Glenn Herbert Gould (1September 25th, 932-19821October 4th) is a famous Canadian pianist, who was specially mentioned because of johann sebastian bach's recording. 1964, he gave up the controversial performance and devoted the rest of his life to the recording studio.
Gould was born in Toronto, Ontario. After his mother taught him the piano, his grandfather was Edvard Grieg's cousin, and Gould had been studying at the Royal Conservatory of Music since he was ten years old. He studied piano and Alberto Guerrero, learned to work with Frederick C Sylvester, and studied theory and Leo Smith.
1945, he made his first public performance (in the institution), and made his first appearance with the band (Toronto Symphony Orchestra) in the performance of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.4 the following year. 1947 his first public recitation followed, 1950 his first recitation appeared on CBC radio. This is the starting point of my long-term contact with radio and records.
1957, Gould made a concert trip to the Soviet Union. He was the first North American to play there after World War II.
April 1964, 10 Based on his previous public performances in Los Angeles, California, Gould concentrated his other interests in his life: recording, writing, broadcasting, documentary (see below) and composing music (although he caused a little work as a composer).
Gould died in a huge accident in Toronto on 1982. He was buried in Toronto and boarded a pleasant cemetery.
Anton rubinstein (1829- 1894) is an outstanding Russian pianist and composer, who has played and created in Russia and European countries all his life. 1858, "Russian Music Association" was established in Petersburg. On the basis of the association's workshop, 1862 established the first Russian Conservatory of Music. Its performance is full of enthusiasm and expressive force, emphasizing the re-creation of the performer, which has a great influence on the development of Russian and western piano performing arts.
His major works include the opera Devil, Piano Concerto No.4 in A minor and the vocal suite Persian Love Song. The representative work is Piano Solo Essay Melody in F Major, which has been adapted into violin solo and orchestral music by later generations and has been widely circulated for a long time.
Alau: claudio arrau (1903- 199 1).
Chilean pianist. Known as a child prodigy, he studied at the San Diego Conservatory of Music in his early years and then studied piano in Berlin. 19 14 held a solo concert at the age of eleven. 1924, he went to the United States and gave his first performance in Boston Symphony Orchestra, which was a great success. 1925 to 1940 taught at Stern Conservatory of Music in Berlin. 1927 won the grand prize of the Geneva International Piano Competition. After that, he traveled and performed in the United States and South America many times. In San Diego, he started a piano playing school, and a local street was named after him. Its performance is passionate, distinctive and infectious. Recorded a large number of records, including most of the works of composers such as Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Liszt and Schumann. It is especially wonderful to play Schumann's Night and Chopin's four pieces with the help of the band.
Agrich: Argentine female pianist Agrich (194 1-) won the gold medal in the 7th International Chopin Piano Competition (1965), and previously won prizes in international piano competitions in busoni and Geneva (1957'). In recent years, she studied under the pianist Michelangelo. She recorded many records, and Agrich cancelled her concert in recent years, which made her name more legendary and made the audience who loved her look forward to it! Recently, she is more interested in playing piano chamber music. Her concert is nothing more than chamber music, double pianos and bands.
Is one of Agrich's most outstanding pianists today. Her performances seem to be all hands-on! Listening to her play prokofiev's Piano Concerto No.3 is technically excellent. She makes music so simple! This is really her forte. In recent years, apart from the above-mentioned chamber music and two pianos, her new solo repertoire is rare.
