Extractions: Founder and Artistic Director Mikhail Pletnev is an artist whose genius as pianist, conductor and composer enchants and amazes audiences around the globe. His musicianship encompasses a dazzling technical power and provocative emotional range, and a searching interpretation that fuses instinct with intellect. At the keyboard and podium alike, Pletnev is recognized as one of the finest artists of our time. Pletnev was Gold Medal and First Prize winner of the 1978 Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition when he was only 21, a prize that earned him early recognition worldwide. An invitation to perform at the 1988 superpower summit in Washington led to a friendship with Mikhail Gorbachev and the historic opportunity to make music in artistic freedom. In 1990 Pletnev formed the first independent orchestra in Russia's history. The risks of this step, even with Gorbachev's endorsement, were enormous and it was Pletnev's reputation and commitment that made his long-held dream a reality. Sharing his vision for a new model for the performing arts, many of the country's finest musicians joined Pletnev in launching the Russian National Orchestra. Under his leadership, the RNO achieved in a few short years a towering stature among the world's orchestras. Pletnev describes the RNO as his greatest joy and today serves as its Artistic Director and head of the
Extractions: In a rare and exclusive interview, Mikhail Pletnev talks to Lynnda Greene about one of the musical phenomenons of modern times Surely no pianist on the circuit today has invited such disparate observations from the media as Mikhail Pletnev. Indeed, some writers, perhaps flummoxed by this most private of artists, have so enjoyed parodying every personal gesture and artistic peculiarity that we're barely able to discern between character and caricature. As rendered by their leagues, he is by turns the difficult, diabolical genius infamous for devouring writers alive; the icy mastermind of superhuman technical power, provocative emotional range and daredevil cheek; the infuriating antagonist of the Urtext - a quixotic figure embellished with the now standard references to the chain-smoked cigarettes, the pallbearer walk, the bloodhound stoicism, the impenetrable gloom on the inscrutable gravitas features. Such, we are told, is the magnificent conundrum that is Russia's finest pianist. But on a blustery afternoon last March in New York City's Steinway Hall, where he has been practising for a recital the following evening, Pletnev seems none of the above. In fact, one suspects the maestro has developed a certain modus operandi that, honed over years, he deploys on select journalistic occasions entirely for reportorial consumption. This is not one of them. Hesitant and tired from two long flights in recent days, he brightens when his American manager, also a good friend, shows up unexpectedly to make an impromptu threesome. It's said Russians like best to talk over a kitchen table, not easy to find in Midtown Manhattan, but we make do with a secluded booth in a tony dive across 57th Street where serendipity is the day's speciality; there will be no agenda, no questions, no tape recorder. What follows over the next two hours is not an interview but an easeful flowering, genus glasnost.

Extractions: In just a decade, Switzerland's annual Verbier Festival has become one of the premier international musical celebrations, attracting a who's who of world-renowned artists to the Swiss countryside, in the shadow of the Alps, for more than two weeks of classical music performances. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the festival, a group of the world's greatest pianists gathered to play arrangements of classical favorites for four to 16 hands on one to eight pianos. Pianists Leif Ove Andsnes, Nicholas Angelich, Martha Argerich, Emanuel Ax, Claude Frank, Evgeny Kissin, Lang Lang, James Levine, Mikhail Pletnev, and Staffan Scheja perform works by Mozart Wagner , Rimsky-Korsakov, Smetana, Sousa , and Gottschalk. Also featured is Bach Perhaps Switzerland's tony ski resorts of St. Moritz, Gstaad, and Zermatt are more widely known, but the attractions of Verbier extend beyond skiing to include its annual summer classical music festival. The dream team of pianists performing together on the same stage at Verbier is a rare sight, and one perhaps more common to concerts from past centuries. Learn more about the origins of this type of piano extravaganza in the essay by writer Marc Geelhoed. Meet one of the evening's noted international piano stars, Leif Ove Andsnes, from Norway, in
