International Piano  |  Jan - Feb 2016
Serbian-born pianist Tamara Stefanovich, known for her thought-provoking juxtapositions of core repertoire and contemporary works, shares her passion for music with the power to irritate, shock and amaze; we explore the volatile yet often fruitful relationship between composers and their foremost interpreters; and why the wild wizardry of Vladimir Horowitz continues to divide critics. Plus, poetry and panache at the International Chopin Piano Competition; Jonathan Plowright challenges the status quo on Brahms; celebrating a new generation of French pianists in London; subtlety and excess in the music of Olivier Messiaen; how fingering can make all the difference to communicating style and character; Warren Mailley-Smith on the mental, emotional and physical demands of performing the complete solo piano music of Chopin in 11 concerts; free sheet music of three miniatures by Richard Rodney Bennett; and your chance to WIN a 50-CD box set of Vladimir Horowitz’s unreleased live recordings!
