The account of the Schumann Piano Concerto affords many moments of joy. The orchestra's contribution should be saluted, for Neumann inspires the woodwind/piano exchanges to attain the utmost delicacy and intimacy. Moravec, however, takes a rather languishing view of various parts of the first movement. The initial piano flourish seems a trifle ponderous and Neumann nearly stops before the re-statement of the opening (about 6'30). Neumann to his credit seems to want to resist this tendency, and also seems to enjoy the details of Schumann's accompaniment. The orchestral accents can be punchy and exciting. Curiously, Moravec's cadenza for once makes this a gripping event in the structure of the movement

63. The Times Argus Online - Canadian Pianist Champions Spanish Music MarcAndré Hamelin, replacing the indisposed Czech pianist ivan moravec,performed the entire “Iberia” by Spanish composer Issac Albeniz. http://www.timesargus.com/Music_Theater/Story/78938.html

Search the site Top Stories Central Vermont State/Regional ... About Us Canadian pianist champions Spanish music February 16, 2004 By JIM LOWE Staff Writer MIDDLEBURY – A fine pianist made the case for a relatively unknown 19th century Romantic composer, Friday evening at Middlebury College Center for the Arts, with mixed results. The Montreal-born Hamelin, who now lives in Philadelphia, was a more-than-able champion of Albeniz’s music. He is possessor of a formidable, though easygoing, technique but, more importantly, he has the sensitivity and touch to make colorful music like this work. His wide palette of colors and effects in “Iberia” were masterful, and his Debussy encore underscored this. Albeniz was a child prodigy as a pianist, and later became a composer and conductor. He earned initial success as a composer of salon music. With age his music gained depth and complexity, becoming highly respected, even by Debussy. Throughout, Albeniz was a nationalistic composer, championing the music and colors of his native land – and therein are both the charms and failings of his music. “Iberia,” “Impressions” as he subtitled the work, was written 1905-1908 and comprised 12 Spanish atmospheric miniatures, broken up into four books of three movements. Albeniz used recurring Spanish motifs in a variety of ways, many presaging the Impressionistic music of Debussy. He combined that with Liszt-like descriptive material.

70. Art Of Cluadio Arrau A much likelier candidate for elderstatesman status is ivan moravec. He is aCzech pianist, now in his fifties, who made a notable series of Chopin and http://www.princeton.edu/~gpmenos/art_of_C_Arrau.html

The Art of Claudio Arrau by W.L.Taitte, Texas Monthly/October, 1983. At eighty, the brilliant pianist Claudio Arrau plays passionately on, but successors in the Romantic tradition are hard to find. But Arrau goes on, playing better than ever. His tempos have slowed down over the years - there are drastic differences between his performances of any piece he has recorded more than once - but there can be no doubt that the changes result from conviction rather than physical necessity. He plays Liszt's frighteningly demanding Transcendental Etudes with commanding technique. His newest release, a Liszt potpourri (Philips 6514 273), displays Arrau's blazing emotional fervor and sincerity. It makes the most convincing case on records for Liszt as a major composer. The indispensable boxes of the Arrau Edition are the Liszt, the Schubert, and the Brahms, which is full of near-perfect performances. The more I listen, though, to the rest of the edition, the less I want to be without any of Arrau's interpretations and their sometimes quirky insights. Another major commemorative recording is Claudio Arrau: A Retrospective (CBS M3 37866), which contains performances of Liszt, Schumann, Chopin, Debussy, and Ravel from the late forties and early fifties. Comparing the CBS and Philips versions of Schumann's Kreisleriana shows the earlier Arrau to be a mainstream interpreter and the later Arrau to be more individual, even slightly eccentric, but tantalizing. Perhaps the real asset of the CBS box is the sample of five of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies. Both the music and the playing are far less solemn and imposing than in the Philips box; it is refreshing to hear the earlier Arrau indulge in a romp.

71. Radoslav Kvapil Press Reviews the disciple of Janácek´s disciple, the leading Czech pianist, Kvapil, who suchremarkable pianists as Rudolf Firkušný, Jan Panenka, ivan moravec and, more http://www.margaretmurphy.com/kvaprevs.htm

International Press Reviews Flexible yet commanding technique....Kvapil's undiluted, spontaneous performance, subtle in approach yet powerful in the overall thrust of ideas..... Beethoven's Opus 111 Sonata , delivered with decisive contrail, was performed with inexorable power....Kvapil is a pianist who commands attention. David Alker, Musical Opinion, May 2003 Radoslav Kvapil has done sterling service for the cause of Czech piano music, including a complete recording of Dvorák´s piano works. Kvapils sympathies range broadly, and if his own concert repertoire is a guide, then this series should attract anyone interested in late 19th century piano music, as well as the Czech enthusiast. Any performance needs not only energy and virtuosity, but also insight. Kvapil brings all these qualities to bear in performances which continually capture and hold the ear. J.W. BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE (London) Kvapil was born into the Janácek tradition. It shows in this superb disc. His romanticism is not a stylistic decision. It is an emphatic response to the music, which takes him straight to Janácek´s heart. Each tableau is unforgettably vivid. Kvapil is profoundly moving - one of the great piano records...Breathtaking. Brian Hunt CLASSIC CD (London) Kvapil plays this set with great understanding. He cherishes these curious reflective tonal sideslips, but also charges into the more energetic variations. His ability to characterize swiftly and surely is very necessary. Kvapil responds most vividly to the shorter pieces on this excellent record. These are interesting, intelligent and well-executed performances.

Moravec's Stellar Interpretations Of Mozart's Piano ... Great, not the Best, Though.... Related Product Reviews Rating: (5 of 5) Oh, my! This is one of those times you put the CD in, sit back, and stop breathing! It is also one of those rare times when you realize how much you want Moravec and Marriner and the Academy to get back into the studio and get the whole set completed and rushed to market! There is simply nothing comparable in the catalog for sound reproduction, breath-taking and sensitive piano playing and incredible orchestral support. This CD and its companion of the 20/23 concerti simply defy description in their beauty and near perfection of rendering Mozart. But only 4 concerti of the full set leave one hungry and desparate for more. I simply can't get these two CDs out of my player. top Rating: (5 of 5) Moravec's Stellar Interpretations Of Mozart's Piano Concerti These are the most passionate, lyrical performances I've heard of Mozart's 24th and 25th piano concerti. Moravec is definitely a great pianist who has substantial empathy for Mozart's scores. Yet I must also add that I was a bit disappointed with Moravec's choice of cadenzas; these wren't as elaborate as those I've heard on other recordings by Ashkenazy and Brendel. Admittedly, Moravec's interpretations may not satisfy those who are well versed with Brendel's performances, yet these are just as credible, and I think, substantially more exciting. Sir Neville Marriner leads the Academy of Saint Martin in the Fields in two splendid performances of the orchestral scores noted for their rich warm sound. The sound quality is quite good, though it may not be as refined as the best I've heard from Teldec, Deutsche Grammophon and Philips.
