Mr. Szeryng,' Philips, Deu.tsche Gram1llophon, RCA, and Columbia Records. Centennial Season- Fourth Concert Beethoven Sonata Pair Series About the Artists Gyorgy Sandor's close personal relationships with his Hungarian countrymen, Bartok and Kodaly, are legendary by now. In 1937, two years before Sandor's American debut, he received the following tribute from Bela Bartok: "Gyorgy Sandor is one of the best pianists of our younger generation. He possesses plasticity, clarity, energy and emotion without sentimentality in his interpretations. He has a remarkably varied repertoire, and besides the classic and romantic literature he does not neglect conteinporary works either. Therefore he can be regarded as a very able interpreter of modern piano music." Indeed, it was Sandor who performed the world premiere of Bartok's monumental Third Piano Concerto in New York's Carnegie Hall, shortly following the composer's death in 1945.

    The Other Tchaikowsky A biographical sketch of André Tchaikowsky David A. Ferré Cover painting: André Tchaikowsky courtesy of Milein Cosman (Photograph by Ken Grundy) About the cover The portrait of André Tchaikowsky at the keyboard was painted by Milein Cosman (Mrs. Hans Keller) in 1975. André had come to her home for a visit for the first time after growing a beard. She immediately suggested a portrait be made. It was completed in two hours, in a single sitting. When viewing the finished picture, André said "I'd love to look like that, but can it possibly be me?"

When I sneaked a glance I saw that his eyes had narrowed and he held his mouth slightly open, as if ready to speak but unable to bring out the words. Finally, he managed a weak, "Would you say that again?" It was April 1985, and I had just arrived in London to enjoy six months of vacation and to fulfill an overdue promise to myself.

  • Heinrich Neuhaus and Alternative Narratives of Selfhood in Soviet Russi
    ‘I wish for my life’s roses to have fewer thorns’: Heinrich Neuhaus and Alternative Narratives of Selfhood in Soviet Russia Abstract Heinrich Neuhaus (1888—1964) was the Soviet era’s most iconic musicians. Settling in Russia reluctantly he was dismayed by the policies of the Soviet State and unable to engage with contemporary narratives of selfhood in the wake of the Revolution. In creating a new aesthetic territory that defined himself as Russian rather than Soviet Neuhaus embodied an ambiguous territory whereby his views both resonated with and challenged aspects of Soviet- era culture. This article traces how Neuhaus adopted the idea of self-reflective or ‘autobiographical’ art through an interdisciplinary melding of ideas from Boris Pasternak, Alexander Blok and Mikhail Vrubel. In exposing the resulting tension between his understanding of Russian and Soviet selfhood, it nuances our understanding of the cultural identities within this era. Finally, discussing this tension in relation to Neuhaus’s contextualisation of the artistic persona of Dmitri Shostakovich, it contributes to a long- needed reappraisal of his relationship with the composer. I would like to gratefully acknowledge the support of the Guildhall School that enabled me to make a trip to archives in Moscow to undertake research for this article.
