Following her Los Angeles debut in the Wilshire Ebell Theater critics noted that, "she was a sensitive and thinking musician first and an awesome technician second." Ms. Paik has appeared with leading orchestras including the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the National Symphony Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Munich Philharmonic, the Japan Philharmonic, the Korean National Symphony, The National Symphony of Belgium, the city of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the Warsaw Philharmonic and the Moscow State Philharmonic Orchestra.

Extractions: I n "Piano Pieces," Russell Sherman treats the piano much the same way Robert Pirsig handled Zen and motorcycles: with deep consideration and love. "The breath, prayers and libido of the fingertips must somehow be transferred to the neutral indifference of the key," Sherman writes, in this astonishingly quotable book; every page drops a golden prose apple. Fingers arc like "a team of wild huskies." The thumb is "the black sheep who is forbidden to roam on the black keys." The piano offers "rare aphrodisiacs of sound." A renowned classical pianist who teaches at the New England Conservatory of Music, Sherman comes at these 88 keys from the vantage of both performer and instructor. The book lacks a conventional narrative, opting instead for a butterfly strategy of quick exploration, then moving on. Hence the "Pieces" of the title; five sections enfold alightings on everything from the specific (the anatomy and musculature of playing) to the overarching (how music unlocks our hearts). The reader soon realizes Sherman's pedagogical style is holistic a term he would sneer at, having tagged himself "an old and unregenerate crust." (He's 66.) Here's his idea of homework, for instance: "I have asked one student to prepare a short discourse on the subject of chiaroscuro. . . another to. . . write an essay on the (plant) cycle, another to work up a list of twenty-five similes for the image of a samovar." Such careening well-roundedness informs the text. The book cites everyone from Edward Steichen to Lenny Dykstra (the man's a big sports fan), Rilke to Ben Hogan, Gerard Manley Hopkins to Wayne Gretsky. "Life and music were full of sweet surprises and agreeable detours," as Sherman's own beloved teacher, Edward Steurmann, showed him. "The role and privilege of being a musician implied a life without gloom, without pedantry."

Extractions: The New York Times ran a feature article about pianist Christopher Taylor recently, during a run of engagements he gave in New York in February (2001). Here's what Times reporter Kathryn Shattuck had to say about this remarkable young artist: Christopher Taylor: Seeking Adventure for Fingers and Mind By KATHRYN SHATTUCK Those who know the pianist Christopher Taylor tend to speak of him in the hushed, reverent tones typically reserved for natural wonders if not the otherworldly. Colleagues trip over words like "innocence," "fervor," "beauty" and "vision" in an attempt to capture his elusive personality. Critics praise his virtuosity, his cerebral interpretations tempered by an aching tenderness, his unconventional programming and his advocacy of late-20th-century music. Mr. Taylor's bold individuality may never have been more evident than at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 1993, where he took the bronze medal, becoming the first American to place in the event since 1981. In a year when Rachmaninoff dominated the concerto round, Mr. Taylor bucked the trend with renditions of the Brahms B flat and the Bach D minor. He saved his Rachmaninoff, an "Étude-Tableau," for an encore. Mr. Taylor " Kit to his friends " has always had a mind of his own. "I have described Kit as a kind of Parsifal with a computer mind, with a tremendous innocence in what he projects in music and a fervent belief and devotion that shows in certain works with tremendous conviction," said the pianist Russell Sherman, with whom Mr. Taylor studied on and off for a decade. "He is one of those strange genius types but very well balanced. The basic package is powerful."

Extractions: "...and his performance of three of William Bolcom's splendid "Twelve New Etudes" [was] delivered with a daring spontaneity that masked some phenomenal technique...Taylor should be watched. He may be one of the most impressive young pianists on the horizon today." Washington Post "Taylor returned to the stage...and once again displayed a remarkable combination of brain, heart and fingers. In past appearances here, he has demonstrated his ability to bound from Bach to Messiaen, from Rachmaninoff to Boulez and do it all persuasively. Taylor can do it all." Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Extractions: A million listeners will be able to hear the opening-night concert of the 1994-95 Kathryn Bache Miller Theatre season when pianist Russell Sherman's all-Beethoven program is broadcast across the country on National Public Radio. Sherman will be the first of seven artists in the Theatre's "Composer and the Keyboard" series, and the first of 15 Miller Theatre 1994-95 performances to air on "Performance Today," NPR's afternoon concert program. Sherman '48CC will play the Tempest Sonata, the Eroica Variations, the F major sonata, Opus 54, and Opus 111works he will release later this year on a CD of Beethoven's piano compositions. The opening-night ceremony will be emceed by Jonathan Cole, Columbia provost; Sherman will be introduced by Edward Said, University Professor and cultural critic. Last season three Miller Theatre concerts were broadcast on NPR. "We're pretty greedy this year," says Steven Zakar, music acquisitions producer for "Performance Today," NPR's daily afternoon program which has become the most listened-to classical music show on public radio. Zakar says that Miller's state-of-the-art multi-media stage allows for quality recording, especially of the series that feature individual artists and small ensembles.
Extractions: November 16, 1999. "Hats off, gentlemen, a genius!" was the tribute to the pianist Frederic Chopin by the composer Robert Schumann, no slouch at the piano himself. "Guns smothered in flowers" was Schumann's description of Chopin's sound, which seized Paris' attention in the 1830's and changed piano music forever as Schubert's songs changed singing. The Chopin sound made the piano as big as an orchestra, even in miniature pieces: it was melodic and lyrical, the sound of a man who'd been trained by singers. It was passionate and poetic, the very definition of Romanticism; it had Polish folk music and nationalism inside its mazurkas and polonnaises; yet it stands on its own, as one soulful virtuoso's approach to pure beauty. What kind of beauty is the question that piano performers still wrestle with: on the 150th anniversary of Chopin's death, the pianist Russell Sherman argues it wasn't the stuff of candy-box covers. The Chopin sound - in the second hour of the Connection.
