He has been described as the "Pianist of Pianists". Godowsky was born in Soshly, near Vilnius , in what is now Lithuania , after a tour of North America, he returned to Europe, intending to study with Franz Liszt in Weimar . Upon learning of Liszt's death shortly after his return, he traveled instead to Paris , where he was befriended by the composer and pianist Camille Saint-Saëns , who enabled him to make the acquaintance of many leading French musicians. Saint-Saëns even proposed to adopt Godowsky if he would take his surname, an offer which Godowsky declined, much to the older man's displeasure. Godowsky's pedagogical activity began in

Extractions: The fifth and last movement is the second longest with its in excess of seven-teen minutes. The movement has a Dies irae in the tempo indication, and consequently it is a serious event, almost like a Marcia funebre. The long list of indications for this concluding music of the sonata also harbors a Lento mesto and a Larghetto lamentoso, so the serenity of emotion is in place throughout, concluding the great sonata in thoughtfulness and reflection. This is masterly composed music, in the last movement reaching out to modern times in a sort of timeless statement, touching us today equally as naked and direct as it must have done at the time of composition.

Extractions: M ICHAEL NANASAKOV was born in 1955 in Vilns(Lithuania) . Godowsky was also from the same district .However, Vilns(Lithuania) at that time was the part of Poland, and was under the rule of USSR. Playing the piano was not Nanasakov's speciality when he was a boy. He began to study playing the piano at the age of 12 under Professor AROISIO, famous Father,composer who played the Organ. At this time, Musical Logic and Improvisations were Nanasakov's speciality. After a while, he was interested in PIANO, a musical instrument itself, and became a piano tuner. He acquired all the mechanism of this musical instrument to the minutest details, and his performances amazed many people. (There were no piano tuners in this area except him, though.) He obtained political asylum in the United States in 1989. Nanasakov says that he likes to be called a MUSICIAN rather than a PIANIST. "A pianist has to express oneself by playing the piano,which is a musical instrument. However many specialists organize a symphony orchestra, the different point of view, and I could say it is a conductor's music!" Nanasakov does not have any concert now,but only makes CD public. That is his style.

Extractions: HYPERION CDA67411/2 (2 CDs) [153' 02"] In order to fully appreciate what Godowsky has done it is important to know the Chopin originals (some of the greatest piano music). However, even if you are not familiar with Chopin's inspired creations as he wrote them, Godowsky's commentaries on them retain (to a greater or lesser extent) Chopin's melodies - each can be appreciated on purely musical terms as a Chopin/Godowsky collaboration. And there are some real gems here to complement what Chopin left us. That this is so is due to Hamelin. Whatever difficulties the pianist faces (and they are considerable), Hamelin has overcome them and is able to play each of Godowsky's Studies as a musical entity. It says much for Chopin's genius - and Godowsky's imagination - that it was possible, for example, for Godowsky to write seven Studies based on Chopin's Op.10/5. Each has a different character but Chopin's original is omnipresent: it's like viewing the same object from various angles and seeing a different (but related) perspective. Hyperion's booklet is a model of how to present music that isn't heavily represented in the catalogue or, in this case, only known to piano cognoscenti. Godowsky's own introduction is included along with an essay by Jeremy Nicholas (an author on Godowsky) and comments by Hamelin himself. Add the top-notch production values of Andrew Keener and superb Tony Faulkner sound and this release cannot be faulted. I did wonder though if Hyperion has missed a trick by not adding a third CD and asking Hamelin to record Chopin's 27 Etudes as well - a complete package.

The overall scheme, originally intended as a three-section form for each piece (designed to express the life of the people (Allegro), their poetic nature (Lento) and the Dance) became a four-part form of twelve pieces, each section consisting of three pieces. All are in duple/quadruple time as is all Javanese music (just as Godowsky's "Triakontameron" and "Walzermasken" are in triple time.) The sonority of the first piece "Gamelan" pervades the whole Suite. Godowsky had certainly heard the Gamelan orchestra in the Paris Grande Exposition Universelle (1889) but had experienced it the year before, visiting Java as an impressionable youth of nineteen. In the Foreword to the Suite he wrote:

Chopin's 24 Etudes are already notorious for their extreme technical difficulty, but the great eady-20th-century Polish pianist Leopold Godowsky had embarked on a sort of "mission impossible" and prepared a multiple arrangement (running to a total of 53 etudes), vastly multiplying the difficulties of the original, and making them into a kind of textbook of physical impossibility.

Extractions: Par 1 According to Vladimir de Pachmann, the pianist, whose playing of Chopin has won enviable fame for him, the transcriptions made by Leopold Godowsky are not to be taken lightly. They constitute, in his opinion, some of the most important works in the literature of the pianoforte. Par 2 "I only have learned a few of Godowsky's transcriptions of Chopin." said de Pachmann last weeek to a Times reporter, "but I have played over by myself all of Godowsky's works in this direction and I can scarcely tell how great I believe it to be. His original work may not be so fine, but his transcriptions are wonderful and very difficult. Who can play them? Only a few. They demand a special technique of their own. Godowsky himself perhaps does not bring to them all the supreme qualities they need. Par 3 Par 4 Par 5 "Touring fatigues me," he said, "and that voyage was dreadful. Then when the reporters met me at the dock and asked me if I liked America I told them 'No.' That morning I did not like anything. They printed all I said about America and musical critics and what not, and, of course, I didn't mean it at all. I was sick and cross.
