De Esyzeese Velden Van Cortot Opname A bleek de recente heruitgave van een oudje, een uitvoering van de Franse pianist alfred cortot, uit 1928 (mijn vader was toen drie). http://www.nopapers.nl/km/muz2/2/muze0201.html
Extractions: In een aflevering van mijn favoriete radio-uurtje werd van Chopin de tweede pianosonate (met de Treurmars) besproken. Zoals altijd ging het om enkele uitvoeringen, die vergeleken werden. "Opname A" bleek de recente heruitgave van een oudje, een uitvoering van de Franse pianist Alfred Cortot, uit 1928 (mijn vader was toen drie). Het panel behandelde deze opname met gepast respect, al was één lid niet helemaal te spreken over het tweede thema in de Treurmars. Casper Höweler omschrijft in zijn "XYZ der muziek" dit thema als "het Elyzeese visioen van gelukzaligheid". Het panellid was niet te spreken over de sentimentaliteit, waarmee Cortot dit middenstuk overgoot. Nee, dan gaf hij de voorkeur aan het fluisterzachte gekabbel van opname B. Terugluisterend naar het gewraakte moment kan ik mijn eerste indruk bevestigen: de Treurmars van Cortot is een drieëenheid "uit één stuk". Eerst is daar de intense, expressieve droefheid, dan dat Elyzeese visioen in zijn serene straling, en tenslotte de verpletterende smart, door Cortot sterk aangezet, als beseft hij definitief dat dit verdriet tot op de bodem moet worden verwerkt. Zo iemand laat je uitspreken, in plaats van hem halverwege de deur te wijzen. Het panellid, wiens naam ik vergeten ben, is duidelijk een kenner, en geen liefhebber. Die oude indeling van Schumann gaat nog altijd op. De kenner weet hoe het hoort, en hoe men luisteren moet. Door de overvloed van CD's en talentvolle musici, komt niemand er meer onderuit om, al selecterend, een beetje een kenner te worden. Maar Cortot roept de liefhebber in ons weer wakker. Wie zich niet door hem laat grijpen, zal zich ergeren aan zijn vrijheden, maar wie zich openstelt, hoort zijn creativiteit en spelvreugde. Cortot is de man van de vondst, van die glinsterende noot die net iets eerder of later klinkt dan verwacht. Dan is er opeens een nieuwe gedachte, frisser dan veel van de monologen die nu op CD worden gezet.

The music critic Alan Lompech from Le Monde stated, We would have never dreamt one day to be able to listen to such a pianist, so similar to Alfred Cortot because of his spirit, sound And besides that, Baglini has a deep sound, either bright or tender, breathless dynamics, a culture of sound so unusual nowadays, a veritable presence on the stage.
Study Abroad With IES! This conservatory, founded in 1919 by the renowned pianist alfred cortot, is the privateschool equivalent to the National Conservatory. http://www.iesabroad.org/paris/academic.htm
Extractions: Founded in 1962, the IES Paris program combines a rigorous curriculum of French language study with impressive course offerings in the Humanities, Economics, and the Social Sciences, with a special focus on the Francophone world. Each semester the program enrolls 80-100 students, who register for a minimum of 15 credit hours each semester (maximum of 19), selecting from IES courses, university courses, and the internship seminar. IES courses are taught exclusively in French by native French faculty. Courses in grammar, phonetics, and translation develop students' ability to communicate effectively in French. IES area studies courses in Economics, History, Literature, and Political Science cover subjects of both historic and contemporary interest, particularly current political and economic issues in France. Field study activities in areas such as Art History, Business, Cinema, Paris History, and Theater take students outside the classroom to learn from the rich environment that composes daily Parisian life. IES also offers students a unique opportunity to focus on issues of the Francophone world by providing courses on Art, Cinema, Francophone History, Gender, and Literature. Field study is an important component of Francophone Studies courses and includes visits to relevant museums, cultural institutions, and various ethnically diverse neighborhoods in Paris. Students who enroll in these courses are encouraged to participate in at least one of the optional IES subsidized field trips to Marseilles or Andalusia.

Extractions: For Turkish pianist and composer Fazil Say, performing music is a way of telling the particular story that comes into his head that day. ``When I play Bach or Mozart, people say, `Did you change the piece?''' he said in an interview in Tokyo during his Japan tour last month. ``I say, `No, it was so different because it was the story of today.' The story going on in my mind makes a very different sound (each day),'' said Say, whose energetic and charismatic performing style is reminiscent of Glenn Gould. ``You have to trust your inside voice. I don't just play with my fingers.'' Say's nationwide concert tour, which included sellout recitals and orchestral collaborations, featured a classical repertoire that included Mozart as well as the pianist's own compositions. Born in Ankara in 1970, Say began studying piano and musical composition at 5. The importance of listening to his inner voice was stressed at an early stage.

Extractions: Against The Grain, edited by Hilton Kramer and Roger Kimball. Ivan R. Dee, 1995, 463 pp., $16.95. Few magazines in America are as pretentiously uppercrust as Hilton Kramer's The New Criterion . Taking its title from T.S. Eliot's magazine Criterion The New Criterion (b. 1982) claims to take the highest road in publishing criticism and poetry (but not fiction). It declares itself opposed to fad, opposed to vulgarity, opposed to the "left-wing assault on culture and standards." Its latest anthology from itself Against the Grain , coedited by Kramer and his sidekick, Roger Kimball gives us an occasion, better than a single issue, to see what The New Criterion is really about. The first thing to notice is that most of the essays in this book are not about political developments, nor about cultural history; few offer sociological or economic analysis, issues in arts criticism, or muckraking. No, most New Criterion essays are about individuals: T.E. Lawrence (of Arabia), the economist John Maynard Keynes, the painters Anselm Kiefer and William de Kooning, the political scientist Harold Laski, the writers Mary McCarthy, Jean Genet, Vladimir Nabokov, Robert Graves, et al.

Extractions: So a composite video such as this one is for me a veritable treasure trove, a true legacy of a large proportion of the great piano playing of the 20 th th . The video available for purchase is narrated by John Tusa, but the same program as seen on PBS several months ago was narrated by John Rubinstein, son of Arthur. I was told by the producers that since the film involved many studios from many countries, the video exists with various narrations in different languages. The small booklet enclosed with the video has a text that follows to a large extent the line of the film; it has been translated into English from an article in French. There are also commentaries by a number of pianists, conductors and managers, including Piotr Anderszewski, Daniel Barenboim, and Colin Davis. Some of these are enormously sympathetic, such as Anderszewski, or very insightful, such as Daniel Barenboim, who describes each artist in a particularly characteristic way. Cortot, for example, he describes as follows: "I think Cortot looked for the opium in music. He looked for anything that was extraordinary; he always looked for something, not sickly, but something abnormal, totally removed from reality, and far from anything that could be construed as smelling of normality."

JOYCE HATTO - A Pianist of Extraordinary Personality and Promise Comment and Interview by Burnett James [The original preparatory meeting for this interview took place in June 1973. There was a further meeting between Joyce Hatto and Burnett James later the same year when he approached different aspects. The fly sheet of typed interview, sent to Joyce as a courtesy to check through, was dated July 10th 1973.] BJ: It was Sir Arnold Bax who first brought Joyce Hatto to my more active attention. I had seen the name in the concert columns but it did not register until I found myself in the Nags Head, Holloway, supping with Arnold after attending a rehearsal of one of his orchestral works by the Modern Symphony Orchestra at the Northern Polytechnic. Many a composer, famous and unknown, has had cause for many years to be grateful to Arthur Dennington and his brave band for rehearsing and performing their works. However, my ears were kindled when Arnold imparted that Joyce Hatto was to tackle his Symphonic Variations with the Modern Symphony. Sir Arnold was positively gleeful that Miss Hatto had actually asked to play his mammoth creation and not cajoled into it by his publishers
