Van Cliburn at The Kennedy Center: Making a Humane World One Note at a Time Van Cliburn at The Kennedy Center: Making a Humane World One Note at a Time Glenwood Jackson Van Cliburn had already stirred the sold-out crowd to its feet three separate times during his February 25 performance at the Kennedy Center. He already had converted several casual listeners into true believers by intermission. And he had already returned for two encores before an audience, including First Lady Laura Bush, that insisted on more. How could he add a final exclamation to the evening? Cliburn, the 69-year-old Texan, had one last surprise. He performed Franz Liszt's transcription of Robert Schumann's Widmung (Dedication), the love song that the German composer wrote for his beloved wife, Clara. But in this context, on this evening, Cliburn transformed the classic German lied into a memorial for "all who have ever lost a family pet," including, he noted, the First Family. The Bushes had lost their 15-year-old English springer spaniel, Spot, to old age just days earlier, on Saturday, February 21. And with that, Cliburn broke into a stirring version of

Media Resources main page KERA site VAN CLIBURN BIOGRAPHY The name Van Cliburn has probably been familiar to more people than the name of any other classical musician since Cliburn won the First International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow in 1958, at the height of the Cold War. For an American to be so warmly received in Russia and to win the top prize in the prestigious Russian music competition was a stunning accomplishment, especially given the political atmosphere at the time. Returning home from Moscow, Cliburn received a ticker-tape parade in New York City, the only time a classical musician was ever honored with the highest tribute possible by the City of New York. Upon Cliburn's invitation, Kiril Kondrashin, the conductor with whom the pianist had played his prize-winning performances, came from Moscow to repeat the celebrated concert program with Cliburn at Carnegie Hall in New York, at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, and in Washington, D.C. Their recording of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto, made during Kondrashin's visit, was the first classical recording ever to sell enough copies to be awarded a "platinum record," and by now has sold over three million copies. Following his triumph in Moscow, Cliburn played in several cities in the Soviet Union, and from that time on, he toured widely and frequently. He performed with every major orchestra and conductor and appeared in all of the important international concert halls. Between 1960 and 1972, Cliburn toured the Soviet Union four times. He made many timeless and popular recordings of major piano concertos and of a wide variety of solo repertoire. Cliburn has performed for every President of the United States since Harry Truman and for royalty and heads of state in Europe, Asia, and South America.

It is not uncommon for Americans to give ticker-tape parades to homecoming winning basketball teams like the Chicago Bulls or Olympic medallists; but for a pianist- that's practically unheard of. Well, that is exactly what happened to Van Cliburn, the tall Texan, when he won the First (ever) Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow in 1958. A virtual unknown on Russian soil, he was soon to be the favourite going into the finals. The Russians were shocked but not surprised for Cliburn possessed charm, charisma, stature and not forgetting good technique. Practically every major classical recording star has won a major competition, Martha Argerich - the Chopin Competition; Vladimir Ashkenazy - 2nd Tchaikovsky Competition 1962; Murray Perahia - Leeds Piano Competition; Kristian Zimmerman - Chopin Competition and the list goes on and on. In fact it is now a great belief that one needs a major competition to bolster one's career. Major competitions like the Leeds, the Arthur Rubinstein Competition, Tchaikovsky and Chopin Competitions give the winners major career breakthroughs, with engagements at various major halls and festivals, recording contracts with major labels like DG, EMI or Teldec (who can normally afford the crème de la crème). Past winners of the Van Cliburn competition in recent years have included Jose Fenghali and Alexei Sultanov.

He was the harbinger of what the Russian music schools were made of, which no one in the outside world had ever heard of. After hearing Richter, he came back to the States and told the "whole world" about this great person. (Richter was already making a name for himself, notably through the "Sofia Recital" in 1958, which has been called the recital of the century by many a music enthusiast).

The Russians with all their pride knew that a loss would be equivalent to a World War loss (mind you the Cold war was at its peak during this time). Everything was at stake in this competition - however sometimes music transcends all barriers. But otherwise the Tchaikovsky Competition has been noted for its controversies - Ovchinnikov finishing in a tie with Peter Donohoe, Ashkenazy doing the same with John Ogdon in 1962. The most recent is that of Freddy Kempff's 3rd prize in 1998.

Mr. Reich gives many interesting little anecdotes from Mr. Cliburn's life, and frequently quotes friends of the pianists, and even Mr. Cliburn himself. In fact, there are so many quotes from Mr. Cliburn that a friend of mine stated that it could practically be an autobiography. I wish Mr. Cliburn WOULD write an autobiography, but just from what I know of him that seems unlikely. At any rate, the book starts off with a rather too detailed geneology, tracing Mr. Cliburn's roots back to somewhere in England, and detailing the career of his great uncle on his mother's side or something like that. But I didn't want to read about his great-uncle on his mother's side - I wanted to read about Mr. Cliburn.

September 1999 Concert Pianists for a Weekend: The Van Cliburn Amateurs Carl Tait [This article first appeared on June 16, 1999, when the author posted it to several of the Usenet newsgroups relating to classical music. It is reproduced here in its entirety with the author's kind permission - AC] The First Van Cliburn International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs ended late Sunday evening, June 13, 1999, much to the regret of its participants. Disappointment that it was over? Aren't competitions supposed to be vicious, highly-politicized events full of sound, fury and forgettably perfect performances? All too often, yes. But this competition had a completely different feel from any I've played in or heard about. All of us who competed wanted to play miraculously and walk off with one of the prizes, but that's where the similarity with standard music contests ended. This event had the feel of 92 talented amateur pianists getting together in an exceptionally large living room to play for each other. Every once in a while, we'd go outside and chat for awhile, or sit down to dinner to discuss our passion for music and other, less important, subjects. I've never felt such a lack of "competition" in the usual sense of the word: yes, we knew we'd be narrowed down to successively smaller groups of active performers, and someone would eventually win, but I sensed none of the edgy terror that usually accompanies such rituals. Instead, there was palpable enthusiasm, excitement, and sheer happiness at being included in a large group of people with similarly intense feelings about piano playing, despite our chosen careers in fields other than music.

His Moscow triumph, both as the artist who won First Prize and as an audience favorite, continued when he returned to a hero's welcome in the United States. Nothing quite like it had occurred in the small world of classical music before. His arrival in New York City was more like that accorded a certain British rock band in the sixties, and his triumphal tour continued from city to city. Van Cliburn's recording that year of the winning piece, Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, set a standard that has yet to be surpassed; the most popular classical piano recording ever, it has never been out of print. Cliburn has always stressed the fact that he is a Texan. His father had a job in Shreveport at the time; and, as it says in his 1993 authorized biography by critic Howard Reich, "By the time Van turned six, the family had moved back where it belonged, to ... Kilgore."

Music Index Metro Metroactive Central Archives Cliburn Clunker Legendary pianist can't live up to his own famous 'First' By Philip Collins F ANS LINED the front of the stage, waving, applauding, holding out flowers and open hands to legendary keyboardist Van Cliburn. It was the kind of frenzied response that is reserved for superstarsas opposed to exalted music-making, of which there was little Saturday night at San Jose Symphony's gala concert featuring the celebrated virtuoso in a performance of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1. How many times Cliburn has played Tchaikovsky's "First" is a matter for his chroniclers to determine, but figure it easily in the upper hundreds, if not thousands. Considering that Cliburn's 1958 recording of the work was the first classical album to ever go platinum, it's understandable that he still feels obliged to perform it so regularly. Listening to Cliburn's luminous, vintage recording of the Tchaikovsky prior to Saturday's concert could only lead to disappointment. Here was one of the most formidable undertakings that the concerto literature has to offer, and the American pianist who tamed it so incomparably 38 years ago. It was a standard that no artist could relish living up to, and Cliburn's efforts to outshine his own shadow clearly taxed his abilities. Though some difference between then and now may stem from Cliburn's evolving take on the piece, his subtleties of reinterpretation were eclipsed by technical inconsistencies and an overall dampening of nuance.

Music Index Metro Metroactive Central Archives American Sputnik Maestro of Contradictions: Van Cliburn's long career embraces many eccentricities. Pianist Van Cliburn's early triumph in Moscow has made him a rare, bankable star of classical music By Philip Collins H E BEGAN PIANO lessons at age 3. Twenty years later, he was the subject of a ticker-tape parade in New York, the only one ever held in honor of a classical musicianafter all, nobody had expected a 23-year-old American student from Juilliard to steal the gold at the First International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, and with a performance of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, no less. From that moment on, Van Cliburn would be recognized as one of America's most bankable musical superstars. Deservedly so, for he had bested the Russians at their own game during the peak of Cold War hostilities; he was even nicknamed "the American Sputnik." Cliburn and Tchaikovsky's Concerto No. 1 have been inseparable ever since. The work grew to be pianist's trademark, and his 1958 recording of it was the first classical record to go platinum. Two decades later, Cliburn would again shock the music world by announcing his withdrawal from performing. His sabbatical surprised many, but Cliburn's reputation for eccentricities had created a popular mystique that thrived on contradictions (excepting his repertoire, which was remarkably staid). Here was an artist who neither smoked nor drank, and routinely began his recitals with "The Star Spangled Banner" (one of America's greatest classical works, he has said, although the music is actually English in origin). Furthermore, he wrote poetry and was labeled "vegetarian" (erroneously so) because of his finicky dietary requirements on tour. So it wasn't completely unprecedented that Cliburnlike the late Glenn Gouldwithdrew from concertizing.
