Extractions: BWV 988 Format: Compact Disc Record Label: Sony Classical Catalog Number: SK/SM 89243 Year Released/Recorded: Comments: Dddr Ronald Davie said: Murray Perahia is one of the great pianist of our time. His interpretation of the set of Mozart Piano Concertos was for me until now his supreme and unsurpassed achievement. However, his recordings of Bach's keyboard music, starting with the English Suites 1,3 and 6 (a 1998 Grammy Award) and, most recently, the Goldberg Variations suggest that Bach, even more than Mozart, may bring the best from Perahia's outstanding talent. Certainly, his 'Goldbergs' have attracted immense crtitical acclaim. His unmannered virtuosity, his tonal variety and delicacy of touch and his sympathetic and intelligent performance of this most monumental or works marks out this recording as almost certainly the best interpretation to date. Perahia has, as they say, raised the bar. For those unfamiliar with this work - or those in general not drawn towards solo piano performances - this recording can in particular be recommended. Bach's brilliance and inventive genius is revealed in all its glory by a master artist.

When he was seventeen he entered the Mannes College of Music, where he graduated in conducting and composition. Perahia continued studying the piano with teachers like Artur Balsam and Mieczyslaw Horszowski. It was during this time that he met and worked with musicians like Rudolf Serkin and Pablo Casals. In fact it was a performance of Bachâs St. Mathew Passion conducted by Casals that turned out to be one of the most important experiences in young Perahiaâs career. One of the first highlights in Perahia's concert career as a pianist was his Carnegie Hall debut in 1968.

Help More classical CD reviews Perahia is not a pianist who flaunts his technique. Keyboard pyrotechnics are not a conspicuous part of his armoury and he has never specialised in the bravura parts of the repertory, but Chopin's two sets of studies present much more than just the technical challenge their title suggests. Perahia is certainly not challenged by their difficulties, but concentrates instead on drawing out their poetry, phrasing every upwelling melody with an easy eloquence.

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
Bach I do not wish to put her name forward as better than murray perahia, I simply wantedto Donald Satz wrote To be sure, this is fine Bach by a master pianist. http://www.bach-cantatas.com/NonVocal/Klavier-English-Perahia-Vol2.htm
Extractions: Yet, although satisfied, I was never moved by Perahia's versions. I felt that I'd heard it all before. As an example, hearing the beginning of the 2nd English Suite, my mind wandered to the Woody Allen movie, Crimes and Misdemeanors. Sometimes, I thought of Schiff's recordings on London. I simply did not find anything truely distinctive or unique.

Extractions: Yes why indeed. Murray Perahia's first journey into the baroque repertoire has certainly left an impact on it's audience, as profound as any. After a thumbinjury that fortunatly did not affect Mr. Perahia's musicianship in any other way than giving him the opportunity to devote himself to the studies of new repertoire, this remarkable pianist has come back with what has proved to be one of 1997's finest pianorecordings. For this disc he was, not surprisingly, honoured with the prestigious Gramophone award in the "Instrumental" category. Personally, I first heard the record in a store in London in the spring of 97 while I, with some dismay, was watching the long line in front of the cash register. Quite by chance I went to the nearest listening station where this disc was among the choices. It took me, I think, only a few seconds to absolutely love Perahia's Händel suites. I still shudder at the thought of not having come across this disc, although the mediacoverage it recieved later on surely would have caught my attention. The Händel suites have regretably been standing in the monumental shadow of Bach's more well known cousins, and have never really been given the attention and admiration they surely deserve. Not untill Richter and Gavriliov with their great performances of them, made the musicworld open it's eyes. Now it is Perahia that again have brought some well deserved attention upon them, through his brilliant recording.

Laser's Edge: Reviews pianist murray perahia calls Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations for keyboard one of the greatest monuments of the literature, and his new Sony http://www.lasersedgecd.com/bach_goldberg_perahia.html
Extractions: Murray Perahia, piano Pianist Murray Perahia calls Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations for keyboard "one of the greatest monuments of the literature," and his new Sony Classical recording of the work arrives just as the world of music commemorates the 250th anniversary of Bach's death. Performing the work on a modern piano, Perahia continues his exploration of Bach's keyboard music. "The Goldberg Variations is a piece I've always wanted to play, maybe for 25 years, because it is such a monumental piece, such a challenge and such a beautiful piece, such an expression of joy," Perahia says. "I always wanted to play it, but I had never felt quite ready. I now believe that I've come to a point of view about the piece, and that it has some validity." To prepare the Goldberg Variations, Perahia studied and explored the work in his studio for two years before adding it to his performing repertoire.
