Performing Arts Library International Piano Archives at Maryland The Collection William Kapell William Kapell was a brilliant American pianist whose life and career were cut short by the crash of an airplane on which he was returning from an overseas tour in October 1953. He was barely 31, but was already acknowledged as the leading American pianist of his generation; some have said he would have been the greatest pianist of the 20th century. Born in 1922, Kapell studied piano with Dorothea Anderson LaFollette at the Yorkville Settlement School in New York and with Olga Samaroff at the Philadelphia Conservatory and, later, at the Juilliard School. In 1941, he won both a Naumburg Award and the Philadelphia Orchestra Youth Concert competition. This gave him opportunities for major debuts both as a recitalist and as a player of concerti. In 1942, he was given the Town Hall Endowment Series Award, providing him with yet another Town Hall recital during the 1942-43 season. He then signed a contract with RCA Victor and recorded a wide variety of repertoire for that company. (All of Kapell's RCA recordings have been reissued in compact disc format.) He toured North America annually thereafter, performing both with major orchestras and as a recitalist. He became an advocate of contemporary American piano music, and seems to have been especially prized by American composers. In 1945, he played a series of concerts in Australia, beginning to build an international reputation. He toured South America three times (1946, 1948, and 1951). He seemed to have a particular affection for music of South America that is reflected in his personal collection of piano music. He first played in Europe in 1947. In mid-1953 he performed in Tel Aviv, played at Casals's Prades Festival, and gave his final series of performances during the course of a three-month Australian tour. Returning from Australia, his plane crashed into a mountain moments before its scheduled landing in San Francisco.

A professional pianist can perform solo pieces, play with an orchestra or smaller ensemble, or accompany one or more singers or solo instrumentalists. A performing classical pianist usually starts playing piano at a very young age, some as early as three years old. Many well-known classical composers were able pianists themselves; for example, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Liszt, Frederic Chopin, Robert Schumann, and Sergei Rachmaninov were all virtuoso pianists. Some pianists have special preferences as to which composer's music they play. Click the link for more information.

William Kapell's Piano Benchmark By Tim Page Washington Post September 27, 1998 America's first great pianist has finally been accorded the tribute he deserves. In a sumptuously produced, exhaustively documented, and altogether thrilling new set of nine compact discs, BMG Classics (formerly RCA Victor) has assembled virtually everything ever recorded for the company by William Kapell (1922-1953), who was a celebrated artist by the time he was in his twenties and who was killed in a freakish plane crash at the age of 31. It would not be entirely accurate to suggest that Kapell has been forgotten in the 45 years since his death: There have been a number of reissues (including some so-called "pirated" performances that are excluded from this set) and the University of Maryland named its biannual piano competition after him. Still, this release will come as a revelation for most listeners, for we are finally permitted a more or less complete access to Kapell's legacy, and it is nothing less than staggering. Here is Kapell in all of his manifestations in unfailingly patrician and meticulously thought-through performances of Chopin; in soulful, impassioned chamber music recordings with Jascha Heifetz, William Primrose and Edmund Kurtz; in dazzlingly virtuosic renditions of the finger-busting showpieces of Aram Khachaturian and Serge Prokofiev. Not to mention superb Bach, matchless Copland, a lithe, radiant performance of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat and many others 10 hours of glorious music-making, all in all.

14. William Kapell: Notes By Claudia Cassidy In Memory of william kapell, Who Left Us Richer in Music From then on it was to mejust a question of time when kapell would be the foremost pianist. http://www.williamkapell.com/articles&reviews/cassidy.htm

In Memory of William Kapell, Who Left Us Richer in Music By Claudia Cassidy Chicago Tribune October 30, 1953 When I first heard him at Ravinia in 1943, he was 20, catapulted to fame by the Khatchaturian Concerto he was playing. It was not much of a concerto, but no one else has played it like that, with beauty and sweep and fire. It served notice, that concerto, of what was to come. Perhaps it was only just that it came, in a flood of splendor, at that same Ravinia in the summer of 1947 when he played the Third Rachmaninoff Concerto. No one who heard it will forget that performance. With it Kapell moved into the company of Horowitz and Rachmaninoff himself, who alone had conquered the citadel of that strange concerto, which is cheap unless it is magnificent. He forged the full splendor of the score from his amazing equipment of poetry and fire, of impishness and blazing technique. He conjured its curious fragrance by coaxing from the piano its loveliest songs. From then on it was to me just a question of time when Kapell would be the foremost pianist. Season after season, that time came closer. He played crystalline Mozart, a Bach suite of unforgettable purity of tone. His Brahms rose from the deepest lyricism, yet knew the inimical and the brusque. It poured out in a torrent of fabulous performance last season in the most extraordinary performance I have known of the D Minor Concerto. I called that playing fabulous. The word stands.

"... the blazing performance of Messiaen's ''Vingt regards sur l'enfant Jesus'' by Christopher Taylor in the Gardner Museum is likely to stand as a point of reference for many seasons to come." Richard Dyer, Boston Globe "...and his performance of three of William Bolcom's splendid "Twelve New Etudes" [was] delivered with a daring spontaneity that masked some phenomenal technique...Taylor should be watched. He may be one of the most impressive young pianists on the horizon today." Washington Post " "...his performance was a highlight of the season and already represents an astonishing achievement." The New York Times "...Taylor really nailed it, certainly deserving the multiple bows he gave and standing ovation he got when it was over. He drew a plump, cushy sound from the big Steinway." (with St. Louis Symphony) St. Louis Post-Dispatch " The young pianist Christopher Taylor is so talented it's almost frightening...Taylor revealed limpid, legato lines of plaintive beauty. His ear was alert to the fantasy and drama in this work." The Boston Globe "Taylor returned to the stage...and once again displayed a remarkable combination of brain, heart and fingers. In past appearances here, he has demonstrated his ability to bound from Bach to Messiaen, from Rachmaninoff to Boulez and do it all persuasively. Taylor can do it all."
