Michel BÉROFF (Piano - France) Born in Epinal on 9 May 1950, Michel Béroff was influenced not only by his father, a music lover with a passion for choral singing, but also by the music of Bartok, Prokofiev and Messiaen. From childhood, Michel Béroff tackled pieces by Bartok and Messiaen. He entered the Conservatoire in Nancy and then Paris, following the classes of Yvonne Loriod and Pierre Sancan. While his early career allowed him rapidly to be considered a remarkable interpreter of Messiaen’s works and more generally of French piano music, Michel Béroff also interpreted other composers such as Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann, Mozart or Stravinsky under the direction of the greatest conductors, among whom we should mention Pierre Boulez, Claudio Abbado, Yutaka Sado, Leonard Berstein, Seiji Ozawa... Very active as a soloist in recitals all over the world, he performed chamber music with many partners such as Augustin Dumay, Pierre Amoyal, Barbara Hendricks, Martha Argerich or Marie-Josèphe Jude. A progressive paralysis of the right hand forced the eclectic virtuoso to interrupt his career as a soloist: he subsequently turned to the interpretation of concertos composed for the left hand, but also to conducting. Thanks to four years of re-education, he gradually returned to chamber music and even resumed giving solo recitals. Exclusive artist of EMI for 20 years, Michel Béroff has recorded, among others, the complete works for piano and orchestra of Liszt, Prokofiev and Stravinsky under the direction of Kurt Masur and Seiji Ozawa. His records have been awarded the "Grand Prix du Disque” five times. After a series of recitals of Claude Debussy's piano works in Paris and Japan, Michel Béroff worked as editor-in-chief for the Wiener Urtext publication of Debussy's piano music in 1998. His teaching career began in 1988 with courses at the University of Bloomington in the United States, and since 1989, he has taught piano at the Conservatoire National de Musique de Paris. .

Spring/Summer 2010 a Quiet Place at New York City Opera
PRELUDE, FUGUE News for Friends of Leonard Bernstein RIFFS Spring/Summer 2010 A Quiet Place at New York City Opera by George Steel eonard Bernstein himself Lsaid that all of his works - symphonies, piano pieces, songs, all of it - were theatrical. But his works for the stage have a special place in the history of American music. So I am overjoyed to say that New York City Opera will open its 2010-11 season with A Quiet Place, Bernstein's final completed stage work, with a libretto by Stephen Wadsworth. It is undoubtedly one of Bernstein's greatest musical achievements. As a composer, LB always sought "undiscovered country." It is so typical of him that a late work like A Quiet Place would be full of struggle and experimenta tion. Every note he wrote "cost," as he would say: he paid in sweat and blood (or really cigarettes and Tums) for music that seems inevitable and even, paradoxically, effortless. He completed A Quiet Place through Herculean effort and self-sacrifice. It is an amazing work - and one that we need more than ever. It is not afraid to challenge and to break new ground - and it reaches in some ways further than other Bernstein Music by Libretto by works to integrate his many Leonard Bernstein Stephen Wadsworth musical languages. Bernstein had an uncanny Pro,lwud l1y Houston Grand Opera, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and 1eatro al/a Scala understanding of the theatrical power of music, and all his talent and experience are on display in (continued on page 2) Poster from the Houston Grand Opera premiere production 3 Mass in Virginia 5 Artful Learning Spring 8 In the News Inside ..
