Home Page Top Stories Opinion Letters ... Horoscopes s Classifieds A member of the VANNET Newspaper Group Online Edition Updated February 16th 2001 MUSIC Pianist Kovacevich returns after 33-year absence By Robert Jordan When Stephen Kovacevich walks onstage at the Playhouse on Sunday (Feb. 18), audience members with a better memory for faces than names may feel a sense of déjà vu. Understandably, their memories might be a tad hazy because it’s been more than 30 years since the American pianist’s last Vancouver appearance. Even then, the man who played Ludwig van Beethoven’s "Piano Concerto No. 4" with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra in March 1968 was named Stephen Bishop. "My mother married for a second time —a doctor named Bishop— though I wasn’t adopted," Kovacevich explains over the phone from his home in London, England. "Then, much later, I decided, via the cumbersome Bishop-Kovacevich, to go back to my own name." Born in San Pedro, California in 1940, Kovacevich grew up in Berkeley, where, at the age of eight, he began studies with Lev Shorr. This Russian pianist’s great virtues were his sense of drive and rhythm, meticulousness and expansive command of Russian virtuoso piano literature. Kovacevich thrived under Shorr’s tutelage, making his debut with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra six years later. But he still did not feel complete as a pianist. So, in 1959, he moved to London to study with the leading English pianist and pedagogue Dame Myra Hess. "Aside from the totally different repertoire, she awoke the whole drama and passion of the classical repertoire for me," says Kovacevich. "It was a combination of variety of sound and character of the music. She was profound and stimulating and, in terms of pianism, opened up in me a variety of sound that I hadn’t had before." It was also the time that Kovacevich became seriously interested in the music of Beethoven, repertoire in which Hess was renowned.

Reviews in September 1996 Piano Concerto No.1; Piano Concerto No.2; Piano Concerto No.3 Stephen Bishop Kovacevich, pianist / London Symphony Orchestra (Nos. 1,3) / BBC Symphony Orchestra (No.2) / Sir Colin Davis, conductor (Philips 426 660-2) Bishop Kovacevich, who is perhaps best known for his recordings of the Beethoven, Grieg and Schumann piano concertos, proves that he is equally adept in the modern arena. These are biting and brilliant performances of difficult works, moody and pensive in the middle movements and bristling with quicksilver virtuosity in the final movements. I especially liked the Allegro molto from the first piano concerto and the Allegro from the second piano concerto, with the pianist hammering angrily at the keyboard with loud and sympathetic noises from the orchestra.
