Extractions: Member of The Rachmaninoff Society Much of the information in this page is based on Scott Colebank's (of Prairie Village of Kansas, USA) Discography of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, op. 30 . I'm extremely grateful to Mr. Colebank for his research on the Third Concerto and his permission to allow me to create this page based on his research. Please see below for more information about Mr. Colebank's research on the Third Concerto and how you can contact The Rachmaninoff Society These views are my own and do not represent those of The Rachmaninoff Society Mr. Scott Colebank nor the National University of Singapore . Kindly send your views and comments to Kar-Gee, Tan . This is my first-ever attempt to create an HTML page and I hope to be able to improve on it in terms of contents and presentation. So, your suggestions and constructive criticism will be kindly appreciated. The Third (as it will be known for the rest of this article) was completed as a major composition which Rachmaninoff would "show off" in New York in 1909 during his first concert tour of USA. He wrote the work in the peace of his family's country estate, Ivanovka, and it was completed on 23 September 1909 (Julian Calendar).

Extractions: [Times file photo (1982)] Many years ago, in the luxurious Manhattan townhouse of Vladimir and Wanda Horowitz, a prominent young pianist named Constance Keene asked, after a game of bridge with her hosts, if she could play something for the maestro. Horowitz, his patterned silk bow tie and matching pocket square slightly askew, consented. Taking her seat at the Steinway grand, she launched into one of Rachmaninoff's most difficult works, his Prelude in E Flat Minor. She waited for the verdict. "It was wonderful," he said. "But you should speed up at the end."

Extractions: Full Review virtuosi are those who can, when at their best, create plays the music; a virtuoso owns the music, thereby engendering something altogether new, something magnificent. In our hyper-kinetic, information-saturated world, we may have lost the capability to produce true musical geniuses. If we can, their subtle voices are subsumed in the strident siren song of the media, their very art harnessed to the maleficent money mill that drives our culture. Sometimes we must look to the past for inspiration, to a time when art could still be something relatively pure and untrammeled. Perhaps this is what

Extractions: The fact that Vladimir Horowitz has not been amongst us for nine years has seen no decline in the interest of this pianist. If you are a piano aficionado like me, then you probably miss his occasional new release on discs. On the other hand, his recorded legacy is huge, almost from the beginning to the conclusion of his life. All the more reason to take any live-performance recording by The Boss, as he was once called. Nobody in the record business does a finer job of restoring old piano recordings better than APR. They have as a director, Mr. Edwin Alan, whose brainchild APR apparently is. Everything APR does, from the processing, liner notes, and packaging is first class. They also have at their disposal, Bryan Crimp who spent time with EMI in England, restoring historical recordings for that great company. Crimp does the transferring and remastering. He probably could have had another life as a writer or journalist; his writing of notes included in APR releases is as brilliant as his remastering talents. From the opening of the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 through the final movement, you will find yourself on the edge of your seat. I recall hearing another live performance of this concerto recorded just prior to Horowitzs retirement in 1953 (with George Szell conducting) that concluded in very much the same manner as this March 1940 performance. It is quite simply the most incredible piano virtuosity one can hear. Horowitz colors the music with his unique palette making this one of the most memorable performances you will ever hear. The sonority of his instrument becomes orchestral. Horowitz is like a demon pulling the sound from his piano like no one else. The music demands it. His sound is uniquely his. It cannot be compared to anyone else.

Extractions: Price: $15.99 Vladimir Horowitz Pianist Piano virtuoso Vladimir Horowitz was born in Russia, but made his name at his sensational 1928 Carnegie Hall debut performing Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1. His command of the technically difficult work of Liszt and Rachmaninoff was unparalleled, as were his interpretations of the music of Scriabin and Clementi. His many recordings won him almost two dozen Grammy awards and worldwide acclaim. He was married in 1933 to Wanda Toscanini, daughter of the conductor Arturo Toscanini.
