30. INKPOT#73 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: 10th Van Cliburn International Piano Competit It was said that the Russian pianist yakov kasman was the clearcut leader in allrounds leading up to the final until Nakamatsu played the Rachmaninov Third http://inkpot.com/classical/vanclib10g.html

Tenth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition (1998) Igor Stravinsky Four Études, Op.7 Johannes Brahms Sonata in C Major, Op.1. Frederic Chopin Andante Spianato and Grande Polonaise in E-flat major, Op.22 William Bolcom (b.1938) Nine Bagatelles (Commissioned specially for the competition) JON NAKAMATSU piano (Gold Medallist) HARMONIA MUNDI HMU 907218 [62'32"] full-price by Johann D'Souza INKTRODUCTION. 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.

31. INKPOT#64 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: Singapore Symphony Orchestra - 24 October 199 Van Cliburn Silver Medalist yakov kasman joins the SSO in the beautiful RachmaninovPiano not the most demanding work for the virtuoso pianist by Rachmaninov s http://inkpot.com/concert/sso981024.html

Saturday 24 October 1998 Victoria Concert Hall Singapore Symphony Orchestra SERGEI RACHMANINOV Piano Concerto No.2 in C minor, op.18 (1900-1) DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH Symphony No.11 in G minor, op.103 "The Year 1905" (1957) Yakov KASMAN piano CHOO Hoey conductor OVERALL NOISE RATING: 1 (The orchestra was too loud for any coughing to be heard) The Noise Rating Index is a partially-objective measurement of pager and handphone blasts, 9pm and 10pm watch beeps, coughing-during-the-pianissimo-bits, intra-audience conversation and other mind-bogglingly inept noises emitted in the concert hall during actual performance of music. It is measured on a scale of to 5, in increasing annoyance. This review has been kindly sponsored by the Singapore Symphonia Co. Ltd by Adrian Tan Only upon the return of Conductor Emeritus Choo Hoey does the audience get treated to the likes of tonight's program. Van Cliburn Silver Medalist Yakov Kasman joins the SSO in the beautiful Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2 in the first half of the program, followed by the daunting Symphony No. 11 "The year 1905" by Dmitri Shostakovich. High expectations abound from those who know the music. Surely, the SSO has come a long way to even dare attempt a repertoire such as this, a challenging program which will definitely test the musicians onstage to their fullest. A lingering thought at the back of one's mind is surely the heavy repertoire that might not bother the performers but the audience. Still, we keep an open mind for one of the season's most awaited concerts.

Kasman, a native of the Russian city Orel, near Moscow, has plenty of pieces on his concert program for the Sept. 28 performance that will dazzle audiences, said Thom Jackson, marketing and development officer for McCain. Scheduled pieces include Pytor Illych Tchaikovsky's "Grand Sonata in G Major, Opus 37," Robert Schumann's "Waldszenen, Opus 82," Alexander Scriabin's "Eight Preludes: Opus 22 and 37" and Igor Stravinsky's "Petrushka." Kasman, who has recorded nine studio compact discs within the past few years, also manages to divide his time between working as a concert pianist and as an educator; he is an assistant professor of piano and artist-in-residence at the University of Alabama, Birmingham.

37. November 16th Monterey County Herald Review started off the program. Russian pianist yakov kasman joined theorchestra as the featured soloist. The audience expressed much http://www.ktamarkin.com/countyherald.htm

The Monterey County Herald, Monday, November 16, 1998 Conductor Tamarkin sets high standard By Barbara Rose Shuler Special to The Herald The first lady set the bar high for the gentlemen Sunday afternoon as she guided the Monterey Symphony through an exhilarating performance of its second concert of the season at the Sunset Center in Carmel. Kate Tamarkin, the first woman in the symphony's 52-year history to conduct a subscription concert, distinguished herself with the ability and sophistication to lead this orchestra to exciting new levels. Tamarkin is one of seven candidates selected to audition this season for the position of the symphony's music director. With five more conductors yet to audition, it's premature to begin guessing how the selection committee will vote, but out-dazzling Tamarkin will be quite a challenge. She has established a reputation as an inspired and innovative conductor, winning acclaim for her years as music director of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra and the East Texas Symphony Orchestra. She conducted two major works from the standard repertoire: Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3 and Dvorak's lush Symphony No. 8 in G major.

Symphony's finale a rip-roaring event - Lyn Bronson, Californian, Monday, May 19, 2003 ...By any standard, its last Monterey Symphony concert of the season was a rip-roaring event equally divided between perennial favorites and something new. Maestro Tamarkin began the afternoon by leading the orchestra through a stylish performance of Ravel's "Tombeau de Couperin."... The final two movements "Menuet" and "Rigaudon" made a terrific effect as the strings and winds played with considerable precision and charm.Raúl Melo. review...
