I feel that I instinctively knew what they needed."(Henryk Górecki) This short video is about the publicity surrounding the 1992 Nonesuch recording which has now sold over 1 million copies.

    Definitely "Yes" and easily one of the highest points in JB's Decca discography as far as I'm concerned. I can understand that people with no imagination, who hear nothing but wild rides, hunts and all sorts of excuses for rushing and banging in this music, are disappointed with JB's tempos. Not me. I consider these Studies poetic masterpieces of immense scope and power. I've yet to hear anybody come close to JB's sublime rendition. Even he couldn't do it himself in his earlier version for Ensayo (still less in the even earlier and incomplete RCA set). Even Claudio Arrau, one of JB's very few rivals in this repertoire, is not really in the same league. To compare Lazar Berman, a banger if there ever was one, with JB in the Transcendentals is beyond ridiculous. You might as well compare a random collection of letters with a Shakespearean soliloquy.

    I myself particularly like the étude of this video's soundtrack (No. 2 in A minor), which has sometimes been given the nickname of "Fusées" (Rockets, Fireworks). The title was apparently not approved by Liszt. It was added by Ferruccio Busoni in his edition of the Études.

    The show Williams was in was "One Over the Eight", a comedy revue which opened on 5 April, 1961 at the Duke of York's Theatre, London. It was written by Peter Cook (Harold Pinter was credited with additional material for the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon opening 31 January, but not the West End). The Evening News said it was "Scandalously funny". Kenneth Williams was one of the main ensemble in 26 of the 31 "Carry On" films, and appeared in many British television programmes and radio comedies, including series with Tony Hancock and Kenneth Horne, as well as being a regular panellist on BBC Radio 4's comedy panel show Just a Minute from its second series in 1968 until his death 20 years later. Williams was fondly regarded in the entertainment industry.

    Alicia Torra de Larrocha, the pianist's daughter, has informed me that the reason the recording never took place "is because her husband (my father) was very sick and she decided to cancel all her commitments (from June 1982) to be by his side. Finally, my father passed away on 9 August of that year surrounded by his wife and children. In September, she resumed her concerts. I was not aware of the recording project, but, since the dates coincide, I am sure that this was the reason. My mother greatly admired Jorge Bolet." "Quiero aclarar el porqué no se llevó a cabo la grabación que estaba prevista en 1982 del gran Jorge Bolet con mi madre. El motivo se debe a que su esposo (mi padre) estaba muy enfermo y ella decidió anular todos sus compromisos (desde el mes de junio 1982) para estar a su lado. Finalmente, mi padre falleció el 9 de agosto de ese año rodeado de su esposa e hijos. En septiembre, ella reanudó sus conciertos. Yo no tenía conocimiento del proyecto de la grabación, pero, como las fechas coinciden, estoy segura de que este fue el motivo. Mi madre admiraba mucho a Jorge Bolet."

      Bolet played in Vancouver on 16-18 November 1980 with the Symphony Orchestra under Kazuyoshi Akiyama. The Vancouver Sun 17.11.80 stated that this was "the city's début of the fabulous musician whose career of some 45 years has never really broken internationally":. He was replacing Lazar Berman, whose cancellation was announced early on the season. "It was like the substitution of one with another of equal if not greater brilliance." Lloyd Dykk reported that "I've never heard a more confiding, yet august performance of the Brahms second concerto. Even in the moments when he slid off a chord or lost some notes in a run - they mattered absolutely not at all. The majesty of his line sealed right through them." Manfred Gottfried wrote a letter to The Vancouver Sun on 22 November 1980 pointing out that it was erroneous to claim that this was Bolet's début with the Vancouver SO. "Vancouver audiences had the pleasure of Mr Bolet's great artistry in a number of concerts, when the orchestra was under the direction of Mr Irwin Hoffman. Many concertgoers will remember the brilliance demonstrated by this outstanding musician. Regrettably, for whatever reason, Vancouver audiences have been denied the privilege of hearing him over these many years." (I discovered that Jorge played there, for example, on Sunday, 1 November 1953, and was advertised for the 1954-55 season. On 12/13 January 1964 he played Beethoven's fourth piano concerto.) You may like to know that on 29 May 1977 Jorge was awarded Manitoba Order of the Buffalo Hunt for ‘artistic contribution to the Winnipeg Symphony’. I think this involved him putting on a buffalo hide for the ceremony!

    Magical and inventive playing. Very different to the dry rendition of purists such as Schiff but that is the beauty of the Goldbergs - this is music open to myriad interpretations.

    Most of this information comes from Jorge Bolet's producer at Decca, Peter Wadland (1946-1992). "When the history of the gramophone comes to be written, one name high on the list of major influences will be Peter Wadland... A chance meeting with Christopher Hogwood led to the foundation of the Academy of Ancient Music, and one of the most successful recording partnerships of the post- war years. The complete cycle of the Mozart symphonies launched in the late 1970s broke new ground in performance practice." (James Jolly)

    What were thy thinking!!! As I recall RCA were also the ones who, when Rachmaninov and Horowitz urged them to record the 2 of them playing the Symphonic Dances, basically said, "Thanks, but no thanks." Somehow despite those lapses in judgement, I'll allow that they have made some smart decisions over the years (e.g. Rubinstein).

    Jorge Bolet's career was a long and painstaking one; he only reached full international acclaim from the 1970s, despite many glowing reports. One thing that is especially about this review is the comment about his sound. That certainly changed as he grew and developed.
