Extractions: In Paris in 1902, the twenty-five-year-old conductor gave the first performance of Wagner's and later Parsifal German Requiem , Liszt's Saint Elizabeth Oratorio , and even Beethoven's Missa Solemnis which, amazing as it sounds, took eighty-five years to reach Paris from Vienna. Besides this, he championed many contemporary French works both as a conductor and pianist. Ever restless and musically hungry, he formed a piano trio with Pablo Casals and Jacques Thibaud in 1905, which must rank as one of the finest chamber ensembles in history. Fortunately, their art is captured in several priceless recordings including Beethoven's Archduke Trio, Schubert's B-flat Trio, and the Mendelssohn and Schumann D minor Trios, while Cortot's conducting may be heard in the Brahms Double Concerto with Casals and Thibaud as soloists. Cortot's dedication to his art was tireless. He once warned Lipatti, "If you decide to dedicate your life to this art you must be armed with patience, and be ready for many sacrifices". Cortot's musical advice was often highly detailed. After a public performance by Lipatti of the Liszt Piano Concerto No. 1, Lipatti wrote home: "At the end of the concert Cortot opened the score and made some interesting remarks. He would have liked bars 22-23, in the third section (Scherzo), played a little more freely, more capriciously. Also in the Scherzo, bars 141-161, he suggested I play a tremolo (similar to the one which precedes the last scale-passage in the Coda) instead of a trill, as only in this way will it sound clearly and powerfully. The same applies to bars 70-72 in the Finale. As to bars 80-85, he suggests I play them in the version given as 'ossia', not in original form. He also showed me several changes in the score added later by Liszt himself..."

Janos Solyom -- The Wide-Spectrum Pianist This is not only due to his distinguished career as a concert pianist but Nadia Boulanger and magda tagliaferro in Paris His official debut in Sweden http://www.solyom.com/spectrum.html
Extractions: However Hungarian by birth, Janos Solyom is by now an integral part of the musical history of Sweden, his adopted home-country for over four decades. This is not only due to his distinguished career as a concert pianist but also to his contributions to Swedish musical life as an educator and "popularizer" of classical music. An imaginative approach to programming combined with countless radio and television shows over the years have firmly established Janos Solyom as one of Scandinavia's most popular profiles in music, just as well-known to concert audiences as to immigration officers at Stockholm's Arlanda Airport. The Past As one would expect of someone born 1938 in Budapest, Hungary, Janos Solyom is a straight-line descendant of the proud musical traditions of Liszt, Bartók and Ligeti. He studied piano, composition and conducting at the Bartók Conservatory and the Liszt Academy of Music under the most renowned teachers of the time: Arnold Székely, Kornél Zempléni, Lajos Hernádi, Leo Weiner, Ervin Major and János Viski. After having escaped Hungary as a result of the 1956 uprising Mr.Solyom settled down in Sweden. Being only 18 at the time, he continued his studies for Ilona Kabos in London, Nadia Boulanger and Magda Tagliaferro in Paris His official debut in Sweden took place in 1958 with the Stockholm Philharmonic. Since then he has been touring extensively in Sweden, the rest of Scandinavia, in most parts of Europe, the Americas, Israel and China. He has also performed regularly on radio and television, especially for the BBC where he has been a regular for many years.
Stereophile: 1998 Records To Die For Though Brazilianborn, Paris-trained pianist magda tagliaferro died honored,loved, and decorated in 1987 at age 94, she doesn t even rate an entry in the http://stereophile.com/records2die4/83/index10.html
Extractions: Not only is this pure-pop confection a record to die for, it's one that saved my life. When the winter weather got hazardous, as it often did during my daily commute between Massachusetts and New Hampshire, it was Nashvillian Bill Lloyd's '60s-meet-'90s melodies, lyrical humor, and warm Anglo-American vibe that kept me focused on the road despite white-outs and sleet. Set to Pop is in that stratospheric big league with Zuma Pet Sounds Revolver , and I'm With Stupid . But if I could choose just one, it would be Lloyd's flawless, captivatingly catchy, slightly twisted, and always inviting work of brilliance. Hit the Random button and glow. BOB DYLAN: Blonde on Blonde Thirty-plus years and incalculable listenings later, Dylan's most ambitious session remains his most enduring. I still discover a new lyrical twist or nuance of phrasing every time I hear "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again," "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands," or, for that matter, most of the 14 songs here. Recorded in Nashville, this is hardly a country record, though there's an edgy rootsiness to the playing and a depth to the mood, the poetry, and the vocals that defy time while transporting, even hypnotizing this listener back to a very different one. Folk and blues, tender ballads, and raunchy rockers meld seamlessly, making every spin of this work of genius as thrilling as the first.

Bartok A pianist, theorist, music historian and teacher, Bartók wrote primarily forinstruments rather than magda tagliaferro Marisa Monte Mozart MP3.com http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Villa/3170/bbbartok.htm
Extractions: Não deixe de visitar os links de música no final desta página ... Bela Bartók , compositor húngaro contemporâneo de Férenczi A giant of 20th century music, Bela Bartók was a brilliant and original composer who drew inspiration from both his classical contemporaries - most notably Wagner and Strauss - and the folk melodies of his homeland. A pianist, theorist, music historian and teacher, Bartók wrote primarily for instruments rather than for voices, and over the course of his career revolutionized virtually every concept of tonality (or lack thereof) in existence. Bartok started his professional career as a pianist, and made several successful tours of the European continent after his graduation from the Academy in 1902. He did not pursue composition as a primary activity until after his appointment to the piano faculty at the Budapest Academy in 1907. From this time on, he wrote reams of orchestral, chamber and solo music, taught theory, and performed solo recitals and concert engagements throughout Europe and in the United States. Bartok wrote a large volume of piano works, most notably the brilliant Mikrokosmos (1926-37), a six-book collection of piano teaching pieces which, although simple in form, show his genius as a harmonic and rhythmic innovator. He also wrote a wealth of chamber music; his six string quartets are absolute masterpieces of structure and balance, more so than any works since the music of Mozart and Haydn. In these quartets, Bartok used an original system of tonal organization which drew as much from the non-Western scales of Hungarian folk music as it did from any traditional sense of tonality. Each quartet is a unique marvel of simple melodies, rough dissonances, rhythmic complexity and harmonic abstraction.

Extractions: Performing Arts Library International Piano Archives at Maryland Buyer's Guide CAMILLE SAINT-SAËNS (1835-1921) In 1904 and 1919 Saint-Saëns recorded various selections from his own works. All of these discs are available on APR 5533 (coupled with Cécile Chaminades 1901 recordings). APRs transfers here, however, have been criticized as falling somewhat short of ideal. OLGA SAMAROFF (1880-1948) A pupil of Ernest Hutcheson and of Alkans illegitimate son Elie Delaborde, Samaroff (originally Lucy Hickenlooper) went on to teach such eminent players as Kapell, Lewenthal, and Weissenberg. She recorded many discs for Victor between 1921 and 1930. Almost all of them can be obtained on PEARL OPAL 9860. A further Samaroff disc, of the Grieg Nocturne, is included in SIMAX 1809 (Grieg Piano Music in Historic Interpretations). HAROLD SAMUEL (1879-1937) Remembered mainly as a leading Bach interpreter, this British pianists nearly complete recordings were once available in KOCH 3-7137 (two discs). A recent SYMPOSIUM CD (1309) is self-described as the complete solo [Bach] piano recordings (1923-1931) but this is not correct; it omits two Preludes and Fugues. Furthermore, the transfers are noisy and the documentation ignores issue numbers and timings. Samuel joined forces with violinist Isolde Menges on 78rpm sets of the Brahms A Major and D Minor Sonatas; these were reissued on BIDDULPH LAB 076. JÉSUS MARIA SANROMÁ (1902-1984) Born in Puerto Rico, Sanromá made many records for RCA Victor in the final decade or so of the 78rpm era. Two Pearl CDs (0076 and 0123) offer a good cross-section of his playing, with concerti by MacDowell, Paderewski and Gershwin, Liszts Totentanz, and other works. On PEARL 9020, Sanromá plays the Stravinsky Capriccio (conducted by Koussevitzky), while BIDDULPH LAB 052/3 includes the Schumann Quintet with Sanromá and the Primrose Quartet. His collaboration with Paul Hindemith in four-hand and viola sonatas by the latter is represented in BIDDULPH LAB 087.

The Frederic Chopin International Piano Competition Jerzy Zurawlew (18871980), an outstanding Polish pianist, teacher and composer . Jerzy Zurawlew, magda tagliaferro, Marguerite Long, Wilhelm Backhaus, http://www.chopin.pl/imprezy/konkursy/konkurs_en.html
Extractions: The Frederick Chopin International Piano Competition is one of the oldest events of its type in the world, and enjoys great prestige and universal renown. In the seventy years of its existence, the competition has evolved and transformed itself, altered and improved its form, and created its own extensive tradition. The initiator of the Frederick Chopin Piano Competition was Prof. Jerzy Zurawlew (1887-1980), an outstanding Polish pianist, teacher and composer. The first Chopin Competition took place on 23-30 January 1927 in the concert hall of the Warsaw Philharmonic. The next Competitions in 1932 and 1937 were also held there, at a five year interval, in accordance with the rules of the organisers. The 1942 Competition was not held owing to the Second World War, and the Competition could not be continued until several years after the war. The first postwar and the fourth International Frederick Chopin Competition took place in 1949, in the "Roma" concert hall, which is still standing in Nowogrodzka Str., the temporary home of the Warsaw Philharmonic and the Opera. The Competition became the culmination of the Chopin Year, celebrating the hundredth anniversary of the death of this great composer. The next Competition was organised six years later, in 1955. This change to the traditional five year-cycle was caused by the reconstruction of the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall, which was promoted soon afterwards to the rank of a national institution. From 1955 onwards, the Frederick Chopin International Piano Competition has been held in the National Philharmonic Hall every five years without a break.

Extractions: Born in 1981 in São Paulo, Ms. de Campos studied piano with Ema Lubrano Franco and Léo Peracchi and music theory and composition with Furio Franceschini, Caldeira Filho and Osvaldo Lacerda. Since the 1960's, she has studied composition with Camargo Guarnieri. In 1964, after she had been working as Magda Tagliaferro's assistant-pianist, she founded her own piano school. As teacher, she was responsible for the musical background of several Brazilian pianists such as Caio Pagano, Mafalda Carneiro and Yukie Nishikawa, winners of Premio de Piano Eldorado (1962 e 1963) and the latest Premio Eldorado de Musica (1987), and Karin Fernandes, winnner of the 1999 Premio Eldorado de Musica - these among Brazil's most respected piano contests.

Extractions: By Leslie Gerber It is the same in almost every field of endeavor: the big stars shine so brightly they blot out many others whose efforts are also worthwhile. Over the past century of recordings, we have had many famous and excellent pianists who have made major recording careers: Sviatoslav Richter, Artur Schnabel, Artur Rubinstein, Vladimir Horowitz, Wilhelm Backhaus, Vladimir Ashkenazy, and many others. But record-collecting pianophiles know that there are also many major pianists who are forgotten by all but a handful of specialists. Here are a few of my favorites. A hardcore pianophile friend of mine once told me that he was listening to my radio program, "The Grand Piano," and heard me doing a preview for the next show. I referred to "the greatest pianist you've never heard of," and he thought immediately of Rosita Renard (1894-1949). And he was right.
