Englund: Introduzione e toccata Wagner-Liszt: Isoldens Liebestod Ginastera: Danzas Argentinas Critics Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall December 11 1999 "Mika Rannali, a young Finnish musician (he appears to be in his early 20s) gave a truly impressive account of himself at his Weill Hall New York Recital Debut on December 11th under the sponsorship of Artists International Presentations. Mr. rannali, also a composer, has studied violin and trumpet as well as the piano. In addition, he was a three-time Finnish Champion in Latin American and Ballroom dancing. Having worked with Eero Heinonen, Matti Raekallio and Ralf Gothóni, our recitalist received his Master of Music degree from the Sibelius Academy and concertized extensively as a soloist and chamber music protagonist, won many prizes at several international competitions and festivals, and has made several recordings for radio in Finland and the United States. He continued his studies at the Manhattan School of Music under the guidance of Nina Svetlanova. Four pieces in a Rachmaninoff group (the Preludes in G sharp minor and G flat Major, Op. 32 No.12 and op. 23 No. 10; and the Etudes-Tableaux in E flat Major Op. 33 No 7 and C sharp Minor Op. 33 No. 9) were elegantly -if somewhat laconically- clarified. I am no admirer of Liszt´s obsessively hammering, quasi-tremolando "Pianola-in-excelsis" repeated chords in his arrangement of Wagner´s Liebestod but Rannali´s ongoing sense of continuity almost saved the day. Another hammering excursion, Einar Englund´s Introduzione e Toccata proved far more palatable in its crisp, objective angularity and brilliance (although I wish there had been some program notes to tell us more about the unfamiliar work and composer).

Joshua Bell Violinist Bell and Bolero Raised in Bloomington, Indiana with a house full of pets, Joshua developed an early love of computer games and sports and placed fourth in a national tennis competition by age 10. Having received his first violin at age four after his parents noticed him plucking rubber bands he had stretched around the handles of his dresser drawers, he became serious about the instrument by age 12, when renowned violinist and pedagogue Josef Gingold became his beloved teacher and mentor. Joshua's performances this season have continued worldwide with summer appearances at the Aspen festival, the Tanglewood festival with the Boston Symphony and at the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. North American performances include dates with the New York Philharmonic and The National Symphony Orchestra both with Leonard Slatkin, The Los Angeles Philharmonic and The Baltimore Symphony with David Zinman, and the San Francisco Symphony with Ingo Metzmacher. Highlights of a recital tour with pianist Simon Mulligan include Avery Fisher Hall in New York and Wigmore Hall in London. European highlights include concerts with the Berlin Philharmonic and the Camerata Academica Salzburg, both with Roger Norrington, The London Philharmonic with Yuri Temirkanov, The Philharmonia with Richard Hickox, and The Danish National Radio Symphony with Simona Bertini. Joshua will tour with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and Mikko Franck and with the National Symphony Orchestra with Leonard Slatkin.

Both Alison Krauss and James Taylor are special guests in quite a memorable concert. Although I'd normally consider Yo-Yo Ma a classical performer, these concerts are strictly American Music-a.k.a. early country music. You may want to get up and dance a little jig during some of the pieces or think back to life on a farm in the early 1900s. The performance is most impressive and from the applause in the crowd you can tell that they enjoyed it immensely too.

R E V I E W Secret pianists' business Mar 14 Olli Mustonen When I give master- classes I tell students that we are each different, that we each must find our own way physically at the keyboard, but that there seem to be certain helpful principles in nature that we should be aware of. I'd like to share my thoughts on some of these, but I want to make it clear that these are very personal views. One of the key challenges in piano playing is that, unlike in singing or playing a string or woodwind instrument, the sound is not continuous. For the most part, we are playing the beginnings of notes. Music is not just a series of beginnings, of course, and we must somehow also play what happens in between. And so we have to create an illusion - a pianist has to be a magician. To understand what this means physically, I find it helpful to think in terms of tennis. In tennis you don't carry the ball to the other side of the net. The only time you actually affect what the ball does is when the racquet touches the ball, and this is a very short amount of time. Even with my very primitive level of playing tennis I have discovered that when the racquet meets the ball, you feel immediately whether the ball is going to be right on the line, or just outside it - so mentally you are taking the ball to the other side. And part of that process is the follow-through of the racquet. It may seem unimportant, because you have already struck the ball, but of course it

Although the crisp sound of Glenn Gould's piano is more exciting, this has remained my personal favorite. I soon began enjoying the study of fugue sets. Composers who write sets of fugues, like Bach and Hindemith, seem to take the form more seriously than composers who write fugues only to prove they can (sorry, Brahms).

Kuusisto didn't so much play the violin as dance it, although his energised performance sometimes led to distracting mannerisms. But as the first offering of a program exploring 20th-century Finnish music, The Fiddlers made a vivid statement: a first movement of strong sonorous chords which gradually bifurcate as though the players were moving off into different keys; a second of terse bass solos against a wispy solo violin ostinato; and a third whose headlong tumult sacrificed the bow. Sibelius's Opus 117 was more conventionally gracious though not without some wry "wrong note" bass pitches. In the bracing finale it is as if Sibelius indulged in a virtuoso fantasy - Kuusisto's articulation was breathless although the intonation drifted at times.

Web posted on Tuesday, July 24, 2001 The Year of the Piano Master pianists front and centre at the Ford Centre By Christine Jayarajah Master Pianists March 24th Ford Centre for the Performing Arts It is another Year of the Piano at the Ford Centre for the Performing Arts, with several piano series bringing many of the world’s classical keyboard titans to Toronto. The season-long festival of great piano playing will be memorable for music-lovers, particularly piano-philes. Furthermore, the Hamburg and New York Steinway “D” concert grand pianos that make their home in the Ford Centre add to the total musical experience. Four superlative pianists, Emanual Ax, Fou Ts’ong, Yefim Bronfman and Olli Mustonen are the recitalists in the series called Master Pianists. The four-part Master Pianists series is reviewed in this article, of which the last one is scheduled for March 24th 1999 , featuring the exciting, imaginative and controversial Finnish pianist, Olli Mustonen. He makes his Ford Centre debut with a program of Preludes and Fugues by J.S. Bach and Shostakovich. The Master Pianists series was launched on Nov 17th ,1998 with the first Ford Centre solo recital by Emanual Ax highlighting Haydn’s Sonata in A-flat major. His diverse repertoire for the evening also included works by John Corigliano, Claude Debussy, and Franz Schubert. Emanual Ax’s rendering of the Haydn sonata is characterized with piquant harmonies, varying textures and phrasing. The first movement has a recurring three-bar long melodic idea embedded beneath a cascade of rippling passages and decorative trills. While most of the finger work is carried out by the right hand, it is the left hand that sets the momentum and harmonic changes.

80. March 20, 2001 Angeles Philharmonic offered all three of the seldomheard Stravinsky works for pianoand orchestra, performed by the brilliant pianist olli mustonen, and one http://www.listeningarts.com/music/ny_times_concert_review.htm

March 20, 2001 MUSIC REVIEW, New York Times Esa-Pekka Salonen Serves Stravinsky Breezy, Fresh and Crunchy By ANTHONY TOMMASINI Hiroyuki Ito for The New York Times Esa-Pekka Salonen leading the Los Angeles Philharmonic on Sunday. Esa-Pekka Salonen, who is in his ninth season as music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, does not patronize audiences. He is convinced that if he and his players are excited by important and challenging contemporary works, audiences will respond. His success in Los Angeles suggests he is right. The orchestra's recent Stravinsky festival there drew sold-out houses to six concerts. This weekend Mr. Salonen presented two of those programs at Lincoln Center. Sunday afternoon's concert by the Los Angeles Philharmonic offered all three of the seldom-heard Stravinsky works for piano and orchestra, performed by the brilliant pianist Olli Mustonen, and one repertory piece, "The Firebird." The artistic consultants at most of American's major orchestras would likely have warned Mr. Salonen against presenting such a formidable program on tour. New York music lovers must be hungry for challenge, since they don't get much from the New York Philharmonic. Avery Fisher Hall was nearly full, and the final ovations were tumultuous. Stravinsky's work for piano and orchestra are almost anti-concertos. By its scoring alone, the Concerto for Piano and Winds (1924) is unconventional. It presents Stravinsky in his neo-Baroque mode, though with crunchy harmony, pummeling rhythm and craggy counterpoint. In the beguiling and stylistically eclectic Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra (1929) Stravinsky evokes, in his fractured way, both breezy Poulenc-like salon music and exotic modal Hungarian gypsy dance. "Movements" for Piano and Orchestra (1959) is one of Stravinsky's astringent and striking works in the 12-tone idiom. It's as if an elaborate piano concerto has been compressed into 10-minutes of chiseled, restless and elemental music.
