Extractions: In the Symphonies Nos. 29 and 38 (the "Prague"), the playing moved along, but inconsistently. Balances were not maintainedthis was one night in which the treble dominated and the bass often faded out; the Bowl's amplification system proved unreliable much of the time. Oundjian, who used to be an admired chamber musician, is still finding his way as a conductor.

Extractions: Sonata No. 2, a dense work requiring first-rate piano capacities, knowledge of the science of music, of the arrangement of sound levels, a superior idea of form and a great ability to cover the distance. On reading Dante, by Franz Liszt. And embarking on this major piece in front of Jorge Bolet was not without danger. He was thoroughly taken with her. We shall long remember what he had to say to us that very evening, without any prompting: "You were there this afternoon, I saw you in the room. I want you to tell your readers that I have not met such an extraordinary talent as this for a long time". Alain Lompech

Extractions: Isaac Stern When Isaac Stern passed away on September 22, 2001, only eleven days after the 9/11 tragedies, it seemed a cruel blow to a world so much in need of this great musican's unique humanity. A 2-CD tribute to Stern has been released by his long-time, (and only), label, Sony Classics. It is a compilation of recordings, some issued for the first time, ranging from Bach solo violin works to a Schubert Trio and more Mozart Violin Sonatas with pianist Yefim Bronfman. Also included is the first release of a performance of the Brahms String Quintet No.2 with an all-star cast: Cho-Liang Lin, Yo-Yo Ma, Jaime Laredo, and Michael Tree. Issac Stern once told a group of young musicians, "You should get up every morning and thank God, thank the Lord, thank whoever you want, for making (you) a musician." Well, thanks be to "whomever" for making Issac Stern, period. Bach: Keyboard Concertos Nos. 3,5,6,7
Yamaha Artist Spotlight: Helene Grimaud Frenchborn classical pianist Hélène grimaud, a US resident since 1991, made herfirst recording at the age of 15 and won the French equivalent of a Grammy http://www.giles.com/yamaha1/pressreleases/Piano/grimaud.htm
Extractions: World-Class Pianist Devoted to Her Music and Her Wolves Grimaud, who has also modeled in Vogue for good measure, says she enjoys the Yamaha pianos she often plays in concert for their "warmth of sound, range of color and fine sense of weight." At home, she practices on a Yamaha upright that’s older than she is. Her playing has been called "stormy, passionate and intuitive," and she regularly attracts overflow crowds. She studied animal behavior for two years in order to become certified to welcome two adult wolves Living with wolves is more a question of respect than affection, she explains, and it requires her to observe a complex system of rules. She feels comfortable feeding them with her priceless fingers, for example, but would never turn her back on them. "I’m certain that cohabitation is possible between wolves and man," she told Paris Match in 1998. "In the end, being around my wolves is an extension of my artistic life. It’s an original enrichment that resounds, I’m sure, in the way I interpret the works I choose."
Extractions: e-mail:winston-barclay@uiowa.edu Release: Immediate NOTE TO BROADCASTERS: Grimaud is pronounced "Gree-moh" Pianist Grimaud plays Beethoven and Brahms in April 6 Hancher concert IOWA CITY, Iowa French pianist Helene Grimaud will play works by Brahms and Beethoven in a concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 6, in Hancher Auditorium on the University of Iowa campus. The concert is part of Hancher's 1996-97 IES Industries Piano Series. The program features three sets of compositions by Brahms the Fantasies, op. 116; the Intermezzi, op. 117; and the Six Pieces, op. 118. Grimaud will also perform Beethoven's Sonata No. 31 in A-flat major, op. 110. Grimaud commanded the attention of the music world at the age of 15, when her recording of the treacherous Rachmaninoff second piano concerto was released. Critics were nearly dumbstruck by the teenager's masterful grasp of a piece with such daunting technical and musical demands. A second recording of music by Liszt, Chopin and Schumann quickly followed, confirming that a major new talent was on the scene. The critic of England's Gramophone magazine concluded, "It's a long time since I've encountered a young artist with so intuitive an understanding of what music is all about. . . . She just seems to know where every phrase is going, and why." The American Record Guide hailed her as "one of the most striking pianistic personalities to appear on recordings in recent years. . . . burning with passion and poetry allied to effortless, rock-solid pianism."

Extractions: e-mail: peter-alexander@uiowa.edu Release: Immediate UI CAMPUS NOTES IOWA CENTER FOR THE ARTS PERSPECTIVES APRIL 2 Guenter Zoeller, chair of the University of Iowa department of philosophy, will deliver a slide lecture on the work of artist Joseph Beuys as part of the weekly Perspectives series at 12:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 2, at the UI Museum of Art. The lecture, "Turning Media into Monuments," is free and open to the public. Beuys is widely regarded as one of the most important German artists since World War II. His work, which includes sculptures, drawings and installations, is known for accumulating everyday objects into very large units that Beuys called "blocks." By using unorthodox materials and by creating works that were difficult to fit into any conventional category, Beuys hoped to extend the frontiers of art. His determination to eliminate the various segregations he saw in the art world is exemplified in a phrase he coined, "Every human being an artist." Zoeller will discuss the aesthetics behind Beuys' monumental style, with a particular emphasis on the artist's interest in the media of communication.
Extractions: Concert Review Grimaud satisfies, surprises By Jimmy So Special to The Seattle Times Concert review Helene Grimaud, piano, Wednesday, Meany Theater. Helene Grimaud's recital in Meany Theater on Wednesday night was an exercise in delivering beyond expectations. The first and most obvious sign was that the French pianist played nothing by French composers. In fact, it was a tour de force of European works - Austrian, German, Italian, Russian - everything but French. The first half offered "Chaconne from Partita in D Minor" by Bach as arranged by Ferruccio Busoni (1866-1924) and Rachmaninoff's "Variations on a Theme of Corelli." They are both technically Herculean and incredibly risky pieces, especially played one after another. Furthermore, Grimaud only learned the Rachmaninoff about two weeks ago. The Meany Theater played host to her public debut of the piece. Grimaud dived in fists first with no reserve, giving a ferociously physical rendition of the Busoni and the Rachmaninoff. The superhumanly fast passages were executed brilliantly, the trills were perfect - an improvement from her recordings of late Beethoven sonatas. The chords were huge, the runs were many. It was an impressive display of fortissimo virtuosity. Grimaud walked on and off stage like a model, and one could hardly believe that the gentle and beautiful pianist could produce such a monstrous sound. But could she do anything else besides play loudly and forcefully?

Extractions: Helene Grimaud is a Westchester, New York-based classical pianist (who apparently did a fine version of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto #2). Now 30, she has two interesting traits: one, she practices on a Yamaha. Two, she lives with wolves. (Monday, 28 Oct 2002) Fractals for Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2 "I know it isn't very practical, but the idea is to examine each image as the appropriate movement is playing. It is the music which connects the images into a series, not the gradient nor the form nor the math nor the lines nor an idea. The music." (Monday, 28 Oct 2002) Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor Depressed, rejected by critics, exploited by publishers, and receiving an in-person scathing from Tolstoy (followed by more depression), Rachmaninoff was brought back to composing by a friendly hypnotist - with the great Concerto #2 as the result.

Extractions: Tara Wohlberg If Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750), supreme arbiter of the Baroque period, had written only one set of variations worth performing, the d minor Chaconne BWV 1004 would be the set. Taken from the second unaccompanied violin Partita, it has been transcribed for virtually every instrument of our time. Unlike a passacaglia, which incessantly repeats a bass line, a chaconne repeats a particular harmony. The stately and grandiose triple meter and the economical formal structure create a work of perpetual magnificence. Only Bach could expound upon the same few harmonies for fifteen minutes, (a theme followed by thirty variations twice ), and transcend banal repetition. The audience will not need to count ceiling tiles during this work. Italian child prodigy Ferruccio Busoni (1866 - 1924), gives Bach's

Extractions: Remaining concert : 5:30 p.m. today. An exciting pianist and a clever program of creations inspired by found objects grace this weekend's Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra concerts at Hilbert Circle Theatre. Schumann's A minor Piano Concerto Fratres , a contemporary chamber music work reset for string orchestra, was influenced by Renaissance sounds. Finally, after intermission came another Romantic-era piece, the Brahms String Quartet, but it was orchestrated by Schoenberg, a modernist. Fratres Fratres deliberately and treated the long decrescendo at the end of the piece gently, so that the tapering off into silence was dramatic. Grimaud, a French pianist born in Aix-en-Provence, has a huge, highly physical technique at the keys. In the first frenetic piano statement in the first
