Extractions: Daniel Barenboim just completed a cycle of Beethoven piano sonatas at Carnegie Hall. That is, he played all 32 sonatas, over eight recitals. In so doing, he became only the fourth pianist to perform this cycle in that historic hall. The first was Artur Schnabel, in 1936. Then came Alfred Brendel, almost 50 years later. Then Maurizio Pollini. And now, Barenboim. The Beethoven sonatas may be considered the summit of the piano literature. They are almost written on tablets. Of course, another summit is Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier (if we can speak for the keyboard in general, rather than the piano in particular). It's pleasant to reflect that Beethoven imbibed The Well-Tempered Clavier both books while learning in Bonn. Bach soaked into his brain, serving him well, forever. I have written about Barenboim extensively (elsewhere), and don't intend to repeat myself now: but I will not resist a comment or two. He is a mighty musician, of course, now better known as a conductor than as a pianist. But he is not always a successful pianist. As he proved in those eight recitals, he is shockingly inconsistent, capable of superb playing in one sonata, and outright amateurish disgraceful playing in another sonata. He often bulls his way through, not caring what he wrecks. And, at this stage of his career, he may suffer from a lack of practice time.

Extractions: Übrigens, bei einem Hauskonzerte sagte Joseph Krips zu mir: "Also junger Mann, Sie sind ja der geborene Dirigent! Kommen Sie nächste Woche zu mir, ich mache Sie zu meinem Assistenten!" Das war ein einmaliges Angebot, meine Klavierlehrerin ist vor Entsetzen fast in Ohnmacht gefallen. Es gab lange Familienberatungen, ob der Junge Pianist oder doch Dirigent werden soll. Die Sache war schnell entschieden, denn meine Klavierlehrerin hat den Sieg davongetragen. Krips war mir nicht böse, sondern hat mich unter anderen zum London Symphonie Orchester, nach Buffalo, zum Orchestre de Paris, nach Amsterdam und natürlich in Wien zur Uraufführung von Frank Martins Klavierkonzert eingeladen. Sehr fördernd für meine Karriere wirkte sich auch die Erfindung der Langspielplatte aus. Rasch wurde ich Hauspianist einer der wichtigsten Plattenfimen, nämlich Westminster. Eine meiner ersten Platten-Erfolge war eine Aufnahme des Forellenquintetts mit den Philharmonikern, dann folgte ein Klavierkonzert von Rimsky-Korsakow und von Skrjabin. Ein großer Erfolg war ein Mozart-Klavierkonzert, das in Amerika höchste Begeisterung hervorgerufen hat, so fragte dort die Presse: "Wer ist denn dieser unbekannte Badura, Badura-Skoda oder nur Skoda?"

Extractions: Kaum vorstellbar, dass ihn jemand nicht kennt:Vladimir Horowitz, den magistralen Pianisten des 20. Jahrhunderts, in dem sich romantischer Geniekult und das Virtuosentum des 19. Jahrhunderts wie bei keinem anderen vollenden und dessen Spiel den latenten Wahnsinn des technischen Zeitalters reflektiert. Wer ihn nie gehört hat, weiß nicht, was auf dem Klavier möglich ist. Horowitz konnte alles, aber nicht alles war deshalb auch gut und schön und schon gar nicht geschmackvoll. Vor allem konnte er schnell und laut spielen, schneller und lauter als je ein Pianist vor ihm. Er wollte Liszt übertreffen, den größten Virtuosen aller Zeiten, den er so unnachahmlich spielte - in technischer Hinsicht ist es ihm gelungen. Niemand allerdings könnte je einen Horowitz übertreffen, auch wenn immer wieder ein neuer Horowitz ausgerufen wird, sobald ein Pianist seine Lust am Artistischen zur Schau stellt und weniger sein Interesse an der Musik bekundet. Der noble Geiger Nathan Milstein, ein Freund und Kammermusikpartner Horowitz schon in russischen Tagen, wusste: "Bei Horowitz muss man sich im Klaren sein, dass seine Kunst eng mit seiner neurotisch-hysterischen Natur zusammenhing." Wenn er wollte, machte er infernalischen Lärm, und niemand weiß, woher dieser schmächtige Mensch die Kraft dazu nahm. Noch der alte, gebeugte Horowitz besaß diese orchestrale Wucht, den Funken sprühenden Witz.

Extractions: Daniel Barenboim Daniel Barenboim was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1942. He spent the first ten years of his life there until moving to Israel with his family. His mother was his first piano teacher, and his father, who was his only piano teacher up to that moment, continued to teach him until his international breakthrough as a pianist. Daniel Barenboim made his first public appearance as a pianist at the age of 7 in Buenos Aires. Shortly thereafter, he assisted conducting classes with Igor Markevich in Salzburg and studied harmony and composition with Nadia Boulanger in Paris. While still in Argentina, both Artur Rubinstein and Adolf Busch made a huge impression on the young Barenboim. Later, Edwin Fischer and Wilhelm Furtwängler, whom he met in Salzburg, influenced the young artist considerably in his musical development. After having heard him play in 1954, Furtwängler wrote about him: "Daniel Barenboim is a phenomenon". When he was 10 years old, Daniel Barenboim gave his international début as a pianist in Vienna and Rome (1952), and then in Paris (1955) as the soloist of the Societé des Concerts du Conservatiore under the baton of André Cluytens. He then played in London in 1956 with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under Josef Krips, and finally appeared in New York in 1957, where, only 15 years old, he played with Leopold Stokowski. A little later he played the Berg Chamber Concerto and the Bartók Piano Concerto with Pierre Boulez in Paris and Berlin. From that time on, he regularly toured Europe, the U.S.A. and South America as well as Australia and the Far East.
Extractions: Pianist and composer. He studied at the Grossmann Conservatory and then at the Vienna Music Academy, where his piano teacher was Bruno Seidlhofer. Made his debut 1944, and 2 years later won the Geneva International Competition. Made his Carnegie Hall debut 1950, and quickly gained an international reputation for his performances of the core classics, particularly Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert, but he also performed Chopin, Debussy and Ravel. Then c.1962, became disenchanted with the career of a solo pianist. His notorious dislike of authority earned him the sobriquet `Terrorist-Pianist', and he began to appear at concerts dressed in casual clothes. At the same time he developed a passion for jazz. Learnt to play flute and baritone sax, appeared at festivals and jazz venues in the USA, founded a jazz combo and a big band, the Eurojazz Orchestra. In 1966, founded a modern jazz competition in Vienna. His recordings as a classical pianist (the earliest date from 1949) included a complete cycle of Beethoven sonatas, Bach's `Well-Tempered Clavier', and the Beethoven cello sonatas with Pierre Fournier. He recorded several Mozart concertos with Hans Swarowsky, Claudio Abbado and Nikolaus Harnoncourt (one of his recordings is of the Mozart Concerto for 2 Pianos, with Chick Corea as the other pianist). His own compositions include 2 piano concertos, music for solo piano and a jazz musical.
