– Nikita Magaloff In Recital – Frick Collection Concerts – July 6, 1986 – WNYC-New York – Part 2
The legendary Russian-born Pianist Nikita Magaloff in recital this week. Recorded in concert during the Frick Collection series, Magaloff is featured in a recital of music by Scarlatti, Beethoven, Debussy, Stravinsky and Chopin – broadcast on July 6, 1986.
Here’s what’s on the players:
Part 1: (Top Player)
1. Scarlatti: 3 Sonatas
2. Beethoven: Sonata in E-major op. 109
3. Debussy: Images – series 2
4. Stravinsky: 4 Studies from Opus 7Part 2: (Bottom Player)
1. Chopin: 24 Preludes from Opus 28 + encores
Magaloff had a long career and played many premiers during that time. He played with all the major symphony orchestras of the world under some of the greatest conductors of the 20th century. It was said that, as he got older, his playing become more impassioned and charged with a sense of great elegance. This concert, recorded some 6 years before his death, bears that out very well.
Enjoy.
And since it’s Anti-Road Rage Wednesday (or Thursday Morning Commute), this is what we run every week – a little change and a small break from the rest of the week (except Sunday). There are a lot of classical fans out there, and a lot of people who are just getting acquainted with it. That’s one of the things Past Daily does every week – turn you on to things you may have missed, or always wondered about. And a few times a year we go asking for your support, your tax deductible contributions, to help us keep this up and to expand on it. You may not know, we have over 5,000 posts so far – and a few hundred of them are Classical music concerts, just like this one – historic concerts, new concerts, concerts from all over the world. We bring it all to you and we do it every day. All we ask is to chip in the price of a cup of coffee or maybe a bit more, if you feel like it. But we need your help. We’ll be over the Fall Fundraiser in a few days, and we’re a long way from reaching our goal. But you can still help, by pledging your support and telling your friends so we can keep this service up and vital, giving you the best. So please, click on the link in the box below and make your pledge tonight (or tomorrow morning). We’re here because you are – and so many of you have been so supportive of us in the past. We want to keep it going. We will.
