Extractions: Violinist Gidon Kremer's tribute series to Astor Piazzolla reaches a stunning conclusion with "Tracing Astor." Here, in addition to works by Piazzolla himself, we get superb music from others influenced by the great tango composer. "Violoncelles, Vibrez!" by Giovanni Sollima isn't jazz- or dance-influenced at all, but it simmers with the same intensity as Piazzolla's best work. On the title track, by Leonid Desyatnikov, Kremer and members of his Kremerata Baltica shine on a subtle, yet swinging piece. On Piazzolla's six etudes, Kremer's solo violin is both sensitive and stirring. Wonderful music. "The Calm: Inspired 20th Century Classics" Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Our price: $12.97 Anyone intimidated by modernists needs to check out "The Calm: Inspired 20th Century Classics," a compilation featuring some of the most delicate, soft-hued, and soothing compositions of the last 100 or so years. The performancesall previously released and taken from Black Box's ever-growing catalog of contemporary albumsare all impressive, and the selection of music (Arvo Part, Paul Honey, Olivier Messiaen, and Erik Satie) is truly eclectic. Martha Argerich is easily one of the most recorded pianists of our time, and her solo albums are always riveting. On this disc, she hands the spotlight over to cellist Mischa Maisky. Though Schumann's Concerto for Cello and Orchestra is the big piece here, the shorter works reveal Argerich and Maisky to be near-perfect partners. Argerich's fireworks may be absent, but the disc is still exciting.

Extractions: Tuesday's (1/25/2000) program of Bernstein's jaunty Three Dance Episodes from "On the Town," Grieg's lush Piano Concerto in A Minor, rapturously played by Russian pianist Yakov Kasman, and Tchaikovsky's fateful, often smashingly full throttle Symphony No. 4, was but another of the maestro's exciting mixes of highly popular and listenable symphonic music. The "On The Town" lyric, "New York, New York, it's a helluva town" catches the spirit of Bernstein's dance episodes, but no more so than the devil-may-care Jekowsky and the Reno Philhamonic brought to these thoroughly American pieces. The syncopated maestro and his phrase-bending orchestra met the offbeat Mr. Bernstein on mutual home turf and it was a terrific blending of homegrown American talent. Irreverence was the name of the game for these bawdy, loose-jointed pieces. Add the pizzazz of with-it soloing from within the orchestra's ranks - the blowzy bluesiness of trumpeter Paul Lenz, to name one - and all the Bernstein lacked was the superlative dancing of Gene Kelly and Ann Miller. With lots of brassy edge, smart alecky woodwinds, shimmering strings with velvety sheen and percussion with rhythm to spare, the Bernstein episodes were dazzlers.

Extractions: Mikhail Voskresensky (German spelling Woskressensky) is the only pianist in Russia to perform all of Chopin's piano compositions during the 1982-83 season in nine recitals in the Small (Maly) Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. He is one of Russia's leading pianists and winner of four international piano competitions (Schumann in Berlin, in Rio de Janeiro, George Enescu in Bucharest, and Van Cliburn in Fort Worth, Texas). In 1966 he was honoured with the Merited Artist of Russia award and in 1989, the People's Artist of Russia. Mikhail Voskresensky has extensive concert experience. His concerts in the USA and Mexico in January-February 2001 were hailed as brilliant by critics. "Voskresensky performed the Second Concerto by Brahms. The personality of this artist is one of those not frequently encountered. His enormous strength as well as his technical and interpretative capacity evokes images of such pianistique figures as Feruccio Busoni, Ignacy Paderewsky and Anton Rubinstein. This great pianist maintains with total fidelity a tradition that sometimes seems to be lost", wrote Mexican critic Enrique Marquez on the 21st of February 2001. Mikhail Voskresensky graduated from the Moscow Conservatory where he studied under Ilia Klyachko, Boris Zemliansky, Yakob Milstein, Lev Oborin (piano) and Leonid Roizman (organ). As student of the famous Lev Oborin, the winner of the First Chopin's Competition in1927, Voskresensky adopted his teacher's refined romanticism, and perfect taste in harmony with the piano's splendid sound. The images evoked by his playing suggest contrasting musical colours, never out of harmony, with a charming legato inducing the instrument to sing. "His playing fascinates audiences with its artistry, cordiality and ingeniousness. Mikhail Voskresensky is a very talented and intelligent musician", Oborin wrote about his pupil.

Piano Gallery Reaches Finals for National Steinway Award Steinway Piano Gallery Underwrites "JAZZ" A Film By Ken Burns 12/20/00 - NAPLES, FL "Jazz music objectifies America," says trumpeter Wynton Marsalis at the outset of Ken Burns' 10-part documentary, JAZZ . "It's an art form that can give us a painless way of understanding ourselves." In the hands of this acclaimed filmmaker, JAZZ , is a journey across an American landscape divided by war, segregated by race, united through swing and dance, and ultimately redeemed through this most American of art forms. "Jazz," the drummer Art Blakey liked to say, "washes away the dust of everyday life." With 75 interviews, more than 500 pieces of music, 2,400 stills and over 2,000 archival film clips - many rare and never before seen - the series follows the growth and development of jazz from the gritty streets of New Orleans to the Lincoln Gardens on Chicago's Southside where Louis Armstrong first won fame, from Prohibition-era speakeasies to the wide-open clubs of Kansas City. The Steinway Piano Gallery of Naples helped bring the program to Southwest Florida. The program originally aired in January and is being rebroadcast in February.
DSCH 18 Shostakovich CD Reviews - Piano Quintet, Eighth Quartet Macacek (violin II), Vladimir Bukac (viola), Petr Prause (cello); yakov kasman (piano ShostakovichsQuintet by the Talich Quartet and pianist Miroslav Langer http://www.dschjournal.com/reviews/rvs18op110.htm
Extractions: Recorded Studio Arco Diva Domovina, Prague, November 2001. In DSCH No. 14, I applauded Take, for example, the third movement, which the former Talich players twisted into a decidedly sarcastic utterance. Now this Scherzo is even more caustically angular. As previously, the second movement contains a real crisis of the soul at its core, bracketed by passages of quiet fragility, but here these are made even more vulnerable in their expanded space. It is in such drawn out and deliberate tempi that the current performance most clearly distinguishes itself from its predecessor, and indeed the rest of the competition. At 33:35, this version is one of the slowest ever recorded, taking nearly 5 minutes longer to have its say than did the Talich/Langer interpretation. As one would predict, this underlines the gloomier aspects of the opus. In the Finale , extended emphasis on mournful elements sours the atmosphere, and a subtle ritardando on the closing bars reinforces the pessimistic outlook.
