  • Robert Levin Selected Reviews
    Robert Levin Selected Reviews Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 3 Scottish Chamber Orchestra (November 2017) “Playing along quietly in the normally orchestra-only exposition, adding in his own improvised lead-ins and interruptions, pedalling freely, stretching rhythms and inserting impromptu melodic embellishments, he treated what we normally hear as nothing more than the Concerto’s bare bones, a framework for spontaneous, in-the-moment creation – all backed up by serious historical scholarship, of course. The result was edge-of-your-seat stuff, sometimes raising a smile, often raising eyebrows, but carried through with utter conviction and brilliant, sometimes rather hard-edged clarity. Most captivating, though, was the breathtaking immediacy of Levin’s account, and its disarming honesty – maybe this’ll work, maybe not, he seemed to say, but we’ll do it anyway.” – David Kettle, The Scotsman **** “Robert Levin, who has just celebrated his 70th birthday, brought his renowned erudition to the solo part, as well as the flair of his own improvised cadenzas, always staying clearly within the embrace of Beethoven’s own themes.” – Keith Bruce, The Herald **** Alte Oper Recital Mozart Saal, Frankfurt (May 2017) “Erfolgreich Musik machen und erfolgreich über sie reden können wenige. Ein solcher Universalkünstler, bekannt auch als Vollender berühmter Fragmente wie etwa Mozarts Requiem, ist der Pianist Robert Levin.” – Gerhard Schroth, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung Hilary Hahn Recitals European and US Tour (March 2017) “A Mozart sonata, K. 481, followed. Again it was Levin whose dynamism collared our ears… it was clear that our musicians were enjoying a conversation. …Levin’s solo turn followed in Hans Peter Türk’s Träume , another welcome UK premiere.

  • Historical Performance Practice at the Beginning of the New Millennium
    Historical Performance Practice at the beginning of the new millennium Dorottya Fabian An interest in early music and performing practices of the past has a long history by now. Its characteristics in the nineteenth century have been mapped by several authors, especially in relation to the revival of Johann Sebastian Bach’s music, the Cecilian Movement and various musical developments in England. Even more pub- lications are available on its twentieth-century history.1 The initiatives during the early decades (e.g. the organ and recorder movements of the 1920s, the establish- ing of the Schola Cantorum in Basel in 1933) and the contribution of pioneers like Wanda Landowska and Arnold Dolmetsch have been extensively studied togeth- er with lesser-known figures, places and institutions.2 But as is well-known, it was during the second half of the twentieth century that the Early Music or Historically Informed Performance Movement has truly taken off, becoming a major force in the world of classical music. Many books and papers have been dedicated to the history of this development, its various phases, musical characteristics, key figures, aesthetic outlook and philosophical assumptions, and its achievements. There was a burgeon- ing of such literature and heated debates during the 1980s and 1990s followed by more comprehensive and ‘corrective’ analyses published during the early years of the 2000s, most focussing on the second half of the twentieth century.3 Much less has 1 Harry Haskell, The Early Music Revival – A History, London 1988; George B.

  • Review Essay Haydn Recordings in the Bicentennial Year
    Review Essay Haydn Recordings in the Bicentennial Year SYLVIA BERRY N ANTICIPATION OF THE 200TH anniversary of the death of Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), a number of early keyboard specialists embarked upon Icomplete recordings of Haydn’s keyboard works, all but one of which was released before the Haydn Year 2009. These recordings include not only the complete solo keyboard works, but also the complete keyboard trios — a wonderful and often neglected facet of Haydn’s keyboard output. In a real marriage of performance and scholarship, every keyboard work Haydn wrote (including some contemporary arrangements of works by Haydn in other genres) has now been committed to disc on a stunning variety of instruments. Thus, in 2009, we can finally hear Haydn’s keyboard music performed on a veritable constellation of clavichords, harpsichords, and fortepianos, reflecting the wealth of keyboard instruments available to Haydn during his life-long career as a composer of keyboard music. Previous to this recent crop of recordings, there were very few interpretations on disc of Haydn’s works on the harpsichord, and only a small number of recordings by a handful of fortepianists of a variety of programs, very few of which included the early works. Expanding on the fortepiano interpretations of the standard programs by Malcolm Bilson and Paul Badura-Skoda, we now have four complete sets of Haydn’s keyboard sonatas, two complete sets of the miscellaneous or non-sonata works (henceforth called Klavierstücke), a number of readings of assorted Klavierstücke, and a complete set of the keyboard trios. Taken together, these sets employ twenty-one instruments, of which a number are antiques.
