2 John Bell Young ON WATCH The hall is revealing in a way the broadcasts are not. For one thing, it is possible to hear how each competitor really sounds as opposed to how he makes music. So, as it turns out, the young Russian Primakov has a tiny sound one that barely projects beyond the footlights. His colleague, Koltakov sports a watery tone, which only enhances his flashy and relatively insubstantial playing that overstayed its welcome after five minutes. His glib reading of the Liszt sonata was grotesquely cavalier, turning it as he did into the kind of cocktail music you might hear in a cruise ship lounge. For this pianist rushing and slowing down in the cantabile sections while drawing attention to the downbeats over the barlines is a measure of profound expression. It was a distasteful performance, though the audience went wild after his even more vulgar reading of Liszt's 2nd Hungarian Rhapsody in the Horowitz paraphrase. Diabelli or every affective nuance in a Bach suite, any judgement he renders beyond the merely obvious or superficial is already suspect.

Eleventh Van Cliburn International Piano Competition After stepping out onto the street, Alessandra Maria Ammara happens to run into Van Cliburn after performing at the 11th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition on Saturday night May 26, 2001. Moment of the day Italian competitor Alessandra Ammara may be having the encounter of her young musical life. Fresh from her crowd-pleasing performance, Ammara is gladly signing autographs outside Bass Performance Hall's Commerce Street entrance when she spots 1993 Cliburn finalist Fabio Bidini. As she runs to greet Bidini, she is intercepted by none other than Van Cliburn, who wraps his arms around her and kisses her. "Fantastic" a beaming Cliburn tells her. "I didn't expect it" Ammara will say breathlessly afterwards. "I just saw my friend Fabio, and then suddenly this giant appeared. I was grateful. They were beautiful words".

A Diversion off the Path He began to make a lot of money, but he also picked up a very expensive addiction: cocaine. It got so bad that he sold his Steinway grand piano for half its value, $14,000, to support his habit. He went through the money in less than a month. And then he stole money.

The poignant story of the star-crossed lovers of old Verona, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, offspring of two families whose blood feud dooms the couple's love to a tragic end, has cast a powerful spell of inspiration on scores of composers, from many lands and across four centuries. Tchaikovsky's fantasy overture remains the most popular evocation. It was one his three Shakespearean settings, the others being an orchestral fantasy inspired by The Tempest (1873), and an overture to Hamlet (1888, followed by a full incidental score in 1891). When composer Mily Balakirev suggested Romeo and Juliet as a subject, Tchaikovsky created the first version in a fever of inspiration in 1869. Balakirev's sharp criticisms led him to revise it twice; it reached its final form, the one in which it is widely known, in 1880.

The gold medalist of the 11th annual Van Cliburn International Piano Competition leaves Texas today, so this past week she was trying to pack in all the sights she could. Wednesday's agenda included her Fort Worth hostess, Suzy Jacobs, ushering the world-class pianist through some of the condos at Texas Motor Speedway. A meeting of the cultures, so to speak. The ever-smiling pianist got to see Plano racer Greg Ray's high-rise condo filled with racing memorabilia before making her way to the condo owned by Don Carter, former owner of the Dallas Mavericks. His condo includes a car-inspired German-built Schimmel piano with the body and red paint fashioned by Ferrari. "It's so great!" said the wide-eyed pianist, sticking her head under the lid of the piano, which resembled the hood of a car.

Arts Performing Arts U of L scores coup by getting Van Cliburn winners for concerts By ANDREW ADLER Jan. 13, 2002 The Courier-Journal Co-gold-medalist Olga Kern will perform at U of L on March 22. The classical-music world is awash with contests, but in the United States none has the cachet of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, held every four years since 1962 in Fort Worth, Texas. Beginning Tuesday night at 8, four of the most recent Van Cliburn prize-winners will play solo recitals at the University of Louisville School of Music. First up is Antonio Pompa-Baldi, one of two artists to share the silver medal this past June. On March 22, co-gold-medalist Olga Kern will perform. Next season the remaining two pianists are slated to appear. This is a major coup for the music school, underwritten by the namesake of the Margaret Comstock Concert Hall, where all four recitals will take place. If there's one guaranteed component of the Van Cliburn, it's excitement. You don't win a top prize without demonstrating enormous keyboard verve and stamina. Pompa-Baldi who grew up in Italy and now teaches at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Ohio has several tremendous works on Tuesday's program, including Chopin's Sonata No. 2 in B-flat Minor and Rachmaninoff's Sonata No. 2 (also in B-flat Minor). But he's opening with music from the Classical, not Romantic, era: Mozart's Sonata in F Major, K. 332.

Kate Tamarkin, the second guest conductor this season being considered for the post of conductor and music director of the Monterey Symphony, charmed us with her personality and wowed us with the superb results she achieved with our orchestra. Just as significant was the fact that she earned the respect and support of the orchestra members themselves. Sometimes we see string players politely tapping their bows against their instruments as a form of applause, but this is the first time I can remember hearing our orchestra members wildly stamping their feet at the end of the concert. The occasion at Sunset Center in Carmel on Monday, November 16, was the second concert of the Monterey Symphony's 1998-99 concert season. And this is vitally important season, since seven guest conductors have been selected to audition with the orchestra, and one will become the orchestra's future music director and conductor.
