Extractions: A Meeting with an Exceptional Slovak Interpreter The Singing Piano of Marian Lapsansky Marian Lapsansky, an excellent Slovak pianist, has travelled around the world a great deal, gained many medals and diplomas, was a longtime soloist of the Slovak Philharmony, and recorded dozens of records. He is also a successful piano teacher, senior lecturer at the University of Performing Arts in Bratislava, and an organiser of concert life. On February 1st 1997 he was appointed director of Slovkoncert, a Slovak art agency. He initiated the establishment of the Foundation of Constatine and Methodius. In an unusual interview made on the occasion of the artist's 50th birthday, the author endears Marian Lapsansky to the readers from the artistic and human points of view. Marian Lapsansky comes from Tisovec, a little village in Central Slovakia which was outside a large cultural center; it had, however, its own intense amateur music life. Marian Lapsansky's parents were teachers. They could both play several musical instruments. Lapsansky began playing the piano and the violin at the Folk Art School and became a member of the 'Tisovsky amatersky orchester' (Tisovec Amateur Orchestra). Those were his first steps towards exceptional interpretative art. At present the artist does a lot for humanity. He tries to raise money to organise festivals and he helps to organize interpretative courses and piano competitions. Since 1991 the Foundation of Constantine and Methodius has supported young artists. The members of its board are significant representatives of cultural, economic and social life.

Extractions: BRAHMS: Piano Quartet No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 25/SCHUMANN: Piano Quintet in E-flat Major, Op. 44 Artur Balsam, piano/The Budapest String Quartet Bridge 9110 67:35 (Distrib. Albany): Culled from the Library of Congress concerts from 1951 (Brahms) and 1953 (Schumann), this remarkable reissue, in solid sound, unites the Budapest String Quartet (with Jac Gorodetzky in the second violin part in Schumann) with the great master Artur Balsam (1906-1994). Balsam is known for his accompaniments for the great violinists: Stern, Szigeti, Francescatti, Milstein, Oistrakh, Shumsky, Fuchs. I recall, however, a rare little "Concert Classics" LP with Balsam and conductor Walter Goehr in Beethoven's B-flat Concerto, delicately played. Balsam had first joined the Budapest ensemble in 1946. His rendering of the Schumann adds to the extant Curzon and Serkin collaborations a sort of compromise approach, neither demonic (Serkin) nor lyrically demure (Curzon), but a broad, muscular reading much like the Demus/Vienna Konzerthaus Quartet readings (in Brahms) from roughly the same period. All of these artists are fully conversant in the Brahms style, with Balsam's having assisted Milstein (and Szymon Goldberg) in the first and last of the violin sonatas. The funeral march from the Schumann Quintet possesses lovely balance, not too

Extractions: Isaac Stern was more than just a violinist. A glib speaker of uncommon personal force, he organized a group to save Carnegie Hall from demolition in 1961, later serving as president of the Carnegie Hall corporation and chairman of the board of the America-Israel Cultural Foundation, as well as helping to establish the National Endowment for the Arts. He died Sept. 22. In his earlier years, Stern's natural bravado conquered his inveterate reluctance to practice the violin and his self-avowed appetites for making merry. Some informed listeners consider his 1952 recording of the Schubert Quintet in C (Sony Classics 58992 ), in the company of cellists Pablo Casals and Paul Tortelier, to be one of the supreme chamber-music recordings. Other early concerto recordings (reissued on Sony SM3K 45952 and Sony SM3K 45956) also contain forceful playing with lots of personality and verve. In the past 20 years or so, with a decayed technique, Stern could sometimes seem assertive and strident-sounding. As one punning critic expressed it: "He left no tone un-Sterned." Teaching and mentoring His staunch support of some younger string players, from fiddlers Itzhak Perlman and Pinchas Zukerman to cellist Yo-Yo Ma, inevitably caused grumbling among musicians he did not wish to play with.

Extractions: The closest I have had to a role model was probably my teacher of seven years, Jascha Brodsky. He was born in Latvia in 1907, and in the 1920s he studied with the legendary Belgian violinist Eugene Ysaye, in Paris. Ysaye himself was born in the middle of the 1850s, which means that through Mr. Brodsky I have a pretty direct connection back to the middle of the 19th century. Mr. Brodsky began to teach me when I was ten and he was 83. He was a wonderful person and teacher (warm and affectionate yet demanding, with very high standards), and a great violinist. I studied with him twice a week, and after my lessons he used to tell me stories about his contemporaries, all the violinists of his generation, as well as his experiences as the first violinist of the Curtis String Quartet, a position that he held for over fifty years. I have some of his recordings, both in that quartet and in recital, and I love his playing, his impeccable sense of taste, his tone, and his style. So I admire him as a human being, as a musician and as a teacher. He died a couple of years ago at the age of 89; I only hope I can live as productive and influential a life as he did.

Extractions: This is a temporary page for Nathan Milstein¹s Discography. I thought I¹d post it up before completing the final and polished presentation with the hope that people who long wanted to have access to the great violinist¹s recordings will find good use for it. This list is at the courtesy of Stan Klemanowicz, who had compiled this comprehensive list. I regret I can¹t do much on the presentation at the moment for Mr. Stan Klemanowicz¹s hard work due to time constraints. I¹m sure, despite rough cosmetics, this will be a treasure trove for those who loved and inspired by Milstein¹s artistry. In the mean time, if you do have questions, corrections, or addendums, please email to me or Stan Klemanowicz . Thanks, and enjoy. This discography needs work and is incomplete. Numerous works are missing, recording data inclusive of recording dates and release dates, as well as accompanying artists and orchestras are required to make this discography whole. Any help will be appreciated. Am especially interested in European and Japanese issues. Please send all comments and corrections to stanklem@earthlink.net. It is my intent to update this list weekly on each weekend, so please come back and see if what you are looking for is here. If not, please let me know. Thanks. Future plans include pictures and graphics. Should my 6MB of free web turf hold out, the page will be expanded to include other artists. Please be patient as this is my first venture into cyberspace. There aren¹t any buttons yet which can take you to each artist so please substitute the surnames listed below.
Interview With Violinist Dylana Jenson Interview with violinist Dylana Jenson The other thing I was going to mention wasNathan milstein For about ten years or so, I would follow him to recitals http://www.flash.net/~park29/jenson.htm
Extractions: Interview with Violinist Dylana Jenson At the age of 11, Dylana Jenson performed the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and at 17 she became the first American woman and the youngest ever to win the Silver Medal at the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. She has received unparalled critical acclaim for her performances with major orchestras throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan, Latin America, Australia and Russia. Hailed by the New York Times as a "mature master," and as "one of the few extraordinary violin soloists in the world" by Frankfurt's Ruhr-Nachrichten , Dylana Jenson is one of America's premiere violinists today. From her acre-and-a-half of "paradise" (as she calls it) in New Mexico, where she resides with her husband, conductor David Lockington, and children, Dylana gave us this interview in the Summer of 1998. Interviewer: As a soloist, what is your own personal view towards musical interpretation? To what extent is technique important in communicating a piece of music? Dylana Jenson: As far as interpretation goes, I really think that the technical is only a vehicle for expression. If you make people aware of the technical as being awe-inspiring, then you've really lost the point of what interpretation is all about. So, even when I'm playing Paganini, I feel it in a musical way, and I hope that the technical should serve the musical expression.

Extractions: by Edith Eisler There has been a surge of interest in the great violinists of the past recently, as if audiences have tired of the undifferentiated, mass-producedsounding performances often heard today and begun yearning for the "good old days" when players could be clearly identified by their tone and personality. The resulting flood of reissues on compact disc offers a fascinating look at the style and characteristics of the greatest violinists of the last century. In this selective report on the concerto repertoire, I hope to reclaim some less-known players and stimulate further explorations. The earliest violinist recorded here is Carl Flesch (18731944), who is remembered mainly as a great teacher but whose recording of the Beethoven and Brahms Concertos (
