Extractions: New York Magazine Recognized as an artist of passion and integrity, American pianist Peter Serkin is one of the most thoughtful and individualistic musicians appearing before the public today. Throughout his career he has successfully conveyed the essence of four centuries of musical repertoire, and his performances with symphony orchestras, recital appearances, chamber music collaborations, and recordings are respected worldwide. "He is one of the supreme musicians of our time" ( New York Magazine Peter Serkin's rich musical heritage extends back several generations: his grandfather was violinist and composer Adolf Busch, and his father pianist Rudolf Serkin. In 1958, at age eleven, he entered the Curtis Institute of Music where he was a student of Lee Luvisi, Mieczyslaw Horszowski, and Rudolf Serkin. He later continued his studies with Ernst Oster, Marcel Moyse, and Karl Ulrich Schnabel. In 1959, Peter Serkin made his Marlboro Music Festival and New York City debuts with conductor Alexander Schneider and was subsequently engaged for concerto performances with Eugene Ormandy and George Szell. Serkin has since performed with the world's major symphony orchestras and played chamber music with Alexander Schneider, Pamela Frank, Yo-Yo Ma, the Budapest String Quartet, Guarneri String Quartet, Orion String Quartet and TASHI, of which he was a founding member. He was honored as the first pianist to receive the Premio Internazionale Musicale Chigiana in recognition of his outstanding artistic achievement.
Peter Serkin Classical review, peter serkin at Symphony Center. By John von Rhein. peter serkin did not make it satisfying a Bach and Beethoven pianist too. serkin devoted his absorbing recital http://www.thomasschultzpianist.com/Links_/Articles/Article_Five/article_five.ht
Extractions: By Thomas Schultz Two years ago I heard Peter Serkin begin a recital with Mozart's B-minor Adagio. To me, it seemed a courageous thing to do and I was filled with admiration when he played the piece so well that the audience remained in motionless silence from beginning to end. On Tuesday evening at Herbst Theater, Serkin again chose an uncompromising beginning for his recital, this time Schoenberg's Three Piano Pieces, Op. 11 and again, the audience's attention remained riveted to the music. Serkin's concert, as a whole, was an example of the sort of stimulating programming that pianists and other recitalists might emulate. Not only was a good half of the concert devoted to substantial 20th-century music, but every work played was a challenge to the listener. The presence on the program of both Op. 11 and the Op. 25 Suite of Schoenberg afforded an opportunity to trace changes and stabilities in this composer's music over the span of years from 1909 to 1923. In these two works, as in all of Schoenberg's music, melody is central. Serkin's playing of melodic lines took the form of an intense cantabile, subtle and various in its inflection particularly in the Minuet of Op. 25 and of a finely-controlled, richly-detailed polyphony. He brought out many details in Op. 11 with great clarity, and obscured others with a wash of sound, making evident the work's closeness to the music of both Brahms and Debussy. Conversely, the gracefulness, edge, and humor of Serkin's playing of Op. 25 connected its dance rhythms and dissonances to Webern and Stravinsky.

András Schiff And Peter Serkin: Music For Two Pianos - PopMatters Music Review András Schiff and peter serkin, Music for Two Pianos (ECM New Series) rating 9.2, review by Sarah Zupko pianists András Schiff and peter serkin are both wellknown for their devotion to the fugue and American-born serkin (the son of legendary pianist Rudolf serkin) acclaimed for his http://www.popmatters.com/music/reviews/s/schiff-serkin-music.html
Extractions: P Music for Two Pianos It would be too obvious to approach the fugue with Bach, so instead they tackle pieces by Mozart and two twentieth century composers, Max Reger and Ferruccio Busoni. Rather than presenting two like musical minds whose sound blends seamlessly together, Music For Two Pianos is fascinating precisely because of the "debate" between the differing musical approaches that Schiff and Serkin employ. It makes for a wonderful dramatic tension, all the more palatable as a result of the contrapuntal textures of the fugue that weave in and out. This wouldn't necessarily work with a composer like Beethoven, where dominant melodies are supported by a harmonic structure that rarely intervenes or interferes with the primary melody. Schiff and Serkin's playing is particularly inspired on the often-overlooked on Reger's "Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Beethoven." Reger composed similar pieces on themes by Bach and Mozart that are played more frequently, so kudos to Schiff and Serkin for resurrecting this mesmerizing piece. RATING: 9.2
