The opening piece, Bach's \u003ci\u003eFantasia in C minor\u003c\/i\u003e, originated from an acetate disc Spivakovsky made in 1948. These were particularly delicate, designed for no more than a handful of replays before they begin to deteriorate, and are easily damaged. The disc in question was reasonably well preserved for its age, but there was some surface damage too severe to remove - I could only try to minimise its impact on the performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThereafter we have a series of taped recordings made in different environments and with different microphones and equipment using different pianos on tapes of varying quality. In remastering these I have aimed for the best possible quality from each individual recording first and foremost, rather than trying to make each sound the same. This does mean there's a certain lack of continuity of sound, though of course not of performer. Happily the performances themselves are of such quality than any tonal jumps between pianos will quickly be forgotten as each new performance takes hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, if you're wondering why this series is \"From Bach to Bloch\", it's simple: by the time we've finished, Bach will be the earliest composer in the series, dates-wise, Bloch the latest, with a whole lot of other fine music in between!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Rose\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pristine-boxset-track-listing--item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pristine-boxset-track-listing--item--heading\"\u003eSPIVAKOVSKY Bach to Bloch, Volume 8 (1955-67) - PAKM080\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pristine-boxset-track-listing--item--content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis 8th volume devoted to the artistry of Jascha Spivakovsky features an\narray of solo works ranging from Baroque through late Romantic periods. All\nof these performances showcase the pianist’s musical versatility and\nremarkable interpretative abilities, his trademark crystalline transparency\nof texture and beauty of tone ever-present as he respects key stylistic\nparameters of each era while bringing individual touches to his\ninterpretations.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nSpivakovsky’s affinity with the music of Beethoven has been evident from\nthe six sonata readings issued in previous volumes and is now even more\napparent in the stellar 1955 and 1957 broadcast performances of two more in\nthis volume. In these less frequently played early sonatas - Op.14 No.1 and\nOp.27 No.1 - the pianist’s magnificent clarity, rhythmic precision, and\nmindfully crafted phrasing serve to highlight both structure and character.\nParticularly notable is his capacity to provide emphasis without distorting\nthe melodic line or hardening tonal quality: boldly shaped runs and\naccented octaves are never harsh yet provide the strong contrasts idiomatic\nto Beethoven’s writing, all the while sustaining the lyrical elements of\nthe music.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nA 1960 ABC broadcast of Schumann’s \u003cem\u003eArabeske\u003c\/em\u003e finds Spivakovsky\nplaying with fluid phrasing and sumptuous tone, his skilled pedalling\nenhancing colour without sullying the overall texture. The three Chopin\nworks presented here from a 1967 ABC TV broadcast were featured elsewhere\nin this series in different interpretations, yet these later traversals\nhelp us to better appreciate variations and similarities in the pianist’s\napproach. Aged 70 at the time of the transmission (of which only the audio\nsurvives) and having already curtailed his international touring schedule\ndue to a health crisis, Spivakovsky shows no diminution in his power or\ntechnical capacity, yet he eschews bombastic showmanship to temper strength\nwith lyricism. The G Minor Ballade features the same breadth and\nexpansiveness as the 1966 home practice session, with some differences in\ntiming and phrasing.

Time stands still as his burnished singing line in the middle\nsection soars over the detached accompaniment. Two works by Brahms find the\nartist at his best, with wonderfully transparent layering and legato\nphrasing on his prized 1910 Blüthner recorded at his home in 1961. He plays\nin a manner similar to what can be heard in recordings made by pianists who\nknew the composer, with a vitality of rhythm and clarity of texture often\nlacking from the overly-serious readings of today. Jascha brings a unique\ncombination of poise, enthusiasm, and wit to these performances, with\nsupple phrasing and nuancing in the Intermezzo Op.119 No.3 and buoyancy and\nvivaciousness in the Capriccio Op.76 No.2.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nWith the final ‘encore’ of \u003cem\u003eLa Campanella\u003c\/em\u003e - one of the few\nrecordings we have of Spivakovsky playing Liszt - the 70-year-old pianist\ncloses his 1967 television broadcast and this compilation with dazzling\nfinger work, deftly-defined articulation, and glistening tone.

These readings of the great composer’s final two piano concertos find Spivakovsky in his twilight years playing with a fusion of unwavering technical prowess and musical depth, his half-century of concert experience infusing his readings with conviction and command. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis recording of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No.4 in G Major, Op.58 comes from an ABC Radio studio broadcast in Melbourne made on January 7, 1961 with the Victorian State Orchestra conducted by Clive Douglas. The circumstances surrounding this reading are rather remarkable and moving: this is the first performance Spivakovsky gave after the surgery that nearly killed him a mere six weeks earlier, the pianist leaving his sickbed for the first time when his son drove him to the studio for the rehearsal and performance. Listening to the recording, one would never know that he had been ailing or had not practiced since his surgery, nor that there had been only one run-through just prior to the actual broadcast. Apparently the conductor had missed several entries in the rehearsal, leading Spivakovsky to beat pulses more strongly at times to improve the likelihood of the orchestra entering on time. The excellent sound of this broadcast captures to perfection the crystalline piano tone praised by legendary critic Neville Cardus, and Spivakovsky plays throughout with exquisite clarity and subtle pedalling (the second movement is sublime) in an interpretation that combines refined nuancing with earthy robustness, reflecting Beethoven’s own bridging of divinely inspired music with the physical world.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeethoven’s Emperor Concerto hails from a January 18, 1953 broadcast on the BBC General Overseas Service as part of the ‘Concerto’ series with the BBC Scottish Orchestra conducted by Ian Whyte. The performance, given in front of an invited audience of 100 people, was captured via shortwave and therefore suffers from limited sonic fidelity. In 1959 Spivakovsky would give another broadcast of the work for the BBC in vastly better sound, but the pianist himself was not permitted to obtain a copy due to regulations requiring that the source material be destroyed after three transmissions, so the present release uses the only known recording of the artist in this concerto. As in all of the pianist's Beethoven performances, his rhythmic pulse provides propulsion without sacrificing lyricism, harmonic and melodic elements are clearly delineated, and voicing is uncannily transparent, resulting in a grand and heroic interpretation of this popular work. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese riveting performances by Jascha Spivakovsky are a significant addition to his discography and give the listener a greater appreciation for his unique musicianship and pianism. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Ainley\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pristine-boxset-track-listing--item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pristine-boxset-track-listing--item--heading\"\u003eSPIVAKOVSKY Bach to Bloch, Volume 10 (1927-1956) - PASC579\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pristine-boxset-track-listing--item--content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 10th volume of recordings of Jascha Spivakovsky, the Ukrainian-born pianist who died without having released any commercial solo discs, continues with two 1950s appearances with orchestra and a fascinating bonus of the earliest known recordings of the pianist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpivakovsky enjoyed a warm relationship with the French conductor Pierre Monteux, whose autographed photo still resides on the pianist’s Steinway in the family home, so it is unfortunate that only one recording with this duo has been found. This April 6, 1952 \u003ci\u003eStandard Hour\u003c\/i\u003e broadcast with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra features the final two movements of Mozart’s \u003ci\u003ePiano Concerto No.23 in A Major K.488\u003c\/i\u003e, all that were programmed for this appearance (soloists frequently played only a movement or two on these programs). An earlier concert recording of the entire work was released in Volume 5 of this Bach to Bloch series, but the excellent sound quality of this particular reading - as well as the exquisite beauty of Spivakovsky’s interpretation - warrants its release. The pianist’s crystalline tone and supple phrasing are a marvel to behold, his playing as lyrically sumptuous in the second movement as it is vibrant in the third. While Monteux introduces some unexpected tempo shifts in orchestral tuttis in the final movement, these do not detract from the wonderful rapport between the soloist and orchestra, the textures and balance being particularly accomplished. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeethoven was among Spivakovsky’s greatest loves and his readings of the concertos won him praise around the globe. The January 28, 1956 BBC broadcast of the \u003ci\u003ePiano Concerto No.4 in G Major\u003c\/i\u003e is a different but equally compelling performance to the 1961 Melbourne account issued in Volume 7. While the previously released traversal finds the pianist, who had suffered a major medical emergency, giving a rather robust reading, the interpretation presented here is more consistently spiritual and reverential in approach. Despite less-than-ideal microphone placement, we can easily admire the pianist’s golden sonority, burnished phrasing, impeccable timing, and refined nuancing in this truly inspired performance - as ideal an account of this work as one could hope to hear. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe closing of this volume will come as a surprise to those familiar with the fact that Spivakovsky never released a solo recording. The pianist went to the Parlophone studios in Berlin several times to accompany his violinist brother Tossy on some of his records, and on November 19, 1927 he made one test disc as a soloist. However, Jascha was unsatisfied with the limited tonal range of the record, and as a result his only solo studio effort was never issued. We present here for the first time the artist’s performances of Chopin’s \u003ci\u003eNocturne in F-Sharp Major Op.15 No.2\u003c\/i\u003e and Liszt’s \u003ci\u003eLiebestraum No.3\u003c\/i\u003e from that studio session. In both works, Spivakovsky’s tonal colours, peaked phrasing, and incredibly broad dynamic range are appreciable despite the frequency range limitations of this 90-plus-year-old recording. Especially noteworthy is the pianist’s spacious timing at transition points (his rubato is beautifully coordinated with adjustments in dynamic levels) and his burnished lines soar above his measured accompaniment. Fans of historical recordings will be able to appreciate more here than the pianist himself could and will surely be grateful that this incredibly rare test disc (only one copy is known to exist) is now available. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Ainley\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTechnical note\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two radio recordings, both dating from the 1950s, were generally in excellent condition, though the 1952 NBC recording improves on the 1956 BBC recording in a number of ways, not least the microphone position with relation to the piano, which in the later recording is somewhat distant. Alas this is something that cannot be changed 63 years after the event.

As always, we hear him playing\nwith beauty of tone, clarity of texture, and elegant phrasing - there is\nnever a harsh sound even when the music has dissonance.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nWith this final \u003cem\u003eBach to Bloch\u003c\/em\u003e release featuring Jascha Spivakovsky\nas piano soloist, we are more than ever able to appreciate the breadth of\nthis great pianist’s repertoire and the magnitude of his highly individual\ninterpretative abilities.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nMark Ainley\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_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\u003cdiv class=\"pristine-boxset-track-listing--heading\"\u003eClick below to expand track listing:\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"pristine-boxset-track-listing\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pristine-boxset-track-listing--item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pristine-boxset-track-listing--item--heading\"\u003eSPIVAKOVSKY Bach to Bloch, Volume 1 (1955-67) - PAKM065\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pristine-boxset-track-listing--item--content\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBACH-LISZT\u003c\/b\u003e The Great Organ Fantasy \u0026amp; Fugue in G Minor, BWV 542 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eRecorded Melbourne, November 1963\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBEETHOVEN\u003c\/b\u003e Sonata No. 21 in C Major Op. 53 (Waldstein)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eRecorded Melbourne, around October 1967\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCHOPIN\u003c\/b\u003e Ballade No. 1 in G Minor Op. 23\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eRecorded Melbourne, December 1966\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBRAHMS\u003c\/b\u003e Romanze in F Major Op. 118 No. 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eRecorded  c.
