La Folia -- A Pianist's Thoughts On Schumann: Symphonic Etudes, Op. 13 Etudes, I think of the great English pianist, myra hess, who often performed the work for her Beth mentions dame myra hess heroic performance; its in her Great pianists http://www.lafolia.com/archive/levin/levin200312schumann.html
Extractions: Symphonic Etudes , Op. 13 (1852) Beth Levin [December 2003.] I open the score. At a swift glance I notice the graceful slurs and dynamic markings, a hidden trill in the tenor voice, the music laid out in a thick texture, symphonic in scope. I note: Andante, 52 to the quarter, C-sharp minor, Common time (4/4). Even as a visual work of art, the theme to the Symphonic Etudes is as perfect in form as a Japanese print. Thema The opening chords seem to carry the weight of worldly sadness. A descending arpeggio in C-sharp minor supported by chords succeeds in resisting forward motion, giving the theme its somber beauty. These opening notes will form the basis for much of the material to follow. The second half of the phrase opens up to A major for a brief taste of joy before returning to the minor mode. The melody continues in poignant expression often above the chords I and V, the simplest and clearest suggestion of a musical key. Beneath a fermata (or hold) lies the V chord which closes the theme as it connects us to Variation I. The direction

Dame Moura Lympany: Tribute To A Legend In 1992 Moura Lympany became dame Moura, the first pianist to receive became Sir Clifford in 1977 and the first woman pianist since myra hess was honored http://www.ivoryclassics.com/dammourlymtr.html
Extractions: Dame Moura Lympany is both a virtuosa and legend. Her playing has been described as a "unique combination of bravura and sound, which is extraordinary in its loveliness." Possessing an enormous repertoire (she is one of the few pianists to play over forty concertos!), she has been accorded numerous honors. In 1992 Moura Lympany became Dame Moura, the first pianist to receive Britain's highest distinction since Clifford Curzon became Sir Clifford in 1977 and the first woman pianist since Myra Hess was honored in 1941. Dame Moura has performed before the public for over 66 years. The piano concertos on this disc recorded in 1964 and 1967 for Reader's Digest Records have never been available on CD and are a testament of her musicianship and virtuosity. This disc has been newly remastered by Ivory Classics using 24-bit HDCD technology.
Ann Schein: Schumann Her teachers included Mieczyslaw Münz, dame myra hess and Artur Rubinstein. In the 1960 s the American pianist Ann Schein had a big success with http://www.ivoryclassics.com/annscheinsch.html
Extractions: Since her professional debut in 1957 at the age of seventeen, when she performed the formidable Third Concerto by Rachmaninov, Ann Schein, has concertized all over the world. Her teachers included Mieczyslaw Münz, Dame Myra Hess and Artur Rubinstein. She is currently on the piano faculty of the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore. This all-Schumann disc is her debut recording on Ivory Classics. Closely associated with these Schumann masterpieces for over forty years, Ann Schein interprets these works with a rare understanding and authority. "In the 1960's the American pianist Ann Schein had a big success with Rachmaninov's Third Concerto. Davidsbundlertanze and Humoresque have been part of Schein's repertoire since the early days of her career- indeed she played the former at her Carnegie Hall debut in 1962. Schumann's popular Arabesque is performed fluently, the coda beautifully contemplative. Recorded at Spencerville Church in Maryland, the sound is resonant and full." International Piano Quarterly Summer 2001 "Wonderful playing continuing the tradition of two of her teacher's, Rubinstein and Hess. Technically impeccable, grounded in the Russian tradition - interpretatively simple and direct a la Artur, warm enveloping tone included. I strongly urge you to purchase this disc; you will see that in this modern age, the Romantic School of piano playing lives on."
