5. William Kapell Biography Biography of classical pianist, william kapell sponsored by. william Kappell Biography http://www.4music.net/links/kapell.htm

sponsored by William Kappell Biography Notes by VIRGIL THOMPSON, Music Critic, New York Herald-Tribune When I first heard him at Ravinia in 1943, he was 20, catapulted to fame by the Khatchaturian Concerto he was playing. It was not much of a concerto, but no one else has played it like that, with beauty and sweep and fire. It served notice, that concerto, of what was to come. Perhaps it was only just that it came, in a flood of splendor, at that same Ravinia in the summer of 1947 when he played the Third Rachmaninoff Concerto. No one who heard it will forget that performance. With it Kapell moved into the company of Horowitz and Rachmaninoff himself, who alone had conquered the citadel of that strange concerto, which is cheap unless it is magnificent. He forged the full splendor of the score from his amazing equipment of poetry and fire, of impishness and blazing technique. He conjured its curious fragrance by coaxing from the piano its loveliest songs. From then on it was to me just a question of time when Kapell would be the foremost pianist. Season after season, that time came closer. He played crystalline Mozart, a Bach suite of unforgettable purity of tone. His Brahms rose from the deepest lyricism, yet knew the inimical and the brusque. It poured out in a torrent of fabulous performance last season in the most extraordinary performance I have known of the D Minor Concerto. I called that playing fabulous. The word stands.

William Kapell's Piano Benchmark By Tim Page Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, September 27, 1998; Page G01 America's first great pianist has finally been accorded the tribute he deserves. In a sumptuously produced, exhaustively documented, and altogether thrilling new set of nine compact discs, BMG Classics (formerly RCA Victor) has assembled virtually everything ever recorded for the company by William Kapell (1922-1953), who was a celebrated artist by the time he was in his twenties and who was killed in a freakish plane crash at the age of 31. It would not be entirely accurate to suggest that Kapell has been forgotten in the 45 years since his death: There have been a number of reissues (including some so-called "pirated" performances that are excluded from this set) and the University of Maryland named its biannual piano competition after him. Still, this release will come as a revelation for most listeners, for we are finally permitted a more or less complete access to Kapell's legacy, and it is nothing less than staggering.

October 11, 1998 William Kapell: A Larger, Truer Vision of a Passionate Modern By MICHAEL KIMMELMAN y the time William Kapell died in a plane crash in October 1953, at 31, he had already come to be recognized as the finest pianist America had produced. The popular pianists at the time were foreign-born: Horowitz, Rubinstein, Brailowsky, Hofmann. Then Kapell appeared, out of nowhere, it seemed, the son of a couple who owned a bookstore on Manhattan's Lexington Avenue. He was strong-willed, insecure, compulsive, combative, a neurotically driven New Yorker. In photographs he looks a little like Olivier in profile. As an artist he was stupefyingly gifted, and everyone knew it. By his mid-20s he had a major career, a contract with RCA Victor, dates with Ormandy, Stokowski, Reiner, Monteux and Steinberg. His recording of the Khachaturian's Concerto with Koussevitzky became a jukebox hit. Then he died, and as often happens, the fame faded. His recordings went out of print by 1960, and after that, only a few were occasionally available. Pianists still talked of him as an icon who had paved the way for the first generation of Americans to make a mark on the international scene Kapell was Van Cliburn's hero, for example, and many of those who heard Kapell in concert could, half a century later, still recall the experience as if it were yesterday but the public mostly forgot him.

" WILLIAM KAPELL EDITION " Music of Albeniz, Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Copland, Debussy, Khachaturian, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Mussorgsky, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, Scarlatti, Schubert, Schumann, Shostakovich, etc. (recorded 1944/1953) RCA Red Seal 68442 (9 CDs) (F) TT: 10 hours + ($127.99) This is a release of enormous interest: "The William Kapell Edition," a 9-CD set of most available recordings by the remarkable American pianist who died so young more than four decades ago. William Kapell, born in New York September 20, 1922, studied with Olga Samaroff, won the 1940 Philadelphia Orchestra Youth Contest while still at Juilliard, and the following year won both the Naumburg and Town Hall Endowment Awards. More honors followed, and in 1942 he played the Khachaturian Concerto with Efrem Kurtz and the New York Philharmonic. This music became identified with him and in 1946 he recorded it with Serge Koussevitzky and the Boston Symphony, a best-selling classical 78rpm album, one of his first under an exclusive contract with RCA. This was an enormous loss to the musical world, but at least we can remember him through his recordings. Some were issued years ago on CD, but now we have all of his RCA recordings as well as some from other sources, collected in one set; most have been unavailable for decades, and many are issued for the first time in any format. The set includes the three concertos he recorded for RCA (Beethoven Second, Khachaturian, Rachmaninoff Second), and the same composer's

(RCA Red Seal 68997) On October 28, 1941, the brilliant young American pianist William Kapell (1922-1953) gave his Town Hall debut recital at the age of 19 as winner of the Walter W. Naumburg Competition. Kapell attended Juilliard for three years (1940-43) as a graduate fellowship student of Olga Samaroff, continuing on to a meteoric but lamentably brief career. (Jerome Lowenthal of Juilliard's current faculty was one of Kapell's few private pupils.) Returning from an overseas concert tour to begin teaching at Juilliard, Kapell died October 29, 1953, when his DC-6 crashed in fog two minutes before it was to land in San Francisco. He was just 31. In 1998, RCA assembled all of Kapell's long-unavailable commercial recordings in a carefully remastered nine-CD set: the William Kapell Edition (RCA 68442). These discs have now been issued separately. Outstanding among them is the previously unreleased Frick Collection Recital , taped March 1, 1953, in New York City, which captures in excellent sound Kapell's dynamic Copland Piano Sonata, a poetic Chopin group (including the Polonaise-Fantaisie ), and a pointillistic, staccato Mussorgsky

Olymp im Überblick Kritiken der Woche Archiv-Inhalt Titelseite/Inhalt CD-Olymp (Folge 16) William-Kapell-Edition - Werke von Bach, Brahms, Chopin, Schubert u. a. W ahre Helden sterben früh: Er hätte der berühmteste Pianist Amerikas, ja der ganzen Welt werden können, wenn nicht ein Flugzeugabsturz ihn mit einunddreißig Jahren aus dem Leben gerissen hätte. Trotzdem ist Kapell in den Herzen derer, die ihn noch erleben durften oder das Glück hatten, einige seiner wenigen Schallplatten zu ergattern, jene künstlerische Ausnahmeerscheinung geblieben, als die ihn schon zu seinen Lebzeiten nicht wenige Klavierexperten wahrgenommen haben. Dank der mühevollen Recherche seiner New Yorker Fangemeinde und des noch nicht dahingegangenen Verantwortungsbewußtseins seines Labels RCA kann sich nun jeder Klavier-Interessierte, sechsundvierzig Jahre nach Kapells Tod, ein Bild von der Größe dieses Pianisten machen, und es wird sehr deutlich, daß die Legendenbildungen nicht immer nur der Faszination des Augenblicks zugeschrieben werden können. Nach dieser in jeder Beziehung vorbildlichen, mehr als zehn Stunden währenden Dokumentation seines klingenden Nachlasses wird man die Interpretationsgeschichte unseres Jahrhunderts teilweise umschreiben müssen. Was einen sofort für diesen ungemein modern wirkenden und energisch artikulierenden Pianisten einnimmt, ist die einzigartige Kombination aus Wachheit des Geistes, Leidenschaft des Herzens und einer pianistischen Bravour und Attacke, die nirgends eine Spur von Attitüde oder Selbstgefälligkeit verrät, sondern in stets radikaler Weise sich dem Geist einer Komposition verpflichtet fühlt. Fast alles, was Kapell sich vornahm, klang danach anders, als man es von anderen Pianisten im Ohr hatte: frischer, lebendiger, gestalthafter, sinnerfüllter.
