Bees, now a WSU piano professor, was then a doctoral student at the University of Colorado. In the past few years Taylor has emerged as one of the nation’s foremost young musicians. Audiences and critics alike hail the intensity and artistry he brings to the works of masters ranging from Bach and Beethoven to Boulez and Bolcom. The Washington Post, for instance, deems Taylor "one of the most impressive young pianists on the horizon today." His program includes works by Ludwig van Beethoven, Olivier Messiaen and Robert Schumann. In recent seasons Taylor has performed in France, Korea, Spain, the Philippines, and the Caribbean. In the United States he has appeared with such orchestras as the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Detroit Symphony, St. Louis Symphony, Atlanta Symphony, Houston Symphony, Utah Symphony and Boston Pops, and has toured with the Polish Chamber Philharmonic.

Bach's Prelude and Fugue in E-flat Major for organ, S. 552 ("St. Anne's"). The virtuoso theme will continue after intermission, with "Quejas o la Maja y el Ruisenor" (The maiden and the nightingale) and "Los Requiebros" (Flattery) from "Goyescas," Enrique Granados' piano suite inspired by the paintings of Francisco Goya; three of pianist Earl Wild's "Virtuoso Etudes on Themes of George Gershwin," based on the well known Gershwin songs "Fascinatin' Rhythm," "Embraceable You" and "I Got Rhythm"; and Franz Liszt's brilliant Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6.

Extractions: By Julie Lane He's arguably Eastern Long Island's most charismatic and controversial political figure a man friend and foe alike speak of in many of the same terms used to describe former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. For the past several months, The Suffolk Times has been interviewing colleagues, former colleagues, appointees and village residents for a broad portrait of 52-year-old Mayor David Kapell. Beginning today and running for the next three weeks. David Kapell's story will be told by his friends, his foes and himself. (After initially declining the newspaper's requests for an interview. he recently sat down for a lengthy discussion of his background, achievements and goals, and to answer his critics.) Part I looks at his early years, including his life before Greenport, and the period leading up to his election as mayor in 1994. "I've worked with people that I've fought with tooth and nail and I'm prepared to do it again if it's for the good of the village," said Mayor Kapell, defining his approach to governing this one-mile-square municipality. New York City born and bred, he moved to the village in 1978 determined to live in a place where he could raise a family without the stresses and strains attendant to city living. Having summered in East Hampton in his youth, he had some familiarity with the village. He saw it as a place of opportunity where he could ply his skills as a handyman.

Eight pianists will divide the set, each performing four sonatas, between Oct. 5, 2001 and April 19, 2002 in Emory's Performing Arts Studio.

"The 32 pieces express the joy and suffering, sensuality and spirituality that make Beethoven one of the most enduring and popular composers of all time," says series organizer William Ransom, the Mary Emerson Professor of Music and artistic director of the Emory Chamber Music Society. Having eight different artists perform the cycle will provide different perspectives on the body of music, says Ransom. "This is one of the most exciting projects I have been involved in, and I am thrilled to be able to put it together for Atlanta."

Extractions: I have 10 wishes I wanted fulfilled before I died. One of them was to have William Kapell's genius reissued. At long last, I am a contented and happy woman. Kapell is the greatest pianist of our or any time. I get goosebumps when I hear his 2 Rachmanioffs and the Prokofiev in fact, anything he plays. There is no one like William Kapell. I suspect Franz Liszt could not have matched his brilliance at the keyboard Great Performance: This performance given by Kapell is very good. The recording of Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini is one of the best that I've heard so far. Although the keyboard work from Rachmaninoff's Second and Prokofiev's Third were handeled magnificintly, the mixing in some areas were horrible, taking greatly from the moment of the respective section. However, if you can handle that poor mixing in some areas, the CD is a really good purchase and well worth the money. Brilliant performances: Having heard and read a great deal about the Kapell Edition from BMG, I was very interested in this set from the "Great Pianists of the 20th Century" series. Kapell's performances of the Rachmaninoff 2nd Piano Cto and the Rhapsody on a theme by Paganini are justifiably legendary. The Prokofiev is excellent, too. I have found that I am listening to these performances much more than I normally would with a historical reissue. The remastered sound is quite good-full, warm mono from the early 50s. But it's...

Extractions: World History (home) Encyclopedia Index Localities Companies Surnames ... This Week in History William Kapell in the news William Kapell ) was an American Pianist The critic Harold Schonberg once considered Kapell the most promising American pianist of the postwar generation. Unfortunately, Kapell's brilliant career was cut short when he died in a plane crash at the age of thirty-one. His style was direct, clear, and energetic; his technique impeccable; and his repertoire eclectic and adventurous. A valuable nine-disc survey on RCA 68442 contains Kapell's legendary Chopin Mazurkas and Sonatas, and Rachmaninoff and Khatchaturian Concertos. It also has many lesser-known items, some of them first releases, including Shostakovich Preludes, Scarlatti Sonatas, and the Copland Piano Sonata. The Chopin Sonata no. 2 is profound, moody, and complex; the Mazurkas are brought to life with subtle accents. VAI 1027 contains broadcast recordings of the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto no. 3 and the Khatchaturian Piano Concerto. Arbiter 108 features part of the Beethoven Concerto no. 3 and the Shostakovich Concerto no. 1, and it includes Mussorgsky s Pictures at an Exhibition, which also appears in the RCA set, as well as on VAI 1048, the last from an Australian recital of 21 July 1953. Of these three, the version on Arbiter (from 1951) is the most colorful and varied, whereas the RCA (1953) is steadier and sustains a dreamlike mood, and the VAI is wild, daring, and free. All three are live recordings, but RCAs has by far the clearest sound. It is fascinating to hear three such different interpretations of this piece, all recognizably by the same person.
