New York Magazine Peter Serkin's rich musical heritage extends back several generations: his grandfather was violinist and composer Adolf Busch, and his father pianist Rudolf Serkin. In 1959, Peter Serkin made his Marlboro Music Festival and New York City debuts with conductor Alexander Schneider. He was subsequently engaged for concerto performances with Eugene Ormandy and George Szell. Since that time, Serkin has performed with the world's major symphony orchestras. He has played chamber music with Alexander Schneider, Pamela Frank, Yo-Yo Ma, the Budapest String Quartet, the Guarneiri String Quartet, the Orion String Quartet, and TASCHI, among others. He was honored as the first pianist to receive the Premio Internazionale Musicale Chigiana in recognition of his outstanding artistic achievement. The New York Times ). In June 200, BMG released his recording of three Beethoven sonatas. Peter Serkin's rendition of the six Mozart concerti composed in 1784 was nominated for a Grammy and also received the prestigious Deutsche Schallplatten Prize. Recorded with Alexander Schneider and the English Chamber Orchestra on RCA, this album was selected "Best Recording of the Year:" and one of the best recordings of the past two decades by Stereo Review. Other Grammy-nominated albums include Olivier Messiaen's Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant Jesus, and Quartet for the End of Time on BMG, and a solo recording of works by Stravinsky, Wolpe, and Lieberson on New World Records.

November 21, 1999 The New York Times (reprinted by permission) modified May 2002 RECORDINGS Brahms Without the Usual Comfort BRAHMS: THE VIOLIN SONATAS Pamela Frank, violinist; Peter Serkin, pianist. London 289 455-643; CD. R eviewed by Bernard D. Sherman "Most current Brahms performances," complains the pianist Stephen Kovacevich, "suggest a comfortable, overweight bank manager reluctantly refusing an overdraft." Many performers, for example, wallow in the First Sonata's opening movement, playing it much more slowly than the "Vivace non troppo" marking suggests. By contrast, Pamela Frank and Peter Serkin find a dancing lilt within the movement's lyricism, playing it faster than anyone else. Their tempo pays off particularly in the second thematic group, which sounds rhapsodic. In general, Frank and Serkin know how to shape a movement, holding back in one place so as to build something more passionate later. Bank-manager Brahmsians often ignore the composer's articulation marks, favoring an all-purpose legato. Frank and Serkin vary their articulation more. Sometimes this takes getting used to, as in the opening of the First Sonata. Ms. Frank whispers the first few notes at "half voice" as Brahms indicates; and she notices that Brahms wants the violin's second note to be detached from the first. If you learned this sonata from hearing one of the many violinists who sustain both notes fully, as if they were pouring out a thick chocolate sauce, the new recording may not sound right.

Home Composers Peter Lieberson updated 26 September 2003 Peter Lieberson Photo: George Georgakakos Composer Peter Lieberson’s work first came to national attention in 1983, with the premiere of his Piano Concerto , composed for Peter Serkin and commissioned by Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra for their centennial. Andrew Porter wrote in The New Yorker that it was a "major addition to the modern concerto repertory," and the subsequent recording of the work won Opus Magazine ’s Contemporary Music Award for 1985. Following its success, Lieberson was again commissioned by Ozawa and the BSO, which resulted in Drala (1986), "a short symphony but a profound one and, in many of its pages, a profoundly beautiful one," according to the Boston Globe Drala has been performed recently by the Chicago Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Toronto Symphony, and the Cleveland Orchestra. Opera has figured prominently in Lieberson’s recent creative output. Ashoka’s Dream is the second in a series of operatic works, beginning with King Gesar , on the topic of enlightened rulership and the creation of enlightened society.
