Extractions: Ruth Laredo, a classical pianist whose style combined passionate ferocity with refined elegance, died May 25 of ovarian cancer, which she had battled for four years. Her last performance was May 6 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in one of her long-running performance/lecture sessions known as "Concertos with Commentary," a format that was so popular that she had begun to offer it in other venues around the world. Ms. Laredo was born Ruth Meckler in 1937 and studied piano with her mother, Miriam Meckler. She made her orchestral debut at 11, playing with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra at the State Fairgrounds. She studied with Rudolf Serkin at the Curtis Institute, graduating in 1960, having absorbed Serkins dictum that interpretive artists must base their performance decisions upon the information contained within the score. Ms. Laredo performed with a signature blend of fiery emotion, assured technique, and refined intelligence, and her concerts were always immensely rewarding. Among the public at large, she is perhaps best known for her Beethoven, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, and DeFalla, although it was always a treat to hear her Ravel, Stravinsky, Barber, and Rorem as well. However, among audiophiles, she may well be best known for her recordings of the complete piano sonatas of Scriabin for the Connoisseur label, which introduced many of us to these transcendental works for the first time, while also raising the bar for recorded piano sound. Laredo also possessed a lively writing style, as evidenced in her

Extractions: Beginning with a desire to hear and play beautiful music in a refreshing summer setting away from the city, the Manchester Music Festival was formed in 1974 by Carroll Glenn, violinist, and her husband Eugene List, pianist. The couple established a concert series at the Southern Vermont Arts Center's Arkell Pavilion and founded a music school. They called their summer adventure the Southern Vermont Music Festival. In 1981, Carroll Glenn was offered a chance to play in China a remarkable opportunity for an equally remarkable musician. She had been a child prodigy at 11 the youngest student ever admitted to Juilliard. Carroll Glenn met pianist Eugene List while both were students at Juilliard. They married and toured the world together playing with major orchestras in the US, Europe, South America and the Far East. List himself was a celebrated musician who was given the honor of performing the American premiere of Shostakovitch's Piano Concerto #1 in 1935. Furthermore, List was a favorite of US presidents, especially Harry Truman. On quite a few occasions, List played at the White House and he was even summoned to perform at the Potsdam Conference for Truman, Stalin and Churchill. Since the early 1960s, the couple had visited Manchester, sometimes performing or giving master classes at the Southern Vermont Arts Center. Michael Rudiakov came to Manchester through a chance meeting with Glenn and List on the trip to China. Rudiakov, a cellist who had carved out a name for himself as a chamber musician, soloist and impresario, accepted the Lists' offer to join the Southern Vermont Festival in 1983. In 1984, the name was changed to the Manchester Music Festival and it became a not-for-profit corporation.
