Lubimov, who is unique in the extraordinary breadth of his musical expertise, first made his mark as a champion of contemporary composers in 1968, when he gave the Moscow debuts of works by John Cage and Terry Riley. He also premiered works by Schoenberg, Webern, Stockhausen, Boulez, Ives, Ligeti, and many others in the Soviet Union. He is the founder and artistic director of Alternativa, the Moscow festival of the musical avant-garde. For some years, Lubimov was denied permission to perform outside Russia. During this period he developed an interest in authentic instruments. In 1976, he formed the Moscow Baroque Quartet and gave the first performances on fortepiano in the USSR of works by Mozart and Haydn. Together with Tatiana Grindenko, he founded a baroque ensemble, the Moscow Chamber Academy. Since 1987 Lubimov has performed outside Russia. He made his North-American debut at Lincoln Center in April 1991. Lubimov has a long-term contract with Erato, for whom he has recorded the complete Mozart Sonatas on fortepiano. Recent releases include Schubert Impromptus, Beethoven Sonatas, and works by Chopin and Brahms.

Prokofiev learned the conductor's craft from Nikolai Tcherepnin (and Nikolai Malko), and he gained a fairly adequate technique in leading his own music, as well as music by Verdi and Beethoven. Stravinsky left a considerable legacy as a conductor, not only in his own music, but in that of Tchaikovsky as well; the 1941 Divertimento with the Symphony Orchestra of Mexico fairly coincides with his Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in New York with Erica Morini, which survives from a radio broadcast. -Gary Lemco SHOSTAKOVICH: Piano Quintet in G Minor, Op. 57; String Quartet No. 2 in A, Op. 68

Yuri Rorum Bio According to a survey of the Moscow press, the pianist Yuri Rozum belongs to a former student of the legendary heinrich neuhaus, and Yevgeni Malinin, http://www.mediaphon.de/yuri-rozum/yuri-bio-eng.htm
Extractions: According to a survey of the Moscow press, the pianist Yuri Rozum belongs to the top ten classical music artists in Russia . Recently he was granted the title of People's Honored Artist of Russia, the highest official award of the Russian people and a distinction he now shares with past Russian musical greats Sergei Prokofiev, Dmitri Shostakovich, and Mstislav Rostropovich. Considering his talent and charismatic personality, his reception of the award is not surprising. If, however, one considers his rocky path he had to take and the difficult circumstances of his beginnings, his success seems like a miracle. Yuri Rozum was born in Moscow into a family of musicians. His father Alexander Rozum, a gifted baritone with the Bolshoi Theater, and his mother Galina Rozhdestvenskaya, a professor at the famous Gnessin Institute, quickly recognized the musical talent and perfect pitch of their son. At the age of seven he enrolled at the Moscow conservatory and, after graduating at the very top of his class, began studying at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow with Lev Naumov, a former student of the legendary Heinrich Neuhaus, and Yevgeni Malinin, a former assistant to Neuhaus. At the age of 14, Rozum developed an interest in philosophy. One of the philosophers who exerted the most influence on him was the Russian religious philosopher

Elisso WIrssaladze The granddaughter of a famous pianist, she studied and graduated from theConservatory under her Another glorious musical hero was heinrich neuhaus, http://www.live-classics.com/wirssaladze.htm
Extractions: A Piano Legend Many Russian musicians are known for having their special public, and in the case of Elisso Wirssaladze, she attracts an audience familiar with the Conservatory Hall, those entirely cognisant of what is going to happen that particular evening. One first sees her light step along the stage and her charming smile meant to conceal her person at the moment when the music begins. Then one hears everything in her playing: the technique of her fingers is perfect, she works with the color and strength of the sound. The very act of touching keys reveals her stylistic diversity and wide range of ideals and emotions. ...It is vain, however, to analyze this phenomenon in an attempt to discover a clear and vivid source of her art, for in delineating Elissos image we will end up with merely an ideal constellation of qualities. That which is vital will elude us. We see an introvert, a deeply interior person, but we hear music open to the whole world, striving for infinity. The first impression is light, pleasant and rapturous, a bit later it is solemn, deeply imprinted, unforgettable. ...Elissos exceptional inner ease is admirable. She has had numerous opportunities to perform, but has made no effort to launch a super career. She doesnt want to plan years ahead, get lists of her future programs from someone other than herself, and make recordings in a studio. She willingly tours former Soviet Union cities and enjoys close contact with the audiences. Besides the Moscow Conservatory, she also teaches in Munich, but she never intends to forsake her alma mater, nor her classes famous for their students.

Both of Xenias older sisters are artists. She grew up in a cosmopolitan atmosphere of a house where music, literature, art and history fused together harmoniously and served as common interests uniting the children and their parents.

Robert Fulford's Column About Glenn Gould's 1957 Russian Tour He was the first North American pianist to play there since the Second World War, The writer, heinrich neuhaus, then 69, was a great piano teacher whose http://www.robertfulford.com/gould.html
Extractions: Globe and Mail , March 11, 1998) The great hall of the Moscow Conservatory was only half filled on May 7, 1957, the first night of Glenn Gould's first European tour. At the age of 24 Gould was already well launched in North America, having played with the New York Philharmonic under Leonard Bernstein and recorded Bach's Goldberg Variations. But in Russia he was largely unknownuntil the May 7 concert changed everything. News of his talent flashed around Moscow, and tickets for his remaining concerts sold out the next day. He "became famous literally overnight," according to Sofia Moshevich, a pianist who grew up in the Soviet Union and now lives in Toronto. She discusses Gould's Russian trip, a great event in Canadian cultural history, in an article for GlennGould , the twice-yearly magazine of the Gould Foundation (P.O. Box 190, 260 Adelaide Street East, Toronto M5A 1N1). An engaging combination of scholarship and nostalgia, GlennGould resurrects obscure Gould interviews and reviews, covers new Gould books, announces events like the international Gould conference in Toronto in September, 1999, and charts the progress of his reputation around the world. The issue containing the Russian piece also has a fascinating article about Gould's status in Japan, written by Junichi Miyazama, the writer and critic who regularly translates Gould material into Japanese.

Extractions: hamptoke@mail.armstrong.edu by Kevin Hampton As many children progress into puberty, their joints tend to gain firmness, usually about the ages of ten or eleven. For some, however, this does not happen, and the joints of the fingers remain spongy. As such, my remarks from this point will be directed toward those students whose physical development and age would be about the age of twelve or older. However, their individual musical and technical development may be elementary, intermediate or advanced. There are various aural and visual indicators that can point to joint laxity, and we as teachers need to be more aware of them. As we listen to our students play in a lesson or performance, certain sounds can indicate physiological problems such as joint laxity: inappropriate accents that do not match the meter, pulse, or articulations indicated in a given composition; unevenly matched tones in scales, arpeggios, or chords; or a seeming inability to produce gradual dynamic changes. If we hear such inconsistencies, we should focus our attention on the physical approach by which the student is playing the keyboard. Visually, it may appear that a student is playing with the forearms, pushing them downward, most often on notes which are played by the thumbs, the fifth, and fourth fingers. Such a physical approach will produce false accents, and the tone of a melody, scalar pattern, arpeggio, or accompaniment pattern will be inconsistent: some tones will not sound or lack focus. Another visual clue is often found in the wrists: they may be hyperextended, taking on the appearance of being humped upward. When this occurs, the bridge of the hand will almost always be in a state of collapse, and frequently, the shape of the hand may look gnarled or twisted out of alignment.
