Despite his poor physical\nhealth at the time, Spivakovsky rose to the occasion magnificently, as can\nbe heard by his tremendously vivacious playing. Particularly remarkable are\nthe scintillating cadenzas, which are very much in\nthe spirit of Bach’s time. However, he certainly does not replicate the\nkind of performance one might expect to hear on a harpsichord, instead\ntaking full advantage of the expressive means of the piano with his fluid\nphrasing, sumptuous tonal colours, and skillful use of dynamic gradations.\nThis is a truly vibrant interpretation that highlights the composer’s\nbrilliant use of counterpoint and beautiful melodic content.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe Bloch \u003cem\u003eConcerto\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e Symphonique \u003c\/em\u003ecomes from a 1951 concert\ngiven with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra under Sir Eugene Goossens: the\nAustralian premiere was broadcast on May 15 and Spivakovsky played it\nseveral times around the country over the next two years. He had discussed\nthe score with the composer himself while learning the work from the\nmanuscript, lending a degree of authenticity to a traversal that may be the\nearliest recorded performance of this composition. The pianist plays with\nverve in this impassioned reading of a work that is incredibly challenging\nfor all concerned (the conductor makes a timing error in the first movement\nfor which Spivakovsky had to compensate)! 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\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: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSPIVAKOVSKY  \u003c\/b\u003eBach to Bloch, Volume XI\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 17px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBACH-BUSONI\u003c\/b\u003e  Concerto No. 1 in D minor, BWV 1052\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. 1st mvt. - Allegro  (8:21)\u003cbr\u003e2. 2nd mvt. - Adagio  (8:20)\u003cbr\u003e3. 3rd mvt. - Allegro  (7:31)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAstra String Orchestra \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003econducted by\u003cb\u003e George Logie-Smith\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eRecorded January 1961\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 17px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBLOCH  \u003c\/b\u003eConcerto Symphonique for Piano and Orchestra\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4. 1st mvt. - Pesante  (14:14)\u003cbr\u003e5. 2nd mvt. - Allegro vivace  (12:55)\u003cbr\u003e6. 3rd mvt. - Allegro deciso  (9:43)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSydney Symphony Orchestra \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003econducted by\u003cb\u003e Sir Eugene Goossens\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eRecorded 1951\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 17px;\"\u003eJascha Spivakovsky\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 17px;\"\u003e    piano\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eXR remastered by Andrew Rose\u003cbr\u003eCover art based on a photograph of Jascha Spivakovsky with the original manuscript of the Bach\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e© and (P) 2020 Pristine Audio \u0026amp;
