Extractions: "Challenge yourself..." was the advice from Harpur College National Alumni Law Advisory Council . Pell’s message was simple: Students should make the most of their undergraduate liberal arts education and do something to set themselves apart or otherwise distinguish themselves from all the other students with high grades and high LSAT scores, by doing things like taking hard courses, writing a thesis paper, doing a public interest internship, etc. "Labor over something you care about," Pell urged a group of 25 students at the noontime event. Visiting Alumni Series: Earlier in the day, Mr. Pell spoke to a class in "Law, Ethics and Business" taught by Professor Steven Scalet. He discussed the moral and ethical dilemmas posed by cases he has handled involving

Extractions: Playing before a sell-out audience Friday evening at the Union Theater, pianist Emanuel Ax presented a highly unusual program consisting entirely of sets of variations. Opening with Busoni's ultra-Romantic re-invention of the massive Chaconne from J. S. Bach's Partita in D Minor for solo violin, Ax displayed a wide interpretive range appropriate to the many moods of this remarkable work, from heroic grandeur to intimate introspection. The Bach-Busoni Chaconne embodies every pianistic challenge imaginable, including prodigious memory (there were a few slips), massive chordal groups, incredibly fleet passagework, intricate polyphonic textures, and complex dynamic staging. Ax managed all that with consummate skill and highly personal affection. This same scale of pianism was evident in the program's closing piece, the Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel, Op. 24
Extractions: Acclaimed for his poetic lyricism and brilliant technique, pianist Emanuel Ax is one of today's best known and most highly regarded musicians. He first captured public attention in 1974 when, aged 25, he won the first Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Competition in Tel Aviv. Five years later he took the coveted Avery Fisher Prize in New York. An RCA recording contract followed, and many of his recordings won top honours. In 1987 Ax became an exclusive Sony Classical artist, recordings on this label include the two Liszt Concertos paired with the Schönberg Concerto, two discs of solo Brahms, and Haydn Piano Sonatas (part of an ongoing Haydn cycle) for which he won a Grammy award. He has also recently recorded the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Bernard Haitink and both Chopin Piano Concertos with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and Sir Charles Mackerras. Emanuel Ax visits Europe regularly and during the 1998/1999 season his engagements include the London Philharmonic with Eschenbach, RSO Berlin with Sanderling and Royal Concertgebouw with Haitink. He will also perform under conductor David Zinman in London with the Philharmonia and Zurich with the Tonhalle Orchestra. Having premiered John Adams' new concerto with the Cleveland Orchestra in September 1997, he will perform it during 1998 with the Royal Concertgebouw, Gothenburg and London Symphony Orchestras. Recital appearances this season include Rotterdam, Prague, Milan, Florence, Dusseldorf and the Wigmore Hall, London.

Extractions: After completing scoring duties on his fantastic score to Great Expectations , Patrick Doyle was suddenly diagnosed with leukemia. This was obviously a huge shock to him and his fans, however he survived, even managing to compose his (as yet not fully released) score to the animated feature Quest for Camelot . To the huge relief of lovers of his fantastic music, he has recovered and has now returned to writing more of the splendid music that has put him at the top of the list of today's best young composers. Est Ouest is his third collaboration with French director Regis Wargnier and while I wouldn't necessarily put his two other efforts as Doyle's absolute best scores, they have none the less been his finest work outside of working with Kenneth Branagh. Est Ouest is a French film about an escape to the West from communist Russia. Of course, the great slavic composers such as Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Prokofiev and at least another half a dozen other greats, were invariably associated with a similar time in history (perhaps a little before I suppose) and so their music was often commissioned by the Tsar (or whoever, I'm no historian) to commorate Russia's greatness. Doyle, of course is far too good a composer to merely emulate these leading romantic composers, but their dynamic presence can be felt in the style that Doyle uses. Most notably in the sections which feature virtuoso pianist Emanuel Ax; Rachmaninov perhaps being the obvious model. Indeed, Rachmaninov's love of making the pianist charge up and down the piano is present in several key passages of the score.

Extractions: Ax explore their passion for early 20th century German composers and vocalists. The program, titled Night and Day, includes pieces by Franz Schubert such as Impromptu in G-flat Major, Op. 90, No. 3, Zur Guten Nacht and Der Godelfahrer; Der Abend and Intermezzi Nos. 1 and 2 from Six Pieces, Op. 118 by Johannes Brahms; Partita No. 1 in B-flat Major, BWV 825 by Johann Sebastian Bach; and rounds out with a variety of songs of renowned vocal ensemble The Comedian Harmonists, The Barber of Seville, Creole Love Call, Happy Days are Here Again and more. Emanuel Ax, deemed by Seattle Times one of the finest musicians to sit before a keyboard, first captured public attention in 1974 when, at age 25, he won the First Arthur Rubenstein International Piano Competition in Tel Aviv. He went on to win the Michaels Award of Young Concert Artists and the coveted Avery Fisher Prize.

Extractions: For 60 grand, it seems as if the 7-foot Steinway B that graces Orion Weiss' New York apartment should come equipped with a fold-out bed and a gold-plated cup holder. Yes, grand pianos are expensive, and not many 21-year-old pianists can buy one like this. Sitting at his new instrument for a recent phone interview, Weiss was full of gratitude, not least of all for the Avery Fisher career grant of $15,000 that he used toward a down payment on his piano.

Extractions: The fourth edition of our acclaimed Piano Series has it all: a recital by one of the most renowned pianists in the world today; a duo-piano program by two incandescent young artists who have rekindled an avid interest in this fascinating corner of the keyboard repertory; the San Diego recital debut of the young Ukrainian pianist whose SummerFest performance last August made an indelible impression; and last but certainly not least, an American piano legend whose concert appearances are eagerly awaited by both audiences and professional musicians around the globe. Emanuel Ax is surely one of the most highly regarded and in-demand pianists in the world. His performances of the great cornerstones of the solo keyboard repertory command the highest accolades, and his devotion to the towering classical masterworks is matched by a fervent dedication to performing new works by today's most important composers. Duo-pianists Valentina Lisitsa and Alexei Kuznetsoff are, quite simply, the hottest item on the current concert scene. Catapulted to international prominence by their blazing, competition-winning performance at the 1991 Dranoff Two-Piano competition in Miami, they have left audiences cheering for more in every city where they have played.
