Pianists—their lives, performances, and recordings—are detailed
in this two-volume set. Each biographical essay emphasizes musical
background and training, special influences on development,
significant performances, and more. Performance is analyzed and
emphasis given to style and repertoire. For those pianists who
recorded, there are selective discographies and reviews of
outstanding recordings. The authors attended many performances and
often supply a personal dimension to the discussions. This readable
work, containing extensive documented coverage of 100 artists, will
be appreciated by scholar, student, and music buff alike. As a
sourcebook, this work contains biographical data; style analyses
(culled from reviews, recordings, articles, and essays);
pedagogical history and methods, when applicable; lists of selected
references and reviews; and a representative discography. The
result is an objective, thorough presentation of the lives and
performances of 100 notable pianists. The list initially derived
from correspondence with pianists and pedagogues in music
conservatories and colleges throughout the United States and after
eight years of research in both libraries and concert halls. The
text reads easily (and is fascinating), but the vast amount of
information and the careful scientific analysis make it a scholarly
work of the highest order, useful to graduate students as well as
the general public.
