Appian Publications & Recordings ; 1994; 1870295048; Rilegato con titoli in oro al dorso, sovracoperta; 22 x 16 cm; pp. XVIII-473; Illustrazioni e fotografie b./n. ; Presenta leggeri segni d'uso ai bordi (piccole imperfezioni), interno senza scritte, lievi fioriture ai tagli; Buono, (come da foto). ; The first-ever biography of the pianist Solomon begins in London's East End where he was born in 1902. Despite these humble origins, within a very few years Solomon was hailed as a 'child- genius'. This wunderkind was indeed capable of awesome pianistic feats, be it a gleeful romp through Liszt's Hungarian Fantasia or the fearless assault of Brahms's monumental first piano concerto. The author presents an absorbing picture of the extraordinary rise and inevitable disintegration of one of the most astonishing prodigies in recent musical history. It was only after a lengthy and painful period of rehabilitation, a time when Solomon totally restructured his approach to the keyboard, that he felt able to work again. (As we discover, his experiences were to make him a highly sympathetic if demanding teacher.) Thus began an extended period of unstinting, dedicated work all very necessary if Solomon was to establish himself against a tidal wave of fêted foreign pianists and combat the general indifference to home-grown artists that was so prevalent in Britain during the 1920s and 1930s. It was only after exceptional war work at home and abroad that Solomon belatedly won international recognition. Within an extraordinarily short time he became a stellar figure of the concert platform. American critics, for example, found in Solomon's playing 'the spiritual profundity of a Schnabel and the virtuosity of a Horowitz. a miracle which has not often been granted the world's great piano literature'. ; L'immagine se disponibile, corrisponde alla copia in vendita.
