Myra Hess, piano
BURGMEIN: Pierrot & Pierrette’s Story

Myra Hess and Harold Bauer, piano
Although her fame today is as a harpsichordist, Landowska never abandoned the piano. Her interpretations of Beethoven and Mozart on this disc are such that we, today, consider her style to be in advance of her time. Forgoing the rallentando and the imprecise cording to be found in the playing of many pianists of her day, she held concert audiences spellbound throughout her career. She made rolls for Hupfeld, Welte and Aeolian spanning some twenty-five years of her concert work. Beethoven’s Andante Favori is played here with affection and great beauty of tone, while she will be found to be incomparable in the eighteenth century music. It must not be forgotten that she was a pupil of Moriz Rosenthal and that she grew up in the era of high Romanticism. This gives her performances a special interest to listeners who value style as we know it today Dame Myra Hess was born in London, she studied with Tobias Matthay at the Royal Academy of Music. He regarded her as a most exceptional talent. The dozen or so rolls she made for the Duo-Art piano give a good idea of her repertoire. The Beethoven Sonata Op.79 and the two Brahms pieces demonstrate the dedication in her playing, while the Scarlatti Sonata, the Paradisi Sonata and the little Bach Toccata show off her impeccable technique. She was created Dame Commander of the British Empire in 1941 for her work organizing concerts in London during the blitz. Her playing for the Duo-Art is characterized by warmth, thoughtfulness and taste.

Cecile Chaminade, piano
Recording her playing only for the Duo-Art reproducing piano, Genevieve Pitot was a pupil of Alfred Cortot. Born in New Orleans of French parents she began her musical studies at the age of eight. She made her debut in Paris and toured Europe and the United States extensively. She recorded fifty-five items for the Duo-Art. Pitot’s performance of Strauss’s Tales From the Vienna Woods is marvelously refreshing. Seventy-five years ago when this roll was first issued it was not easy to obtain satisfactory recordings of the orchestral version of such works, let alone those delightful café orchestra versions complete with zither. So piano roll manufacturers released straight forward performances, which are now unique. We all know the exciting arrangements of Strauss waltzes by such men as Godowsky, Rosenthal and Cherkassky, but here is a simple version, which is direct and uncomplicated. Pitot’s playing, generally, is natural; it is ideal for the kind of repertoire that this disc contains. All of the performances of Mme. Chaminade’s music on this disc are by the composer. They were recorded in the London laboratories of the Aeolian Company for the Duo-Art reproducing piano in 1921. These sessions were the only ones that she made for any reproducing piano. A quick grasp of the style to be found in her work may be had from hearing her play Guitar from Op.32. The crisp, brilliant playing found here is typical of her playing. The best-known piece on this disc is her Concert Study Op.35 Autumn, which she plays confidently and with considerable charm. She toured the world as a concert pianist from the 1890's to the 1930's having great success wherever she went. More than seventy of her pieces were available to owners of reproducing pianos, many of them played by the finest pianists of the day - Rudolph Ganz, Yolanda Mero, Fanny Bloomfield Zeisler, Michael von Zadora and Marguerite Volavy all played her pieces.

Paquita Madriguera Segovia, piano
Like so many concert pianists Mme. Segovia was a prodigy. She was playing in public from the age of five. Born in Barcelona in 1900, she studied at the Granados Academy of Music there, first with Frank Marshall and then with Granados. She made her debut as a concert pianist when eleven years old. In the 1920's she became the wife of Andrea Segovia. The seventeen items on this disc appear to be the entire legacy of Mme. Segovia’s piano playing. DAL SEGNO 015 is the fifth and penultimate volume in The Great Female Pianists series. Some of these rolls are nearly 100 years old and come from a collection owned by Denis Condon who is one of the worlds most respected authorities on the piano roll and has some 18,000 in his collection. He also can construct the machines that read the rolls. We can vouch for the authenticity of the rolls as each was signed by the pianist/composer. These recordings were made in 1992 and recorded on a brand new Yamaha Concert Grand under Denis’s supervision. These recordings have by far a better overall sound performance than any other which were recorded using older equipment. They are the only ones of their kind in existence.
