Grigory Ginzburg transcription of "Largo al factotum" from "Il barbiere de Siviglia (The Barber of Seville)" by Rossini. Recorded in 1951. ~ Grigory Romanovich Ginzburg +••.••(...)) Russian pianist, born into a family with no musical traditions. However, his parents insisted that their three sons become acquainted with the basics of music and play piano at least on an amateur level. Grigory, the youngest child, displayed the greatest interest in music. He initially started to study with his mother, and then in his native Nizhny Novgorod with Sofia Barabeichik, sister of the pianist and conductor Issay Dobrowen. Tales of the remarkably talented boy reached Alexander Goldenweiser in Moscow. In 1910, the Ginzburgs introduced their son to Goldenweiser, who immediately decided to teach him music and piano playing. After the death of Grigori's father, Goldenweiser became a surrogate father to the boy. Goldenweiser placed particular emphasis on the development of basic technique. He worked Ginzburg through Hanon's exercises, teaching how to transpose them to any chosen key, play complicated rhythms, tempos and contrasting dynamics. Ginzburg was accepted to the Moscow Conservatoire at the age of twelve, to the so-called lower course, but soon became a full-time student in Alexander Goldenweiser's class. Goldenweiser was Ginzburg's only teacher during the entire course of his musical education. Ginzburg was still a student when he made his debut in 1922, playing Franz Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 1 in E flat major with the renowned Moscow 'Persimfans' orchestra. In spring 1924 Ginzburg graduated from the Conservatoire earning a gold medal, which meant his name was engraved on a white marble plate that listed the best graduates of the Conservatoire. During 1924 - 1928, Ginzburg undertook post-graduate studies at the Conservatoire under the supervision of Goldenweiser, and started his teaching career as an assistant. 1927 brought him great success when he took 4th place at the 1st International Chopin Competition in Warsaw; Lev Oborin being the first prize winner, Stanislaw Szpinalski the second and Rosa Etkin-Moszkowska the third. He was among the favourites of the Warsaw audience who believed he should have been awarded 1st Prize. He joined the staff of the Moscow Conservatoire in 1929 and was appointed full professor in 1935. He devoted considerable energy to educational matters; he was the President of All-Russian Union of Music Teachers, was instrumental in establishing a conservatoire in Nizhny Novgorod the early 1950s and played a vital role in improving the quality of pianos in use throughout the USSR when Steinway began to make appearance. Ginzburg abhorred the Soviet communist system and yet, for much of his life and unlike some of his peers, he miraculously remained unscathed. However, by April 1959, the bureaucracy in Moscow Conservatoire, being in the hands of communist civil servants, had become so intolerable that Ginzburg tendered his resignation. His only option seemed to start extensive concert tours the get away from Moscow but as he embarked upon this new phase in his career he suffered a heart attack. He made a remarkable recovery but when he recommenced his travels it was with the knowledge that he had developed an inoperable cancer. Undaunted, he continued, his final triumph being a sensational tour of Yugoslavia in May 1961. He died in Moscow, December 1961. ~~~ This post is dedicated to my colleague, Ms. Asma Pardi, passing away today, 20 January 2010, at a very young age. ~~~

Sergei Rachmaninoff Josef Hofmann Vladimir Horowitz Artur Rodziński Nathan Milstein Benno Moiseiwitsch Walter Gieseking Wilhelm Mengelberg Albert Ferber Rachlin Paganini Alexander Goldenweiser Alexander Siloti Gounod 1553 1937 1940 1943 1946 1947 1948 1972 1977 1982 1984 2006
In this selection, I've compiled recordings of Sergei Rachmaninoff's (Rachmaninov) favorite pianists, friends and students playing Rachmaninoff. My website on classical music: (http•••) If you want to support me: (http•••) Instagram: (http•••) Twitter: (http•••) 00:00 Josef Hofmann - Prelude in C-sharp minor 02:06 Josef Hofmann - Prelude in G Minor Op. 23 No. 5 - Selection- (1937) * For Rachmaninoff, the greatest pianist of the 20th century was – along with himself – Josef Hofmann. Rachmaninoff dedicated his 3rd Piano Concerto to Hofmann and he wrote this concerto entirely in mind of Hofmann's pianistic character. Hofmann's alcohol problems took a toll on his piano playing, Rachmaninoff said: "Hofmann is still sky high ... the greatest pianist alive if he is sober and in form. Otherwise, it is impossible to recognize the Hofmann of old." 04:26 Vladimir Horowitz - Piano Concerto No. 3, Mov. I -Selection- (1943) * Horowitz here with Rachmaninoff's friend, conductor Artur Rodziński. 12:43 Vladimir Horowitz - Prelude Op.32 No.5 in G major (1977) * Rachmaninoff's favorite after Hofmann was Horowitz. Rachmaninoff wrote his 3rd concerto for Hofmann, but Hofmann never played this piece. But Horowitz's performance of the 3rd concerto was exactly what Rachmaninoff wanted. Rachmaninoff told violinist Nathan Milstein that Horowitz played the Third Concerto better than he did. 15:53 Benno Moiseiwitsch - Piano Concerto No. 2, Mov. I -Selection- (1943) * Moiseiwitsch idolised Rachmaninoff and was a close friend of the composer. Rachmaninoff saw Moiseiwitsch as his "spiritual heir." According to some sources, Benno recorded (1937) Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in a performance that Rachmaninov considered better than his own. Video source: @Piano Masters 20:06 Walter Gieseking - Piano Concerto No. 2, Mov. II (1940) * Gieseking here with Rachmaninoff's friend, conductor Wilhelm Mengelberg. Rachmaninoff greatly appreciated Gieseking's performance. 31:29 Simon Barere - Prelude Op.32 No.12 in G sharp minor (1947) * Rachmaninoff admired Simon Barere and called him a "pianistic genius". 33:59 Albert Ferber - Piano Concerto No. 1, Mov I. -Selection- (1947) * "Whilst in Switzerland he often played to Sergei Rachmaninoff although he never regarded the latter as a teacher in the conventional sense." 35:30 Gina Bachauer - Prelude B Minor Op. 32 no. 10 (1972) * She had some lessons with Sergei Rachmaninoff with whom she studied intermittently during the early 1930s. Bachauer: "Rachmaninov was an amazing pianist, with superb hands, and an uncanny technique. He did not attempt to teach me, he was not really a teacher. If I asked him—and this happened very often—‘How do you do that passage?’ the answer was always the same. He sat at the piano, illustrating it, and saying: ‘Like that.’ He could not explain what he wanted me to do. He would always add: ‘Don’t try to copy what I am doing. You must try again and again until you find your own way of doing it. When you will show me what you want to do with that phrase and if you can convince me, then it is right.’ He made me realize that there are several ways to interpreting the same phrase, as long as it is convincing, as long as this comes from one’s own judgement. He was very demanding and quite strict when it came to phrasing and rhythmic vitality and he wanted, above all, a complete involvement in the music.” 41:34 Ruth Slenczynska - Prelude Op.23 No.4 in D major (1984) * She had some lessons with Sergei Rachmaninoff. 45:00 Ezra Rachlin - Prelude Op. 23 No. 6 (1982) * "In 1937, at age 22, Rachlin featured Sergei Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto in an extensive tour of European capitals, and the composer, who had always shown keen interest in Rachlin's talent, prepared it with him." 48:22 Cyril Smith - Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, 18th Variation (1948) * Rachmaninoff's close friend. 50:56 Alexander Goldenweiser - Barcarolle in G Op. 10 No. 3 (1946) * Rachmaninoff's friend from Russia, also Rachmaninoff's Second Suite, Op. 17 was dedicated to him. 54:59 Alexander Siloti - Suite No. 2 for Two Pianos with Gounod's Faust (1930s) * Siloti is Rachmaninoff's cousin and one of his first piano teachers. In this somewhat impromptu recording, Siloti plays two themes from Gounod's song "Faust" and a melody from Rachmaninoff's Second Suite for two pianos.
