Capsule Reviews Alkan: Le Festin d'Esope, Barcarolle, Quasi-Faust , and Symphonie BMG High Performance (HP 09026 63310-2) Raymond Lewenthal, pianist Lewenthal started the recent revival of interest in Alkan and now I understand why. His performances are truly magnificent. They sound impossible! You can't believe that there are no other pianists playing at the same time! In fact, sometimes it's hard to believe that there isn't an entire orchestra there, the sound is so full and lush! Lewenthal brings out the best in these compositions, which is very good indeed. And the remastering is excellent, too. Even the program notes, which are by Lewenthal himself, are fascinating and extremely well written. Also on this disc is the most interesting group composition, Hexameron , by Liszt, Thalberg, Pixis, Herz, Czerny and Chopin. Bach: 5 Versionen der Passacaglia BWV 582 (Signum SIG X93-00) This is a great idea, well executed: a CD with five versions of the famous "Passacaglia" by J.S. Bach. The first version is performed on a period organ by Christian Rieger. The second, a piano version by Eugene d'Albert (1864-1932) is performed by Ernst Breidenbach. Next comes a version for romantic organ by Franz Liszt (1811-1886) and Johann Gottlob Topfer (1791-1870). The fourth version is for piano, four hands, by Max Reger (1873-1916). The pianists are Oliver Kolb and Ernst Breidenbach. And, finally, Leopold Stokowski's (1882-1977) orchestral transcription performed by the Frankfurt State Orchestra conducted by Nikos Athinaos.

Research into the life and works of the Russian composer, pianist and conductor Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff. Dear readers, 28 March 2003. It is sixty years since the death of Sergei Rachmaninoff, and my work on this homage to the master continues. I have posted a new review, rewritten five others and taken the older ones offline pending revision. Since I posted a short survey of Third Concerto recordings I have been sent numerous recommendations and recordings by friends and acquaintances, for which I am most grateful. The great performances of Mikhail Pletnev and, most of all, Walter Gieseking have changed my understanding of this evergreen masterpiece, and the survey has accordingly been removed pending revision. Since the last update, the West has once again embraced the absurdity of war. As the more fortunate among us lie buried under an avalanche of distressing images and propaganda, one thing remains clear: our leaders can fight for a place in history, but they will always lie in the shadow of true greatness. bb New review - Vallina plays the Chopin Variations (March 28, 2003)

He was born Apr. 1 (N.S.), 1873, at his family's estate, Semyonovo, in the Russian province of Novgorod. At about the age of 5, he began piano studies with his mother. In 1882 he entered the Saint Petersburg Conservatory, but he transferred 3 years later to the Moscow Conservatory. There he studied under the rigorous supervision of Nikolai Zverev, through whom he met many of the most important Russian composers of the time. Tchaikovsky , especially, exercised a major influence on him. He graduated in piano in 1891 and in composition with the Great Gold Medal in 1892. C-sharp Minor Prelude (1892), which would bring publishers a fortune and the composer world fame. The failure of his First Symphony in 1897 stifled his inspiration for 3 years.

SERGI VASSILIEVITCH RACHMANINOV April 1 nd Rachmaninov, Sergei Vassilievich (1873 1943), Russian pianist and composer, born Oneg, Novgorod, of the old Russian landed gentry. From the age of 9 to 11 he studied in St Petersburg Conservatory, afterwards at Moscow Conservatory, where he was a pupil of Zverev, Yaneiev, Arensky and Siloti. After a few years he began to give music lessons for a living. He composed an opera, Aleko, for his final examination and obtained the gold medal in 1892. He taught at the Maryinski Institute in Moscow, 1893-6, and conducted private opera in Moscow for Mamontov, 1897-8. The failure of his first Symphony in St Petersburg appears to have depressed him greatly, but in London in 1899 he recovered his spirits when he played and conducted works of his own with success. On his return to Moscow his old despondency returned until 1901, when he was cured by treatment. It was then that he wrote his second piano concerto, in C minor, the preludes for piano and some songs. He conducted the Moscow opera from 1904 to 1906, and then spent 2 years in Dresden, with touring intervals. In Dresden he composed his second symphony, in E minor (1907), the first sonata for piano, the symphonic poem for orchestra

Vladimir Horowitz (1904-1989) The legendary pianist Vladimir Horowitz plays Sergei Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3 Airing on CLASSICA on June 24, 1997 In 1928 Vladimir Horowitz came to the United States and made his U.S. debut in New York, where he became friends with Sergei Rachmaninov. A few weeks later, the two artists got together to play Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3 - with Horowitz as the soloist and Rachmaninov as the "orchestra" at a second piano. Fifty years later, Horowitz performed this work once again in New York, but this time accompanied by the New York Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta. Classica presents the live recording of this celebrated event at which Horowitz, who had played the work with its creator and knew it like no other, performed the concerto for the very last time. Born in Kiev (Ukraine) in 1904, Vladimir Horowitz was one of the most acclaimed pianists of the 20th century. His phenomenal virtuosity, his willful interpretative style and his delight in publicity turned him into a world-class star who was known far beyond the confines of classical music. He died in New York on November 5, 1989. Sergei Rachmaninov visited the United States for the first time in the fall of 1909. For his lengthy concert tour, he had brought the recently completed Third Piano Concerto with him. The nearly three-quarter-hour long work stands out for its enormous technical demands as well as for its intricate structural design, which links the three movements together cyclically through the use of the same thematic material. The Third Piano Concerto is a standard work in the repertoire of virtuoso concert pianists and shows the composer, who is sometimes unfairly called old-fashioned, as fully in tune with his time.

92. Sergei Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No.1 http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/1891/op10.html

Piano Concerto No.1 in D flat major, Op. 10 Allegro brioso ~ Poco piu mosso ~ Tempo I ~ Meno mosso ~ Piu mosso (Tempo I) ~ Animato ~ Andante assai ~ Allegro scherzando ~ Poco piu sostenuto ~ Piu mosso ~ Animato The opening of Prokofiev's First Concerto is pure Tchaikovsky. The D flat chords of the latter's First Piano Concerto - one of the most famous opening solo gestures in the repertoire - are here transcribed for strings and brass. The piano itself then joins the orchestra in a surging lyrical theme, the kind of theme (and especially the kind of texture) that Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov likes to reserve for the culmination of a finale; and the kind of theme which seems destined, as this one does, to come to a full stop. Where is Prokofiev in all this, and why does he start with a conclusion? Prokofiev is there in a subtle way in the raised fourth degrees of the scale which help to give the theme its characteristic piquancy. But he is there even more after the theme's full stop, when the piano charges off in an unprepared C major with a manic version of a conservatory pianist's limbering-up exercise; he is there in the following section when the soloist treats the home key as an arena for wit and fireworks; he is there most of all when the fourth section introduces an E minor funeral march, made transparent in the manner of Prokofiev's comic fairy-tale opera, The Love for Three Oranges . Above all, the chameleon-like adaptation of the piano to its surroundings is pure Prokofiev. The soloist is equally happy as Byronic hero, facile prodigy, masquerader and acrobat.
