Extractions: Delos DE3154 DDD 62:17 A little while ago I wondered what had happened to pianist Lorin Hollander. The trail of recordings, which started in the sixties with a number of impressive LPs for RCA Victor, seemed to have grown cool in recent decades. Several individuals pointed me to this recent Delos release, recorded in 1993-94, and it's my pleasure to report that Hollander sounds just as good here as he did thirty years ago. Delos's notes indicate that maybe I missed the boat: Hollander has been busy giving concerts and master classes, and he's been lecturing on musical, philosophical, and religious topics. Schwarz's Appalachian Spring is not an unusual performance, but it's fresh and outdoorsy, and at the end, touchingly tender, and so it's hardly a debit to this CD. Opus lists only one other recording of the early (1927-29) Symphonic Ode , and that one is conducted by the composer. Because that recording is available only within a 2-CD set from Sony Classical, the same set that includes the Copland/Bernstein recording of the Piano Concerto, Schwarz's recording has an economic advantage, even if it doesn't have a clear interpretive advantage. It clearly has a sonic one - Delos's 20 bit digital sound (Dolby Surround encoded, too) is far richer than what Columbia offered thirty years ago. There's nothing more to say about this excellent release, except to mention the dramatic cover art and Jim Svejda's notes, which begin, "The history of 20

Extractions: Elaine Greenfield's Debut On Piano Is Admirable It's refreshing to hear a young pianist present a debut recital of the sort given by Elaine Greenfield last Sunday afternoon in Carnegie Recital Hall. Not only was the choice of music well-balanced and unhackneyed, but each piece was admirably tailored to the pianist's capabilities and temperament. Miss Greenfield, who lives and teaches in Vermont possesses a formidable technique that she uses more for intimate expressive purposes than for flashy surface effect. This was especially apparent in Schumann's deceptively difficult "Papillons." Each tricky phrase was exquisitely turned, textures merged with crystalline clarity and the entire work was infused with a tonal warmth and graceful airiness that caught the capricious nature of the music perfectly. A major proportion of Miss Greenfield's sympathies apparently lie in the French repertory, for she offered a generous selection from Debussy's second book Of Preludes, Ravel's "Oiseaux tristes" and Faure's Theme and Variations (Op.). The Preludes were particularly well conceived, characterfully etched in a clearly drawn, rhythmically strong profile that made a welcome contrast to the mushy Impressionistic haze that many pianists consider appropriate for this composer.

Honolulu Star-Bulletin Features The concert featured pianist lorin hollander in the Piano Concerto in F and theAlbert McNeil Jubilee Singers in excerpts from the opera Porgy and Bess. . http://starbulletin.com/98/01/12/features/story2.html
Extractions: Special to the Star-Bulletin GEORGE Gershwin's music perches somewhat uneasily between classical and jazz. Sixty years after his death, people still ask whether it was "classical" or "jazz," whether he was "serious" or "popular" (as though jazz and popular composers are neither serious nor their works classical). One can only hope his music will someday outlast the questions. Yet the questions persist, no longer out of pure snobbishness, but because the distinction between classical and jazz idioms persists. And therein lies the uneasiness. There are good reasons why jazz is usually performed by jazz musicians and classical, by classical musicians. It is a rare artist, indeed, who can perform both well. Yesterday's Honolulu Symphony Masterworks concert celebrated the centennial of Gershwin's birth with an all-Gershwin Jubilee. The concert featured pianist Lorin Hollander in the Piano Concerto in F and the Albert McNeil Jubilee Singers in excerpts from the opera "Porgy and Bess." Hollander, with the technique of a classical pianist and the soul of a jazz musician, played Gershwin as though born to it. Syncopations and complex rhythms danced from his hands. Hollander the philosopher dominated throughout: the concerto is rarely played so beautifully. Each phrase was nuanced with care, with thought, with feeling. His interpretation was melancholy and lyric rather than raucous and brash - which Gershwin can also be.
Michael Colgrass, Composer, Writer And NLP Trainer pianist lorin hollander can see in his mind s eye the notes of a piece he slearned, almost as if the music were on a music stand in front of him. http://home.interlog.com/colgrass/73.html
Extractions: What's the best way for a musician to prepare for performance? How do we learn fastest and memorize best? Each performer is unique and we have no pat answers to these questions, but I have found that the most solid performers not only hear and feel the music deeply, they also use imagery to improve their performance. For example, string players strive to develop a big tone, but simply practicing longer and louder will only fatigue the fingers. Violist Emanuel Vardi is known for the gigantic size and beauty of his tone, even though he uses a small viola. I once asked him how he accomplished this richness of sound and he told me he had spent long periods of time practicing while looking at mountains and projecting his sound to the uppermost peaks. He would actually see the sound floating to the mountain tops. His fingers instinctively made all the adjustments necessary to accommodate this image, and when he got to the concert hall he could project effortlessly to the last row of the balcony. French Horn player Joseph Eger solved the age-old problem of "cracking" on an entrance by making a visual image of a target and imagining the note he was about to play as the bull's eye. Not only did he avoid cracking, but he improved his intonation as well, because he hit the note dead center. Mezzo-soprano Jan DeGaetani used imagery to guarantee a high level of performance. I once asked her how she managed to sing at her highest standard when performing with an inferior orchestra, which all great performers are occasionally obligated to do. "Oh, that's easy, she said, "I just imagine the ideal orchestra and conductor for the music I'm singing. If it's Mahler, I see Karajan on the podium and hear the Berlin Philharmonic."

Music Concert pianist lorin hollander has described the rich visual imagery he hasexperienced all his life on playing the works of the great composers. http://www.nyu.edu/classes/neimark/music.htm
Extractions: Dr. Ohno has notated over fifteen songs of the DNA of a variety of living organisms during the past two years. He finds that the more evolved an organism is, the more complicated is the music. The DNA of a single-cell protozoan, for example, translates into a simple four-note repetition. But the music transcribed from human DNAe.g., the body's receptor site for insulinis much more complex. Listeners knowledgeable about music have taken these DNA-based compositions for the music of Bach, Brahms, Chopin and other great composers. These melodies are majestic and inspiring. Many persons hearing them for the first time are moved to tears; they cannot believe their bodies, which they believed to be mere collections of chemicals, contain such uplifting, inspiring harmoniesthat they are musical... Recognizing the music latent in DNA suggests a new way of looking at evolution. Rather than a method of passing genes from one generation to another, the evolutionary process could be a way of passion the music along each generation "making music" for the next. Mutations would be ways of tinkering with the melody, of creating new, more complex tunes. "survival of the fittest' might mean "staying in key," "playing with the orchestra," or "maintaining the harmony." The natural world would not be "nature red in tooth and claw," it would be a gigantic symphony instead, composed of innumerable instruments...
