Extractions: William Wolfram Pianist American pianist William Wolfram has gained recognition as an artist who combines powerful Romantic instincts with a truly formidable command of the keyboard. A former Silver Medallist at both the William Kapell and Naumburg competitions. as well as Bronze Medallist at the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, Mr. Wolfram has drawn plaudits from critics both here and abroad for his musical integrity and compelling pianism. In the words of The New York Times, Wolframs technique is flabbergasting; fiendishly difficult octave passages were as childs play, and his strength is tempered by an easy poetry. In November 1999, Mr. Wolfram was lauded by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel for his performance of Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra: Wolfram navigated the concerto with the tremendous technical agility required by Liszt's piano music. But his technical facility paled in comparison to the gripping interpretation he gave the piece. The quick, almost schizophrenic shifts of mood and texture of this single-movement piece are a tough feat to pull off. Wolfram caught the attention and imagination of his audience in the piece's first bars, and kept them to the end with a commanding performance. Moving between the contrasting sections of the piece, Wolfram did not just change dynamics, articulations and tone color, he changed character. It was that sense of drama, conveyed musically that made his performance thoroughly fascinating to hear.

PRINT THIS STORY By Elaine Schmidt Special to the Journal Sentinel Last Updated: Nov. 11, 1999 A program of orchestral music of Franz Liszt and Richard Strauss, a last-minute soloist substitution and a chance to hear a concert program bound for Cuba made for an exciting evening with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra on Thursday. Pianist William Wolfram stepped in this week to replace Tzimon Barto, who canceled his scheduled weekend of performances with the MSO for personal reasons. Wolfram more than rose to the challenge of the Liszt Concerto No. 1, the piece Barto had been scheduled to play. As a composer, Liszt experimented with everything from musical form to orchestral textures, expressive devices and, late in his career, atonality. The Concerto No. 1 is a showcase of this sort of experimentation and of the starkly opposing facets of the composer's personality.
