Extractions: Conducted by Jan Narveson Sunday, July 4: Pianist Janina Fialkowska has formed a happy habit of appearing at the KWCMS Music Room most summers, and her latest concert had a characteristically well-rounded program, except from the point of view of contemporary music aficionados. She began with the Bach Chorale, in the Busoni arrangement, Nun Komm der Heiden Heiland. One could discern a touch of Chopin in this fine, large-voiced treatment, in which the melody emerged so beautifully against its quietly moving bass, and finely etched trills mounting to an ecstatic climax. In Haydn's sonata #46, we got an interesting taste of that composer's penchant for harmonic experimentation, and for dramatic, sometimes rhetorical structures clearly anticipating Beethoven. Her superb articulation in rapid passages came in handy here, as did her feel for the special kind of expressiveness of the fine slow movement. The Beethoven Sonata Op 28, "Pastorale", is one of the few that do not well illustrate the Beethoven anticipated and influenced by Haydn as in the preceding, except for its out-of-the-way quirkiness. Its opening comfortable allegro and concluding rondo earned it the "Pastorale" label, and the main rondo section sounded more pastoral each time it returned. Very nice. After intermission, she turned to the sort of material in which she became famous, starting with Liszt's startling Variations on the name of BACH (which is Bb, A, C, and b natural, in case you're puzzled). Liszt even manages to work a modest fugue into the fireworks, which are suitably mind- boggling. This artist is also highly regarded for her Chopin, and the Sonata No. 3 in b is one of his great structures. The ultra-fleet scherzo requires a level of dexterity bordering on the surreal, and she has that and then some. Amazing. Another wonderful singing theme in the fine largo showed her wonderful intuitive feel for the proper phrasing and balance of these archetypically Chopinesque passages. But our favorite movement is the last one, in which there is a darkly gripping main figure that, in the right hands, simply sweeps one away. She's certainly got the right hands, too. It made for a stunning finish, and was greeted with appropriately tumultuous applause. We had two new encores this time. First, the Myra Hess rendering of Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, which left audible sighs at the end can this possibly be more perfectly phrased? And second, a delightful Spanish Caprice by Moskowski, in which the high-humidity environment hobbled the Steinway's repetition function, preventing her from making the rapid repeated note maximally effective. All the rest of it, though, was just that a bold, nicely put together showpiece, in which the few who can play in this class can leave the audience suitably dazzled. It was! This community is certainly fortunate to have the steadfast friendship of an artist like Fialkowska, and fortunate that she can still spare a day or two in a busy season for us. (Note that she will be returning with baritone Daniel Lichti on November 6 in Schubert's Schwanengesang cycle, which they are preparing at the Carmel Bach Festival as you read this. Viva Voci and KWCMS will co-sponsor that major event.) Forthcoming: Saturday: KWCMS presents its summer guitarist, as it were. This time it's Remi Boucher, classical guitarist from Quebec. First prizes in six major international competitions Alessandria, Segovia, Cuba, Belgium suggest that this is a very special new talent. He's preparing for another, one of the most prestigious competitions, making it our chance to hear him. Program includes Bach, Giuliani (Les Rossignol), Regondi, Beaser (contemporary American). Sunday: An event at the St. Jacobs Schoolhouse Theatre, 13 Albert Street (behind the Forge and Anvil). This concert (3:00) is called "baroque and blues", with flute, clarinet/saxophone and piano. At $8 it's worth a visit. 664-1134 for info. Wednesday, July 21: AT KWCMS Music Room, the very accomplished though technically amateur ensemble Capriccio, with Virginia Lyons, clarinet (and principal of the Community Orchestra), Hazel Boyle, oboe and English horn, Diane Mills, bassoon, and Ted Snyders, piano/bassoon, takes on Mozart's piano quartet in Eb, K. 493, as arranged by themselves (their performance of its g minor companion last year was astonishingly successful). Also Milhaud, Caprice (cl/pno); Nielsen, Fantasy Pieces (ob/pno); Poulenc, Trio (oboe, bsns); Beethoven, Duo #1 (cl/bsn); Tchaikovsky, Children's Pieces, Op. 39. Tickets $10 (st/sr $7). Tickets from UW, Provident, WordsWorth, Music Plus; reserve 886-1673. July 24: The Elora Festival opens with a concert at its Gambrel Barn in which "Carmen Meets the Phantom", music by the Elyea family (whose most distinguished member is the famed baritone, Gary). See below for the rest of Elora. July 24, 8:00, Theatre of the Arts: The UW Summer Choir concert, Stephanie Martin conducting. An ambitious program for a summer's eve brings us Mozart's Coronation Mass, Vivaldi's Gloria. $6/$4, at door, or CG, or Humanities Box Office. July 5: At 3:00 again, the St. Jacob's Scholhouse Theatre has a kids' event, "Musical theatre" called "Jane and Dave's Awesome Environmental Adventure". $5. July 28: Summer String Quartet. Sergei Nikonov, Oksana Dmitrik; Mark Podolsky; Chris Sharpe; well-known members of the K-W Symphony and K-W Chamber Orchestra, in three great works: Haydn, the "Rider", Op. 74, No. 3; Mozart, K. 421 in d; Prokofiev, No. 2 $15 (st/sr $11), student special $9 (at door only). August 1, 8:00 at KWCMS Music Room: A special concert is brewing up, in which several young musicians, mainly for the K-W Youth Orchestra (a string quartet's worth, plus Byron Dueck, UW student and pianist), hope to raise some money to support the needier among them for a week at the Kincardine Music Festival the following week, at which there is coaching by the likes of the Penderecki Quartet. Program not fully established, but it is expected that the quartet will play at least a few movements and maybe a whole quartet (Haydn, Op. 54, No. 2), plus solos by several. Phone 886-1673 for information, which is evolving. August 15: Penderecki Quartet. Robert Silverman was not able to come after all, so the Quartet will perform without soloists: Brahms, Quartet No. 2 in a minor. Mozart, K. 455 in Bb, "Hunt"; Randolph Peters, Smoked Lizard Lips (all!) $20 (st/sr $15), Student Special $12 (at-door only, space permitting, which it usually does, but didn't at the Fialkowska concert, say). Tickets from UW, Provident, WordsWorth, Music Plus; reserve 886-1673. Out-of-Town department, in order of starting dates: Phone numbers at which you can order up a brochure, which is essential for getting oriented, are listed in each case. The Boris Brott Festival in Hamilton is running again this year. Tonight there's an all-Schumann evening, with Valerie Tryon, piano, and the festival orchestra, presumably playing the Concerto and other things. There are way too many things to list in this one, on July 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 23, 25, 26, 28, 30, 31 (on which they do Beethoven's Ninth), Aug. 1, 6, and 7th. Call 416-522-7529 (or 522-SONG, if you like that sort of mnemonic) for information and tickets. The Parry Sound Festival, which is perhaps Canada's foremost in terms of out-and-out musical quality, runs from the 16th to August 8. This Friday is the opening, with a gala concert, artists including Martin Beaver, violin, Russell Braun, baritone, Mary Lou Fallis, soprano, Susan Hoeppner, flute, Shauna Rolston, cello, the St. Lawrence Quartet, and Robert Wilverman, piano. Wow! Lots more, at that kind of level, essentially daily. 705-746-2410 for information. It's about a three-hour drive to Parry Sound, so it's a trip, but worth it. The Sharon Festival summary: July 17: The Sharon Festival has a weekend of Murray Schafer, concerts at 4:00, 6:30, 8:30 (his oratorio, "Jonah"), 10:30 (it's Schafer's 60th birthday), 11:00. The works for $55 each. It's about 85 miles out to Sharon, so one makes a trip of it. People who've been there before should know that the concerts are no longer in the historic Sharon Temple but in Sharon-Hope United Church, just down the street. There are more concerts on July 24-25 and July 31-August 1. In order: July 24, at 4 p.m., a Scandinavian program, with music of Grieg and folk music, done by a children's chorus, Moshe Hammer, violin, Lawrence Cherny, oboe, and Arthur Ozolins, piano. Same day, 8:00: a Kurt Weill cabaret with the superlative Catherin Robbin, mezzo, and Jeffrey Lenz, baritone; John Greer piano. July 25, 3:00: a Shakespearian concert with music of the time plus music suggested by Shakespeare Beethoven's "Tempest" sonata, the Mendelssohn Sextet Op 110, and a work by Malcolm Forsyth. On the 31st, 4:00, the Hagood Hardy Quartet and others, including violinist Maritn Beaver and violist Steven Dann; the serious musicians will do Bach's Musical Offering, complete; in the other half, some new music written to the same tune ("Freddy's tune", they're calling it, after King Frederick, who may or may not have composed it, but was responsible for instigating Bach's composition). At 8:00, same day, Mary Lou Fallis does the "First Farewell Tour" of "Prima Donna II". If you haven't heard Ms. Fallis's operatic spoofs, you haven't quite entirely lived! And on August 1, there's Ragtime, with John Arpin, piano, and Bob Becker of Nexus fame. Interesting programs are standard procedure at Sharon, and the ticket prices are quite reasonable at $23 for most things. Phone (416) 478-8155, or, in Toronto, 940-4599 for ticket info and orders. Elora Festival: A nice brochure should be findable hereabouts concerning this Festival, now well-established, which runs from July 24 to August 8. Elora is less than a half-hour away, and the concerts take place in several location. Again, too much to list, but the excellent Elora Festival Singers will be prominent, along with such musicians as Colin Tileny, harpsichord, Anagnoson and Kinton, the duo-pianists, and The Gents, vocal sextet. Call 846-0331 for info.

Extractions: PADEREWSKI PIANO COMPETITION The Fourth International Paderewski Piano Competition at Bydgoszcz was held between the 3rd and 14th of November, 1998.

Extractions: These are the live recordings of my performances in the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs, held in Fort Worth, Texas (June 2000). This unusual event was a highlight of my year. It's for pianists who are over 35 and out of practice: no professionals allowed. Contestants play purely for the love of it. The pianists who come, about a hundred of them, are from dozens of countries and all walks of life: the chemist from Japan; the Brazilian ambassador; the blackjack dealer from Reno; the autoglass repairman, surgeon, lawyer, numismatist, masseur, assistant manager from Starbuck's, flight attendant... What a dazzling array of human interest. On stage, settling down at the gleaming Steinway concert grand, they glowed like 500-watt bulbs, and the audience was on the edge of their seats, hanging on every note. Music for the pure, unalloyed joy of it. Great stuff. I've always felt that part of the fun in being a true amateur comes from the mistakes, and the excitement in not knowing how well you might do. Professionalism (suggesting perfectionism) kills that spontaneity. Anyway, you might as well learn to love those pesky mistakes. Even Franz Liszt hit a few clams from time to time, but he didn't call them mistakes: he called them uninvited guests, and always tried to make them feel right at home. Or Rubinstein, who used to say: Well, sometimes I

Extractions: Vancouver Symphony Orchestra presents The Russian Romantics and Mozart Russian Romantics by Roxanne Davies The Russian Romantics launched the Tea and Trumpets series at The Orpheum. An acquaintance once asked me "Who goes to listen to the symphony in the afternoon?" If the numbers last Wednesday, October 7th, proved anything, quite a few people like to spend a Fall afternoon in the august splendor of The Orpheum taking in an afternoon of classical music. From the very first words he spoke, host Otto Lowy , well known as the host of CBC's radio program The Transcontinental , wove a colorful narrative to bring his appreciative audience under the spell of the .music of Tchaikovsky, Glinka, Khachaturian and Glazunov. Romanticism favors full expression of the emotions and free spontaneous action rather than restraint and order. And as we imagined drinking Russian tea in a glass, sipping through a cube of sugar, we listened to the pas de deux from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. Melodic and gentle, it is also an example of how folk songs make their way into various composers music. A beautiful waltz from Eugene Onegin also highlighted song-like melodies of the waltz, building to an exuberant crescendo, the violins fired up to match the dueling pistols in the sad tale of Onegin.

Extractions: The World's Largest Literary Cafe Posted by Dennis DeSantis on February 21, 19101 at 17:19:21: I attended the second concert in the Walker series at the 92nd Street Y in NYC on February 4, 2001. Of course I was looking forward to this program since when first announced it was to be Earl Wild and Kocsis(?) as pianists. The program was entitled Impressionistic and Literary Liszt. So, what happened? Natch, the two pianists bail and we get instead Janice Weber and Janina Fialkowska. Weber is ok as a pianist. No sizzle or anything special. Admittedly her program material was not the sizzle type. It was interesting to hear however the 1838 Harmonies. As I sat there editing out the new music I realized what an improvement Liszt had made to the music by his editing. In this case his 3rd thoughts were surely the best. What really told the tale was the section where the melody is single notes with the chordal arpeggios (marked accompagnamento quasi Arpa). I have always loved this section for its exquisite poetry. In the 1838 version it's overwtieen and not at all distinquished. I was also reminded of the famous negative review that Schumann had of these etudes when he heard them. He never heard the final set in which I think Liszt really improved all of them
