Ignaz Friedman

Autor Allan Evans
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 iun 2009
Allan Evans's groundbreaking biography of Ignaz Friedman gives the reader the behind and the between of the life and career of this extraordinary pianist. Friedman's repertory emphasized the major works of Beethoven, Schumann, Liszt, and Brahms, but he was perhaps best known for his interpretation of the Chopin mazurkas, which by all accounts he played with the same rhythmic nuance as their composer. Evans examines Friedman's life as a cultured Jewish musician in Poland; his studies in Leipzig and Vienna; his relationship with Manya Friedman - a Russian noble and relative of Tolstoy; and his performing career, teaching, and retirement in Australia.

Recenzii

"Of great interest to pianists and their audiences . . . the accounts of lessons with Friedman are particularly riveting." Kenneth Hamilton, Birmingham University"A remarkable and historic book that delivers an intimate and thorough portrait of the artist." Kenneth Cooper, Manhattan School of Music"There was an early archaeologist in the first decades of the 15th century by the name of Ciriaco d'Ancona. When asked what he was doing, he replied: 'I wake the dead.' Allan Evans could claim the same. It is wonderful, how many hidden testimonies he rescues from oblivion!" Ernst Gombrich
