Extractions: (46 Min., aufgenommen 1941/42) Der aus Brescia stammende Pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (1920-1995) war ein seltsamer Kauz. Zeitlebens schien er um die Kunst und sein Künstlertum zu ringen. Als "Phantom" geisterte er durch den Musikbetrieb und ebenso als ihr großer Schrecken - aus der Sicht der Veranstalter. Ständig sagte er Konzerttermine ab. Wenn er aber dann wieder erschien, überraschte, ja überwältigte er alle. Jahrzehntelang konnte er an einem Stück arbeiten, besessen an ihm feilen, der reinen Schönheit und Vollendung willen. Dieser höchste Anspruch an sich selbst brachte es mit sich, dass es nur wenige Aufnahmen von ihm gibt. Diese mit Klavierwerken von Galuppi, Chopin, Debussy, Vivaldi, Beethoven, Scarlatti und vielen anderen entstand in den Kriegsjahren 1941 und 1942. Benedetti Michelangeli ist gerade Anfang zwanzig, hat unlängst einen Klavierwettbewerb gewonnen und steht am Beginn einer spektakulären Karriere. Nichts selbstgefällig Dahinsäuselndes schleicht sich bei Chopin (Scherzo Nr. 2 op. 31 und Mazurka Nr. 47 op. 68) ein, keine selbstherrliche Pianistengrandezza trumpft hier auf. Trotz miserabler Tonqualität hört man Michelangelis durchsichtiges, perfektes Spiel - fantastische Gitarrenimitationen etwa in dem Stück aus den "Rumores de la caleta " von Isaac Albéniz. Faszinierend die mikroskopische Akribie, die Michelangeli bei der Einstudierung jedes Werkes an den Tag legt, ergreifend die unbewegte, ja unirdische Schönheit seines Spiels. Man glaubt, verharren zu müssen und wird doch weiter- und weitergeführt.

Extractions: Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (1920-1995) was, paradoxically, one of the most celebrated and one of the most reclusive pianists of his time. His fabled technique and peerless musicianship earned him attention early on as the undisputed winner of the 1939 Geneva International Music Competition. One of the jury members was Alfred Cortot, who announced "A new Liszt is born!". To the frustration of his public, Michelangeli’s studio recordings were few and his concert appearances sporadic: his brief recital for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (taped in the Toronto studios, 1970) was appropriately titled "A Most Rare Event". It features a sterling performance of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 3 in C Major, Op. 2, No. 3.

Extractions: from Storia del pianoforte, by Piero Rattalino, Il Saggiatore, Milano, 1988 (pp. 328-329) [...] Unlike Arrau, who fixes the range of dynamics within a homogeneous timbric field, Benedetti Michelangeli has at his disposeal, like Gieseking, like Horowitz, like Richter, a quite rich timbric palette, which he does not employ for purposes of stylistic definition, but to build the structure through the timbre. One may even compare Benedetti Michelangeli's style to Messiaen's postulates, such is his exactness in the choice of the timbre, fixed by him not only as a colour which orientates the listener's perception, but as a value per se. In that sense are to be intended the legendary cares which Benedetti Michelangeli poses in preparing his instrument, which gave rise to so many anectodes . We had put forward the hypothetical idea that the piano prepared by Cage could mime in a negative sense the preparations made by some performers, and we have haply also jokingly said that eventually the employment of sophisticated devices in Stockhausen's

Extractions: Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli was born at Orzinuovi, a small town near Brescia, Italy, on January 5, 1920. His father, Giuseppe Benedetti Michelangeli, formerly a lawyer, used to play piano, and gave his son Arturo his first music lessons when the child was but three years old. His mother taught him to read and write. His love for his father was as deep as discrete. During a period when he was ill, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, together with other fellow students at the Musical Institute in Brescia, used to travel to a distant restaurant by bicycle where they entertained the clientele in order to make some money and help Benedetti Michelangeli's father. When his parents found out that, his father scolded him angrily, repeating that those were not things to do, and that Arturo had to think only about studying. He was around 14. In Brescia, at the Musical Institute, he also met his future wife, Giuliana Guidetti. Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli began to receive regular music lessons at the age of four, at the Musical Institute ``Venturi'' in Brescia, with Paolo Chimeri. At the age of five, he took part in the annual concert together with other pupils from the school. He wore a short skirt, the way children used to do by that time. When he appeared on the stage, he stood up motionless in front of the piano stool for a few seconds, then, without saying a word, he went back behind the scenes. Everybody thought he was afraid, and they pushed him back on the stage. But young Arturo retired a second, then a third more time, without speaking, until someone eventually understood that he just needed some help to raise up on the stool, still too high for him. Then, he began to play quietly, perfectly at his own ease.

Extractions: Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli was born in Brescia, Italy, in 1920. He began music lesson at age three. As a boy he played violin and organ. He studied piano at Milan Conservatoire with Giuseppe Anfossi, graduating in 1933 with honors. Between 1933 and 1939, he studied medicine. In 1939 he won the Geneva International Piano Competition and became a professor of piano (1939-1941) at Martini Conservatorie in Bologna.

His perfection was such that some (including Rubinstein) found his playing to be somewhat cold. In fact, I once held this opinion too. I first heard his acclaimed Debussy Preludes on Deutsche Grammophon but did not have any strong reaction either for or against his style. I actually preferred Paul Jacobs's excellent recording on Nonesuch to Michelangeli's. I next heard him in more French repertoire, this time Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit. The technical assurance was obvious enough, but I felt the lack of excitement that is present in risky performances. He was simply too good. The CD containing the Ravel selection sat on my shelf unlistened to for a while, until one day I heard a sample on the internet of Michelangeli's playing of a simple posthumous Chopin waltz. It was a simple piece, but I was amazed at his dynamic control and the elegance he brought out in a subtle way. I've been hooked to him ever since then. Cortot declared the young Michelangeli "the next Liszt" at a piano competition which the older musician judged, but despite the use of some antedated piano practices, e.g., slightly asynchronous hands, Michelangeli was an absolute patrician, later mirrored in compatriot and student Maurizio Pollini. As Michelangeli aged, his public appearances became scarcer and in higher demand. An intensely private man, one of his few known passions was fast cars (particularly red Ferraris). His repertoire was rather limited. It primarily consisted of Beethoven, Chopin, and Debussy, among various other composers.

Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli's life and work can raise at least the semblance of that possibility in its fully functioning form, with practical applications, at the exp a nse of resources available for general public.
