International Piano  |  Nov - Dec 2015
With recordings ranging from the Bach Preludes to The Pink Panther, virtuoso pianist Cyprien Katsaris speaks to IP about his all-embracing approach to repertoire and the artistic freedom that comes from setting up his own label; Stephen Kovacevich looks back over a career of triumph over adversity; and we examine the enduring legacy of Van Cilburn, grappling with the contradictions of an idolised but often misunderstood artist. Plus, BBC Young Musician Martin James Bartlett on adjusting to the musical limelight at the age of 19; our symposium panel consider the influence of Bach and Mozart on Chopin and the ramifications for performance; the digital piano revolution and whether keyboards can ever hope to match the glories of acoustic pianos; Philip Mead prepares for the first performance of Bax’s Nympholept for piano; the importance of preparing yourself psychologically as a precursor to successful performance; reports from piano competitions at Leeds and Honens; and free sheet music of 9-11 After by Christos Papageorgiou.
