Virtuoso pianists who perform their own works are part of a time-honored tradition, and in this bicentennial year of Liszt (not long after anniversaries of Schumann and Chopin) we are reminded of this fact. Among the new generation in this category, Quentin Kim (b. 1976) is undoubtedly among the standouts. A recital of works by Beethoven, Schumann, and Mr. Kim himself was a memorable and inspiring occasion... Read more
Word must be spreading about the musical feasts presented by New York Concert Artists & Associates, as their audiences seem to be growing from concert to concert. Under the artistic direction of Klara Min, the musical fare seems to be growing in scope as well. A recent evening featuring four big piano concerti included a work that is rarely performed live, the Vaughan Williams Piano Concerto in C (1926, first two movements, and finished in 1931). Having heard the excellent new recording of it played by Ashley Wass (also recorded twice by Howard Shelley), I had recently been wondering why the piece is so overlooked; granted, it is fiercely difficult and sprawling, with a quiet ending that elicits a hush rather than an explosive ovation, but its treasures are many. Excellent pianist Yoojin Oh found these treasures, and they were stunning. Ravelian swirls of color, expressive cadenzas, bold percussive statements, and a well-controlled fugue all sounded as if the pianist had performed this piece for years (though she was using the score). Ms. Oh has considerable credentials, so hopefully she will parlay them into further performances of this unfairly neglected gem. I for one would want to hear it again... Read more
New York Concert Artists & Associates (NYCA) will be presenting “Evenings of Piano Concerti” (EPC) concert series at various venues in New York City. In its third season, NYCA promises a one- step upgraded concert series with a participation of the world-renown pianists and master classes given by eminent professors. New York Concert Artists (NYCA) has been presenting Evenings of Piano Concerti (EPC) in New York City. In its third season already, NYCA adds more variety and enthusiasm to the series. EPC has its own characteristics for presenting the festival of piano concertos every year. NYCA’s artistic director Klara Min expresses her thoughts to the concert series. “Pianists are the core part of the Evenings of Piano Concerti being presented as soloists for the concerto performances. A concerto appearance with orchestra is the most attractive genre on stage, but unfortunately there are not enough chances for every pianist in reality of the classical music world. EPC provides opportunities to young pianists to play with an orchestra in New York city”... Read more
