Extractions: Mini disc (MD) (including all items announced in record catalogues but never released, and an appendix of LPs published under pseudonym) compiled by Ernst A. Lumpe Preface T he Italian pianist Sergio Fiorentino was born in Naples on December 22, 1927. His exceptional talent showed at an early age. Being granted a scholarship by the Ministery of Education in 1938, he studied at the Conservatorio "San Pietro a Majella" under Luigi Finizio and Paolo Denza, earning his diploma in 1946. In 1948 he attended a master class of Carlo Zecchi in Salzburg. By that time he had already begun his career as a solo and trio player in his native country, and had won several national and international piano competitions. A new start was made in the late fifties in England. He played frequently in Wigmore Hall and Royal Festival Hall in London and in other cities in Britain. The London Philharmonic, London Symphony and Philharmonia Orchestras accompanied him in performances of works by Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, de Falla and Gershwin. Most of his recordings were made during those years. V arious circumstances, among these a growing unease with the strenuous life of being an itinerant musician and teacher simultaneously, prompted him to withdraw again from an extensive concert life. He limited his rare appearances in public to his native country and started to give regular master classes, working also occasionally for Italian radio RAI.

A series of discs displayed remarkable qualities in a musician whose public profile was deliberately circumscribed he was Professor of Piano at the Naples Conservatoire from 1974-93, playing concerts only intermittently. Fiorentino had made his American debut in 1953 and his career, despite devastating injuries sustained in a 1954 plane crash, was to flourish in the 1960s, precisely the time he made these Concert Artist LPs. As Justin Thymes notes make clear the trajectory of the career meant that Fiorentino was much less well known than his status deserved and this continuing series has triumphantly succeeded in bringing his name to wide attention.

Extractions: Concert Artist/Fidelio Recordings Royston, Hertfordshire, SG8 7EG, England Featured Artists Sergio Fiorentino Born in Naples on December 22nd 1927 Sergio Fiorentino showed an early talent for the piano. He was barely 11 years of age when he was awarded a scholarship and entered the San Pietro a Majella Conservatoire in 1938 and was placed under the guidance of Luigi Finizio and Paolo Denza. He was awarded his diploma in 1946. He repaid those who had shown such confidence in his prodigious talent by winning first prizes in every European Piano Competition of note before he was barely twenty years old! During those years as a student he developed a significant and remarkable affinity for the music of Rachmaninov. In 1947 he played the composers third piano concerto for the first time and he retained a firm affection for the work throughout his life. In fact he chose to play the concerto in a series of orchestral concerts in Germany not many months before he died. Fiorentino was one of the few top-ranking pianists to play the complete works of the great Russian composer and maintain them in his constant performing repertoire. In 1987 he gave a series of recitals in which he played Rachmaninovs complete piano works in four programmes spread over a few days.

Extractions: Sergio Fiorentino Memorial Site II S E R G I O F I O R E N T I N O pianist musician Reactions to his concerts appearances Tuesday night in The Breakers Fiorentino opened the Newport Festival by making his first American appearance in 43 years. A courtly gentleman with an aureole of white hair, Fiorentino looks like a pianist in an old movie - or like photographs of the German pianist Wilhelm Kempff. Fiorentino, like Horowitz or Dubravka Tomsic, is undemonstrative at the keyboard; he doesn't have time for theater, because there is so much color and drama in the actual playing. The first half of the recital was "serious", the second devoted to entertainment - but these are false distinctions. Fiorentino's performance of the Schumann "Fantasy" was architecturally sound, but it was also full of darting, unexspected departures and a sense of play. And like the great pianists of the past, Fiorentino doesn't play transcriptions of waltzes to show off his virtuosity but to celebrate the waltz in all its intricate, teasing glory. The waltzes were the Liszt version of the Kermesse from Gounod's "Faust", Fiorentino's transcriptions of a Tchaikovsky waltz and a sequence of waltzes from "Der Rosenkavalier", Tausig's transcription of Strauss' "Man lebt nur einmal!" and the masterpiece fo the genre, Godowsky's "Symphonic Metamor- phoses on Themes from Die Fledermaus". Fiorentino neatly discriminated among the various national styles; and his iridescent scales, glissandi, arpeggios, chords, double notes, and octaves, his opalescent shifting harmonies, and his superbly secure and supple rhythmic sense wre not virtuoso tricks but ornaments devised to dramatize the curve of each dance in delirious movement.

Extractions: I recently reviewed the latest release in APRs Fiorentino series, a finely controlled and deeply poetic Liszt recital to which I would direct readers interested in this still contentious musician. Concert Artist/Fidelio Recordings, who recorded much of Fiorentino in the 1950s and 1960s and whose devotion to him was notable has now released a sheaf of his recordings, newly remastered, some live, several from newly discovered master tapes, many previously unissued, to increase yet further ones knowledge and experience of the young pianist he was twenty seven when he set down this set of the awesome Transcendental Etudes. In fact going through the catalogues I havent been able to discover an earlier complete set than this February 1955 traversal with the caveat that it was never issued at the time. The Etudes were recorded the day after his London debut, at Wigmore Hall, and the masters then sent to America where they were stored and subsequently believed to be lost. I believe that a selection of them, Nos 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 and 11 was announced for issue, on Concert Artist CALP 1062, and is so listed in a supplementary volume of The Worlds Encyclopaedia of Recorded Music. Many years later, in 1966 Fiorentino was recording for Concert Artist in Guildford and warmed up with some of the Etudes these performances were recorded and some patching has been done using these performances to cover the storage damage to the original tapes.

Extractions: Concert Artist/Fidelio Recordings Royston, Hertfordshire, SG8 7EG, England Composer of the Month THE GREATNESS OF LISZT T he greatness of Liszt as a pianist has never been challenged but 100 years and more after his death in 1886 his merits as a composer are not recognised, as they deserve by many. Some of his music is as flamboyant as the man who wrote it but there are other works that foreshadowed the future course of music and even behind the exhibitionism of the more flamboyant compositions there is a degree of sensitivity and genuinely original thinking that are often denied him. That this is so is partly Liszts own fault. He lived at the time of the development of the grand piano as we know it and Liszt used to the full its greatly increased scope and capacity for variety. But it is also partly due to performers many of whom tend to stress the virtuosity of the music at the expense of its other qualities. Walter Niemann, the German pianist, composer and musicologist, once said that to present Liszt as he deserves, a pianist must have greatness, improvisatory boldness, a flexible personality, tenderness and
Extractions: The legendary pianist Sergio Fiorentino died in 1998 having enjoyed a long-delayed resurgence in his international career. The overwhelming bulk of the extant recordings, many issued for the first time or unavailable for years, have been of the solo literature so it is especially valuable that Concert Artist/Fidelio Recordings are issuing a number of his concerto engagements which include, in addition to this Grieg/Chopin disc, some of the Beethoven Concertos. Documentation is good and remedial work on the tapes has been a success, even given acoustical and other problems; Fiorentino admirers simply wont hesitate to acquire these precious and rare examples of him in literature he so seldom performed. Others, more sceptical Fiorentino divides opinion as much as, say, Pollini should certainly listen, especially, to the Chopin.
