Three Pianists, December 2023
This Week in Classical Music: December 18, 2023. Three Pianists. During the last month, we were preoccupied with composers and completely ignored the performers, who bring their music to the public. So today we bring you three wonderful pianists: Radu Lupu, a Romanian, Mitsuko Uchida, born in Japan, and András Schiff, a British-Hungarian. All three belong to the same generation: Lupu was born in 1945 (on November 30th), Uchida in 1948 (on December 20th), and Schiff – in 1953, on December 21st. Uchida and Schiff are still performing, Lupu died on April 17th of last year. Radu Lupu is widely considered one of the greatest pianists of his time. He studied in Moscow with Heinrich Neuhaus, who also taught Richter and Gilels. In the three years from 1966 to 1969, he won three major piano competitions, the Cliburn, the Enescu, and the Leeds, and embarked on an international career with successful […]

Sviatoslav Richter’s great love as a young man was opera, and his remarkable sight reading skills permitted him to play operatic scores he had never seen before. He was thus able to secure a job at the Odessa Opera as a vocal coach. But by 1937, his hopes of becoming a conductor had been dashed for political reasons. On the suggestion of a friend, he left for Moscow to see if Heinrich Neuhaus, the teacher of Emil Gilels and several other famed pianists, would accept him as a student. Neuhaus reluctantly agreed to hear him, though the young man had

Unlike his slightly older contemporaries and fellow Heinrich Neuhaus pupils Sviatoslav Richter and Emil Gilels, pianist Anatoly Vedernikov (1920-1993) is all but unknown in the West. The same can be said for his sizeable discography. Denon brought out at least 26 Vedernikov CDs, which, of course, lasted in the catalog for about five seconds, and […]
