Music in Chopin's Warsaw. eBooks & eLearning

Posted by []mobi1980 at July 16, 2009

Music in Chopin's Warsaw examines the rich musical environment of Fryderyk Chopin's youth–largely unknown to the English-speaking world–and places Chopin's early works in the context of this milieu. Halina Goldberg provides a historiographic perspective that allows a new and better understanding of Poland's cultural and musical circumstances. Chopin's Warsaw emerges as a vibrant European city that was home to an opera house, various smaller theaters, one of the earliest modern conservatories in Europe, several societies which organized concerts, musically active churches, spirited salon life, music publishers and bookstores, instrument builders, and for a short time even a weekly paper devoted to music.

Chopin and Schumann - Etudes (Ragna Schirmer)
Classical | EAC: FLAC+Cue+Log | 1 Cd, Covers | 248 Mb
Date: 2010

The year 2010 marked the 200th anniversary of the births of Frédéric Chopin and Robert Schumann, two great Romantic composers who were also friends and colleagues. Indeed, when Chopin appeared on the musical scene, Schumann wrote in his 1831 review, "Hats off, gentlemen, a genius!" While Chopin's regard for Schumann was a little less enthusiastic, for their artistic aims and sensibilities were dissimilar, the two were respectful …….

Emanuel Ax, Charles Mackerras, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment - Frédéric Chopin: Piano Concerto No. 1 (1999) Music

Posted by ArlegZ at Aug. 9, 2023

The required calling card of any pianist-composer in the 1820s and '30s was a virtuosic piano piece accompanied by an orchestra. When the 21-year-old Chopin arrived in Paris in the fall of 1831, he had several such compositions under his arm, including the Concerto in E Minor (which, although the first of his two concertos to be published, was composed after the Concerto in F Minor) and the already heralded Variations (which had inspired Robert Schumann to remark, "Hats off, gentlemen–a genius.").

Lucas Debargue - Scarlatti, Chopin, Liszt, Ravel (2016) Music

Posted by Designol at Sept. 8, 2023

The most-talked about artist of the 2015 Tchaikovsky Competition created huge excitement and world-wide media attention with his riveting background and “genius-like playing” (Boris Berezovksy). Debargue, who is 25, started the piano late at 11 years old, learning mostly in isolation. After dropping the instrument for three years to play in a rock band and study literature, he started formal piano training aged 20. Placed 4th, he was described by media as “the real winner” of the competition and received the Music Critics’ Association award as “the pianist whose incredible gift, artistic vision and creative freedom have impressed the critics as well as the audience.” Valery Gergiev, the competition’s chairman, broke protocol by letting Debargue play in the winners’ gala and not prizewinner Dmitry Masleev. Lucas Debargue's debut album is a live recording at the Salle Cortot in Paris and documents his first concert in his hometown after the competition. The centrepiece of his first recording is Ravel’s monumentally challenging Gaspard de la nuit.

…Although little known in the West, never having toured or recorded there, Sofronitsky was held in the highest regard in his native land. Sviatoslav Richter and Emil Gilels looked up to Sofronitsky as their master, and famously, when Sofronitsky once drunkenly proclaimed that Richter was a genius, in return Richter toasted him and proclaimed him a god. Upon hearing of Sofronitsky's death, Gilels was reputed to have said that "the greatest pianist in the world has died."…

Ivo Pogorelich - Frederic Chopin Recital: Piano Sonata No. 2; Prelude; Scherzo; Nocturne; Etudes (1981) Music

Posted by Designol at April 11, 2023

When Pogorelich did not make the finals of the 1980 Warsaw Competition (where they play exclusively Chopin), his response was to sign with Deutsche Grammophon for his first recording and he made it an all-Chopin affair. From his stunning opening take on Chopin's Sonata #2, to a Funeral March restored to its grandeur, to the breaktaking final moments of the Scherzo #3, Pogorelich announced to the music world that he'd arrived.
