1984 BBC Young Musician of The Year Performs Crusell's Concerto in F Minor

The MHS Review 392 Vol. 11 No. 14 1987

David M. Greene

"...the point of this particular choice has more rationale than just the decided charm of the concerto. In 1984 thousands of Britishers were glued to their tellys for five weeks watching the BBC competition for Young Musician of the Year, and saw Miss Johnson win with this piece. "

A Beautiful History Lesson: Milt Jackson

The MHS Review 381 Vol. 11, NO. 3 • 1987

Spencer Bennett

Milt Jackson can play the vibraphone with such dexterity and speed that you are not aware that two simple hammers are the driving force of his sound.

A Compelling Reading: Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra

The MHS Review 376 Vol. 10, No. 16 • 1986

David M. Greene

Musicians of my acquaint­ance talked about Bartok, Stravinsky, and Schoenberg as though they were music's Holy Trinity. Today there are few musicians who deign to speak to me, but I somehow get the impression that, as an influence, Bartok has been re­moved from that lofty eminence.

A Delightful Group: American Piano Music by Bennett Lerner

The MHS Review 381 Vol. 11, NO. 3 • 1987

David M. Greene

Seeing the title of this record, I was a bit taken aback. I didn't know what to expect. One of those horsehair­stuffed sonatas by MacDowell? Some of those ickey-poo salon pieces by Ethelbert Nevin? It was difficult to guess at anything much later. Who knows the piano works by Howard Hanson or Roger Sessions? The com­plete piano music by Leonard Berns­tein and Irving Babbitt occupies an LP apiece, and Copland's just two. For a moment I wondered if anyone still writes piano music.
