Extractions: De serie heet niet " The great pianists of the 20th century"of "Great est pianists of the 20th century" of " The great es t pianists of the 20th century" maar de titel is bewust "Great pianists of the 20th century. Proef de verschillen. Daarmee geeft samensteller Tom Deacon aan dat het een keuze is. Er hadden ook andere pianisten in de serie kunnen zitten maar hij volstaat met deze pianisten. Het merendeel van de voorspelbare kritiek richt zich daar dan ook op. Maar elke keus is dubieus en elke criticus wil in zijn stukje aangeven dat hij niet van de straat is door andere namen te noemen.

I'm extremely grateful to Mr. Colebank for his research on the Third Concerto and his permission to allow me to create this page based on his research. Please see below for more information about Mr. Colebank's research on the Third Concerto and how you can contact The Rachmaninoff Society These views are my own and do not represent those of The Rachmaninoff Society Mr. Scott Colebank nor the National University of Singapore . Kindly send your views and comments to Kar-Gee, Tan . This is my first-ever attempt to create an HTML page and I hope to be able to improve on it in terms of contents and presentation. So, your suggestions and constructive criticism will be kindly appreciated. The Third (as it will be known for the rest of this article) was completed as a major composition which Rachmaninoff would "show off" in New York in 1909 during his first concert tour of USA. He wrote the work in the peace of his family's country estate, Ivanovka, and it was completed on 23 September 1909 (Julian Calendar).

Critics Should Lighten Up On 'Shine' Pianist The late Glenn Gould, another pianist who talked to himself while playing 3,'' aspianists call it, that separates Vladimir Horowitz or byron janis or Yefim http://www.lubbockonline.com/news/032897/critics.htm
Extractions: The Orange County Register - (KRT) By now millions know David Helfgott's story, testimony to our media's speed and breadth. Before ''Shine'' opened here last Thanksgiving, few outside Australia had heard of this once-promising pianist who slipped into a mental fog and lost a decade in institutions before emerging to a new life as a pianist in a wine bar. The success of ''Shine,'' which has earned more than $30 million at the box office, led quite naturally to a curiosity about the real David Helfgott. A global audience has taken to him just as warmly as customers of that Perth wine bar. After four Los Angeles recitals sold out, tour promoters announced Helfgott would play the Rachmaninoff Third Concerto with orchestra Aug. 25 at the Hollywood Bowl, which seats 18,000. This is really about two stories - ''Shine'' and the real Helfgott. When the artifice of Hollywood merged into a more complicated reality, trouble began. In the brief stardom of ''Shine'' and the real-life Helfgott, we've beheld the full cycle of media fame: Discovery, celebration, dissemination, destruction. The media swirl around ''Shine'' has been amazing. A book written by Helfgott's wife, astrologist Gillian Helfgott (''Love You to Bits and Pieces,'' Penguin) is competing with another book by a Helfgott neighbor (Beverley Eley's ''The Book of David,'' HarperCollins). There is reportedly a spat over royalties.

Extractions: Piano Designs Beyond Steinway? August 30, 2000 Mat de Raad, (Mat D) of the Pianoworld Piano Forum found this by accident while surfing and sent it to me. It's such an important article that I decided to preserve a copy of it here. The Seattle Weekly (October 23 - October 29, 1985) Piano Man - Obi Manteufel Dreams Of Pushing Piano Designs Beyond Steinway. He May Just Be The Man To Do It by Roger Downey One evening in late summer, in a large, airy loft in Wallingford, a group of people stand around a workbench watching while two men painstakingly wind a bright coil of untarnished phosphor-bronze wire onto a blue steel pin, tap the pin into a block of rock-hard maple laminate honeycombed by dozens of precisely drilled holes, and loop the other end of the wire over a hook on the far side of a thin sheet of pristine, pale Sitka spruce topped by a curious twist of laminated wood in the shape of a shepherd's crook, its top edge spiky with a long line of much slenderer machine-steel pins. Wire and pins once aligned to his satisfaction, one of the workmen slowly tightens the wire with quick, smooth pulls of a palm-fitting steel lever, picking the tautening string between pulls with a quick fingernail. When he judges that the thin, twanging note of the string has reached the proper pitch, he puts down his steel tuning tool and picks up a tiny felt-covered hammer, the exact shape of the hammer that terminates the action of a modern piano key, but only half its size. All the bystanders, already standing close, lean in toward the instrument as the technician delicately taps the taut string with his little hammer. A rich, sweet, bronzy note swells out to fill the air, a sound like a church bell half a mile away in still air. After a moment, there's another sound, a unison sigh of relief, of relaxation from tension, of pure pleasure. A 185-year-old musical instrument, voiceless and mute for a century or more, has come back to life.

Greg Sandow -- Rachmaninoff 3d Comparisons two very articulate pianists to help me defend it Alexander Toradze, and ByronJanis. Click the RA icons below to hear the pianist of your choice, and if http://www.gregsandow.com/rach3.htm
Extractions: This all started with a "Consumer Guide" I wrote for the Village Voice, New York's big alternative weekly. I listened to 17 recordings of this suddenly popular concerto, and wrote 17 quick paragraphs, with a grade attached to each one. Poor David Helfgott got an F; Vladimir Horowitz got an A, for his version with Fritz Reiner conducting. (Though a later Horowitz release, a live performance with Eugene Ormandy, only got C+.) You can read this adventure, right here on this site. Much later and by a happy coincidence I was asked to write about the concerto once again, this time for the Los Angeles Times. In fact, I was asked to defend it against critical attacks, which I was happy to do. The more I listened to it, for my Voice consumer guide, the more I loved it. And I enlisted two very articulate pianists to help me defend it Alexander Toradze, and Byron Janis. This piece, too, is available here But you want to hear the music my comparisons of six pianists playing the same Rach 3 excerpt.
