Even within the limitations of the black and white format and slightly compressed mono sound, this is an exemplary series of concerts, taped 13 August 1960 (Ravel, Mussorgsky), 19 February 1959 (Prokofiev, taped in London), and 19 June 1959 (Tchaikovsky). Andre Cluytens (1905-1967) was at the peak of his form, after Charles Munch, the most renowned conductor in France. Emil Gilels (1916-1985) was no less a wily, seasoned veteran, especially in the Tchaikovsky Concerto, which he proceeded to tape in the US with Alfred Wallenstein and record with Fritz Reiner. The Ravel suite, whose opening shot comes right through the harp, is entirely fluid and natural in manner, with a persuasive, smooth Cluytens leading with big gestures and dramatic facial expressions. We have an extended view of the solo flute in the "Pantomime" section, and this sequence is barely "conducted," but allowed to play itself. By the time we enter the "Danse generale," the propulsion is as great as any achieved in "Bolero." The Mussorgsky, in Ravel's orchestration, is a piece Cluytens did not record commercially, but there is a off-the-air broadcast from Swiss Radio that was available on Ermitage. Cluytens takes great pains to mold and shape phrase lengths, catching the quirky accents in "Gnomus" and the wicked rhythms in "Baba-Yaga," up through the majesterial peroration in "The Great Gate of Kiev." The close confines of the studio setting cramp the histrionics of the proceedings, but Cluytens' mastery of colors and demanding voice entries is clearly in evidence.

Extractions: On the particular piece 'Improvisations on la Folia' is said at the same page: We have no surviving 16th-century choreography for the Folia melody, which was widely known and popular for almost three centuries. Dancers may improvise, as musicians love to do, to the haunting little strain or simply to its bass. You do not have to be a musicologist or a great analyser of 16th Century dances to recognize instantly in 'improvisations on la Folia' the later Folia-theme which was introduced (ok, i make an exception for Falconieri ) by Lully in 1672. The subtitle 'flowers of the 16th Century Italian Dance Music' is absolutely incorrect. I wonder what kind of dance is picked for this Baroque music pur sang and clearly intended for a listening audience the delicate way it is played. However the Folia theme (a nice blending of the Gallot and Ruiz de Ribayaz ) sounds great on the Chitaronne.
