Keyboard Studies - Piano Department Each year the piano department chooses a senior pianist to represent Oberlin in a series of Stephen Hough; Jeffrey Kahane; ivan moravec; Garrick Ohlsson http://www.oberlin.edu/con/divinfo/keyboard/piano.html
Extractions: An especially strong keyboard faculty, many opportunities to perform, superb facilities, and an active schedule of master classes and residencies by visiting artists - these are the components that make an Oberlin education exceptional for piano majors. The members of the piano faculty are nationally known performers, ensemble players, guest teachers, and lecturers. Their interests include early keyboard instruments, vocal and instrumental accompanying, and avant-garde techniques. They also represent a wide variety of pedagogic approaches. Two department members were formerly teaching members of the Leningrad Conservatory; others represent the Schnabel and Lhevinne traditions. In addition, the faculty includes a leading authority on group and private pedagogy of elementary piano methods and intermediate materials and a specialist on period instruments. Faculty-supervised student teaching gives students firsthand pedagogical experience.

Through a flexible curriculum that includes private lessons, studio classes, and repertoire courses, they cover a wide range of musical literature. Recently offered courses have included Improvisation at the Organ, and a year-long course covering the history of the organ and its literature from the earliest times to the present.

Extractions: Piano Sonatas: An Overview of Selected Recordings By Ron Drummond [The following survey of Beethoven sonata recordings, written in 1996, was never intended to be comprehensive. It was meant as a survey of selected recordings. There were numerous famous recordings that I deliberately chose not to include, some because they were already known quantities and others because at the time I was not yet sufficiently familiar with them to comment. The recordings I did survey struck me then, and still strike me now, as being important and significant and worthy of your consideration. Ron Drummond, 9/23/04] Any complete recording of a cycle as diverse as Beethoven's is going to be uneven, period. You will not find a be-all end-all. Nevertheless, I do think it's useful to have a complete recording by one artist, for the insights a single, refined sensibility can bring to Beethoven across the full range of his sonatas. But one should also consider supplementing a complete recording with additional recordings of individual sonatas by various performers. Of complete sets, I highly recommend Richard Goode on Elektra/Nonesuch. Goode has been praised in almost all quarters as perhaps the finest surveyor of Beethoven's sonatas since Schnabel. He has all the chops and a wealth of feeling and insight to convey. The recording is state of the art. Though superb throughout, Goode is at his best in Sonatas 12-18.

Extractions: After the icy chill of Tchaikovskys dramatic Tempest Overture, a whipping and stinging maelstrom, we hear Shostakovichs fascinating early incidental music for Hamlet, which veers towards the grotesque and comic. A pupil of Michelangeli, the legendary Czech pianist Ivan Moravec plays one of Mozarts most ambiguous and complex concertos, light alternating with shade, cheerfulness with a darker expression. In Stravinskys most popular ballet, The Firebird, a battle rages between good and evil, the glittering firebird versus the green-taloned ogre Kashchei.
Metroactive Art | San Jose Symphony More Notes Than Notions Guest pianist ivan moravec. SJ Symphony scores with. Panufnik, strikes out with. Beethoven and Shostakovich. By Philip Collins http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/10.19.95/symph-9542.html
Extractions: Photo by Anost Nosek More Notes Than Notions: Guest pianist Ivan Moravec SJ Symphony scores with Panufnik, strikes out with Beethoven and Shostakovich By Philip Collins More attractive in concept than execution, the San Jose Symphony's program last Saturday consisted of rough-edged renderings of key works by Beethoven, Shostakovich and Polish composer Andrzej Panufnik (1914-1991). Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4 received an underwhelming going-over by veteran virtuoso Ivan Moravec, and although Shostakovich's naughty Symphony No. 9 had sumptuous moments, blemishes undermined a good many prominent episodes. The San Jose Symphony Home Page has this season's complete schedule. Oddly enough, Panufnik's immensely challenging Sinfonia sacra (1964) came closest to the mark. Music Director Leonid Grin gave the work its due, drawing from the orchestra a reading that was both informed and spirited. Panufnik's Sinfonia sacra is a work of strength and beauty. The composer gracefully accomplished his stated purpose of invoking religious, as well as heroic, virtues in musical terms. Composed as a tribute to Poland's Millennium of Christianity and Statehood, the Sinfonia sacra draws plentifully from this country's history.
Extractions: By Peter G. Davis Illustration by Sean McCabe Apparently conductors like to teach as much as they enjoy entertaining people or simply showing off, since nearly all orchestral concerts nowadays have some sort of instructive premise. James Levine has not yet spent a full season as the Boston Symphonys new music director, but he is already giving his audiences plenty of what he thinks is good for them, especially new music. No doubt many listeners object to taking their medicine, but that hardly keeps Dr. Levine from vigorously administering fresh doses. The orchestras latest visit to Carnegie Hall offered new scores by two of Levines favorite contemporariesJohn Harbison and Charles Wuorinen, both born in 1938and in between was Stravinskys severe and tersely compressed twelve-tone Movements for Piano and Orchestra , a late work completed in 1959. The Brahms Second Symphony came lastnot exactly a sweetmeat, but in this context definitely a spoonful of sugar.
