FORTY-FIITH SEASON, 1988-89 ~~~-___ 9 BELLA DAVIDOVICH Piano Before emigrating to this country, Be'na Davidovich was one of the Soviet Union's preeminent artists, as well as one of the few women to be admitted to the inner circle of Russian cultural life. Since coming to the U.S. a decade ago, Mme. Davidovich has established herself as one of her adopted country's premiere keyboard artists, as well as one of few women to achieve such international prominence. Her Octo ber 1979 American debut at Carnegie Hall before a standing-room-only crowd, heralded a new chapter in a career of major importance. On October 15 of this year, Carnegie Hall will present Miss Davidovich in a concert celebrating the lOth anniversa ry of her debut at the hall. Throughout her extraordinary career, Mme. Davidovich has performed with the world's leading conductors, including Andrew Davis, Christoph von Dohnanyi, Charles Dutoit, Neville Marriner, Riccardo Muti, Eugene Ormandy, Mstislav Ros tropovich, Maxim Shostakovich, Leonard Slatkin, Klaus Tennstedt, Michael Tilson Thomas, Edo de Waart and David Zinman, among many others. Each year Bella Davidovich continues to affirm the high esteem of the thousands who have become her followers during her ten seasons in the West- this season in tours from coast to coast in the USA, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, the Nether lands, Portugal and Finland. Her triumphant first visit to Poland in thirteen years took place in the spring in 1988. The Polish musical and cultural community celebrated her return jubilantly; the concerts were broadcast on national radio live and televised by several European countries. Born into a family of musicians in Baku, Russia, Mme. Davidovich was 18 when she entered the Moscow Conservatory. In 1949 she won First Prize in the Chopin Competition in Warsaw, earning her the title "Deserving Artist of the Soviet Union". During her remarkable career in Russia, Mme. Davidovich appeared with every major Russian conductor and performed as soloist with the Leningrad Philharmonic for 28 consecutive seasons. Mme. Davidovich came to the West in 1978 and became an American citizen in 1984. She is a member of The Juilliard School faculty. Mme. Davidovich records for Philips, Orfeo and Novalis Records. 11 HERE'S A SPECIAL way to reward the lady who's like no other in the world. Give her the Mercedes-Benz 560 SL Coupe/Roadster:-.
