His playing is simply beatiful in both works. However, the Ravel concerto is peppered with the wrong notes that Cortot is also famous for. It is rather difficult to listen to this recording but it is made up for by the other works on this disc. The sound is very good, certainly not digital sound let alone stereo but a great addition to one's collection.

They moved to Zagreb when Brendel was six, and later to Graz . They lived there during World War II , towards the end of which the fourteen year old Brendel was sent to Yugoslavia to dig trenches. However, he caught frostbite and was taken to hospital. Throughout his childhood, Brendel had occasional piano lessons, but otherwise little formal music education.

One of the jury members was Alfred Cortot, who announced "A new Liszt is born!". To the frustration of his public, Michelangeli’s studio recordings were few and his concert appearances sporadic: his brief recital for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (taped in the Toronto studios, 1970) was appropriately titled "A Most Rare Event". It features a sterling performance of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 3 in C Major, Op. 2, No. 3.

web hosting domain names email addresses related sites DINU LIPATTI THE LEGENDARY ROMANIAN PIANIST Born in Bucharest, (Romania) 1917; died in Geneva, 1950. Born Bucharest, (Romania) 1917; died Geneva, 1950. by EMI Records DINU LIPATTI (1917 Bucarest (Romania)- 1950 Geneve) THE DISTANT SOUND OF DINU LIPATTI'S NAME The Roumanian Dinu Lipatti is a myth among pianists, a cult figure ringed by the aureole of a reputation. The recording of Robert Schumann's Piano Concerto is one of those of which words like "imperishable" and "unsurpassable" are used, and it is the epitome of supple elegance; some of his Chopin performances exert the spell of "Romantic Schwarmerei" ; his interpretations of Bach are heard with respect but the listeners shake their heads over the perpetuation of 19th-century taste. And they lament Lipatti's Schubertian fate, his early death at only 33. The very sound of Dinu Lipatti's name is a distant, oh so distant sound from a remote age in the history of piano-playing. Where does the key to Lipatti's art lie? Not in the fluency, accuracy and high technical standard, for every aspiring pianist has those today, as a matter of course. In the breadth of his repertory (even if it excludes Beethoven)? It's not uncommon. In the poetry and expressiveness of his attack7 A large number of presentday pianists equal him in that. I never had the good fortune to hear Lipatti in the concert hall; I know him only through his recordings. Yet I will venture the theory that the key to Lipatti's art lies in something that reference books pass over: in the fact that he was a composer and also a conductor, just as his compatriot and godfather George Enescu was a violinist and a composer.

Creating record-setting record set By Verena Dobnik, Associated Press writer NEW YORK With the world hurtling toward mega-everything, even the once reserved arena of classical music is pulling out all its stops. Philips Music Group has produced the largest recording project in the history of the industry: a 200-compact disc collection of the finest pianists of this century, playing at their best. Philips is presenting the piano series to the Guinness Book as a new record, beating the company's issue of 180 CDs of all Mozart ever wrote, as registered in the 1998 edition of Guinness. But quantity was not a factor in how the works were chosen by Philips' director of repertoire, Tom Deacon, for "Great Pianists of the 20th Century." "I tried to include recordings that changed how we thought about the music each pianist was playing," said Deacon in an interview from Amsterdam, where he's based. For example, Vladimir Horowitz recorded Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in the 1940s with conductor Arturo Toscanini. "Horowitz played it hell-bent for leather, with tremendous gusto," said Deacon. "For a whole generation, his version, his reading, changed the way in which people thought about that piece of music."

56. Chopinists alfred cortot. the famous French pianist, whose raw and tremendous technique madehim a whisper on the lips of many a piano student, is particularly famous http://www.cs.umbc.edu/~evans/Chopin4.html

My evaluation and analysis of the pianists that play Chopin Vladimir Horowitz - the famous and immortal "last romantic" who instilled a love of classical music into the hearts of many all around the world. A pianist so renowned that when he gave his Carnegie Hall return concert, in 1965, people lined up for 4 or 5 blocks to get tickets. A pianists so talented that he was able to play his complete repetoire up until the day he died. A pianist so well-respected that he was good friends with both Sergei Rachmaninov and Arturo Toscanini (In fact, he married Toscanini's daughter, Wanda). But the question I am here to ask is not wheteher he was famous or respected, but could he play Chopin? My answer, is a resounding Yes. Horowitz's Chopin was electrifying, and though sometimes bizarre, always pleasing. For example, I will submit the Heroic Polonaise, a keystone piece of Horowitz's repetoire. With the opening crash, then the deft chromatisms (made smooth and suave under his gliding touch), and the rest of the opening, we know we have a major contender. And then as the main theme enters, with touches of rubato, as well as being instilled with what can only be described as ferocity and rememberance, we know we have a classic in the making. Horowitz's Chopin is not only excellent quality, but also contains the elements of breathtaking virtuosity (even the 1986 recording, when he was Adam Harasiewicz - the winner of the 1955 International Chopin Competition, and some say the single greatest Polish pianist of the entire century, he beat out none other than

1-6-8 Goken-cho, Mito-shi, Ibaraki-ken, 310-0063 Japan Mail to: webstaff@arttowermito.or.jp / Phone: (029)227-8111 Takahiro Sonoda Mini-lecture #6: Shape of the Hand, Posture, and Ways to Touch the Keyboard Open Seminar for Piano Dec. 5, 1999 (Sun.) To begin with, this is a mini-talk. Yesterday I talked to you about urtexts and scores, and today I would like to talk to beginners, especially, about the shape of the hand you should use when playing the piano. I'm sure your teachers have already made a point to tell you about it. Anyway, there is the simple question of what the best hand shape is for playing the piano. However, since everyone has differently shaped hands some are long, others are short, while some people have strong, muscular hands, and others have delicate ones we can't make any generalities about it. When I was small, I was taught that children should play the piano as if they were holding an egg in each of their hands. When you grow up, then, the egg is replaced by an orange, or a Watson pomelo, or even a grapefruit anyway, something natural like that. I don't think that the hands should be kept in an angular form when playing the piano. But that is not the whole story. Since the piano is a big instrument, as you can see, the hand spreads out sideways like this when you are performing, right? Also, even if you started out playing with rounded hands when your were small, as your body grow bigger and bigger, and you grow taller, it's a bit unnatural, actually, to curl up the hand too much when playing. So I don't think that this sort of thing should be enforced that much it's better to leave it up to each person.

58. De Esyzeese Velden Van Cortot Opname A bleek de recente heruitgave van een oudje, een uitvoering vande Franse pianist alfred cortot, uit 1928 (mijn vader was toen drie). http://www.nopapers.nl/km/muz2/2/muze0201.html

De Esyzeese velden van Cortot In een aflevering van mijn favoriete radio-uurtje werd van Chopin de tweede pianosonate (met de Treurmars) besproken. Zoals altijd ging het om enkele uitvoeringen, die vergeleken werden. "Opname A" bleek de recente heruitgave van een oudje, een uitvoering van de Franse pianist Alfred Cortot, uit 1928 (mijn vader was toen drie). Het panel behandelde deze opname met gepast respect, al was één lid niet helemaal te spreken over het tweede thema in de Treurmars. Casper Höweler omschrijft in zijn "XYZ der muziek" dit thema als "het Elyzeese visioen van gelukzaligheid". Het panellid was niet te spreken over de sentimentaliteit, waarmee Cortot dit middenstuk overgoot. Nee, dan gaf hij de voorkeur aan het fluisterzachte gekabbel van opname B. Terugluisterend naar het gewraakte moment kan ik mijn eerste indruk bevestigen: de Treurmars van Cortot is een drieëenheid "uit één stuk". Eerst is daar de intense, expressieve droefheid, dan dat Elyzeese visioen in zijn serene straling, en tenslotte de verpletterende smart, door Cortot sterk aangezet, als beseft hij definitief dat dit verdriet tot op de bodem moet worden verwerkt. Zo iemand laat je uitspreken, in plaats van hem halverwege de deur te wijzen. Het panellid, wiens naam ik vergeten ben, is duidelijk een kenner, en geen liefhebber. Die oude indeling van Schumann gaat nog altijd op. De kenner weet hoe het hoort, en hoe men luisteren moet. Door de overvloed van CD's en talentvolle musici, komt niemand er meer onderuit om, al selecterend, een beetje een kenner te worden. Maar Cortot roept de liefhebber in ons weer wakker. Wie zich niet door hem laat grijpen, zal zich ergeren aan zijn vrijheden, maar wie zich openstelt, hoort zijn creativiteit en spelvreugde. Cortot is de man van de vondst, van die glinsterende noot die net iets eerder of later klinkt dan verwacht. Dan is er opeens een nieuwe gedachte, frisser dan veel van de monologen die nu op CD worden gezet.
