Extractions: Dallas - Principal Guest Conductor Claus Peter Flor and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra welcome young pianist Arcadi Volodos as the Texas Instruments Classical Concerts continue at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center. The concerts take place March 15 - 17, 2002. The program begins with Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 2 in g minor, a showcase for pianists, featuring Volodos. Called a phenomenon by The New York Times ("one was not prepared for the poetry, maturity and interpretive depth of the young Russian's playing"), Volodos is one of the most popular young pianists today. He has performed with orchestras and acclaimed conductors throughout the world, receiving rave reviews for his performances and recordings. His performace is certain to captivate audiences and please piano-lovers. The second half of the program features Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6, "Pathétique," possibly his greatest symphony. It is a work that is dark and emotional, with elements of melancholy and tragedy. Tchaikovsky died just after this work premiered, very possibly from suicide, and many interpret this as his essay of personal despair.

Many well-known classical composers were able pianists themselves; for example, Sergei Rachmaninov Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Franz Liszt Frederic Chopin , and Robert Schumann were all virtuoso pianists. Some pianists have special preferences as to which composer's music they play.

Extractions: Studiert hat Dmitri Bashkirow in Moskau, wie könnte es anders sein. Bei so renommierten Namen wie Anastasia Wirssaladse und noch fünf Jahre bei dem legendären Alexander Goldenweiser. 1955 gewann er in Paris den Marguerite Long Wettbewerb und startete damit, damals mit 24 Jahren, seine internationale Karriere. Das war sein einziger Wettbewerb. Und heute: Haben sich die Wettbewerbe seither verändert? "Ich hasse Wettbewerbe. Damals wollte die russische Regierung, dass ich nach diesem Wettbewerbsgewinn in Paris weitere Wettbewerbe spiele, den Tschaikowsky-Wettbewerb beispielsweise. Ich sagte: niemals. Einmal habe ich Glück gehabt. Das waren aber andere Zeiten." Und wie genau haben sich die Zeiten geändert? "Ach wissen Sie, heute sind die Studenten, die an Wettbewerben teilnehmen so verbissen. Sie kennen alle Jurymitglieder, kennen die Geschichte des Wettbewerbs und so weiter. Ich bin damals einfach hingefahren und dachte: entweder es klappt oder nicht." Noch später erinnerten sich andere Teilnehmer dieses Wettbewerbs, dass allein Bashkirow auch vor der Bekanntgabe der Preise vollkommen entspannt war.

Nach einem Ausflug in die leiseren Töne Schuberts hat er sich jetzt einen der Meilensteine der russischen Klavierliteratur vorgenommen: Tschaikowskys 1875 in Boston uraufgeführtes Klavierkonzert b-moll - als Live- Mitschnitt aus der Berliner Philharmonie. Ein Werk, das seinerzeit Opfer eines der berühmten Fehlurteile von Musikkritikern gewesen ist: Unspielbar und geschmacklos fand es der damalige Leiter des Moskauer Konservatoriums! Kaum zu glauben, wenn man den Erfolg des Werks in den Konzertsälen bedenkt. Als Zugaben gibt es ebenfalls Russisches: Préludes und weitere Stücke von Rachmaninow.

Extractions: This recording is SO significant because it marks the return to the USSR of Vladimir Horowitz after 50 years of estrangement. Yes, he came to New York in 1928 and now it's 1978 and he's back among listeners who really know and love his playing. You can hear one guy in the audience who's continually... more info Customer Rating: Horowitz was one of the greatest interpreters of the mazurkas and polonaises. He is at home with Chopin in these pieces. And on this record they are plays better than any I have heard. The Scherzo no. 1 is my favorite recording of this work, and I have owned and heard many. No one plays this piece...
Extractions: Want to hear something good? Fortunately, there's plenty of good, at the record shop. We'll do a sampling of recent releases, mainly winners. Begin with Sibelius. We're apt to know the Second or Fifth Symphony, and the little, haunting Valse triste, and maybe the violin concerto and we surely know that great nationalist blast, Finlandia. But we're less apt to know Sibelius's chamber music, which is why it's good to have the complete string quartets on what other label? Finlandia. This music is very much like Sibelius: pure, cool, strange, subtle, suddenly emotional, energetic. It evokes an entire climate, or state of mind. The quartets on these (two) discs are played by two groups, the Sibelius Academy Quartet and the New Helsinki Quartet. Each plays with sympathy, enthusiasm, and mastery. The last two quartets there are four are particularly fine, deserving of a place not only in the standard chamber-music repertory but in our conception of Sibelius. Stay up in the snows for a while, and also with chamber music. From Grieg, of course, there's the Peer Gynt score, plus that wild, unique Piano Concerto but there's also a cello sonata and a string quartet, presented on a disc from Virgin. The sonata, Grieg wrote for his brother, an amateur cellist. It is no amateur piece. If the Sibelius quartets are Sibelius-like, this sonata along with the string quartet is very Grieg-like. In the first movement, the Piano Concerto is practically quoted, verbatim. The piece sparkles lyrically, as with most Grieg, and it charms throughout. But it's more than charming: It is serious music, seriously and successfully played (by Truls Mork, cello, and Havard Gimse, piano).

Even phrasing has been re-examined; just the insertion of a tiny break or inhalation can change and even illuminate a passage we thought we knew and understood well. Not once does this sound mannered, however. This isn't difference for the sake of difference. Here are musicians who were not content with using other people's solutions. This wouldn't make much of a difference if Volodos's technique was deficient, but he is a galvanizing player who seems able to do just about anything. From thunderous octaves to gossamer filigree and tender cantabile playing, he is virtuosity defined. What other pianist comes to mind? None other than Vladimir Horowitz. Ultimately, however, I think Volodos will prove himself to be the more insightful of the two. This is a live recording with a somewhat "present" audience, and you'll cheer right along with them at the end of the third movement. The Horowitz comparison is even more apt when one hears the 22 minutes of Rachmaninov that follow Tchaikovsky. This is an well-chosen selection of the composer's solo piano works; simplicity, fantasy, virtuosity, romanticism, and even outrageous humor are given their moment. And speaking of humor, Volodos's own transcription of the

Extractions: Liszt, "Hungarian Rhapsody," No. 13 in A minor Arcadi Volodos, the 29-year-old Russian piano virtuoso hailed by critics for his combination of technical skill and eloquent musicality, will perform at Emory University on Wednesday, Oct. 17 as part of the Candler Concert Series. A critic with The Baltimore Sun called Volodos "the most phenomenal pianistic talent to hit the scene since Evgeny Kissin" following his March concert there. For tickets or information, call the Arts at Emory box office at 404-727-5050 or send e-mail to boxoffice@emory.edu. Despite beginning serious training on the piano relatively late at age 15, Volodos has quickly risen to the ranks of the top pianists in the world. He studied at the Moscow Conservatory with Galina Egiazarova, the Paris Conservatory with Jacques Rouvier, and in Madrid at the Escuela Superior de Musica Reina Sofia with Dimitri Bashkirov.
