Extractions: Conductor Michael Lankester to Depart at Season's End Dateline: 08/08/99 The Hartford Symphony Orchestra has announced its concert line-up for the 1999-2000 season , which marks conductor Michael Lankester's final year at the orchestra's helm. Lankester has led the Hartford Symphony for 14 years. The season is comprised of four major concert series: The Masterworks Series This series is comprised of eight classical concerts featuring guest artists including mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne, violinist Sarah Chang, and pianist Yefim Bronfman.

Linton Music Series who has been described as the most awesome jazz pianist anywhere on Symphony Orchestrafor helping make possible the appearances of yefim bronfman, Gil Shaham http://www.wguc.org/Linton/linton_music_series.htm
Extractions: Six Concerts at the First Unitarian Church 536 Linton Street, Cincinnati, OH This concert features the talents of three musicians, all with ties to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Phillip Ruder was Concertmaster of the CSO for 21 years, and appeared as soloist with that orchestra more than 20 times. This is his 23rd consecutive season performing for the Linton audience. Both Richard Hawley and Michael Chertock are currently members of the CSO. Mr. Hawley replaced Richard Waller, Linton's Artistic Director, when he retired six years ago as principal clarinetist. The program includes Contrast, a work for violin, clarinet and piano, by Bela Bartok, and Brahms Quintet in G, Opus 111, for 2 violins, 2 violas and cello. Opus One - Ida Kavafian, violin; Steven Tenenbom, viola; Peter Wiley, cello; Anne-Marie McDermott, piano. Opus One is an inspired collaboration between four extraordinary instrumentalists, who are also close friends. Their combined resumes include membership in such prestigious chamber music groups as the Beaux Arts Trio, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, TASHI, the Guarneri Quartet, and the Orion String Quartet. Although each one of these incredibly talented musicians had performed on the Linton concert stage a number of times over the years, it was not until 1998 that the group premiered as Opus One. Six weeks after their opening at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. they appeared on the Linton Chamber Music Series. We are pleased to welcome Opus One back for our 23rd season of Music Making Among Friends.

Extractions: This is the seventh season of our Chamber Concert Series, presenting Israel's finest young and renowned classical artists. The aim of the series is to showcase Israel's rich and vibrant cultural heritage reflecting both its diverse immigrant and native population, as well as its unique experience as a struggling nation now on the road to peace. Israel's impressive cultural tradition, which has produced artistic giants such as Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zuckerman, Daniel Barenboim and Gil Shaham has paved the way for a new generation of Israeli talent. The young Israeli artists featured in the Chamber Concert series exemplify this new generation of world class musicians. Among our many Performers are: Maya Beiser, cello and Gila Goldstein, piano 12-7-95,96 Taiseer Elias, Oud; Uri Vardi, cello and Menachem Wiesenberg, piano 4-8-96,97 Orli Shanhan,. piano and Gil Shaham, violin Vadim Gluzman 5-19-1999 Rina Dokshinsky, piano and Tal Freiberg, bass-baritone 12-11-96,97 concert series Ori Friedman, piano 9-29-97
Extractions: During the nineteenth century, before the age of electronically produced sound, there was a strong tradition of music-making in the home. The piano became something of a home entertainment center: every household had or aspired to have one, and this, together with the sheer sociability of making music together, resulted in a thriving market for piano duets. The two-piano duet has a smaller repertoire than the one-piano duet, since it was rare to find two instruments in a single room except in concert halls, colleges of music and the homes of professional musicians and composers. Musically speaking, however, two pianos offer the most varied opportunities, because each performer has the complete range of the keyboard at his disposal, and this makes possible an element of virtuosity inhibited by the comparatively cramped position of two players at one keyboard. Today's program comprises three monuments from the rarely heard duo-piano repertoire: Variations on a Theme of Haydn and the Sonata in F Minor Op. 34bis
Extractions: Stephen Hough has emerged as a unique presence on the international concert scene. In his highly acclaimed recitals and with the worlds finest orchestras, he combines the imagination and pianistic color of the past with the scholarship of the present. He is the first classical musician to be awarded the $500,000 MacArthur Prize. Program:
Extractions: Yuri Temirkanov presides over the acclaimed orchestra, and Grammy Award-winning pianist Yefim Bronfman is concerto soloist. Bronfman and the orchestra appeared on the Jewell series in 1988 and 1993 respectively. The concerts program includes Kanchelis Ergo (2001), Prokofievs Concerto No. 2 in G minor and Tchaikovskys Symphony No. 4 in F minor. Temirkanov is recognized on every continent as one of the most talented conductors of his generation. He was named music director and principal conductor of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic in 1988, succeeding the legendary Evgeny Mravinsky. He also serves as music director of the Baltimore Symphony, principal guest conductor of the Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, and conductor laureate of Londons Royal Philharmonic. He is a regular guest conductor of the major orchestras of Europe and Asia, and enjoys an acclaimed reputation among the leading orchestras of the United States.

Extractions: Ono doesn't have Hindemith's Konzertmusik for String and Brass, Gatti's scheduled opening gambit, in his repertory, so he substituted Kodaly's ''Dances of Galanta,'' which made an effective pairing with Bartok's Second Piano Concerto. Slight of stature, elegant of demeanor, Ono is a big, vigorous conductor who led a performance that left some dots and crosses unattended to, but they really didn't matter all that much in the colorful, brilliant, and entertaining performance. William R. Hudgins provided a spicy clarinet solo.
The Great Prokofievans: Pianists instrument. He was a formidable pianist in his own right, premieringmost of his works in concert halls around the world. Fortunately http://www.prokofiev.org/prokofievans/pianists.html
Extractions: he piano was by far Prokofiev's favorite instrument. He was a formidable pianist in his own right, premiering most of his works in concert halls around the world. Fortunately, many of the greatest pianists of the 20th century were drawn to Prokofiev's compositions as well. Two Russian pianists who knew Prokofiev and premiered his later piano sonatas stand tallest in the pantheon of great interpreters of Prokofiev's piano works Emil Gilels and Sviatoslav Richter. As with the great conductors of today who specialize in Prokofiev's works, there are a number of young pianists who rival the greats of yesterday. Several pianists have recently completed recording the entire Prokofiev piano cycle including Boris Berman (on Chandos), Frederic Chiu (on Harmonia Mundi), and Oleg Marshev (on Danacord). Also not to be missed is Barbara Nissman , who was the first to record the complete piano sonatas to commemorate Prokoifev's 100th birthday in 1991 her sonata cycle remains one of the towering achievements of the last twenty years for Prokofiev lovers.

Extractions: Seattle Times music critic E-mail this article Print this article Search web archive But Bronfman is considerably more than just a big-moment pianist, as he made clear once again at Benaroya Hall on Thursday evening. With guest conductor Carlos Kalmar on the podium, Bronfman undertook one of the greatest of the great romantic concertos: Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 2, four movements' worth of richly satisfying virtuoso writing for keyboard and orchestra. And yes, Bronfman did command that big piano sound and the incredible technical alacrity for which he is famous. His titanic technique, however, was only part of the story. He also produced phrases of silky delicacy and surprising restraint, as in portions of the second movement, and carved out phrases of great melodic beauty. (So did the orchestra's principal cellist Ray Davis, in his very nice extended solo.) Concert review
