Michael ZaretskyBorn in the former Soviet Union, Michael Zaretsky graduated from Moscow State Conservatory cum laude. He began his career as a member of the Moscow Philharmonic String Quartet and later of the Moscow Radio and TV Symphony Orchestra. In 1972 he immigrated to Israel and became principal violist of the Jerusalem Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra and a soloist of Radio Israel. The following year, he played for Leonard Bernstein who brought him to Tanglewood, where he successfully auditioned for the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Besides being a member of the BSO for the past thirty-two years, Mr. Zaretsky regularly plays solo recitals and chamber music in the U.S., having appeared with some of the leading artists of our time, including Yuri Bashmet, Yefim Bronfman, Emanuel Ax and Vadim Repin. In addition, he has soloed with the Boston Pops, the Rhode Island Philharmonic and Atlantic Symphony Orchestra. A faculty member at Boston University and the Longy School of Music, Mr. Zaretsky regularly performs in Israel, Japan, and Mexico. In addition to the traditional viola repertoire, Michael Zaretsky performs an extensive repertoire of new music. His collaboration with composer Jakov Jakoulov has resulted in many works for viola with piano, with harpsichord, and with orchestra. In July 2003, Mr. Zaretsky was soloist with the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra in a performance of Jakoulov's Viola Concerto No. 2, a work written for him. Also in summer 2003, he appeared as soloist with the Georgian Chamber Orchestra at the International Music Festival directed by Liana Issakadze in Borjomi, Republic of Georgia. He has made three highly acclaimed recordings for the ARTONA label; the first, Black Snow, an album of Russian music for viola and piano with pianist Xak Bjerken, was included in Fanfare magazine's 1999 "Want List." Bach, Bach & Bach, with harpsichordist Marina Minkin, was released in September 1999, and Singular Voices: Brahms, Schumann, and the Viola, also with Mr. Bjerken along with mezzo-soprano Pamela Delall, was released in the fall of 2000. In December 2004 the label released Mr. Zaretsky's viola performances of J.S. Bach's Six Cello Suites, recorded in Symphony Hall.

"Once again, Foo wows with her touch, clarity and naturalness. She 'sings' this music with beguiling innocence and with vivid yet integral decoration.....This release is an impressive calling-card and is well worth attention". Colin Anderson, International Piano, September 2005"Foo is a pianist to watch. Her playing of the opening of the Schubert will stay in my mind for a long time and quite clearly she thinks very deeply about the music she plays. Not only this, she also communicates to the audience and I look forward to hearing her again". Rob Pennock, Wigmore Hall review, May 2005"Her Prokofiev Third Piano Concerto was quite something else. She attacked it with a ferocity and bloodlust as if her very existence depended on it. I have never witnessed Martha Argerich perform this warhorse of hers but judging by her recordings, I can only imagine Foo's devil-may-care, on-the-edge-of-sanity performance to be approaching that level of pianistic sorcery(....)a special unclassifiable talent." Chang Tou Liang, Artistic Director Singapore International Piano Festival, 2005 Mei Yi Foo is fast becoming one of the most respected young artists of her generation. Since the release of her critically acclaimed debut recording for Tzar Records in 2005, Mei Yi has been hailed "a pianist to watch" by BBC Radio 3 and as a "Rising Star" by International Piano Magazine. Recent performances at venues like Wigmore Hall have earned her reputation as an outstanding musician with a truly distinctive character and as a pianist who is at home in repertoire ranging from Bach to Ligeti. Foo's early training in her home country of Malaysia enabled her to perform extensively throughout Asia, exposure which earned her invitations to play for the Malaysian Royal Family and the Prime-Minister. Numerous radio and television appearances were to follow and at the age of thirteen, Mei Yi won her first international piano competition, Vertuosi per Musica di Pianoforte in the Czech Republic. Since her arrival in the United Kingdom in 1996, Mei Yi has captivated audiences at the Royal Festival Hall, Wigmore Hall, Purcell Room, Wallace Collection and Steinway Hall. Concerto appearances have brought her into collaboration with the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, Hong Kong Sinfonietta, London Chamber Orchestra, Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, under conductors Eduardo Browne, János Fürst, Christopher Warren-Green, Odeline de la Martinez and John Stogårds. Recent engagements have included recitals in Hamburg (Spiegelsaal), Munich (Steinway Haus), Hong Kong (City Hall), Santander (Palacio de Festivales) and Vienna (Schönberg Centre) and at the HSBC Classics Piano Festival 2005 launching the newly built Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre. Outside her busy soloist concert schedule, Mei Yi is an enthusiastic chamber musician. ...
| | Brahms: Piano Pieces Op 76, Handel Variations Op 24 / Vera Breheda CD (2009)
Bach, Bach And Bach
$14.69
Review of this CD:Vera Breheda's recording of the 8 Piano Pieces Op. 76 conveys all their romance and tenderness, from the essentially intimate pieces which the composer calls "intermezzi", to the fiery and passionate ones to which he gives the deceptive title "Caprices". These last have all the breathtaking sweep and virtuosity one could desire without becoming mere virtuoso display. The subtleties of Brahms' thought are clothed in the most enchanting sounds, from dreamy repose the utmost fervour and agitation... The recorded sound is warm and spacious. The earlier Handel Variations round out the disc. These were apparently taken from a live performance and although the sound is less pristine, Breheda's performance is no less convincing, both emotionally and intellectually. This is a "must have" disc for all Brahms-lovers.Jerry Kuderna, Berkeley, CAVera Breheda, born in Hamburg, Germany of Ukrainian parents, came to the U. S at age three. She spent her early childhood in Buffalo, New York where piano and dance consumed most of her after school time. Her early memories were of her parents singing folk songs of their native Ukraine. At age 11, Vera's family moved to San Francisco where she soon became a scholarship piano student of Alma Harrington, Adolph Baller, and Marcus Gordon at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Within several years, she was soloist with the San Francisco Symphony in a special youth concert. She continued her studies with Martin Canin at SUNY Stony Brook, and Leonard Shure in Boston, and in 1983 gave her New York recital debut at Carnegie Recital Hall (Weill Recital Hall). Performing music of many styles, from Baroque to 21st century, Vera Breheda's concertizing has taken her from San Francisco, to New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Seattle, as well as to Germany Austria, Czechoslovakia and Russia. Vera Breheda has appeared as ...
