Pianist summons perfect storm of music "Ruth Laredo, known as 'America's First Lady of the Piano,' is gifted with steely fingers, prodigious technique, a passionate temperament and an affinity for dark and heavy music. In her superb recital Wednesday night at the Cleveland Museum of Art, the renowned artist plunged into pieces by composers who pushed and expanded the expressive powers of the piano. Shrewdly balancing familiar and lesser-known works, she played with ringing tone, intense presence and innate musicianship."
The Plain Dealer, Cleveland 4/17/04

Artist's Biography
Ruth Laredo
Tuned in concert 5/7/77 (Norwalk, CT.)
Ruth Laredo has achieved a reputation as one of the world's foremost pianist. A native of Detroit, Michigan, she studied with Rudolf Serkin at the Curtis Institute of Music and made her orchestral debut with Leopold Stokowski and the American Symphony Miss Laredo has appeared with most of the major U.S. orchestras including the New York Philharmonic , the Cleveland Orchestra , the Detroit Symphony , the Boston Symphony , the Philadelphia Orchestra and the National Symphony. Following a sensational debut with Boulez and the New York Philharmonic , she received reviews: "Smashing, sensational" (N.Y. Post). "Astonishing" (N.Y. Times), "Total triumph" (Byron Belt). The Newhouse Newspaper raved that she is "one of today"s dream keyboard artists." After a performance by Miss Laredo one reviewer stated, in the Tulsa Daily World, "Not only is she a concert pianist but she can also be said to be one of the few keyboard orchestrators of our time." Miss Laredo is widely recognized for her recordings of the complete Scriabin Sonatas and Preludes, as well as her the "best of the year,"

- Washington Post "Ruth Laredo is possibly the most generally admirable yet under-valued pianist on the American Scene." - "She has dynamic interpretation. She is romantic, but has a modern sense of clarity and understanding...absolutely superb." -Ongaleu No Tomo, Japan "One of Ruth Laredo's specialties has long been Samuel Barber's eloquent Piano Sonata, and her penetrating recorded performance is the first on disc that seriously challenges the classic version by Horowitz." - New York Magazine "The play of light and shadow is built into Ravel's piano music - which is not to say that every pianist projects it as effectively, indeed as magically as does Ruth Laredo in "Miroirs" (CBS Records)." - Los Angeles Times "Laredo's performance of the Sonatine (Ravel) is a model of neo-classical elegance."

Concert Review Rachmaninoff, Sergei Piano Concerto No. 2 in C-Minor, Op. 18. Vocalise, Op. 34, No. 14. Ruth Laredo, Pianist. The San Antonio Symphony Orchestra, Eduardo Garcia Barrios, Conductor. Majestic Theater, San Antonio, Texas, 16 October 1997. Ruth Laredo's rendering of Rachmaninoff's Second Concerto was excellent, and as this was the first time I heard it live, I was glad that it was she who was playing it. Although her reading of the score was a bit more formal than, say, a Rubinstein or Bolet, Laredo has this quality not much unlike Alexis Weissenberg does in the Rachmaninoff Third Concerto recording he made with Georges Pretre and the Chiacago Symphony in 1968. Her performance evokes in the listener a tenderness of feeling, especially in the second movement, that is not apparent in most performances. Most play this as though it is a musical cliche. Laredo, on the other hand, strikes every note as though each were a precious drop of a rare wine flowing from her fingertips, very sensuous and very dolcissimo . She plays the concerto with that quality of care few others even imagine possible - she can read the notes between the lines that elude other pianists. Further, she masterfully builds towards the climax in the third movement very forcefully, yet not pedantically; for her, this is no one-dimensional piece.

Grammy-Nominated Pianist Ruth Laredo to Perform
Published: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 Ruth Laredo, "America's First Lady of the Piano" (New York Daily News), will perform a recital on Oct. 24 at 8 p.m. in the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center's Dekelboum Concert Hall. A three-time Grammy Award nominee, Laredo has established a distinguished worldwide reputation as a leading soloist, recitalist and recording artist.
While particularly renowned for her pioneering recordings of the complete solo piano music of Rachmaninoff and the complete piano sonatas of Scriabin, her broad repertoire ranges from Beethoven to Barber. The New York Times declares her "a technical wizard. . . . She can hold her own with any pianist alive." Her Oct. 24 program includes the classics that she performed at her 25th anniversary gala concert at Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center in 2001 to celebrate her debut recital there:

118 across: Pianist Ruth, six letters. Any clues?
Laredo appears in a concert at Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall on the Princeton campus Saturday, May 16, at 8 p.m in a benefit concert sponsored by the Steinway Society. Her program includes works by Felix Mendelssohn, Johannes Brahms, Robert Schumann, Alexander Scriabin, and Maurice Ravel. A reception follows the concert. She also gives a master class at the Center of Theological Inquiry, 50 Stockton Street, Sunday, May 17, at noon. A lthough her repertoire is broad, Laredo is particularly known for her landmark recording of the piano sonatas of Scriabin 28 years ago, the first in North America, and the complete solo piano music of Sergei Rachmaninoff. She reviews how it happened. "I had never heard of Scriabin before I heard Horowitz play him, and I fell into mad love with his music. He was a hot-house plant, and an unusual composer. His late music is particularly remarkable. I was intrigued. A friend in my building loaned me a recording of Scriabin's 10 sonatas, and I never returned it. They are the most interesting and neglected music around. They're unusually varied. Scriabin lived from 1872 to 1915. He started out Chopinesque or Tchaikovskyesque, and grew into the composer of the future. He wrote the first atonal piece. Musically, he went from Chopin to Schoenberg in one lifetime. That's amazing." The Scriabin pieces on Laredo's Princeton program are his Poeme, op. 32, No. 1, his Deux Morceaux, op. 57, and his Sonata No. 9, op. 68 (The Black Mass).

December 22, 1996 Ruth Laredo, Alexander Scriabin
"The Complete Piano Sonatas" (Nonesuch)
Detroiter Ruth Laredo established her reputation as a major pianist through her revelatory 1970 recordings of all 10 Scriabin sonatas for the Connoisseur label and her later CBS LPs of Rachmaninoff's solo music. Nonesuch, which licensed the Scriabin material for a three-LP box in 1984, has finally done the right thing by issuing the material on CD. Etudes and miniatures fill out the two-CD set, which at $20 is a terrific bargain, even with the overly bright digital remastering. (The CD sound is still superior to the Nonesuch LPs, though the warmth of the original Connoisseur LPs trumps both.) Scriabin, a mad Russian mystic who fancied himself a messiah, was a genius, one of the 20th Century's most idiosyncratic composers. Influenced by Chopin and Liszt, he created his own dream-like world, a vast universe of feathery textures, hovering melody and harmonic ambiguity that eventually boiled over into a near-anarchy of stacked fourths and extreme chromaticism. It's best to sample Scriabin in large doses: Listen to an early, middle and late sonata in succession a wild journey starting with unique but domesticated music and ending in a swirl of wizardry and de facto atonality.

Summary Reviews
Sonata Collections
Pianist Ruth Laredo's Vladimir Ashkenazy's London label collection of complete sonatas is also inexpensive (in the Double-Decker format). (I bought the expensive older set that is made with a double jewel box.) The sound is less compressed than Laredo's, but has a a bit of harshness. The digitally recorded sonatas sound the best. The set lacks the excellent photos of the composer, as well as the beautiful design of the Laredo set. The liner notes in the Ashkenazy collection are the poorest of those I've reviewed. His playing is sometimes mechanical or choppy, but the 7th is the only lackluster performance in the set. The 10th is a bit disappointing, too. Many of his performances are excellent, such as the 1st, 3rd, and 8th. collection is another good choice, although it's pricey. The weakest performances in the set are his choppy and harsh rendering of the Fantasy in B minor and the soft 9th sonata. The 1st sonata is also played too fast, and without much emotion. His technique has a great deal of speed and detail. The collection is from the Hyperion label. The sound quality is very clean digital. The design is quite pleasing aesthetically. He is the only pianist to include an unpublished Scriabin sonata from his youth. The liner notes tell the reader that there are two other unpublished Scriabin sonatas from his youth. Hopefully someone will record those. Pianist Robert Taub's excellent complete collection of Scriabin's sonatas is available as a set on the Harmonia Mundi label. The performances are analog recordings from the eighties. This collection features the best sound quality of the collections in this review. However, on some sonatas, the left hand is too pronounced while the right is obscured. There is a distinct difference in the sound quality between sonatas because they were recorded at different times. As with the Laredo collection, the liner notes feature notes by the pianist. The set is pricey like Hamelin's. While many of Taub's performances excellent, the recording of the 7th sonata is a disappointment. The visual presentation is average like Ashkenazy's collection. Both collections feature the pianist smiling on the cover and lack the aesthetic attention present in the Laredo and Hamelin collections.

That may be easier to do for some people than for others, but we’ve all had trying times which may have tempted us to give up our dreams and goals. This month’s editorial focuses on difficulties in the lives of three outstanding concert pianists with the wish that these amazing stories will encourage you when you feel like you have been handed more than your share of lemons. It was reading the new article last month about Maryla Jonas , and her overwhelming difficulties during and after World War II, that prompted me to share with you other stories that I have found in websites featured in "Women at the Piano".
