:: CD Review :: Ravel: Gaspard de la Nuit Andrei Gavrilov Pf EMI 7243 5 69869 2 3 A mixture of stupendous and non-committal performances This budget compilation is rather uneven. As long as Gavrilov's cybernetic fingers are kept fully occupied, there's no room for argument. Who could resist his mad dash through the F sharp minor Etude-Tableau Op 39/3? True, the piece emerges frazzled, hanging on to musical coherence by a thread, but oh the virtuosity! An intoxicating demolition of the B flat major Prelude is scarcely less impressive, seeing the pianist take an extended chord chain near the close in a single breath. Even Kissin sounds earthbound in comparison. Though finely played, the Gaspard sounds uneventful when compared with Pogorelich's sensitive account, or Michelangeli's refined yet flexible 1960 Prague recording. However, despite these constraints, the present disc provides enough thrills and spills to warrant purchase at budget price. - Bahman Barekat Rating : Seven out of ten

Biography - Long Version Robert Laniewski I was born in January 1979 in Empangeni, South Africa I began learning the piano at the age of seven with my mother, an amateur musician. My father, an electrical engineer, and the son of Polish-Dutch émigrés, took piano lessons as a child, but because his family could not afford the luxury of a piano, he could only practise once a week at his lessons, which eventually fell by the wayside. My parents had at first offered to send my sister, a year younger than myself, for piano lessons, but out of fairness offered to send me too, not expecting that I would be particularly interested. But in fact I was interested, and quickly became adept at sight-reading and improvisation. At the age of eight I would entertain my maternal grandparents with Schubert’s ‘Standchen’. My sister and I took lessons for a few months with a teacher, but we were put off by her lack of enthusiasm towards both our talent and music. We didn’t take lessons or play the piano again for a few years. As a child, I would spend my afternoons riding my bicycle around the neighbourhood (rather than doing my school homework).

50. What Is Technique? composer, and with the rigorous training that he received as the Moscow Conservatoire,how could he not also be a great pianist? andrei gavrilov really has it http://www.geocities.com/rlani1/technique.html

What is Technique? CONTENTS Introduction The Singing School Vladimir Horowitz Sviatoslav Richter ... Josef Lhevinne Introduction I grew up with a complete disregard for technique, since I had no idea what it meant, apart from some vague conception of a group of people who were conscientious about practising their scales. In my view, if you were musically inept, then you could have your 'technique'. From the age 10 I composed quite prolifically. At the age of 14 I gave an effortless performance of the Rachmaninoff Polichinelle in public. In retrospect, that was no mean feat. I was just oblivious to what was going on, and I didn't practise much either. (Can you believe that I wore jeans and running shoes at the concert, and the audience chuckled because I had to push the stool back about a metre to accommodate my legs? But their glee soon turned into astonishment. Given another chance, I'd make a much bigger deal out of the whole thing.) In my late teens, a few years after I had left my teacher and gone solo for a while, I visited her to show her my progress. One of the pieces that I played for her was the 'Revolutionary' Etude. She said, "I wish I could do that". (And she apparently never had a problem with Liszt's Un Sospiro.) I had never practised my scales (and didn't even know what an arpeggio was) nor had I practised the Czerny exercises which she had given me some time before that. So my internal thought process was something like, you're the one who's conscientious about those things, but I'll stick to being able to play this Etude.

52. Trovar.com - Sviatoslav Richter, A Biographical Sketch By Paul Geffen In addition to his career as pianist, Richter pursued painting. with a number ofyounger pianists, including Lazar Berman, andrei gavrilov, and Zoltan Kocsis http://www.trovar.com/str/bio.html

trovar.com Sviatoslav Richter - an introduction to his life and work Sviatoslav Richter, widely regarded as one of the finest Russian pianists of the twentieth century, was born in Zhitomir, in the Ukraine, on March 20, 1915. His father, Theophile, was an organist and gave the young Sviatoslav his early musical training. Richter’s mother, Anna, was a talented artist who loved music and was related to the Swedish soprano Jenny Lind. The young Richter was essentially self-taught and developed his exceptional technique by playing whatever music he liked. By the age of eight he was playing opera scores, including the music of Richard Wagner. He had the ability to memorize any music at sight. Richter grew up in Odessa, where his father taught at the Conservatory. Also growing up in Odessa at the same time were Emil Gilels and David Oistrakh, who would later become Richter’s chamber-music partner. During these years he was a “repetiteur,” or rehearsal pianist, in Odessa. His debut as a soloist came on February 19, 1934, at the Odessa House of Engineers. The program included the Chopin Ballade no. 4, Polonaise-fantaisie, and E Major Scherzo, as well as a selection of Nocturnes, Etudes, and Preludes, all difficult pieces. The recital was a great success and Richter’s career as virtuoso was under way. In 1937 Richter left Odessa for Moscow to study with the great pianist and pedagogue Heinrich Neuhaus. Richter did not take the entrance exam at the Conservatory. He simply asked Neuhaus to teach him. Neuhaus listened to his playing and said, "Here is the pupil for whom I have waited all my life. In my opinion, he is a genius." Neuhaus declared that he had nothing to teach Richter but accepted him as a pupil anyway. On November 26, 1940, while still a student at Moscow Conservatory, Richter made his Moscow debut. Here he gave the first public performance of the Prokofiev Sonata No. 6 and made a highly favorable impression on both the audience and the composer. When Prokofiev completed his Seventh Sonata in 1942, he gave it to Richter for the premiere. Richter learned the piece in only four days, and performed it the following January. Richter also gave the first performances of Prokofiev’s Eighth and Ninth Sonatas, the last of which was dedicated to Richter.

55. Newport Music Festival--GAVRILOV--July 2000 my life. It was the return to Newport after 26 years, of andrei gavrilov,the Russian pianist (now living in Germany). One year http://www.farklempt.com/Travels/Newport.Music.Festival.0007/gavrilovindex.html

NEWPORT MUSIC FESTIVAL JULY 2000 This evening, I had one of the supreme musical experiences of my life. It was the return to Newport after 26 years, of Andrei Gavrilov, the Russian pianist (now living in Germany). One year after the Newport Music Festival began, Mark Malkovich, the director, had the chutzpah to go the USSR and ask them to let him bring Gavrilov, then 18, just after he had won the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. To his astonishment, they sent him, albeit with an omnipresent KGB agent. Now, at age of 44, he returns for the Opening night gala. I was expecting a stupendous evening, but it turned out to be much more than I had hoped for. I've heard the CD of Rachmaninoff playing a modern piano, "A Window in Time." It was done because Rachmaninoff, when he was alive, recorded much of his work on a machine that captured not just the notes, like a player piano, but also the nuances, the attacks, the phrasing, the crescendos, etc. He was an unbelievable player. It was just as he said, "I am the best." No one I have ever heard could play with such strength, power, and speed, accuracy, and grace, all at once...no one, that is, except Gavrilov, whose recordings are instantly recognizable to the ear. But I didn't know he was such a performer, such a showman, so narcissistic, so weird. The evening began in the Great Hall of The Breakers. I arrived at 8:10 PM for the 9:00 PM concert, and the line was already going around the block. There were those of us who were casually dressed, and there were those of Newport's High Society, in ballgowns, with fabulous jewelry, tuxedos. By running, pushing, climbing over aging dowagers and knocking doddering old men to the ground, I was able to secure a good seat with an excellent view of the keyboard.

56. Prokofiev, Prisoner Of The State/Part 3 them with the musical image of a clubfingered amateur pianist spraying out withthe very weight of his own pompous leitmotif! andrei gavrilov, too, rejects http://www.siue.edu/~aho/musov/proko/prokofiev3.html

Below: Prokofiev with Mira Mendelson An interpretation of the composer's relationship with the Soviet regime by Ian MacDonald Part Three: The Protest Music In an official symposium on the composer in 1954, Ilya Ehrenburg, encoding his meaning in the way customary under such circumstances, observed: "Posterity will not be able to understand our difficult and glorious period of life without intently listening to the works of Sergei Prokofiev, and contemplating his extraordinary fate." Had Ehrenburg said this about Shostakovich, few Western pundits (in recent years, at least) would have missed what he was getting at. Applying similar criteria to Prokofiev, however, is still quite a new idea. Though much of his brisk arrogance was curbed by the adversity of his final years, Prokofiev remained fundamentally self-centred, interested chiefly in his own inner world. His capacity, or desire, to empathise with the lot of other people being limited, it is hardly surprising that, compared with Shostakovich, his work should be thinner on tragic subtexts. All too often brilliantly one-dimensional, a large part of Prokofiev's music is that of a clever, derisive child, achieving its best effects in the context of fairy-tale, romanticised history, or nostalgia for boyhood. As with Ravel, whom he particularly admired, Prokofiev's engagement with the practical world of adulthood was reluctant (and often sarcastically ill-tempered). Unlike Ravel, however, it was his "extraordinary fate" to be forced to see far enough beyond his own predicament for his creativity to deepen in spite of itself. Whatever else it did to him, life in the USSR made him grow up.

Web Search On the Aisle [INDEX] Carnegie Hall: Montreal Symphony Orchestra and Argerich By Philip Anson / October 28, 2001 On the Aisle The Montreal Symphony Orchestra made its annual autumn pilgrimage to Carnegie Hall this weekend with pianist Martha Argerich as headliner. On the evening of Saturday Oct. 27 Argerich was in her demoness phase. She seemed distressed, as if performing under duress, and made faces on the two occasions when she flubbed notes. It was one of those concerts where her former husband, conductor Charles Dutoit, had to encourage and cajole her from the podium, then try to keep up with her when she bolted from the gate like a racehorse. Of course, Argerich is always worth hearing, even when moody. Her Tchaikovsky was a titanic, momentous effort which her dark, slightly loony virtuosity made especially gripping. Argerich played loud and fast, attacking the keyboard with the broad strokes of a sculptor shaping a raw block of marble. Yet there were also flashes of detailed whimsy: her solo passage in the first movement was syncopated, almost jazzy. And she played the whole concerto at dizzying speed, as if to prove she still has the chops. The Prestissimo was about as fast as a human can play while still maintaining clarity and articulation. The orchestra struggled to keep up with the diva’s rapid tempi and unpredictable rubato. They framed her fireworks nicely, but made little statement of their own.

58. Evgeny Zarafiants -Reviews- idiom can make the wintry blast of, say, andrei gavrilov or even Impressive technique,soulful expression pianist Evgeny Zarafiants gives his Cologne debut in http://www.evgeny-zarafiants.com/review-e.htm

C D R e v i e w SCRIABIN Preludes, Vol.1 Brilliant, idiomatic performances of colour and depth to rival even the greatest Scriabin interpreters Gramophone (Classical music magazine, U.K.) August, 2000 I first heard Evgeny Zarafiants as a jury member of the 1993 Ivo Pogorelich Competition in Los Angeles , where he was awarded joint-second prize. Those of us who were present at that strange and unforgettable occasion have remained haunted over the intervening years by his exceptional artistry. So how gratifying to find that this Naxos album, volume 1 of what promises to be a complete cycle of the Scriabin Preludes, not only confirms that first and indelible impression, but takes us beyond into a world of the most searching and impeccable pianism and musicianship . Indeed, such a flawless and personal distillation of Scriabin's style and idiom can make the wintry blast of, say, Andrei Gavrilov or even - dare I say it - the palpitating sense of neurosis of Horowitz in this composer, seem superficial by comparison. Zarafiants' tendency to opt for tempi slower than marked allows him ample time to characterise Scriabin's already obsessive and opalescent dreamworld, his shifting colours and perspectives
