Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Evenings with Horowitz A Personal Portrait by David Dubal Evenings with Horowitz. a Personal Portrait. A close friend of the pianist details the enigmatic life of a genius whose music inspired millions around the world with anecdotes of his friendships, ruminations of his dreams, and confessions of his fears. From Publishers Weekly: Concert pianist Vladimir Horowitz (1904-1990), known for his inaccessibility to the public, lived with his imperious wife, Wanda (Arturo Toscanini's daughter), in the isolated splendor of their New York City townhouse. In 1979, Dubal ( Conversations with Menuhin ) was admitted to that inner sanctum to record a series of interviews with the pianist for the New York radio station WNCN, and the insecure and secretive Horowitz took a liking to him. From 1985 to 1988 they met weekly at Horowitz's home, occasionally with Juilliard piano students Dubal brought along. While the conversation, as Dubal reports it in this account, is sometimes stilted, it is always engrossing; for Horowitz--childish, narcissistic and unpredictable--could be both charming and abrasive. Dubal presents a candid portrait of Horowitz, whose vulgarity and lack of tact often startled his visitors, as well as a sensitive appraisal of his playing. Photos not seen by PW.

Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal : Dubal, broadcaster, concert pianist, and faculty member at Juilliard draws upon his knowledgeable background to produce a fascinating portrait of the brilliant and electrifying pianist Vladimir Horowitz. Dubal spent many evenings with Wanda and Vladimir Horowitz in their home and in restaurants. Discussions ensued on repertoire, stylistic interpretations, tastes of audiences, other famous pianists, favored composers, and even such nonmusical topics as care of animals, modern-day presidents, and American youth. Dubal provides a rare and intimate glimpse of Horowitz and illustrates the precariousness of accommodating the temperament of a genius. Complementary works are Dubal's The Art of the Piano ( LJ 9/1/89) and Glen Paskin's Horowitz: A Biography (Morrow, 1983). - Kathleen Sparkman, Baylor Univ., Waco, Tex.

SIDELIGHTS: David Dubal is a faculty member of the Juilliard School and performs piano recitals throughout the United States. He also served as the classical radio station program director for WNCN in New York, NY, for more than twenty years. He brings his love for classical music and his personal experiences as a musician to the books that he has written. Evenings with Horowitz: A Personal Portrait is a compilation of interviews that Dubal conducted with the acclaimed pianist, Vladimir Horowitz. Between 1985 and 1988, Dubal visited Horowitz at his home on a weekly basis; this was a notable event, for Horowitz was very reclusive and rarely granted interviews. A reviewer from Publishers Weekly remarked: "Dubal presents a candid portrait of Horowitz … as well as a sensitive appraisal of his playing." Several years later, Dubal followed that work with Remembering Horowitz: 125 Pianists Recall a Legend . After Horowitz's death, Dubal asked 125 pianists, most of whom had either met, played for, or studied with Horowitz, to write down their impressions of him. The essays include personal anecdotes about Horowitz and "range from the few lines of simple appreciation by Mieczyslaw Horszowsky" to thoughtful studies of Horowitz's unique style and musical ability by Emanuel Ax and Russell Sherman. In Publishers Weekly , a writer commented that Dubal's work "help[s] to recreate the magic spell [Horowitz] cast over his audiences." Donald Manildi, a reviewer from the American Record Guide , noted: "Dubal deserves much credit for assembling this provocative and illuminating volume." Prior to writing Reflections from the Keyboard: The World of the Concert Pianist , Dubal held conversations with thirty-six well-known pianists, including Glenn Gould, Ruth Laredo, Misha Dichter, and Alicia de Larrocha. Some of the artists' answers to Dubal's questions are uncomfortable, self-deprecating, or funny, but they are always illuminating, claim reviewers. In the American Record Guide , John Bell Young said that Dubal is a "shrewd interlocutor…. [H]e is direct and knows how to aim a question for the most revealing response." Young also noted: "Mr. Dubal has written an endlessly fascinating book. Psychoanalysts will love it as much as pianists." The Essential Canon of Classical Music , published in 2001, is a "lifetime listening plan" intended to interest both new listeners and experienced aficionados of classical music. In this work, Dubal discusses 240 compos-ers and includes lists of recordings of their works. Larry Lipkis, of the Library Journal , mentioned that while twentieth century composers are well represented, only fourteen pre-Baroque composers are included, and he considered that to be "a woefully inadequate representation." Despite that, Lipkis stated that The Essential Canon of Classical Music "is a valuable resource." A reviewer from Publishers Weekly commented that in this work, Dubal undertook a monumental task and "brought it off better than might have been expected," noting that "the book's usefulness and comprehensiveness cannot be denied." Dubal once commented to CA: "As a concert pianist I've recorded twenty-five composers on five albums, and each album has a programming theme. I'm interested in bringing to the public a knowledge of the many fine works for the piano—beyond the standard repertory. The Art of the Piano is an assessment of great pianists from Muzio Clementi to those of the present. The second part of the book includes a vast discography. "My book Reflections from the Keyboard: The World of the Concert Pianist is a collection of interviews with thirty-five celebrated pianists such as Vladimir Horowitz, Glenn Gould, Alicia De Larrocha, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Claudio Arrau, and Alfred Brendel." Dubal added that he was pleased that a New York Times Book Review critic called the book "a key boardists' 'Canterbury Tales.'" BIOGRAPHICAL AND CRITICAL SOURCES: BOOKS.
