In Israel, especially, music­ even when borrowed from others -- is intimately linked to the building and rebirth of the state; to pain and suffering, to indeed situations in the life tner to social and political partnership is not purely the world around it, temporal, and remote All this, Arthur Rubinstein understood — clearly and lucidly, yet without dimming his artistic ardor.

Eine Weltkarriere scheint auf ihn zu warten. Doch dann sucht der Krieg Europa heim, alles kommt anders… Im Juli 1937 hat der 18jährige Henryk Szeryng gerade einmal 8 Monate in Paris studiert, als er sein Studium am Konservatorium beim Abschlusskonzert mit dem Prestigeträchtigen und begehrten ersten Preis der Kohorte abschließt. Neben Szeryng erhält der ebenfalls bald zur Weltelite gehörende Geiger Yfrah Neaman diese Auszeichnung. Der später legendäre Solist und langjährige Star-Konzertmeister der Berliner Philharmoniker, Michel Schwalbé, bekommt dagegen nur den zweiten Preis. Ein Detail am Rande, das immerhin illustriert, was für ein Niveau die Pariser Professoren in dieser Prüfungsphase 1937 serviert bekommen. In einigen biografischen Abrissen (ausführliche Biografien gibt es noch nicht) liest man nun, Szeryngs Eltern hätten ihm zum Pariser Abschluss eine wertvolle Geige das Cremoneser Meisters Andrea Guarneri geschenkt.

Glazunov) 45.29 ITZHAK PERLMAN violin Israel Philharmonic Orchestra/Zubin Mehta 2 Itzhak Perlman, Zubin Mehta and producer Suvi Raj Grubb Photo: © Gregory Rozanski 3 KHACHATURIAN: VIOLIN CONCERTO For a long time the sole preserve of Russian violinists, such as Mischa Elman, and, above all, Soviet musicians such as Leonid Kogan, Julian Sitkovetsky and Igor Oistrakh, Khachaturian’s Violin Concerto had only been recorded by a tiny number of Western artists (notably Ruggiero Ricci and Henryk Szeryng) before Perlman laid down this version. Dedicated to David Oistrakh, whose performances of it, both live and in the studio, remain legendary, the work was written during the summer of 1940, while the composer was staying in his home to the west of Moscow, a haven of peace amid the pine forests. “There, I worked with ease… the themes burst from me in such profusion that I struggled to organise them”, he was to write. The effortlessness, spontaneity, acerbity and flexibility of Khachaturian’s melodic inventiveness are particularly evident in the Andante sostenuto, written in a free, almost improvised style, which evokes the art of the ashoughs , Armenian folk musicians. Very much the heart of the concerto as a whole, this central episode is framed by a opening movement with a first theme full of energy and a second which is more languorous, and a finale whose palpable folk inspiration calls on a display of ebullient and obsessively repetitive virtuosity.

  • The Art of Henri Temianka” VIRTUOSO VIOLINIST, CONDUCTOR, AUTHOR and EDUCATOR
    ARSC New York Chapter December 2019 Meeting 7:00 P. M. Thursday, 12/19/2019 →At the CUNY Sonic Arts Center← West 140th Street & Convent Avenue, New York Or enter at 138th Street off Convent Avenue (N.B. not always open) Shepard Hall (the Gothic building) – Recital Hall (Room 95, ground floor) An elevator is located in the center of the building. “The Art of Henri Temianka” VIRTUOSO VIOLINIST, CONDUCTOR, AUTHOR AND EDUCATOR Presented by John Haley As demonstrated by his recordings, Henri (pronounced “Henry”) Temianka (1906-1992) was one of the finest violinists of the 20th Century. Born in Greenock, Scotland of immigrant Polish Jewish parents, he studied violin with Carol Blitz in Rotterdam, Willy Hess in Berlin, Jules Boucherit in Paris, and finally Carl Flesch at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. In 1930, Temianka was in the first Curtis graduating class, earning a double degree in violin and conducting, having studied the latter with Artur Rodzinski. As a violinist he was further influenced by Eugène Ysaӱe, Jacques Thibaud and Bronisław Huberman. Flesch referred to him as possessing “both musically and technically, … a model collection of talents.” After a brilliant debut in New York in 1928 (which Olin Downes described as “one of the finest accomplishments in years”), Temianka returned to Europe and rapidly established himself as one of that era’s foremost concert violinists, appearing with major orchestras in Europe and the U.S. under such conductors as Pierre Monteux, Sir John Barbirolli, Sir Adrian Boult, Fritz Reiner, Sir Henry Wood, George Szell, Otto Klemperer, Dimitri Mitropoulos and William Steinberg.
