Music of Titanic ? Tribute by Steve Orchard - 15-05-2012
Undersail by Steve Orchard ?Tribute Music to Titanic With the 100 year anniversary of the RMS Titanic launch and foundering approaching, it is only natural Steve Orchard?s tribute music to Titanic called Undersail, is an interesting collection of new songs to sample. Once I began listening to the 12 tribute songs based on the legendary ocean liner Titanic, it didn?t take long to discover Undersail is by all accounts, the inaugural launch of another admirable 2012 new music release from new age artist Steve Orchard. Steve Orchard from Bristol, England is famous for his ability to produce electronic and instrumental music with creative imagination. After writing reviews about his 3 album Trilogy Series, I can say Steve Orchard?s tribute music of Titanic give rise to reflect the dream-like qualities of relaxing yet energetic melodies he is known to produce, time and again. Undersail is a beautiful music tribute to the story of Titanic, which once began as a dream, born of creative inspiration. Produced at his home studio in England, Steve created Undersail using Roland keyboards, electric and acoustic guitars with special effects made with a Korg synthesizer. I thought some songs like In Titanic?s Wake, God Speed & Full Astern are reminiscent to epic soundtrack music of film composer Vangelis, like the cinematic songs Ghost Ships, Dead Calm & Port Home. Steve Orchard is a prolific singer songwriter who has composed a great collection of original new music throughout his lifetime. This newest dreamy music collection continues the tradition of capturing the imagination while achieving universal appeal. Steve Orchard?s tribute music to Titanic isn?t expected to surpass the 30 million copies sold with Academy Award winning James Horner?s best-selling movie soundtrack score Titanic: Music from the Motion Picture, but Steve Orchard?s Undersail is a beautiful new compliment to the legendary ?ship of dreams? forever christened Titanic

Academy Award Nominee: The Documentary ?TWO HANDS ? The Leon Fleisher Story? - 14-05-2012
In December 2007 American pianist Leon Fleisher reached a high point in a remarkable career when he was awarded a Kennedy Center Honor in Washington, D.C.A child prodigy, Fleisher began studying the piano at age four, gave his first public recital at eight, and at nine was taken under the wing of the legendary Austrian pianist and teacher Artur Schnabel. Fleisher made his debut at Carnegie Hall with the New York Philharmonic under Pierre Monteux in 1944, and he ensured his place among the top pianists of the day when he won Belgium?s Queen Elisabeth International Piano Competition in 1952. Thereafter, he was much in demand by orchestras, concert promoters, and record companies. Especially notable was his series of concerts and recordings featuring the concertos of Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms with George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra. In early 1965 Fleisher began suffering from a malfunction of his right hand: the ring and little fingers curled uncontrollably to his palm. The problem was diagnosed in 1991 as focal dystonia, a condition related to repetitive-stress syndrome, which not infrequently affects musicians. Undaunted, Fleisher focused his energies on teaching and conducting. Eventually Fleisher began performing left-hand pieces for piano. (A number of such works?including compositions by Maurice Ravel, Sergey Prokofiev, Benjamin Britten, and Paul Hindemith?were written for Paul Wittgenstein, a gifted pianist who lost his right arm in World War I.) In addition, Fleisher commissioned or inspired new works from William Bolcom, Lukas Foss, Gunter Schuller, and several other notable composers. During his years of affliction, Fleisher sought relief in numerous treatments, including brain surgery; in the mid-1990s he discovered that occasional injections of Botox (botulinum toxin used as a muscle relaxant) combined with Rolfing (a type of massage therapy) ameliorated the condition. Fleisher returned to two-hand performance in 1995; his right hand steadily improved, although he did not abandon the left-hand repertoire. In 2004 he played a triumphant return recital at Carnegie Hall, and he made his first solo two-hand recording since the 1960s. A short documentary film by Nathaniel Kahn about Fleisher?s persistence, Two Hands, was nominated for a 2007 Academy Award.

Adam Gyorgy Plays Prokofiev?s Scherzo - 14-05-2012
Igor Stravinsky characterized Prokofiev as the greatest Russian composer of his day. Prokofiev was also an excellent pianist, and often performed his own works.Some of his solo piano music performances were recorded for HMV in Paris in 1935, and he was also soloist with the London Symphony Orchestra in the first recording of his third piano concerto, recorded in London on the HMV label in 1932. These recordings are now available on CD on the Pearl and Naxos labels. In this encore from a recital at the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest in 2005, a young Hungarian ?rising star? pianist and Steinway artist Adam Gyorgy displays his sensitive interpretation with a steady yet lively rhythmic sense of repetition, cultivated contrasts and lovely clarity of articulation. A fine performance of this seldom heard Scherzo.

Myra Hess ? Piano to Combat Evil - 14-05-2012
The National Gallery at Trafalgar Square in London is arranging a Dame Myra Hess Day on the 25th of November (2008). This annual event honours Dame Myra Hess who initiated, directed and performed a series of legendary concerts at the National Gallery during the Second World War. This year?s concerts will take place in the Barry Rooms (Room 36), where the original concerts were also held. UK-based international pianist Piers Lane is the artistic director of the Myra Hess concerts, and the arrangement is supported by The Ernest Hecht Charitable Foundation. During the war years and the blitz, Dame Myra Hess organized over onethousand concerts at the National Gallery. The Gallery had removed allthe paintings, keeping just one on display each month, and thousands ofpeople (many not regular concertgoers) came to listen, be inspired, andpossibly garner a little hope from these wartime concerts.The concerts were a cultural oasis for thousands of Londoners during a time when the concert halls and theatres were otherwise closed. For Myra Hess, the concerts were a wonderful opportunity to ?give spiritual solace to those who are giving all to combat the evil?. Legendary English pianist Dame Myra Hess (1890-1965) studied at the Royal Academy of Music. She made her London debut in 1907, performing Beethoven?s Piano Concerto No. 4 under Sir Thomas Beecham.She first appeared in the United States in 1922.Her playing was acclaimed in terms of both its virtuosity and poetic sensitivity.Hess was most renowned for her interpretations of the works of Mozart, Beethoven and Schumann, but had a wide repertoire ranging from Domenico Scarlatti to works by contemporary composers. In this rendition of the first movement of Beethoven´s ?Appassionata? Op. 57 from 1945, her modern sense of drive and virtuosity, which never overshadows the poetic vision of drama and contrast, is clear for all to hear.

Michelangeli Plays Beethoven Sonata Op. 2 no. 3 - 14-05-2012
Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (1920 -1995) was an Italian classical pianist. He is considered among the most commanding and individualistic piano virtuosi of the 20th century, alongside names such as Vladimir Horowitz and Sviatoslav Richter.Along with Ferruccio Busoni, he is often described as the most important Italian pianist ever.He obtained his soloist?s diploma at the age of fourteen, and was immediately launched into his concert career. His extraordinary talent was recognized instantly and in 1939 he won first prize in the prestigious Geneva International Competition, under a jury headed by Ignaz Paderewski. His importance as a key figure among 20th-century pianists was confirmed when Cortot said:?Here is a new Liszt?. Michelangeli built a reputation as much on the frequency of his cancellation of concerts as on his piano performances.He recorded for Deutsche Grammophon between 1971 and 1989, including four Mozart and three Beethoven concerti with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra under Carlo Maria Giulini. The Beethoven recordings are from live television broadcasts. Michelangeli?s early recordings were made for HMV in Milan from 1939 to 1942. In addition to works by Grieg, Albéniz, Granados and Mompou, some excellent Scarlatti sonatas stand out, as does his rendition of the Beethoven Piano Sonata in C major Op. 2 No. 3 .On this video, he plays the first movement from that same work, recorded in 1970.

Gould?s Favourite Piece but not his Favourite Piano - 14-05-2012
In Katie Hafner´s recent book; A Romance on Three Legs - Glenn Goulds Obsessive Quest for the Perfect Piano (2008), the author has avoided well known and often exaggerated stories concerning Gould´s eccentricity. Instead, she focuses on Gould´s musical perfectionism, which was, of course, also quite eccentric.The main characters in the book are Gould, the Steinway grand of his choice?instrument number CD 318?and his piano technician Verne Edquist. When it was in transport at one point in 1971, this grand piano was subject to a terrible collision and could never be properly restored.Therefore, ironically, neither of the two Gould recordings of J.S. Bach´s Goldberg Variations (1955 and 1981) were made on Gould´s favourite instrument. The Aria is played here on a Yamaha grand, shortly before Gould´s death in October 1982. Glenn Gould´s contribution to to the world of Bach performance was rich and complex.In addition to adding to the incipient popularity of original instrumental ancient music movement in the 1960s and 70s, Gould´s interpretations taught us about the potential of articulation and tempo (never indicated in Bach?s scores). In this Aria, Gould uses a slower tempo than usual, giving an improvisational basis for the theme with time to experience both the importance of articulation, baroque decorations and the free, singing melody in a slowly moving harmonic context.His experiments with time and musical meter truly changed our ideas of how to play Bach.

2x Marx at the Piano in a Duet - 14-05-2012
Leonard Marx, known as Chico and Arthur Marx (previously Adolph Marx), popularly known as Harpo Marx were two of the Marx Brothers.Groucho Marx one time said that Chico never practiced the pieces he played. Before performances he would soak his fingers in hot water before going on instead.He was known for ?shooting? the keys of the piano. As part of the act he would play passages with his thumb up and index finger straight ? like a gun (he appears in the film ?A Year to Remember? (1948) playing an extraordinary ?shooting? version of the famous Australian song ?Waltzing Matilda? to a group of Australian soldiers). Another charming example of his keyboard flamboyance is found in the film ?A Night at the Opera?.
