Villa-Lobos: Piano Music Vol. 1 / Rubinsky Gramophone , July, 1999 Bryce Morrison Amazon.com At last, a replacement for Roberto Szidon's long-deleted recording of Cirandas! This is one of Villa-Lobos's most delightful works, a long piano suite (41:46 in this recording) of folk-flavored pieces that progress from one charming idea to another and never outlast their material. The Baby's Family, the first of two suites, is also charming music, made popular by Artur Rubinstein. The Chopin tribute is one of those crocks of musical dishwater Villa-Lobos stuck his hands into when his mind was on something else, but it's brief and comes at the end of the disc. Brazilian pianist Sonia Rubinsky plays with stylistic insight and gorgeous piano tone, very well captured by Naxos in a recording that sat in the can for almost five years before it was finally issued. - -Leslie Gerber Fanfare Magazine Fanfarre, July/August 1999

CONCERT EUDÓXIA DE BARROS L’ESPRIT ET LE COEUR Toute la chaleur de l’âme brésiliennne était bien nécessaire pour réchauffer l’ambiance du théâtre Jacques-Coeur, dimanche aprés-midi. Une cinquantaine de spectateurs seulement s’étaient deplacés pour entendre la pianiste brésilienne Eudóxia de Barros. Sans doute la mixité du programme, mêlant musique classique européennne et musique brésiliennne, avait-elle découragé les amateurs uniques de chaque genre, qui pourtant ne sont pas si éloignés l’un de l’autre. Toujours est-il que ce demi-désert aurait pu saper le moral d’une artiste a l’âme moins bien trempée. Mais Eudóxia de Barros n’en avait cure. Elle a joué comme pour une salle comble, avec la même générosité, le même don total. En première partie, avec des oeuvres de Bach, Bartok, Liszt et Moskowsky, elle avait choisi la difficulté, temoignant d’une technique éblouissante, d’une autorité de maitre, d’une virtuosité extraordinaire. Attentive á son art, elle semblait intellectualiser la musique.

A.E.] At the piano with Ignaz Friedman, by Allan Evans. Friedman's introduction to teaching came as he assisted for four years his own teacher, Theodor Leschetizky (1830-1915), himself a pupil of Beethoven's pupil Czerny. Daily contact with Leschetizky sharpened Friedman's pedagogical abilities even further. Friedman witnessed how his Professor adopted a unique approach to each talent, broadening their playing and refining it into mastery. Friedman recalled : "He was probably the last of the great artists who knew how to unite the sovereign and the Bohemian in one and the same person. He was one of the teachers who knew, who knew positively , when the student had ceased to be a student and had become an artist. Then the man who the day before had played the part of a veritable tyrant, would show himself the day after in the role of an old colleague, ready to consult on a footing of equality with his erstwhile pupil. Though he might have thrown a volume of music at his pupil's head a few hours before, once he felt that the former had crossed the boundary line which separated him from artistic maturity, he would discuss the most delicate nuances of his art with him in the most loyal and open-hearted manner, and permit him to take all sorts of liberties. All this merely because he realized that what had been merely grape juice was turning into wine."

Liner Notes Carl Friedberg: Artist and Teacher Carl Friedberg (1872-1955) is remembered today as one of the great pianists of the last century, perhaps the most significant of that group of Schumann and Brahms pupils who left a substantial legacy of recordings. Less well remembered is that he was also one of the outstanding pedagogues and supreme musicians of his time. It was my rare privilege to study under his masterful guidance for more than ten years. Friedberg was born in Bingen, Germany on September 18, 1872. He began giving private lessons at the age of 16, shortly after meeting and playing for Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms. Within two years he was supporting himself through his lessons and accompanying jobs while still a student at the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt. Shortly after his orchestral debut with the Vienna Philharmonic in 1892 (with Gustav Mahler conducting), he joined the faculty of the Hoch Conservatory. In 1904 he became the principal piano teacher at the Cologne Conservatory, all the while pursuing an international career with both solo and chamber music repertoire. He made his American debut at Carnegie Hall in November 1914. The onset of the First World War obliged him stay in the United States, where he then taught privately and toured as pianist. He returned to Germany in 1918, replacing Artur Schnabel in the Schnabel/Flesch/Becker Trio. A year later Frank Damrosch recruited Friedberg to teach advanced piano students at the Institute of Musical Art in New York City (1905-1933), a conservatory that gradually merged with the Juilliard School of Music (from 1934 to the present). When I came to him in 1940 as a graduate student, age 19, he had been teaching at the Institute and at Juilliard for 24 years.

News Biography Discography Audio News Biography Discography Audio ... Links By the time she was seventeen, it was clear that Clélia needed to spread her wings and her parents decided that she should study abroad. She won a scholarship to London to study with the highly reputed, Maria Curcio, who was a former pupil of the pianist great, Arthur Schnabel. Clélia also studied with Christopher Elton at the Royal Academy of Music who encouraged Clélia to play new repertoire, whilst trying to "tame a little bit of her wild Latin American spirit". It was during these years that Clélia worked on her chamber music playing, studying harmony, counterpoint and conducting and she won several prizes including the coveted Recital Diploma. It was also when she met her future husband, Renato, who was also studying piano there. However, probably the greatest teacher of all was Mercês de Silva Telles, a Brazilian piano teacher who studied with Claudio Arrrau who she met after winning the Santander competition in 1987. Other awards have included winning top prizes at the Tunbridge Wells Piano Competition in Kent, the Paloma O'Shea Award in Santander and Pilar Bayona in Zaragoza. Although she returns home to Brazil two or three times a year, Clélia has made London her home. She married Renato in 1989 and although he no longer professionally plays piano, they often play duets together at various local concerts. Nowadays, more of his time is spent with their two children Raphael (8 years old) and Maria Clara (6 years old) watching their mother perform professionally throughout the U.K., including her recitals and concerto performances at the Wigmore Hall, Purcell Room, Queen Elizabeth Hall, St John's Smith Square and major music societies throughout the country. Overseas, Clélia has played concerts tours and recitals in Brazil, Argentina, Canada, France, Portugal, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Venezuela, the former Yugoslavia, the Czech Republic and USA. In between such engagements, Clélia also regularly appears in radio and television broadcasts in several countries such as Brazil, Venezuela, France, Spain and the U.K. Recent engagements include a recital at the Wigmore Hall where she played the "world premiere" of Marlos Nobre's Sonata Breve, a tour in Sweden with the Vasteras Sinfonietta, the UK, a tour in Norway with the Kristiansand Chamber Orchestra, Portugal and in Brazil recitals and concerts with the Orquestra Petrobras Pro-Musica and Orquestra Sinfonica da Bahia. Over the past few years, Clélia's unique mastery had been captured on disc. Her first CD with music by Villa-Lobos released by Meridian Records was received to great critical acclaim and has been broadcast in many countries, including the BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM in the U.K. She has also released the recording of Latin American Dances with the Swedish label Intim Musik as well as a disc of Mendelssohn's Piano Concerto No.1 and Concerto for Violin and Piano with Joachim Gustafsson, which was released in December '99 and was chosen by Swedish Radio as the best recording of the Double Concerto in comparison with any other recordings of this work. Her new CD "The Waltz Album" has been well received by the critic and public alike. She will release another CD dedicated to Brazilian Piano Concertos with Lontano and Odaline de la Martinez on the Lorelt label in the New Year. Forthcoming recording projects include a CD with piano music by Lecuona.

In the unpublished article Bresilien Music I arrived in Brazil just in the middle of the carnaval. It is a time during which popular mirth bursts forth with a violence undreamed of by Europeans accustomed to the three days of festivity of a carnaval in Nice or Aix, interrupted by the sternness of Ash Wednesday giving way to Lent. In Brazil three days are not enough. During the months preceding a carnaval, one organizes it. Clubs are founded, a group of friends decides that they will remain together during the carnaval festivities and thus forms a committee with a president, a vice-president, a secretary and a treasurer. The major part of their savings goes into the making or the renting of gorgeous costumes, in which ostrich feathers play an important part. For several weeks on Saturday evenings these small clubs sing and dance along the streets; they take part in the popular dances held in public squares or enter the dance halls. In the country these same groups, seated on floats covered with foliage, sing their favorite songs on the roads, accompanied by the different instruments indispensable to all carnavalesque clubs.

Program Locations Argentina Austria Bolivia Brazil Chile Canada Costa Rica Dominican Republic Ecuador France Germany Greece Guatemala Italy Mexico Peru Portugal Puerto Rico Russia Spain Switzerland Venezuela Music and Dance The African musical influence is very strong in Brazil and is found in the instruments, rhythms, and dances that are enjoyed there. The most familiar African instruments are various large drums, two-toned agogo bells, a variety of rattles, and bowed instruments with a resonating gourd attached. Another popular African instrument is the friction drum, which is a metal drum with a leather head that is punctured by a stick wrapped in a wet cloth and moved up and down, making a haunting sound. Much African music is used to accompany dances that are included in rituals. The drums are considered sacred, and the drummer plays a very important role in the rituals. The most popular dance in Brazil, the samba, comes from African rhythms and movements. The music for the samba is usually played on African-derived instruments but might also include brass instruments and guitars. Each region of Brazil has its own form of samba. The best time to experience the music and dance of Brazil is during Carnival. This is a pre-Lenten festival in which groups of people dress in elaborate costumes and parade through the streets. The celebration usually begins with marches with lyrics that praise women and criticize the government. Members of different samba schools gather and enter the parade, dancing their samba down the street and singing their school song, accompanied by large drums.

P o l i s h M u s i c J o u r n a l Vol. 5, No. 2 , Winter ISSN The Writings of Zygmunt Stojowski by Joseph A. Herter Introduction The numerous articles that Stojowski penned show the composer-pianist-pedagogue in still another light: as a writer and musicologist. His biographical articles on composers include ones on Chopin and recollections of two others whom he knew personally - Brahms and Paderewski. As a pianist and pedagogue expressing himself in written word, we can find articles on piano performance and interpretation as well as many "Master Lessons" which appeared in The Etude magazine. As a composer, we find him authoring articles that reflect his philosophy of music and give his opinions on the contemporary music of his day. As a musicologist, though, Stojowski can be found at his best in writing about the music of his native Poland and in the unpublished commentary of Chopin's Mazurkas, which accompany his own fingered and pedaled edition of these pieces that were also never published, save for the exception of one. The articles listed here are written in Polish and English. Native English speakers will not only admire Stojowski's flawless grasp of the English language, but they will also be amazed to know that English was not the musician's second language. It was his fifth. A polyglot, Stojowski first became fluent in Polish, Russian, French and German before he moved to America, where he also mastered Spanish with the help of his Peruvian-born wife Luisa Morales-Macedo and - to a lesser extent - Portuguese with the help of one of his students - Guiomar Novaes. The multilingual Pole also had a working knowledge of ancient Latin and Greek. He shared his knowledge of Latin with his youngest son Ignatius, becoming his son's first Latin teacher prior to his entry into a Jesuit seminary.
