To link label and listener directly we run the Toccata Discovery Club, which brings its members substantial discounts on all Toccata Classics recordings, whether CDs or downloads, and also on the range of pioneering books on music published by its sister company, Toccata Press.

  • Russian Pianist Olga Kern Opens $2 Million Public Piano Exhibit in Vancouver with Unveiling of $240,000 Steinway “Arabesque”
    RUSSIAN PIANIST OLGA KERN OPENS $2 MILLION PUBLIC PIANO EXHIBIT IN VANCOUVER WITH UNVEILING OF $240,000 STEINWAY “ARABESQUE” VANCOUVER, BC (April 30, 2014) – Award-winning Russian pianist Olga Kern opened a twelve-day public exhibit of custom designed pianos at Tom Lee Music today with the unveiling of Steinway & Sons’ new Limited Edition “Arabesque” piano, a $240,000 grand piano designed by renowned American furniture designer and artist Dakota Jackson to celebrate Steinway’s 160th anniversary. Widely recognized as one of the world’s great pianists, Ms. Kern celebrated the unveiling of the Arabesque by playing the Arabesque by Swiss composer Charles Samuel Bovy-Lysberg (1821-1873). Later this evening, she will perform works by Schumann, Alkan, Chopin and Rachmaninoff at a Vancouver Playhouse Recital presented by The Vancouver Chopin Society. The Arabesque unveiled today, one of only 50 worldwide and the only one in Canada, is the first piano to win the 2014 Red Dot Design Award for product design from the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen, one of the oldest and most highly reputed design institutions in Europe. A jury of international experts evaluated 4,815 product entries from around the world before awarding the coveted Red Dot designations. Made of polished black ebony, the Arabesque is one of 11 custom designed pianos worth $2 million that will be on display through to Sunday, May 11th. Jackson, a former dancer, designed the piano to reflect the channeled energy, perfect balance, and beauty of the Arabesque ballet pose in which the dancer's limbs are extended and held. He gave the Arabesque the impression of fluidity and movement through pentagonal legs, a gracefully curved prop stick, and a double row of silver bands in the rim.

  • Boris Radulovic´ Curriculum Vitae Biography
    BORIS RADULOVIC´ CURRICULUM VITAE BIOGRAPHY Lauded as the “new star in the celestial canvas of pianists” (General-Anzeiger Bonn), Boris Radulovic has long been keeping the press assured of and the audiences captivated with his exceptional skills and talent. His diligence and aspiration to embody as many facets of life as possible in his music are reflected both within this charismatic artist and the “many and varied hues of his sagacious playing” (Siegerland Rundschau). Born in 1984 in Belgrade, Serbia, Boris had his first encounter with classical music very early on, an experience which immediately fomented the desire in him to pick up the piano. At a mere five years of age he received his first piano lesson at the hands of Smilja Todorovic and some years later at the Josip Slavenski Music School, under the tuition of Prof. Olga Bauer, who, together with her husband Prof. Aleksandar Bauer, played a big role in his artistic development. Thanks both to his high artistic and technical standards, he graduated at the top of his class, with his graduation concert earning him the first prize of the Ivan Petkovic Foundation. In recognition of his cultural and academic performances, the young talent received the Belgrade Angel award, as well as the honorable title of Student of the Generation, granted to him by the heir apparent Aleksandar Karadjordjevic. At the end of 2004, Boris Radulovic began his studies at the Cologne Music Academy under the tutelage of Prof. Dr. h.c. Arbo Valdma, a former student of Bruno Lukk’s, who, in turn, could name Arthur Schnabel and Paul Hindemith among his mentors.

    The History www.fazioli.com The History www.fazioli.com 1944–1977 Paolo Fazioli was born in Rome in 1944, into a family of furniture makers. From a very early age he demonstrated a gift for music and a keen interest in the piano. He consequently started taking piano lessons and continued his piano studies thorough his high school and university years, during which he developed a keen interest in the piano construction technology, broadening his knowledge by visiting manufacturing and restoration workshops and reading the most authoritative literature on the subject. In 1969, he graduated from the University of Rome with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and in 1971 he received a degree in piano performance from the G. Rossini Conservatory in Pesaro, under the guidance of Maestro Sergio Cafaro. At the same time, he earned a Master’s degree in Music Composition at the St Cecilia Academy in Rome, where he studied under the composer Boris Porena. In the meantime, his elder brothers took over the family business, manufacturing office The FAZIOLI family in 1947 furniture and exporting it throughout the world under the brand of MIM (Mobili Italiani Moderni). The Turin factory specialised in the production of metal furniture, while the Sacile factory (in the province of Pordenone) manufactured wood furniture using rare and exotic woods such as teak, mahogany and rosewood. 1944–1977 Paolo Fazioli joined the company after graduation, honing his management skills as a production planning manager first in Rome and then at the Turin factory, while at the same time developing his expertise in wood processing.
