Puerto Rican born Jesus Maria Sanroma (1902-1984) was one of the
leading pianists in the United States. After graduating from the
New England Conservatory, he embarked on an enviable concert career
as official pianist for the Boston Symphony Orchestra, as well as
soloist with other leading American orchestras. He was an
accompanist, a recording artist, and a teacher, and he also
stimulated and commissioned composers to write new music, fueled by
his eagerness to present it to the general public. Jesus Maria
Sanroma: An American Twentieth-Century Pianist is the first
biography of this talented performer and one of the first books
written about a native Puerto Rican classical musician. The book
depicts many facets of Sanroma's life: his youth in Puerto Rico;
his training at the Conservatory and abroad; his amazing concert
career and collaboration with first-class musicians, conductors,
and composers; his historical performances and recordings; and the
zenith of his musical life when he returned home. Alberto Hernandez
provides abundant information about Sanroma's life, career, and
professional relationships, uniquely documenting the pianist's
close association and collaboration with Paul Hindemith, Serge
Koussevitzky, Walter Piston, Nicolas Slonimsky, Vladimir Dukelsky,
Mrs. Edward MacDowell, Arthur Fiedler, William Primrose, and many
others. Two appendixes offer the complete sound archives and a list
of Sanroma's impressive orchestra repertory, making this book a
valuable reference as well as an informative read for music lovers
and students of American and Latin American history.
