Extractions: Scott Dunn is an acclaimed conductor and concert pianist who, since his 1999 Carnegie Hall debut has appeared repeatedly in major venues and with major orchestras throughout the US and Europe . For his Carnegie Hall debut with Dennis Russell Davies and the American Composers Orchestra , Dunn played the world premiere of his own orchestration of Vernon Duke's "lost " Piano Concerto in C (written in 1923 for Arthur Rubinstein and orchestrated by Dunn in 1998). Dunn made a second Carnegie Hall solo appearance in 2001, again with Davies and the ACO, that time performing The Spellbound Concerto of Rosza. From 1999-2001 he served as associate music director to Maestro Lukas Foss for the Music Festival of the Hamptons . Dunn made his professional conducting debut in Eastern Europe in 2000 and in 2002, Maestro John Mauceri appointed Dunn assistant conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra in Los Angeles. Summer of 2003, Dunn served as music director for La Boheme, Weill's Kleine Mahagonny and a new work by Ricky Ian Gordon all produced in Tuscany by La Fabbrica. A one-time student of Byron Janis , Dunn, for eight years quit performing to complete medical school and residency in ophthalmology. A 1991 charity recital in LA ended his retirement and drew raves from the LA Times gifted indeed an abundance of technique and musicality. Clearly born to play the piano. Since then, Dunn has established a distinguished musical reputation and professional career.
Extractions: SCOTT DUNN Born in rural Iowa, Scott Dunn is an acclaimed concert pianist and conductor, who made his Carnegie Hall debut with Dennis Russell Davies and the American Composers Orchestra playing the world premiere of his own orchestration of Vernon Duke's lost Piano Concerto in C (a work written in 1923 for Arthur Rubinstein, but never performed, as the composer never completed the orchestration). Working from a two-piano score Dunn orchestrated the work in 1998 and premiered it at Carnegie Hall as part of the Gershwin Centenary concerts of the 1998-1999 concert season). Dunn made a second Carnegie Hall solo appearance in 2001, again with Davies and the ACO, that time performing The Spellbound Concerto of Rosza and has since appeared repeatedly in major venues and with major orchestras through out the US and Europe . Dunn made his professional conducting debut in Eastern Europe in 2000. From 1999-2001 he served as associate music director to Maestro Lukas Foss for the Music Festival of the Hamptons . For the 2002 season, Maestro John Mauceri appointed Dunn assistant conductor for the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra in Los Angeles . Summer of 2003, Dunn served as music director for La Boheme, Weill's Kleine Mahagonny and a new work by Ricky Ian Gordon all produced in Tuscany by La Fabbrica. A prize-winning champion of contemporary music, Dunn toured Europe and former states of the Soviet Union as a solo piano recitalist for the USIS introducing many of those locales to such classics of American piano literature as the Elliott Carter Piano Sonata and the Concord Sonata of Charles Ives.
Extractions: Last March, in these pages [this piece was published in the Los Angeles Times ], Times Music Critic Mark Swed took the highbrow view, in effect declaring the concerto too shallow and too flashy, nothing more than a "popular showpiece" with "sure-to-please gushy melodies." Earlier, Bernard Holland, chief classical music critic of the New York Times, rolled his eyes at Rachmaninoff's "weepy tunes," finally dismissing the Third Concerto as very nearly a musical con game "made to order for virtuosos on the make." And, of course, its popularity (which didn't start with Helfgott) only makes things worse. In 1993, Holland complained, fully five of the six pianists in the finals of the Van Cliburn competition all played the thing. He shuddered: "What a horrifying evening it was." We might ask, of course, whether five renditions of any concerto on a single night wouldn't have been equally hard to take. But there's a larger point to make.

Extractions: The best attribute of this recording must be the rhythmic drive of both the pianist and the orchestra. I find Janis and Horowitz both to possess this "living rhythm", probably as a result of their work together. The first movement is fresh and alive for me again. You might notice that the editorial suggests that many believe this to be the best recording of this work. Count me among those.
Extractions: There is little to say about this recording, becuase you will most likely love it or hate it- and regardless, you should own it if not for the individuality of style in an overdone work, but for the fact that this CD is a great deal- both a great Piano performance and a great Orchestral performance on the same disk! Pictures has been recorded buy almost everyone, so there are of course a MULTITUDE of good recordings, as well as a great many mediocre ones, Im sure. However this one is neither good, nor mediocre- it is GREAT: great in its uniqueness, it is never commonplace, and the sound of the orchestra is beautiful in that you can hear every instrument. Though this may be against some tastes, it is truly remarkable.

Extractions: When Falla started working on this composition he gave it the title "Nocturnes" which still indicates the atmosphere of the three sections. Most pianists and conductors play the work in a well structured manner and even sometimes with a certain straightforwardness. Curzon and Jorda however work together in a fine tuned atmospheric recording. Jorda is a conductor from the old school and he takes time for phrasing and subtle dynamic variations and so achieves a sense of sultry and mysteriousness, the air bearing heavy scents. It is a rendition which was hardly experienced before (and after, I must say). This performance shows once more all too clear how crucial the cooperation is of all the musicians involved. A true treasure that was well recorded with the piano well embedded in the orchestra. The liner notes of Westminster WL 5075 deal extensively with the structure and the nature of Beethoven's Op. 111 and Op. 2 No. 2. There are however no data about the pianist Kurt Appelbaum with whom Westminster started a complete cycle of Beethoven Sonatas. From six discs produced only the one containing Sonatas Nos. 9 and 24 was well received (WL 5090). Westminster apparently abandoned the project and substituted Appelbaum for Paul Badura-Skoda but Demotte says that the wisdom of this choice was to be questioned because Badura-Skoda was much too young.

Extractions: Philips As in the literary works of Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), Edward Elgar's music glorifies the power and values of Victorian and Edwardian England. Influenced by the post-romantic aesthetic, the compositions on this disc express with poignant sincerity the ineluctable decline of the British Empire. If the languid and nostalgic atmosphere of James Ivory's recent films ( Howards End Remains of the Day ) moved you, this is a disc for you.
