However, the three composers on this eveningâs program all managed to combine rigorous structural mastery with an almost dandy-like delight in outward attractions. It may be, in fact, that the apparent contradiction between âouterâ and âinnerâ content vanishes in the case of composers of the stature of Mozart, Ravel and Chopin: that what we see on the surface of their works shines upward from depths of illimitable profundity.

Click on the track to buy from our iTunes store. Franz Ferdinand - Do You Want To Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Goin' Down Dropkick Murphys - The Burden Beck - Girl ... BY RICHARD BUELL One of Chopins pupils recalled the composers description of the unisons (bars 54-62) in the B-flat Mazurka Opus 24 No. 4 as "the womens voices in the choir." "They were never played delicately enough," the pupil goes on, "never simply enough. One was barely allowed to breathe over the keyboard, let alone touch it." Polish pianist Krystian Zimerman, in his Bank of America Celebrity Series recital Saturday night at Jordan Hall, communicated more than just an idea of just what Chopin intended. How? By a bit of sly stage direction, it seemed the dangerous sort that plays with your mind. The three mazurkas preceding had gone steadily and steadily, the piano sonority more concentrated than expansive or prismatic. Then it was as if a grayish scrim had lifted. All took on a heightened color, depth, sharpness of outline. We were in a different world. In retrospect, something similar seems to have been going on in the Mozart (Sonata in C major, K.330) that opened the program. First off, an Allegro moderato that plunked down on the fast, even relentless side of things. The slow movement told another story, proceeding from a cautious, pastel-like, bass-shy A-section to a lifting of the scrim again together with a flooding in of emotion, then back again to an A-section that was hardly the wan creature we had encountered just a few minutes before. Its an uncommon and cherishable pianist who can mobilize timbre, touch, and weight of tone to structural purposes the way Zimerman does. He opens up vistas. But he can also close them. The Allegretto last movement, as flippant as the first, provided closure and that was about all.

Click on the track to buy from our iTunes store. Franz Ferdinand - Do You Want To Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Goin' Down Dropkick Murphys - The Burden Beck - Girl ... BY DAVID WEININGER Polish pianist Krystian Zimerman has a reputation for exactitude. He spends, its said, years perfecting his interpretations of a narrow repertoire, and his concert appearances are few, especially in America. But his desire for accuracy goes beyond musical execution itself. He told an interviewer in 2002 that not only does he bring his own piano on tour with him, he rebuilds his instrument depending on the program hes performing. A pianist needs a lighter touch to play Mozart than Brahms, the thinking goes, so why not reconfigure the piano as well as the playing style? Such a level of technical preparation is extraordinary, even by todays standards. "I am a total freak on this," Zimerman told his interviewer. "You cannot imagine how much it costs and compromises." For all the careful preparation, though, Zimerman, wholl be here next Saturday to play a Bank of America Celebrity Series recital, doesnt come off as a bloodless perfectionist. Elegance may be his calling card, but he has a deep vein of Romanticism, as he showed in a host of performances and recordings with Leonard Bernstein in the 1980s. His best performances are both meticulous and full of vitality, as is attested by the recordings of the two Ravel concertos he made a few years ago with Pierre Boulez and the Cleveland Orchestra. Here were two masters of clarity, and they not only brought out the full range of colors in these exquisitely colored works but brought them to vivid life as well.

Extractions: Godowski : Suite JAVA Nel Kraton , Il vulcano Bromo, Gamelan I giardini di Buitenzorg , Nelle strade della vecchia Batavia At six years of age Krystian Zimerman was surprised to discover that pianos were not found in ever home. Until then he had thought that playing the piano was just as important as eating, drinking and sleeping. At that age he had already made his debut on Polish television, playing two of his own compositions. Following his very first lessons with his father, Krystian Zimerman attended the Katowice Academy of Music, where he studied with Andrzej Jasinski, who was eventually to become his only teacher. Two months after completing his education he won the prestigious Chopin Competition at the age of eighteen (1975). Although he had already played extensively in Poland and abroad and had won numerous other competitions, his Chopin victory launched Zimerman into the whirlwind life of an international concert pianist. He considers the most significant moment in his life to be when he met and began studying with the great musician Arthur Rubinstein, who also became one of his greatest friends. Another important turning point in his training was his concert and recording studio work with conductors such as Bernstein, Giulini and Karajan. Similarly, the Piano Concerto dedicated to him by Lutoslawski and performed by Zimerman in a world premiere in 1989 was also one of his greatest achievements.
Extractions: of the Beethoven Concertos 3-5 When pianist Krystian Zimerman goes on a North-American concert tour, don't expect to hear him just anywhere. On this year's tour, he made it to all of three cities: Chicago, Toronto and New York. Though the pianist, who turned 40 on December 7, 1996, could fill concert halls in every major city, he simply prefers to limit the number of his performances to about 50 per year. Mr. Zimerman who, according to The New York Times, is "considered one of the most remarkable pianists of his generation", has many other interests which keep him from overextending himself. Fluent in several languages, knowledgeable in history and aesthetics as well as in science and acoustics, he radiates an air of scholarliness and gentility. Yet this is the pianist Leonard Bernstein chose in the late 1980s to be the soloist in his cycle of Beethoven piano concertos with the Vienna Philharmonic. Intended to conclude his Beethoven orchestral cycle, it was scheduled to be recorded by Unitel and Deutsche Grammophon. One might have expected a more extroverted soloist, but not a young pianist called a "meticulous, sometimes studied aristocrat" ("Classic CD" in a review of the concertos).
