The Web's Online Classical Music Guide Home Alan's Alley Classical Books Concert Reviews ... Search Our Site PIANISSIMO Bach on the Piano and Mahler on the Orchestra b y: Alan Rich Bach on the piano goes far back in history. Franz Liszt and Ferruccio Busoni rewrote many of the keyboard works to the taste of the romantic-minded pianist, with octave doublings to bring the sonorities up to a nice sexy roar. Even after Wanda Landowska's efforts to restore the "authentic" sound of the harpsichord which she accomplished on an oversized, over-clangorous instrument and with a rubato that Chopin might have admired there were responsible, scholarly pianists, Artur Schnabel and Edwin Fischer most notably, who honored the timelessness of Bach's music by performing it on their chosen instrument. Fischer's performance of the complete Well-Tempered Clavier , recorded in England in 1933/34, is now available as part of a large-scale and admirable reissue program, on Naxos and therefore dirt-cheap. A landmark in its time (yes, I was there) and obviously stemming from the noblest intentions, Fischer' Bach recordings strike me today as anachronistic in a way similar to Landowska'. He is obviously aware that he is playing the "wrong" instrument, and seems reticent to allow his piano to identify itself. This I hear as an objectivity that dulls the expressive edge of some of the most powerful parts of this amazing compendium: the C-sharp minor Fugue in Book I, or the E-flat minor Prelude a few pages later. Now there is a Schiff recording of the

83. CLAUDIO ARRAU BIOGRAPHY His mother was an amateur pianist and his father an eye doctor, who died in a riding Hewill be my masterwork, said Krause, who also taught edwin fischer. http://www.princeton.edu/~gpmenos/biography.html

CLAUDIO ARRAU BIOGRAPHY Claudio Arrau, renowned throughout the world as one of the supreme keyboard masters of the century, stands today at the summit of his long and legendary career, for the one artistic goal he has pursued for a lifetime: the total fusion of virtuosity and meaning. Where other famous pianists play the piano for excitement, power or display, Arrau plays to probe, to divine, to interpret. Says Arrau, "An interpreter must give his blood to the work interpreted." The famed late doyen of London music critics, Sir Neville Cardus of the Guardian, explained Arrau vividly: "Arrau is the complete pianist. He can revel in the keyboard for its own pianistic sake, representing to us the instrument's range and power, but he can also go beyond piano playing as we are led by his art to the secret chambers of the creative imagination." In a tribute by the Berlin Philharmonic, which bestowed the Hans von Bulow Medal on Arrau in 1980, on the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of his debut with that great orchestra, it was put even better: "When Arrau bends over the keyboard, it is as if Music and only Music itself, is flowing out of his entire body. There is not a nuance of feeling or sound that he has not mastered. His pianissimo is more eloquent, more mysterious than that of others, and his fortissimo has more depth of dimension and is more limitless." But a London Sunday Times interview some years back explained the Arrau mystique best of all: "One regards him as a sort of miracle; the piano is the most machinelike of instruments except the organ - all those rods, levers, little felt pads, wires, no intimate subtle human connection with it by breath, tongueing, or the string player's direct engagement with speaking vibrations. But Arrau makes it live, like God teaching Adam on Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel roof; liquid, mysterious, profound, alive."

Recent Reviews May 25, 2001 Naxos in the News Week in Review - May 25, 2001 Arnold: David Copperfield. The Roots of Heaven. Polo 8.225167. - Arthur B. Lintgen The Absolute Sound July 2001 Bach: Sonatas and Partitas for Violin 8.110918 "Naxos scores over EMI by way of Ward Marston's warmer, more attractive transfers, effected from commercial 78 rpm pressings. In a nutshell: if you want these recordings, Naxos is now your first choice among available transfers at any price. Tully Potter's informative annotations are refreshingly frank and (in a good sense) opinionated." - Jed Distler Classics Today May 20, 2001 "To those reared on Bach as played by Glenn Gould Edwin Fischer 's style may seem disconcerting. Where Gould's primary focus was clarity of counterpoint, Fischer concentrated on mood, color, and lyricism. And while you won't find Gould's precision here - these preludes and fugues were recorded in the 1930s, before the days of tape splicing - few pianists so thoroughly explored the emotional depths of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier as did Fischer in these legendary performances...Fischer has the chops for this demanding music. The recordings, however, are slightly cloudy, but this only adds to their sense of intimacy. (Producers Marina and Victor Ledin were wise not to add any artificial boost to the treble.) In short, another historic recording at a bargain price from Naxos." - Andrew Farach-Colton Barnes and Noble "Here is Fischer at his most sublimely poised and unruffled, offered at Naxos's bargain price in beautifully restored sound."

Music Home BWV.552 Korean Johann Sebastian Bach's work transcripted by Ferruccio Busoni 1. On Busoni's transciptions for piano Left photo ] Busoni( Photo from Hyperion CDA 66566 Ferruccio Dante Michelangiolo Benvenuto Busoni(1866 was famous pianist and composer in his comtemporary. He published Bach's works by his transcription at Breitkopf und Härtel from 1888(at 22 years old) to 1920 for more than 30 years, which was task of his total life. He transcripted Bach's spirit to piano. If we judge him now, it's obvious that he reflected the romantic years when he had lived. But pianists have to watch how he traslated idioms of cembalo, organ, and even violin to piano. I think his translation of Chaconne(BWV.1004-5) and organ works have to be noticable. The former explicited Bach's various polyphonic lines, so Hugo Leichtentritt(famous musicologist and his first biographer) even said "It's easier to analyse this work with Busoni's transcription". And the latter used pedal very audaciously and delicately, which are indispensable to playing organ works by piano. Busoni said ; ...not believe in the legendary tradition, that Bach must be played without the pedal. While the pedal is sometimes necessary in Bach's piano works, it is absolutely essential in transcribed organ pieces... Consider, that the mixtures opened with the full organ contain the 5th and octave, or even the 3rd and 7th, of every tone struck. An approximate imitation of these tone-blendings can be obtained, on the piano, only by using the pedal.

Paul Badura-Skoda im Interview Wien - Sie wurden 1927 in Wien geboren. Sind Sie hier hier aufgewachsen? Übrigens, bei einem Hauskonzerte sagte Joseph Krips zu mir: "Also junger Mann, Sie sind ja der geborene Dirigent! Kommen Sie nächste Woche zu mir, ich mache Sie zu meinem Assistenten!" Das war ein einmaliges Angebot, meine Klavierlehrerin ist vor Entsetzen fast in Ohnmacht gefallen. Es gab lange Familienberatungen, ob der Junge Pianist oder doch Dirigent werden soll. Die Sache war schnell entschieden, denn meine Klavierlehrerin hat den Sieg davongetragen. Krips war mir nicht böse, sondern hat mich unter anderen zum London Symphonie Orchester, nach Buffalo, zum Orchestre de Paris, nach Amsterdam und natürlich in Wien zur Uraufführung von Frank Martins Klavierkonzert eingeladen. Sehr fördernd für meine Karriere wirkte sich auch die Erfindung der Langspielplatte aus. Rasch wurde ich Hauspianist einer der wichtigsten Plattenfimen, nämlich Westminster. Eine meiner ersten Platten-Erfolge war eine Aufnahme des Forellenquintetts mit den Philharmonikern, dann folgte ein Klavierkonzert von Rimsky-Korsakow und von Skrjabin. Ein großer Erfolg war ein Mozart-Klavierkonzert, das in Amerika höchste Begeisterung hervorgerufen hat, so fragte dort die Presse: "Wer ist denn dieser unbekannte Badura, Badura-Skoda oder nur Skoda?" Welche Begegnungen mit Dirigenten waren wichtig?
