Extractions: Claudio Arrau, Pianist Claudio Arrau, renowned throughout the world as one of the supreme keyboard masters of the century, stands today at the summit of his long and legendary career, for the one artistic goal he has pursued for a lifetime: the total fusion of virtuosity and meaning. Where other famous pianists play the piano for excitement, power or display, Arrau plays to probe, to divine, to interpret. Says Arrau, "An interpreter must give his blood to the work interpreted." The famed late doyen of London music critics, Sir Neville Cardus of the Guardian, explained Arrau vividly: "Arrau is the complete pianist. He can revel in the keyboard for its own pianistic sake, representing to us the instrument's range and power, but he can also go beyond piano playing as we are led by his art to the secret chambers of the creative imagination." In a tribute by the Berlin Philharmonic, which bestowed the Hans von Bulow Medal on Arrau in 1980, on the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of his debut with that great orchestra, it was put even better: "When Arrau bends over the keyboard, it is as if Music and only Music itself, is flowing out of his entire body. There is not a nuance of feeling or sound that he has not mastered. His pianissimo is more eloquent, more mysterious than that of others, and his fortissimo has more depth of dimension and is more limitless." But a London Sunday Times interview some years back explained the Arrau mystique best of all: "One regards him as a sort of miracle; the piano is the most machinelike of instruments except the organ - all those rods, levers, little felt pads, wires, no intimate subtle human connection with it by breath, tongueing, or the string player's direct engagement with speaking vibrations. But Arrau makes it live, like God teaching Adam on Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel roof; liquid, mysterious, profound, alive."

Extractions: Arrau gilt als einer der bedeutendsten international anerkannten Konzertpianisten. Sein Repertoire war ungewöhnlich vielfältig, doch wurde er besonders als Interpret klassischer und romantischer Klavierwerke (vor allem derjenigen Beethovens) geschätzt. Ausgestattet mit einer virtuosen, aber niemals prahlerischen Technik, gestaltete sich sein Spiel etwa ab Mitte der 1930er Jahre zunehmend „anti-romantisch" im Sinne einer detailgetreuen Wiedergabe des Notentextes. Diese Haltung rief allerdings auch mehrere Kritiker (u.a. Joachim Kaiser) auf den Plan, die in seinem Spiel die persönliche Note vermißten. Zum Ende seiner Laufbahn gelangte Arrau dann wieder zu einem verinnerlichten und farbigeren Anschlag, der seiner Kunst die „Dimension einer bedeutungsschweren Ausdruckskunst" (zurück)gab (Ingo Harden). Sein pianistisches Lebenswerk wurde 1983 in einer „Arrau-Edition" dokumentiert.

Extractions: Johannes Brahms was fortunate: his creations outlived him and will outlive us. We, too, are lucky: though he couldn't see into the future, we can hear into the past. A 2-CD set brought out by the Austrian Brahms Society now affords us the opportunity to hear the sounds Brahms himself heard. The word special might best define this recording. CD 1 performed on Brahms-Flügel, Hammerklavier, Wilhelm Bachmann, Vienna, ca.1850. Intermezzo in A major Op.118 No.2 Andante teneramente Ballade Op.10 No.4 in B major Andante con moto Sarabande in A major "Tagebuchblätter eines Künstlers, vom jungen Kreisler veröffentlicht" Gavotte in A major (after Gluck) Walzer in A-flat major Op.39 No.15
Extractions: Piano Concerto No.1 in D minor An Inktroduction by Johann D'Souza Jump to Recommended Recordings Very few piano concertos begin with a marking like "Maestoso". One which comes to mind is Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto , which is marked "Moderato". I point this out because commonly there is normally an "Allegro" (fast) first, followed by a slow movement and then ending with a relatively fast movement. Brahms on the other hand opts for "Maestoso-poco piu moderato" (majestically, a "little more moderato" - whatever that means...) and an Adagio second movement followed by another relatively moderate third movement Rondo (Allegro non troppo-piu animato-Tempo I) It is the marking of "Maestoso" in the first movement that I feel Brahms must have carefully picked to express his feelings of grief. The interplay of the woodwind against a backdrop of syncopated strings with sudden, fortissimo tutti entries strengthen this impression at this tempo, compared to a faster pace. Brahms wrote two piano concertos: the first in D minor and the second in B-flat major. Both are rather lengthy, like a symphony - roughly in the region of 50 minutes apiece. His Second Concerto is equally interesting with a distinct solo passage in the third movement played by cello and accompanied by the piano, something seldom seen. Written originally as a sonata for two pianos it was then turned into a symphony which finally found itself becoming a concerto. It begins with a very strong tutti reminiscent like that of an orchestral tutti . Its premiere was met with mixed feelings because of its size and the intensity needed to pull it off. The work was dubbed a "symphony with piano obligato" by the critics at the first performance.

Extractions: This is a great book. (Note: It was previously available under the title "Conversations With Arrau.") It does not shoot over the heads of the average reader, but it doesn't dumb down its subject either. Horowitz spoke for hours upon hours with the great Claudio Arrau. What emerges is the portrait of a great man devoid of irony or pretense. The biography is fascinating and the sections on interpretation are interesting conversations Iwish more authors would have with more artists. Then there are sections where colleagues and friends talk about Arrau. Finally the author gives us a complete discography and discussion of selected recordings. A must-own for piano or Arrau fans.
