By John Ardoin Pianist Emanuel Ax. GP: What makes Chopin's music so unmistakably Polish? EA: First of all, is his use of Polish dances. Even in the "Second Concerto" there is a mazurka in the third movement. He was the first serious Polish composer to use successfully the dance element in his writing. But beyond this, there is in his music a quality Poles call "zal." It is sort of like "soul," but is actually more a combination of melancholy, sadness, and even pity. It's [a] difficult word to translate, but a lot of people feel it sums up inherent characteristics of the Polish people. Certainly, Chopin believed this. GP: Isn't "personal" a keyword with Chopin? EA: Oh, yes. In that sense, he was probably the first and most original of the Romantics. In his music, he always dealt with the individual rather than the universal. The depth of his expression, however, is so great [that] it becomes universal and touches something in all of us. But basically it is about himself. GP: But aren't there those who see Chopin more as a classicist than a Romantic? Krakow's Old Town Square.

45. CD REVIEW Brahms Handel Emanuel Ax Click to hear the Theme emanuel ax seems as eager as the I last heard ax some fifteenyears ago where he This recording reveals a pianist who has all the tools http://www.jamesweggreview.org/Reviews_Classical/Brahms_Handel.htm

AX IS EXHILARATING Johannes Brahms: Variations on a Theme by Handel Opus 24 (1862) in Bb Major Sony, SK 48046, Digital Studio Recording at RIAS Berlin, April 19-21, 1991 Whatever drew Brahms to Handel’s eight bars of stately, constrained melody, whose range is limited to an octave and whose notes never stray outside the eight notes of their Bb major home scale, will remain a musicological mystery! But compositionally their very “simplicity” is ideal for the incredible journey penned by the master variationist of his time. Click to hear the Theme Emanuel Ax seems as eager as the composer to share the wealth of ideas, sudden turns, unexpected harmonies and rhythmical drive that makes the twenty-five minute performance disappear in a heady wink. I last heard Ax some fifteen years ago where he tossed off the fiendishly difficult Khachaturian concerto at an American Symphony Conductor (now defunct) under the direction of my mentor Kazuyoshi Akiyama. His mastery of the keyboard was dazzling but at the time he wouldn’t have been my first choice for the subtleties and breadth of another piano master. How wrong I can be! This recording reveals a pianist who has all the tools: impeccable technique, rhythmic accuracy, Herculean endurance! - but also the all too frequently missing gift of revealing the subtext of the art. He is a worthy advocate of Brahms.

Adams came to know Slonimsky in the last decade of his long life (he died in 1995 at the age of 101) and was bowled over by the old man’s wit, wisdom and charisma. Slonimsky was born in Tsarist Russia and later acted as assistant to the legendary conductor Serge Koussevitzky. He conducted the first performance of Varèse’s Ionisation in 1933 and also premiered works by Charles Ives and Henry Cowell. His seminal book Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns is an encyclopedic reference work and has had a major impact on Adams’s harmonic thinking since the composition of his Chamber Symphony in 1992. ‘The "Slonimsky" acknowledges my great debt to his THESAURUS "Earbox" might be a word worthy of Slonimsky himself, a coiner who never tired of minting his own.’
