    Depuis 1947, la Columbia savait que son nouveau pianiste vedette montrait un goÃŧt certain pour les musiques latines. Deux cahiers d'IbÃĐria avaient singuliÃĻrement changÃĐ auprÃĻs des discophiles le visage de ce musiCien d'exception qu'on avait assurÃĐ tout entier dÃĐvouÃĐ Ã  Beethoven. AprÃĻs l'annÃĐe 1948, oÃđ l'industrie amÃĐricaine suspendit tous ses enregistrements, trop occupÃĐe à convertir les pesants albums 78 tours en des microsillons moins fragiles et plus maniables, Claudio Arrau dÃĐcida de revenir au studio d'enregistrement non avec ses chers allemands mais avec les deux plus grands compositeurs français du siÃĻcle, Debussy et Ravel. C'est peu dire qu'il allait apporter dans ce rÃĐpertoire une approche nouvelle.
    Là oÃđ l'art ÃĐvocateur de Walter Gieseking rÃĐgnait en maÃŪtre incontestÃĐ, il imposait dans quatre cycles essentiels de Claude de France une maniÃĻre absolument autre. Là oÃđ rÃĐgnait la couleur, il insista sur la lumiÃĻre, et une lumiÃĻre non pas de peintre, mais de sculpteur, taillant au ciseau des reliefs michelangelliens dans des textes qu'on avait cru ÃĐvanescents. Ce Debussy rÃĐsonna immÃĐdiatement nou veau. Pour le Piano devint sous les doigts d' Arrau un vrai marbre animÃĐ, singuliÃĻre ment vibrant et intense, expressif non par le sentiment mais par l'art des proportions, et jusqu'aux Images, plus liÃĐes à l'ÃĐvocation qu' aucune autre piÃĻce pianistique de Debussy, trouvÃĻrent soudain des reliefs ÃĒpres, des contrastes expressifs provoquÃĐs par l'inondation intense de la lumiÃĻre mÃĐridienne.
    Car ce qui ÃĐtonne encore dans ce Debussy, c'est bien la profusion intense des teintes et des volumes, et Arrau touche par là une vÃĐritÃĐ historique : Debussy n'est pas le frÃĻre musical des impressionnistes, mais des fauves. Pour Ravel, c'est une autre histoire. Arrau ne s'aventura au disque qu'en Gaspard (et au concert, ce fut la seule oeuvre du maÃŪtre de Montfort qu'il frÃĐquenta relativement rÃĐguliÃĻrement). Assombrissant son piano, il nous transporte dans les opaques fantasmagories d'Alosyus Bertrand comme seul aprÃĻs lui su le faire Samson François.

    One of the last representatives of the Liszt tradition, the Chilean-born American pianist Claudio Arrau was born in ChillÃĄn, Chile, on 6 February 1903; his mother gave him the basics of his musical training before entrusting him to a teacher named Paoli. At the age of five, he began his career as a child prodigy with a recital in Santiago. In 1913, the Chilean government granted him a scholarship to continue his studies in Germany. For five years he was a pupil of one of the last disciples of Franz Liszt, Martin Krause, and became his spiritual heir. He played at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig under the direction of Arthur Nikisch. In 1918, the death of his master left him an orphan: he worked without a teacher and won the Franz Liszt Prize twice (in 1919 and 1920).
    Back in Chile in 1921, he began an important career in South America. He gave his first concert in London in 1922 and made his debut in the United States in 1924, but it was a failure. Between 1925 and 1940 he lived in Berlin, where he taught at the Stern Conservatory. He made his first recordings in 1926 and a year later won first prize in the Geneva International Competition. Among the members of the jury were Alfred Cortot and Arthur Rubinstein! He gave his first concert with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in 1928; fifty years later, the same orchestra awarded him the Hans von BÞlow Medal to commemorate half a century of collaboration. In 1929 and 1930, he made two important tours of the USSR. His encyclopaedic spirit led him to present Bach's keyboard works in twelve concerts in Berlin (1935-1936). He repeated this with Mozart in 1936 before tackling Schubert the following year and Beethoven, whose complete sonatas and concertos he performed for the first time in Mexico in 1938.
    In 1941, events led him to settle in New York. But the man who had conquered Germany with his artistic intransigence did not manage to adapt to the taste of the American public, which was too fond of virtuosity and antics. Arrau never tried to please the public. At the end of hostilities, he resumed his tours throughout the world: Australia, South Africa, Europe, Japan. When General Pinochet seized power in Chile, he renounced his nationality and chose to become an American citizen: he was naturalised in 1979. After an absence of seventeen years, he returned to his native country in 1984, where he was made a hero: he was awarded the Chilean National Prize for the Arts, and a street in his native town was named after him. Nothing seemed to interrupt the legendary career of this young octogenarian, but the death of one of his sons and then that of his wife hit him hard: he stopped playing for a while. He was about to return to the stage when he died suddenly in MÞrzzuschlag, Austria, on 9 June 1991. Click to activate the English subtitles for the presentation (00:00-01:33)

    There is only one Claudio Arrau. Never to be replicated, nor would he wish to be. He himself believed that every dedicated interpreter had their own contribution to make. He never wanted anyone to try to copy him. To him that was the antithesis of what artist expression is all about.

    WunderschÃķne und detaillierte Interpretation dieser impressionistischen und fein oder perfekt komponierten Klavierwerke in verschiedenen Tempi mit klarem doch zugleich elegantem Anschlag und mit kÞnstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Die verbesserte TonqualitÃĪt ist auch erstaunlich hoch als eine Originalaufnahme von mehr als siebzig Jahren vor. Alles ist wunderbar!

    never close or open
    Private door to a quietly empty temple

    while indulging in the stillness
    came a long way
    Welcome winter guests.

    Old cypress bent at the waist
    with the wind
    play the orchestra

    Birch trees holding hands with blue clouds
    passing through the wind
    come on
    I'm too excited to dance

    Even the squirrel preparing for the cold winter
    Pull out the small and narrow door and open it
    hoho hand rubbing
    Say hello to winter guests
    ,

    Nice and relaxing...... until the points where they go parabolic on the keyboard. I had to turn down the speakers. Then when they started playing normal again you could barely hear. Very frustrating to listen to. As a musician I understand dynamics...... but the degree to which they utilize that aspect is just to much for my taste.
