Genre: Classical

Herbert von Karajan was the most renowned conductor to emerge from Europe in the post-World War II era – and through fortuitous timing throughout his career, and in spite of controversy that dogged his early years, he was the most recorded conductor of the 20th century, and is likely to remain one of the most visible (and biggest-selling) conductors well into the 21st century. Born in Salzburg and descended from a family of Greek origin with deep roots in Austria – including scholars and physicians in Vienna and Salzburg – he was a music prodigy, playing the piano at three and playing his first recital a year later.

Maurizio Pollini Entrer dans l’univers mental de Maurizio Pollini n’est pas chose aisée, car, avec lui, l’expression naît de l’ascèse, de l’austérité et de la rigueur, mais, ces épreuves une fois franchies, le bonheur est au bout du chemin. Sensibilité, raffinement, couleurs, poésie sont là à vous tendre les bras. Si l’on a souvent parlé de l’aspect marmoréen de ce piano précis, transparent, presque décharné, c’est que le pianiste a horreur de tout ce qui peut paraître extérieur. Son refus du pathos est presque phobique et tout son art consiste à rechercher le point d’équilibre entre un discours rationnel et l’élan émotionnel avec, quelquefois, le risque de paraître froid et distant.

Herbert von Karajan Chef d’orchestre le plus médiatisé du monde, mais aussi homme de pouvoir voulant tout régir, homme d’affaires innovateur, travailleur intransigeant, par ailleurs fou de voile, de bolides, d’avion et de technologie tout en étant passionné de yoga et de bouddhisme, Herbert von Karajan est considéré partout dans le monde comme une figure mythique, inséparable de Salzbourg, sa ville natale, tant le chef autrichien a façonné comme il l’entendait la vie culturelle de la ville en en faisant un haut-lieu de la scène musicale ; il est aussi connu comme le champion de l’interprétation beethovenienne et l’interprète qui aura le plus enregistré au monde (près d’un millier de disques DGG, Decca, EMI). Qu’il soit porté aux nues ou controversé, il restera sans conteste comme la personnalité marquante de la direction d’orchestre au XXe siècle, dont le remarquable instinct musical aura lancé bon nombre de jeunes chanteurs ou instrumentistes.

he Boston Symphony Orchestra is one of the most prominent U.S. symphonic ensembles, with deep roots in the Germanic practices that formed the model for American orchestral culture.

The Boston Symphony Orchestra was formed in 1881 with principal support from banker Henry Lee Higginson, who also spearheaded the construction of Symphony Hall and its opening in 1900.

Thomas Quasthoff was a thalidomide baby, growing to only about four feet tall and, in common with many of his fellow victims of the drug, has severely undeveloped arms. However, his voice and breathing apparatus are normal – if a bass-baritone voice that is uncommonly magnificent can be considered normal. When Quasthoff reached school age, he was assigned, according to government policy, to school programs designed for children with cerebral palsy. A lively, intelligent, and artistic child, Quasthoff clearly needed the stimulation of normal schooling, which a change in policy soon permitted.

Leonard Bernstein No figure in 20th century American classical music had as prominent or controversial a career – or did more to sell classical music to the general public as something genuinely exciting, and worth getting into a sweat over – than Leonard Bernstein. For more than 30 years, from his assumption of the post of Music Director of the New York Philharmonic in 1958 until the final concerts that he conducted in obviously failing health near the end of his life in 1990, he was the most prominent and widely recognized American-born conductor in the world, and the dominant personality in American classical music as both a conductor and, to a lesser degree, a composer.

Pianist Rudolf Buchbinder is an important specialist in core Austro-Germanic repertory, bringing precision and taste to music from Haydn to Brahms. He was a pioneering champion of Haydn's keyboard music, recording that composer's complete piano sonatas in the 1970s. Buchbinder was born in Litomerice, Czechoslovakia, on December 1, 1946, as the region's ethnically German inhabitants were being expelled by order of the Czech government. He grew up in Austria and attended the Vienna Academy of Music, where he studied with Bruno Seidlhofer. Something of a prodigy, Buchbinder took a piano trio prize at the Munich International Festival in 1961 and earned a Dinu Lipatti Medal the following year.

Die Sängerknaben stehen in der Tradition der Hofsängerknaben (Hofcapell-Singknaben), die am 30. Juni 1498 vom deutschen König und späteren Kaiser Maximilian I. mit der Verlegung des Hofes von Innsbruck nach Wien begründet wurden. Keimzelle waren die viel älteren Wiltener Sängerknaben. Von denen hat Maximilian ein paar nach Wien mitgenommen. Sie standen unter der Leitung des vormaligen Kantors Georg von Slatkonia, der ab diesem Zeitpunkt auch Leiter der Wiener Hofmusikkapelle war. Die Aufgabe des Chores, dem auf Anordnung Maximilians sechs Knaben angehören sollten und der später auf 14 bis 20 Knaben erweitert wurde, war die musikalische Gestaltung der Heiligen Messe. Bis 1918 musizierte die Hofmusikkapelle ausschließlich für den Hof, bei Messen, privaten Festen und zu Staatsanlässen. 1920 wurde die Wiener Hofmusikkapelle aufgelöst, doch der damalige Rektor Josef Schnitt setzte sich für eine Fortführung der Tradition ein. 1924 wurden die Wiener Sängerknaben offiziell als Verein gegründet und bis heute zu einem professionellen Musikbetrieb ausgebaut.

In Russell Oberlin we may marvel at probably one of the greatest vocal wonders of the 20th century. In terms of beauty of sound, virtuosity, expressiveness and naturalness of vocalization, the American singer can undoubtedly be considered the father of all modern countertenors - and this despite the fact that, or precisely because, unlike almost all male tweeters, he did not have to resort to the fragile head voice. He was able to lead his natural tenor voice easily and effortlessly over two octaves into the alto range, making his singing sound powerful, masculine, and homogeneous and intonationally secure across all registers.

Classical pianist who enjoyed his greatest success after relocating to Germany. During a concert tour of Boulez in Leningrad in the autumn of 1968, in a period of relative cultural openness (shortly after the Prague Spring and the invasion of the Warsaw Pact troops), Ugorski's enthusiastic applause was interpreted as a political gesture. He was summoned by the Rectorate and suspected of being politically unreliable, because of his passion for Western contemporary music. His career was stopped for more than ten years and he was confined to work in the provinces, as accompanist of a Young Pioneers choir. Although the choir was only allowed to perform for provincial schoolchildren and in private performances within the Eastern Bloc, their concerts were well-attended.
