The Way It’s Always Done Kent State: In Memoriam MURRAY POLNER t’s been 48 years since Ohio National Guardsmen on May 4, 1970 aimed their M-1 rifles at unarmed Kent State College students and killed four and wounded nine others. You have to be at least 55-60 years of age to have a vivid memory of the events. Despite several trials, a presidential commission, ar- Iticles galore, a flood of books and protests, and the creation of a splendid archive, the May 4th Collection at the KSU Library, no one was ever seriously punished but for the imposition of a very small fine. But to me, the bloodied campus represented the way things have always been done here in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave: Shooting and killing striking work- ers, African Americans, radicals, religious dissenters, Native Americans, antiwar people.

The movie Awas described as an “unfriendly act by the British intel- lectual class” by Nikolai Starikov, head of the Russian Great Fatherland Party, and as part of a “western plot to destabilize Russia by causing rifts in society,” by the head of the Public Council of the Russian Ministry of Culture. In fact, the film provides, in the form of a Dr. Strangelove-sort of black comedy, a remarkably accu- rate portrait of the end of Stalin’s ruthless reign and the subsequent battle for leadership among those in his inner circle. Though only Stalin looks like his historical self, the casting is superb. My only disappointment was the portrayal of the great Russian pianist, Maria Yudina. In the film she is young and glamorous and, though despising Stalin, willing to make a special recording for him in exchange for a bribe of thousands of rubles. The actual Yudina was very different. I have come to know her indirectly through the memoirs of her friend and one-time classmate, the composer Dmi- tri Shostakovich, as related by Solomon Volkov in his book, Testimony (1979), and also through Tatiana Voogd, a founder For Yudina, of our Russian Orthodox parish in Amsterdam, who knew Yudina music was a way personally and even slept under her piano—“the most sheltered place of proclaiming in her apartment,” she told me. It was Maria Yudina’s fate to her faith during live through the Bolshevik Revolu- a time when the tion (she was eighteen at the time) and its aftermath, seeing many of press was policed her dearest friends and colleagues disappear into the Gulag. Fearlessly, more than even recklessly, she wore a cross even while teaching or performing pianos. in public—an affirmation of belief at a time when any display of reli- gious faith could cost one’s work, one’s freedom, even one’s life. In contrast to the on-screen portrayal, she lived an ascetic life, wearing no makeup, spending little on herself, and dressing simply. “I had the impression,” said Shostakovich, “that Yudina wore the same black dress during her entire long life, it was so worn and soiled.” For her, music was a way of proclaiming her faith in a period when printing presses were more stringently po- liced than pianos. “Yudina saw music in a mystical light. For instance she saw Bach’s Goldberg Variations “as a se- ries of illustrations to the Holy Bible,” said Shostakovich. “She always played as though she were giving a sermon.” She would not only perform piano works but sometimes pause during concerts to read poetry by such writers as Boris Pasternak, himself unable to pub- lish at the time. (Pasternak did the first reading of his novel Doctor Zhivago at Yudina’s apartment in 1947.) Yudina was notorious among friends for her inability to keep anything of value for herself. “She came to see me once,” Shostakovich recalled, “and said that she was living in a miserable little room where she could neither work nor rest. So I signed a petition, I went to see vari- ous bureaucrats, I asked a lot of people to help, I took up a lot of people’s time. With great difficulty we got an apartment for Yudina. You would think that everything was fine and that life could go on. A short time later she came to me again and asked for help in ob- taining an apart- ment for herself. ‘What? But we got an apart- ment for you. Maria Yudina What do you need another one for?’ ‘I gave the apart- ment away to a poor old woman.’” Shostakovich heard from a friend that he had made a loan to Yudina of five rubles. “I broke a window in my room, it’s drafty and so cold, I can’t live like that,” she had told them. “Naturally, they gave her the money—it was winter. A while later they visited her, and it was as cold in her room as it was outside and the broken win- dow was stuffed with a rag. ‘How can this be, Maria Veniaminovna? We gave you money to fix the window.’ And she replied, ‘I gave it for the needs of the church.’” Shostakovich, who regarded religion as super- stition, didn’t approve. “The church may have vari- ous needs,” he protested, “but the clergy doesn’t sit around in the cold, after all, with broken windows. Self-denial should have a rational limit.” He ac- cused her of behaving like a yurodivye, the Russian word for a holy fool, a special category of sanctity. Her public profession of faith was not without cost. Despite her genius as a musician, from time to time she was banned from concert halls, and not once in her life was she allowed to travel outside Russia. “Her religious position was under constant ar- tillery and even cavalry attack [at the music school in Leningrad],” Shostakovich remembered. Serebriakov, the director then, had a habit of mak- ing so-called ‘raids of the light brigade’. ... He realized that Yudina was a first-class pianist, but he wasn’t willing to risk his own position. One of the charges of the light brigade was made specifically against her. The cavalry rushed into Yudina’s class and demanded of Yudina: “Do you believe in God?” She replied in the affirmative.

    Demystifying Galina Ustvolskaya: Critical Examination and Performance Interpretation. Elena Nalimova 10 October 2012 Submitted in partial requirement for the Degree of PhD in Performance Practice at the Goldsmiths College, University of London 1 Declaration The work presented in this thesis is my own and has not been presented for any other degree. Where the work of others has been utilised this has been indicated and the sources acknowledged. All the translations from Russian are my own, unless indicated otherwise. Elena Nalimova 10 October 2012 2 Note on transliteration and translation The transliteration used in the thesis and bibliography follow the Library of Congress system with a few exceptions such as: endings й, ий, ый are simplified to y; я and ю transliterated as ya/yu; е is е and ё is e; soft sign is '. All quotations from the interviews and Russian publications were translated by the author of the thesis. 3 Abstract This thesis presents a performer’s view of Galina Ustvolskaya and her music with the aim of demystifying her artistic persona. The author examines the creation of ‘Ustvolskaya Myth’ by critically analysing Soviet, Russian and Western literature sources, oral history on the subject and the composer’s personal recollections, and reveals paradoxes and parochial misunderstandings of Ustvolskaya’s personality and the origins of her music. Having examined all the available sources, the author argues that the ‘Ustvolskaya Myth’ was a self-made phenomenon that persisted due to insufficient knowledge on the subject. In support of the argument, the thesis offers a performer’s interpretation of Ustvolskaya as she is revealed in her music.

  • Rosenobituary
    From Standpoint (a British Magazine) Music A Fusion of Piano and Cerebellum NORMAN LEBRECHT March 2013 Charles Rosen: He could pick a fight in an empty room Days after Charles Rosen's death in December, videos began to appear in which the master pianist was seen holding forth in accent-free French on the music of Pierre Boulez, in Italian on the problems of music criticism and in robust Upper West Side English on practically every topic known to man, at irrepressible length and with irrefutable authority. Charles was the epitome of the philosopher-pianist, a hybrid species that risks extinction with his passing and which deserves more concentrated attention than he himself accorded it, and in much shorter sentences. So there. Charles was, first off, a pianist. Steeped in the grand tradition by the Liszt pupil Moriz Rosenthal, and drawn to the Russian fantasy by the playing of Josef Hofmann, he imposed an incontrovertible immediacy on whatever he played, be it Bach's Goldberg Variations or the constipated chordal sequences of middle-period Elliott Carter. His manner of playing made you believe that this piece could go no other way. A friend who heard him play on ill-tuned Oxford college pianos observes that, of all modern pianists, only Sviatoslav Richter possessed that monumental rightness in performance — that sense of having received the truth from source and, simultaneously, asserting that it would never sound the same again, that its centre of gravity would shift as the earth turns. If you can afford the ICA Classics release of Richter's Festival Hall Beethoven recital of June 18, 1975 you will hear exactly what is meant by this rightness.

(541) 344-1528 • Fax (541) 344-1506 An imprint of WIPF and STOCK Publishers Visit our Web site at www.wipfandstock.com Contemporary philosophy and theology are ever more conscious of the fact that the model of relations between religion and culture developed in modernity is fundamentally flawed. e processes of the secularization of society, culture, and even religion are rooted in the dualistic vision of religion and culture introduced in the late Middle Ages. In seeking a way out, we need to explore domains of culture unaffected by Western European secular thinking. Russian thought is remarkably well prepared to formulate an alternative to secular modernity. Indeed, in Russian culture there was neither a Renaissance nor an Enlightenment. Eastern Christianity retained an integral patristic vision of human nature that had not been divided into separate “natural” and “supernatural” elements. ese pre- and non-modern visions are now gaining exceptional value in the postmodern reality in which we find ourselves. e heritage of Russian Christian thought may serve as a source of inspiration for alternative approaches to religion and culture. In this respect, Russian thought may be compared with nouvelle théologie, Radical Orthodoxy, and other recent movements in Christian postsecular thought. For this reason it remains astonishingly contemporary.

  • Film: the Death of Stalin
    FILM: THE DEATH OF STALIN FDG RATING: 3.2 JJJ Film Discussion Group (FDG) Scale is 1-5 (5 is best) Armando Iannucci: director/co-writer Steve Buscemi: actor, Nikita Khrushchev Simon Russell Beale: actor, Lavrentiy Beria Jeffrey Tambor: actor, Georgy Malenkov DATE: April 22, 2018 DISCUSSION SUMMARY: THE DEATH OF STALIN The Death of Stalin is a clever, raucous political lampoon about bumbling Moscow bureaucrats, backstabbing their way to the top of the heap in an elaborate frantic power struggle to become the next Soviet leader when their tyrannical dictator, Joseph Stalin. drops dead. Among the contenders are sadistic secret police chief Beria who, accompanied by babbling CP Central Committee bigwig Malenkov (Arrested Development’s Jeffrey Tambor), take charge of the situation. Moscow Party Head Nikita Khrushchev (Steve Buscemi) arrives with the rest of the Committee, except for Foreign Minister Molotov, whom Stalin added to his list of enemies the previous night. If these names ring a bell and you can form an historical/political context for the actions that followed, you will have a greater appreciation for the satirical humor that crowds the entire film. The rest of us were at a disadvantage and felt that we were missing a lot of the clever parody and double entendre. But it was just so entertaining, most us laughed out loud anyway. No one really knows what happened behind those heavy red curtains (Wikipedia’s explanation of each character’s role is very helpful) so director/co-writer Armando Iannucci lets the slapstick roll as the farce unfolds while funeral arrangements are made and Stalin’s unstable son Vasily and daughter Svetlana are dealt with.

    mel cd 10 02590 MARIA YUDINA ANNIVERSARY EDITION phonodocuments 10 CDs ИСКУССТВО МАРИИ ЮДИНОЙ Но играть, играть среди и для людей можно только языком и напряжением своей эпохи. Мария Юдина Представить искусство Марии Вениаминовны Юдиной (1899–1970) во всей широте ее пианистического наследия – основная цель коллекции. Ее по праву можно назвать уникальной – и в подборе ранее не изданных запи- сей (Прелюдии, соч. 11 Скрябина, сочинения Андрея Волконского, Антона Веберна, концертные записи «Хорошо темперированного клавира» Баха), и в присутствии редкостей даже для коллекционеров юдинского искусства (в первую очередь это ее интерпретации Первого концерта для фортепи- ано с оркестром Чайковского, Вариаций Моцарта на тему менуэта Жана-Луи Дюпора, «Вариаций на русскую тему» Бетховена, сочинений К. Сероцкого, К. Шимановского…). Вопреки устоявшемуся мнению об избирательности репертуарных предпо- чтений Юдиной, круг композиторов, чью музыку она исполняла, был чрез- вычайно широк: от И. С. Баха и его предшественников до музыки авангарда ХХ века. Вот лишь некоторые факты. На выпускном сольном концерте (по оконча- нии Петроградской консерватории по классу фортепиано у Л. В. Николаева в 1921 году; ранее училась у В. Н. Дроздова, А. Н. Есиповой, Ф. М. Блуменфельда) 3 Юдина исполнила избранные прелюдии и фуги из «Хорошо темперированного клавира» Баха, Прелюдию и фугу ре минор Глазунова, Сонату си минор Листа. Позже пианистка неоднократно включала эти сочинения в свои филармони- ческие клавирабенды, а ХТК Баха оставался в ее репертуаре на протяжении всей ее артистической жизни. Однако первые записи Юдиной были осущест- влены только в конце 1930-х годов, и мы, наверное, никогда не услышим ее интерпретаций Фантазии фа минор, Прелюдий, соч. 28 Шопена, си-минорной Сонаты и «По прочтении Данте» Листа, Сонаты фа минор Брамса, органных транскрипций и сочинений Бузони, Восьмой сонаты Прокофьева… В 1920– 1930 годы на сценах Москвы и Ленинграда в ее исполнении состоялись пре- мьеры сочинений И.

  • Three Musical Geniuses Struggle to Survive1 Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975) Vladimir Sofrinitsky (1901-1961) Maria Yudina (1899-1970)
    1 187a. IN SAURON’S EYE 1920 – c. 1970, Soviet Russia Three musical geniuses struggle to survive1 Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975) Vladimir Sofrinitsky (1901-1961) Maria Yudina (1899-1970) Few journeys better illustrate the perils of personal and artistic integrity in a police state than the careers of Vladimir Sofronitsky, Maria Yudina and Dmitri Shostakovich. At any moment, on the whim of a Party Secretary or Committee, they were lifted to dizzy heights or plunged to depths that threatened not only their lives but all evidence they had existed. Like Rebecca Burstein, who knew them well, the three began as students at the Petrograd Conservatory in the wake of the 1917 Revolution. They ended, deeply scarred, after the so- called Thaw. Mitya ‘Mitya’ Shostakovich entered the Conservatory in Fall 1919 at thirteen – a tubercular undersized boy who seemed so frail that Glazunov petitioned Maxim Gorky and Narkempros Commissar Lunacharsky for special rations to “build up his strength.” He was in the same piano class as Sofronitsky and Yudina, his seniors by six years. The next spring he witnessed with a thousand others their dueling graduation performances of Liszt’s C-minor Piano Sonata, and apparently was transfixed by envious admiration that lasted 50 years. The bar they set contributed to his decision to give up performing when he received only an honorable mention in his first international piano competition (Warsaw, 1927). But the frailty masked steel. By 1927 Shostakovich had been composing for a decade. His earliest known piece – a nonconforming ‘funeral march’ for Kadets murdered by Bolsheviks (1918) – was followed by a flurry of others during his seven years at the Conservatory.
