Extractions: His face fills the screen. You notice the shaving cut on his cheek, the skin pigmentation dots that come with old age. Listening intently, sometimes he glances down; just as often hes looking up, much as a man might watching the circling of gulls over the seas edge. When the music moves into more adventurous harmonies, an expression almost of concern crosses Kempffs face. The medium, of course, is the DVD: a carrier of increasing, repeatable delight to the pianophile as archive material comes into the public domain. (Who could forget, for instance, the historic clip of Horowitzs hands, uniquely curved, flickering over the keys part of Warners Art of Piano?) Beethoven was central to his art: the Hammerklavier won him the Mendelssohn Prize as a student of Heinrich Barth (also Artur Rubinsteins teacher); he played the Fourth Concerto under Nikisch when making his Berlin Philharmonic debut in 1918; the Ecossaise, WoO86, and C major Bagatelle, Op.33 No.5, were his first recordings, made in Berlin in 1920, where apparently he mutters Donnerwetter! after a finger-slip in Op.33. He began to record the sonatas on shellac from 1929, later completing two LP cycles, mono and stereo, for Deutsche Grammophon, but his 78rpm sets lacked Nos.3, 11, 13, 15, 17 and 28. The instruments were by Bechstein and Grotrian-Steinweg.

Come contattare / How to reach Paola Alessandra Tròili Paola Alessandra Tròili nasce a Bologna da una famiglia dellalta borghesia e viene educata allarte dalla più tenera età. La madre pittrice, il padre professore universitario, autore di importanti saggi nel campo scientifico sono stati attenti a non disperderne le doti. Inizia quindi fin da piccola a sentire lesigenza di esprimersi in arte, e pur essendole state riconosciute poliedriche tendenze (canto recitazione), si dedica appassionatamente al pianoforte, tanto da esibirsi fin da piccola e a tenere il suo primo importante concerto alletà di 10 anni. Si iscrive quindi al Conservatorio G.B. Martini di Bologna, ma in seguito ad una audizione con il M° Bruno Canino, viene dallo stesso chiamata a proseguire gli studi a Milano nella sua classe al Conservatorio superiore di musica G. Verdi dove si diploma brillantemente. Come effettiva segue seminari e corsi di perfezionamento con Paul Badura-Skoda, Jörg Demus e Michele Campanella. Attualmente, studia a Milano composizione con Bruno Bettinelli ed a Monaco di Baviera frequenta la Musikhoshule con il pianista Gherhard Oppitz.
Murray McLachlan - Concert Pianist it is impossible to mention every performer, as a Scottish pianist I am Of the recorded cycles available I deeply admire wilhelm kempff s first set from the http://www.murraymclachlan.com/articles/beethoven_piano_sonatas.htm
Extractions: To an aspiring performer, the Sonatas are an almost overwhelming group of masterpieces that present awesome interpretive, technical and spiritual challenges. There is a long history of performance, though surprisingly public concertising of the works only really became firmly established with Clara Schumann, Hans von Bulow and Franz Liszt. I have already mentioned that the Sonatas present enormous challenges. It would surely take more than a lifetime to begin to unravel all of their mysteries. It was Artur Schanabel who believed a masterpiece to be far greater than any one performance or interpretation, and I have found this to be particularly true with regard to Beethoven. In approaching the Sonatas, I have found it most stimulating and helpful to try and imagine the music as either being written for full orchestra or for string quartet. This has given me aid with tonal colour (e.g. the opening notes of op. 81a re-create the timbre of horns) as well as with transforming apparently dull and sequential passagework into great music. What a difference it makes when ones inner ear hears the sequences of the "Appasionata's" development section (first movement) as a dramatic battle in which various solo instruments take up the theme then pass it on! Mere 'padding' becomes intense drama and struggle of monumental proportions.

Extractions: Kempff was a pianist gifted with a towering (yet humane) artistic stature, and it is a surprise that there are relatively few CDs on the market right now that are devoted exclusively to his pianism. (Three two-disc sets in the Great Pianists of the 20th Century The first of these two CDs contains the concertos. The Mozart comes from the collection of Deutsche Rundfunkarchiv, and is a broadcast performance from April 3, 1939. A German announcer gets things off to a jarring start (jarring, at least, if you were expecting Mozart's gracious C-major opening instead!), but he soon gets out of the way and allows Kempff to make his quiet magic. The Leipzig orchestra is functional rather than distinguished, but Kempff sounds at peace with the music, and as a result, so are we. The "Emperor" was recorded in 1936 for Deutsche Grammophon. This too is a "live" performance, as the applause at the end indicates. This is an "Emperor" with punch, although it is the Berlin Philharmonic that strikes the more aggressive note. Kempff is most distinctive when he is most intimate; he was a master of the mezzo piano Raymond Tuttle Search Reviews Back to the Review Index

Extractions: PianoForte "Sie spielen nicht wie ein Pianist, sondern wie ein Mensch." Diejenigen, die dem Fetisch der technischen Perfektion huldigen, kamen bei Kempffs Konzerten selten auf ihre Kosten. Es gab Abende, da ging ihm alles daneben, was nur daneben gehen konnte, aber der durchdringenden gestalterischen Idee tat dies keinen Abbruch. Kempff vertraute der Eingebung des Augenblicks: Alte Testament der Pianisten , Bachs Wohltemperiertes Klavier, auswendig in alle Tonarten zu transponieren. Waldszenen Masse (selbst die eines Sinfonieorchesters) war ihm immer ein Greuel. Er hat den Menschen Musik gegeben, aber ihrem Leben hat er sich entzogen. Nicht einmal die politischen Unbilden seines Jahrhunderts konnten ihm etwas anhaben. Vielfach kolportiert ist sein Ausspruch: "Und wenn die Nazis noch so viele Hakenkreuze vor die Waldstein-Sonate malen – spielen können sie sie doch nicht!"

Extractions: One of the highlights of Angel Hewitts recent Bach transcription album was to rediscover those of Wilhelm Kempff. Hewitt, maybe the greatest Bach pianist of our day, paid eloquent tribute to a man who had begun as an organist and was, as befits a musician of his generation, a composer-pianist of the kind now almost extinct. To encounter his transcriptions was to be reminded of his greatness and to listen to this disc is to encounter it once again.

Bach: Arrangements by wilhelm kempff, and a number of arrangements by English composers that were included in A Bach Book for Harriet Cohen (a collection compiled for the pianist http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/details/67309.asp
Extractions: This delightful disc offers a selection from the wealth of piano transcriptions of Bach's music. The Bach revival that gathered momentum during the nineteenth century created a climate for many composer-pianists to interpret his works through their own piano transcriptions, whether of chorale preludes, organ works or other instrumental music. Much of Bach's music was made domestically available via such arrangements (and the tradition continued well into the twentieth century, even after Bach originals were well known). Indeed, the practice of such transcriptions was widely used by Bach himself, who freely adapted his own and others' music for different instrumental settings. One of today's finest Bach pianists, Angela Hewitt concentrates primarily on those arrangements of Bach that keep pianistic elaboration and virtuosity in proportion: whatever instrument his music is played on, Bach should still sound like Bach. Eugen d'Albert's magnificent transcription of the C minor Passacaglia and Fugue for organ, BWV582, is included, as are five beautiful transcriptions by Wilhelm Kempff, and a number of arrangements by English composers that were included in A Bach Book for Harriet Cohen (a collection compiled for the pianist Harriet Cohen, who knew many English composers of the early twentieth century). Angela Hewitt also includes three transcriptions of her own. A fascinating companion to Angela Hewitt's acclaimed Bach recordings for Hyperion, this ravishing disc will appeal to lovers of Bach as much as connoisseurs of the piano.
