|
||
Ce pianiste juif d'origine polonaise faillt périr dans les camps. Il fut présenté à Kubelík à Prague ; celui-ci impressionné par le talent de ce pianiste qui n'avait quasiment pas joué depuis cinq ans.. Il lui paiera une chambre d'hôtel. Ils interprétaront ensembleles deux concertos de Chopin à Chicago et donc encore ue fois le 2e à Munich. Du grad piao, avec des tempi un peu lents.
[...] Filar was liberated, but his parents and sister Helen had all been
killed by the end of the war. Soon after gaining his freedom, he and his
brother went to Prague, where the city was being accommodating to refugees.
Filar was thrilled to see a poster announcing a concert, and upon hearing
that the conductor was the son of violinist Jan Kubelik, he went to the
rehearsal and afterwards introduced himself to Rafael Kubelik. He was
invited to play for him at his home a few days later, at which time Filar
played the Chopin E Minor Concerto all the way through – from memory and
without having had access to a piano for five years (except a brief session
a few weeks earlier). The conductor was not only impressed but expressed
true concern for the pianist’s well-being, making a phone call on the spot
that enabled him to have an unlimited stay at a hotel in the city.

Superb piano, tempo a little slow.

On l'attendait depuis longtemps cet enregistrement mythique, quand on sait en quelle estime la pianiste tenait Kubelík. Le son est ancien, le piano privilégié et les basses trop importantes. Grande chaleur dans la direction, qu'il serait intéressant de comparer avec la récente "re-création" de l'œuvre par K. Zimmerman. Le Larghetto est un pur moment de poésie, le charme, la fluidité de la pianiste étant magnifiquement mise en valeur par l'accompagnement.
Kubelík did not accompany Haskil very often (as far as we know : the other Chopin concerto and Mozart's 24th), but they knew each other very well. The interpretation is splendid and you can feel the pianist's magnetism, much more than in most of her piano concerto official recordings. Of course the accompanient is superb.
