To celebrate the event, TDK has joined forces with the Schubertiade and Austrian Television to present a very special concert on DVD. In 1991, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau finally agreed to perform Schuberts Die Schöne Müllerin at the Feldkirch Schubertiade - he had not sung the song-cycle in public for twenty years. The great baritone belonged to the innermost circle of artists who give this unique, Austrian festival of chamber music its distinctive character. He had performed Schubert there on many occasions, but never Die Schöne Müllerin. The pianist András Schiff was another long-standing member of the inner circle, but this was the artists first collaboration in Feldkirch and so Austrian Television (ORF) recorded the concert. The documentary importance of this film was enhanced by Fischer-Dieskaus retirement from public performance two years later. During another Schubertiade a few years earlier, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau was interviewed by music journalist Franz Zoglauer. The resulting documentary of singer, painter and private person augments the concert presented on this DVD. The singer speaks of his affinity to Schubert and the composers influence on the whole Lieder repertoire. With regard to his many recordings, Fischer-Dieskau declares that he has always considered these as snapshots of a particular situation and never as definitive statements on the repertory. He states that an interpretation should always be able to react to the surrounding situation, the accompanist and the audience and that, to keep a composition alive and meaningful, a performer must always be ready to approach a work afresh.

Extractions: by Jay Nordlinger I U.S. Y E B A E That Beethoven sonata was the one in A C Out of Doors D F -sharp major, and it was truly superb. Shiveringly beautiful. The second was some more Bach, some music from the Partita No. 1 in B G -flat major, which Schiff rendered adequately. Such a strange, strange night. A A Burleske T Following the Romances was more Schumann, his Faschingsschwank aus Wien Carnival Jest from Vienna B -flat sonata, D. L eon Fleisher? His story is well known, but I will retell it briefly. He was a widely acclaimed young pianist of the 1950s and 1960s. At the zenith of his career, he lost the use of his right arm, owing to a neurological disorder. He turned to teaching, conducting, and music for the left hand alone. Slowly, slowly, he has returned to some two-handed repertory. Now seventy-five, he played with both hands at Carnegie Hall for the first time since 1947. (The program was a mixture of two-handed music and left-hand music.) This was a great night, certainly emotionally, and often musically. Sheep May Safely Graze The pianist later returned to Bach, but he first traversed the work of four American composers: Dina Koston, George Perle, Leon Kirchner, and Roger Sessions. Many composers have written left-hand-alone music for him, just as many wrote such music for Paul Wittgenstein, the famous pianist (brother of the philosopher) who lost his right arm in World War

Extractions: For a live recording in the Christchurch Town Hall, these are mighty performances full of spontaneity. Diedre Irons and Marc Taddei are in perfect sync with warmly phrased slow movements and lively Beethovenian syncopations in the allegros. Irons shows her international class here. She'd need to, considering the cluttered CD market for these concertos.
Classical CDs, Pt.2 OCT03 - AUDIOPHILE AUDITION pianist Angela Yoffe and Vadim Gluzman deserve high commendation for BACHGoldberg Variations András schiff, piano - ECM New Series1825 (72 mins.) http://www.audaud.com/audaud/OCT03/CLASSICAL/clcds2OCT03.html
Extractions: 24 Preludes for Violin and Piano are charming, ironic, and dramatic. This is the first release of her own works. Like the oeuvre of that other writer-composer, Paul Bowles (and to some extent Robert Schumann), she has a keen sense of the dramatic. Her miniatures, the longest of which is 5:37, often tell tales. No. 3, begins with a cloyingly sweet melody, evoking a little girl prancing in the woods. Suddenly jarring chords intrude, as if tragedy strikes. A diminished version of the opening theme, higher in key and slower, winds out the piece. Are fairy tales for fools? No. 4 sounds like a melodramatics pastiche of Rachmaninov. Close listening of other pieces reveals traces of her native Russian dances, with sly dissonant interludes inserted when least expected. Goldberg Variations, coming twenty years after his first (for Decca), is the most purely joyful recording I can remember. Schiff's comfort and ease with Bach's train of thought are so complete that he can rely on relatively slight changes in speed and phrasing to carry the listener along while he improvises here and there according to what seems to be uncanny rapport with the individual listener. There is nothing clever about these improvisations, nothing doctrinaire, nothing predictable; they just happen from time to time as if they had spontaneously come into the pianist's mind and fingers.

The Edinburgh International Festival -- Reviews The Hungarian pianist András schiff is now a wellloved and established favouriteat the Edinburgh International Festival. In the first of two late night http://www.edinburghguide.com/festival/2000/eif2000/reviews.shtml
Extractions: We live in a world that has only a pale belief in magic, most sense of gods, spirits and angels abolished. Our rationalist, existential sense of lone individual identity is the realm into which Stuttgart State Opera radically transmute the magical elements of Handel's Alcina. They take the line that the 18th century composer can only have regarded the witchcraft side of his libretto as a mere device to stage confusing adulterous relationships and avoid Hanoverian censorship. Never mind that this rationalist age still witnessed such potent belief in the supernatural that witches were yet being burned. Our Handel, in his mid fifties, might just have been looking right past all that. Taken straight, the libretto remodels a story from Orlando Furioso and is, in effect, an Enlightenment age take on a 'fairy tale' plot. Alcina is a sorceress who keeps unfortunate visitors bound to her island under a spell. But, in love with Ruggiero (one of her victims) she loses this power. The idea of such a loss, such a failure of magic, together with an ending that (supposedly) shows triumphal liberation from its thrall, is the central idea.

Extractions: As the New York Times said, Mr Schiff is, in Bach, a phenomenon. He doesnt so much perform it as emit, breathe it. Made to address the changes that have taken place in his approach to Bach, (and also in response to numerous requests from fellow musicians and the public), Schiffs new Goldberg recording is, from multiple perspectives, a major event. The fluency of the playing in this concert recording from Basel is quietly astonishing, the technical demands of the work transcended with uncanny gracefulness. On the structure of the work: The strict observance of repeats is quite crucial in these Variations. When I was younger I tried to use all the resources available to achieve variety. These included transposing certain sections an octave up or down, something that could easily be done on the two-manual harpsichord with registration. So this was my homage to the harpsichord. It also emphasizes one aspect of my approach: the joy of playing, playfulness. Nevertheless twenty years later we may prefer subtler means.

Extractions: By Peter G. Davis B ack in the distant past, when every family of means owned a piano, any child who learned to play eventually tackled Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. The notes of these 48 preludes and fugues are readily available to most young fingers I've just heard a new recording of Book 2 played by a remarkable 10-year-old, Albert Wong (Ivory Classics 71007) and whoever gets this music into his ears early in life never forgets it. I imagine that accounts for the audible sigh of happy recognition that escaped from the adult sitting behind me at Carnegie Hall not long ago, when launched his two-concert traversal of The Well-Tempered Clavier with the rippling arpeggios of the C-major Prelude. Of course, the infinitely varied sound world of this music can only become that much more intriguing when addressed by a real virtuoso who has lived with the score for many years. And like virtually all of Bach's works, it responds to any number of different types of keyboard instruments and interpretive approaches. The modern grand piano is Schiff's instrument of choice, and this composer has long been among his specialties. Schiff first played a comparable Bach marathon here to celebrate the great man's tercentenary in 1985. He offered the complete back then a towering compilation of masterpieces that includes the six partitas
