Extractions: Pianist Ivan Moravec - Mozart Concerto in A, K.488 San Francisco Symphony Ivan Moravec - Mozart K.488 by Lyn Bronson Pianist Ivan Moravec and his wife Zuzana That is, of course, except for the Mozart Concerto in A Major, K.488 featuring the distinguished Mr. Moravec, but then Prague with its rich musical life played an important role in Mozarts career, so you could say that there was still a Czech flavor about this concert. It is always a pleasure to hear Mr. Moravec, for he is a thorough musician who consistently exhibits great integrity in his music making. In his playing there is nothing for show or effect, only love and respect for the inherent values in the music itself. Whereas some pianists might attempt to bring a more brilliant, virtuoso approach to performing the Mozart A Major Concerto, Moravec gave us an intimate and subtle chamber music performance. Always listening to the orchestra, he molded and blended his performance so that he became an integral part of the ensemble. To hear the way he shaped his phrases with loving care, sometimes tapering them off to a delicious

Extractions: Janacek, Smetana, Suk , Ivan Moravec (piano), LSO St Lukes, Old Street EC1, 13 th May 2004 (MB) The warmth of the acoustic at St Lukes could only help Moravecs famed velvety tone emerge as it should. His keyboard control impressively untouched by age (he is now 74) - verges between pianissimi of breathtaking stillness to fortes of savage yet controlled intensity. Both were evident in a profound performance of Janaceks great 1923 Sonata 1.X.1905 ("From the Street") , one of the most anguished of all twentieth century piano works (incomplete though it is). Whether it be in the calm wistfulness of Foreboding or the frenzied angst that illuminates the central section of Death there could be no doubt that Moravec was utterly inside the composers idiom. This performance had a rare emotional strength to it; combined with transcendental keyboard colour it is hard to imagine a better one than we heard here. This was also the case with the two composers Moravec programmed beside the sonata: Smetana and Suk. The formers Polka in G minor and Polka in A minor, both as infectious in their rhythmic control as they were brooding in their colour, were spontaneous vignettes; Suks Humoresque in C major and Humoresque, Op.7 No 2 were delivered with panache and brilliance. That careful pedal control so evident throughout the recital merely added to the impression that here was a pianist who not only knows this music intimately but with every keystroke laid open a world of intimate emotion, captured with rapturous tone.

Extractions: "Mozart of course strongly influenced Czechs," he continued. "The melodic and rhythmic structure of his music was very near to the feeling of not only professional musicians, but to that of ordinary people as well. The slightly folksy character of the main theme of the third movement of this concerto could remind of a Bohemian folk song, but I don't think there was any conscious connection." Richard Dyer of the Boston Globe has said, "Moravec is one of the few pianists today who has his own sound; once you have heard it you can identify it immediately. This kind of individuality was more common in an earlier generation." When asked how he maintains this character, when he plays on a different piano for every concert, Moravec replies, "The first thing is a strong inner need for a long, beautiful tone. If you don't have it, you will try to force your hand to use all technical means to reach it. Each time I need to spend at least five hours at a new instrument to know what it can give me. Needless to say, I always welcome working with a good technician!"

Review Of Ivan Moravec 1997 Cleveland Concert The pianist was ivan moravec, the Czechborn artist who made his US debut with the Cleveland Orchestra in 1964 under George Szell. moravec then waited until http://www.ivanmoravec.net/journal/oldrevs/clev1997rev.html
Extractions: Events In all, a winning combination Franz Welser-Most has a knack for putting together absorbing and enchanting musical combinations. The enchantment factor was especially high in Severance Hall last night, when Welser-Most led the Cleveland Orchestra in three French works of narrative persuasion and a Mozart piano concerto that reintroduced a master to the Cleveland audience. The pianist was Ivan Moravec, the Czech-born artist who made his U.S. debut with the Cleveland Orchestra in 1964 under George Szell. Moravec then waited until 1994 to perform again with the orchestra, this time at Blossom Music Center. His absence from Severance has been a shame, but at least it's over. Moravec's vehicle last night was Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, K. 466, among the darker works the composer wrote in the genre. It is quite the opposite side of the concerto coin from the Piano Concerto No. 17 that Claude Frank played so superbly Monday with the Israel Camerata at Akron's E. J. Thomas Hall. Like Frank, Moravec is a musician interested in conveying what the composer set down - nothing more, nothing less. Yet while Moravec allowed Mozart to sound like Mozart, he had individual things to contribute. His was a performance of aristocratic suavity, with poised phrasing and transparent textures that cast the tragic, turbulent material in pristine focus.

Extractions: Piano concerts are a challenge. Typically, the performer concentrates on his/her hands on the ivories. If it's in a darkened hall, this means the pianist's face is normally in shadow. Add to this the need to blimp the camera, there's no way to get the keys in the same frame as the performerâs eyes, they typically wear black on a dark background with a black piano... The problems mount.
