Extractions: Once upon a time (almost half a century ago, to be exact), there were two Soviet pianists who were, because of the reputations that preceded them, the subjects of intense curiosity in the United States. One was Sviatoslav Richter. The other was Emil Gilels. Eventually, both of them arrived in America. Until that time, pianophiles and record collectors had to content themselves with muffled Soviet recordings, and with tapes from live concerts. The latter, in particular, were passed from fan to fan with a mixture of secrecy and awe, as if the tapes were suppressed relics, icons from Russian Orthodox churches. This CD preserves a recital that Gilels gave in Florence, Italy on November 6, 1951. At that time, the pianist was in his mid-30s, and still four years away from his first appearance in the United States. It is easy to hear what all the excitement was about. Gilels was a pianist who inspired awe in his audiences. One is reminded of Shakespeare's
Extractions: [69'34"] full-price by Johann D'Souza It is a known fact that Beethoven's Second Piano Concerto was actually his first and that his First was his second. The reason being that he had made no less than four major changes to the former, delaying its trip to the publishers. As a result of this it was assigned as No.2. These concertos were very dear to Beethoven and about five years lapsed before they were actually published. While Beethoven did perform them in public, these majestic works could not be played by any other than himself. When he did send his second piano concerto to the printers, he confessed: "I do not pass it off as one of my best because I am keeping the better ones for myself until I myself make a journey, yet you need not be ashamed to print it". The first two piano concertos are so characteristically Mozartian that an amateur could easily believe them to be a couple of Mozart's late piano concertos. The opening bars of Beethoven's First Concerto sounds like Mozart's last C major Concerto K.503 (No.25, 1786); however it is not long before Beethoven's harmonic expansions bring to it its own distinct features. Beethoven was already striking it out as a prolific pianist - mind you, by the time of his death he had composed 32 Sonatas for the piano, 12 Sonatas for violin and piano, all topped off with the five piano concertos.
Extractions: Recorded various venues between 1935 and December 1977 by Johnathan Bushrod Emil Gilels was born in 1916, a stocky, red-haired virtuoso of an order that only Russia seems able to produce. He remained a Soviet citizen, but unlike his contemporary Richter, in whose shadow he inevitably found himself (and that is still the case today) his appearances outside of the Eastern Bloc do not seem to have been unduly rationed, and from the 1950s onwards Gilels managed to build on his stunning American debut and appear regularly in the West until his premature death in 1985. The authorities used Gilels as a cultural ambassador, and Western audiences lapped it up. Concerts sold out quickly, and before long his reputation was such that he was getting invitations to play with the Berlin and Vienna orchestras. The concert appearances were often accompanied by recording sessions, initially with the top American orchestras, then solo piano repertory in the 1970s with DG, and from 1957 until his final concerts in Britain, a long running partnership with the BBC, both 'live' and in the studio.
RONDO-Archiv: Vergleich, Liszt, H-Moll-Sonate Translate this page Die CD Rubinstein RCA/BMG 09026 62590 2 (1965). 12. Kein pianist diesesJahrhunderts ist der Sonate gerechter geworden als emil gilels. http://www.rondomagazin.de/klassik/cdgalerie/liszt.htm
Extractions: Inhalt CD-Galerie Archiv-Inhalt Titelseite/Inhalt A ls Ringen einer leidenschaftlichen Seele um das Ideal wurde Franz Liszts h-Moll-Sonate bezeichnet. Was immer man von solchen Deutungen halten mag, außer Frage steht, daß dieses Werk der Extreme mit seinen jähen Stimmungswechseln und seiner monumentalen Form von jedem Interpreten Außerordentliches fordert. Als Franz Liszt 1852 mit der Komposition seiner Klaviersonate in h-Moll begann, lagen seine Triumphe als "Pop-Star" der Pariser Romantik und die dazu geschaffenen Bravourwerke hinter ihm. Nun saß er als Hofkapellmeister in Weimar und rang mit dem Schatten Beethovens, indem er sein bedeutendstes Klavierwerk schlicht "Sonate" nannte und den geplanten bombastischen Schluß zugunsten eines akkordischen Verdämmerns verwarf. Wer indes eine Sonate klassischen Zuschnitts erwartet, dürfte verwirrt sein. Die h-Moll-Sonate, an deren Beginn drei Themen exponiert werden (eines davon, der berühmte "Hammerschlag", bohrt sich sofort ein), kann man entweder als einsätzige Sonatensatz-Fantasie oder auch als Verschmelzung vierer Sätze begreifen. Klassische Themenentwicklung gibt es nicht, sondern ein Gespinst von Verwandlungen dieser Motive, die ständig in anderen Masken daherkommen. Für Statistiker: 81 Prozent der Takte sollen Varianten dieser Keimzellen sein. Doch wer würde ein derart feuriges, grandioses Klavierwerk so strukturell hören?

They are all live concert performances, which is all to the good if you are not easily bothered by variable sound quality and audience contributions, by cough as well as applause. The recordings date from1965 (Schubert) to1984 (Scriabin). Those two are amongst the best for sound, and the Schubert is astonishing for its phrasing and articulation, one of the most involving and satisfying readings of a set of pieces which can, under less sensitive hands, have its longeurs. The Scriabin too can be heavy and sound repetitive, especially in the working out of its initial theme, but this is one of the most convincing interpretations I remember, and I found it gripping. Gilel's Mozart is a little dry and pedantic, his Beethoven sound - the 32 Variations especially exciting. The Schumann

Extractions: Outside Links Emil Gilels introduced us. It was in 1973 when Gilels came to town, offering a recital which included Petroushka and Les Images. He was in glorious form, commanding all the dynamic expression, the sheer aliveness in rhythm and ardor for which he was so rightly celebrated. At concert's close the audience jumped to its feet, yelling applause and clapping rhythmically, thus to honor him with one of his own country's traditions. Siloti, left, with student Rachmaninoff What followed is what amazed. His first encore consisted of a work I had never heard. It seemed to rise from the Well-Tempered Clavier, but wasn't the same at all. Some exquisite hand had redrawn it in a way I couldn't imagine. At this encore's end, the audience offered a greater tribute yet: silence, stillness, a vast sigh, and only then a rolling and tidal ovation. This small encore had stolen the show. Backstage afterward, I asked Gilels about it. "The music is out of print. He never made records. No one knows him now. This was Siloti."

Extractions: „E-Musik" - was für ein schreckliches Wort, „klassische Musik" - ebenfalls viel zu eng gedacht. Wie kommt jemand dazu einen solchen Konzertführer zu schreiben? Zum einen ist da natürlich die Liebe zur Musik, zum anderen sieht man ja den Bedarf an sich selbst - wer lernt nicht gerne neue Musik zum Geniessen kennen - und zu guter Letzt gehört immer auch ein wenig Sendungs- bzw. Mitteilungsbewußtsein dazu. Vorab, wenn sie meine Ausführungen kommentieren wollen oder einen Tip haben, schicken Sie mir eine E-Mail. Email an Stephan Am Anfang habe ich gedacht: Was für eine Mammutaufgabe? Sicher wäre es dies, wenn man alle Konzerte auch nur erfassen wollte. Andererseits stellt man fest, daß es soviele berühmte, viel gespielte Klavierkonzerte gar nicht gibt. Viele berühmte Komponisten sind zudem als Schöpfer von Klavierkonzerten gar nicht in Erscheinung getreten, wie Schubert, Wagner, Bruckner, Strauß oder Mahler, andere nur am Rande wie Richard Straus und Strawinsky. Selbst Klaviertitanen wie Chopin oder Liszt haben zwar unzählige Klavierwerke geschrieben, jedoch nur je zwei (echte) Konzerte. Auch wurde das Klavier erst relativ spät erfunden, also Fehlanzeige bei älteren Komponisten wie Bach, Scarlatti, Vivaldi oder Händel. Der Führer geht chronologisch vor, wodurch sich automatisch auch zumindest eine gewisse Stilklassifizierung ergibt. Wiener Klassik Der vielleicht erste wirklich bedeutende Komponist von Klavierkonzerten ist Joseph Haydn, und doch geht es ihm nicht viel anders als mit seinen Sinfonien: Wirklich bekannt oder gar populär sind sind nur wenige (z.B. die Sinfonie mit dem Paukenschlag), zu sehr stehen sie im Schatten von Mozart und Beethoven. Wenn letztere nicht so überragend wären, müßte man eigentlich sagen „zu unrecht": Einige Konzerte sind durchaus einfalltsreich, unterhaltsam, spannend, schön. Als Nicht-Haydn-Spezialist würde ich das 20. Klavierkonzert empfehlen, was genau diese Kriterien voll erfüllt. Gut ist z.B. die Aufnahme mit Emil Gilels und Rudolf Barschai.
