As in previous releases, the\nlistener can marvel at the glorious pianism of a musician who left behind\nno commercial solo discs and who is today enjoying worldwide appreciation\nby a new generation of piano fans.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis compilation opens with a live recording of \u003cem\u003eGavottes I \u0026amp; II\u003c\/em\u003e from Bach’s \u003cem\u003eEnglish Suite No.3\u003c\/em\u003e, an\nencore at a 1961 concert that took place shortly after Spivakovsky’s\nrelease from hospital (the same week as the Beethoven \u003cem\u003eConcerto No.4\u003c\/em\u003e from Volume 7 and the same concert as the\nBach-Busoni \u003cem\u003eD Minor Concerto\u003c\/em\u003e from a future release). Jascha plays\nwith his trademark rhythmic vitality and clarity of voicing in a reading\nthat also showcases his beautiful tone and fluid phrasing.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe centrepiece of this disc is a stirring account of Brahms’ titanic \u003cem\u003eSonata No.3 in F Minor\u003c\/em\u003e, a key work in Spivakovsky’s repertoire.\nThe second movement was one of his favourite works in the entire piano\nliterature, which might easily be surmised when listening to his poetic\nreading: time stands still with his magical pacing and sumptuous phrasing.\nThe entire performance is grandly conceived, his noble approach never\ntipping into the bombast often heard in the work, thanks to his lyrical\nphrasing and transparent textures.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nUnfortunately, the final moments of the last movement were missing from the\ntape that the ABC provided the pianist of the 1953 broadcast. After much\ndeliberation as to whether issue an incomplete recording or not release it\nat all, it was decided that Jascha’s son Michael would a skilled\nstudent on how his father played these passages so as to complete the\nperformance - a small price to pay to be able to enjoy such a glorious\naccount of this masterpiece by this great artist.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA series of shorter works enable us to appreciate Spivakovsky’s tremendous\nversatility and masterful music-making. His account of Mendelssohn’s \u003cem\u003eVenetian Gondola Song\u003c\/em\u003e is characterized by its fluid melodic line\nand emotive timing, while Glazunov’s rarely-played \u003cem\u003eGavotte in D Major\u003c\/em\u003e is notable for its rhythmic buoyancy, deft\narticulation, and poised voicing. Debussy’s \u003cem\u003eDr. Gradus ad Parnassum\u003c\/em\u003e features beautiful textures and attentive\nshaping, while Rachmaninoff’s \u003cem\u003ePrelude in G Major\u003c\/em\u003e has a soaring\nsinging line and rich rubato. A fascinating rarity are two works by\nNorwegian composer Harald Saeverud (the first was dedicated to Jascha) that\ncapture to perfection the pianist’s gorgeous tonal palette and masterful\npedal technique.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nKabelevsky’s \u003cem\u003eSonata No.3\u003c\/em\u003e is presented here in a mid-1950s BBC\nbroadcast (a later home recording was issued in Vol.1 of this series): this\nmagnificent interpretation is both refined and impassioned, Spivakovsky’s\ntonal colours and subtle timing highlighting the dramatic nature of the\nwork. To close, we have Liadov’s \u003cem\u003eMusical Snuff Box\u003c\/em\u003e (with the\nspoken announcement to this encore concert performance by Jascha himself),\nplayed with glistening tonal and pedal effects - a delightful conclusion to\nyet another revealing collection of marvellous performances by the great\nJascha Spivakovsky.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Ainley\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 20px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSPIVAKOVSKY \u003c\/b\u003eBach to Bloch, Volume 9\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eBACH  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eEnglish Suite No. 3 in G minor, BWV 808\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
