Dan Franklin Smith - Hans Huber dan franklin smith discovered the Atterberg Piano Concerto at the Lincoln While he is a concert pianist who performs all over the world, smith is also http://www.danfranklinsmith.com/Huber.htm
Extractions: "In the brief description of the music in his monograph on the composer from 1944, Huber's friend and biographer Edgar Refardt emphasized that these works were intended for a restricted circle of the composer's colleagues and pupils, who repeatedly stepped in as performers to assist with the dissemination of the concertos. 'Robert Freund, Otto Hegner, Rudolf Ganz and Ernst Levy have shown not just Switzerland but all the world what a pianist can achieve with a piano concerto by HansHuber. The most effective of the entire series remains the Third.' Even if Hans Huber's piano concertos to some extent owe their existence to specific occasions and friendships, they nevertheless extend of perception of this versatile and multi-faceted composer."
Extractions: ARTHUR HINTONS PIANO CONCERTO, Lambeth Orchestra, Christopher Fifield, March 2002 (LF) At St Lukes, West Norwood on Saturday 23 March 2002, the Lambeth Orchestra and their conductor Christopher Fifield were joined by the American pianist Dan Franklin Smith for the revival of the four movement Piano Concerto in D minor by Arthur Hinton (1869-1941), which ran for around 31 minutes. Hintons birth and death dates give us the clue: he is the exact contemporary of Walford Davies, and although one encounters his name from time to time in connection with the musical scene at the beginning of the twentieth century, other than some piano miniatures played literally decades ago by Frank Laffitte, I cannot remember having heard anything by him before, though he has long been on my list of names to explore. The Piano Quintet, Violin Sonata and a programmatic piano suite A Summer Pilgrimage in the White Mountains (all published) look comparatively inexpensive and rewarding ways to explore further.
Extractions: Knowing Huber's symphonies, I received this disc with great expectations. There are comparatively few Swiss composers of whom Frank Martin is undoubtedly the finest but not in fashion due to the fickleness of the music public. Music lovers are unsteady, unfaithful and sometimes volatile and they move with convention, that is to say what is generally acceptable as fashionable at the time, and, as a consequence, composers suffer. Honegger was a fine Swiss composer (his work Joan of Arc at the Stake

Extractions: End Notes On Feb. 7-9, the "International Conference on Gandhian Alternative to War and Terrorism" was held at Gandhi Bhavan, Thycaud, Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala, India. Peace researchers and activists gathered from around the globe to examine this era of "new war" that has followed the terrorist attacks in the United States, and to search for a means to build a world of peace and nonviolence. SGI President Ikeda sent a message to the conference that was read before the full assembly. Indian president Kocheril Raman Narayanan, vice president Krishna Kant, and former Indian president R. Venkataraman also sent messages in support of the event. The conference was sponsored by the International Center of Gandhian Studies and Research (Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti), in association with the G. Ramachandran Institute of Nonviolence and other organizations. In his message, President Ikeda introduced words of optimism and hope from Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. President Ikeda noted that these two champions of nonviolence always maintained an optimistic attitude because of their abiding faith in the limitless capacity of the power of the human spirit. Also, President Ikeda observed that the violent nature inherent in contemporary civilization stems from structural and cultural violence. The key to opening the door to a century of peace and nonviolence, he asserted, lies in the example of Gandhi's nonviolent struggle.
