Dohnanyi: The Pianist

[@kerryrider-kuhn]

Thank you for this wonderful post. I have been an admirer of Dohnanyi since I 1st heard his Suite in f# minor with the los Angeles Philharmonic back in 1952.

My thanks to you,Dr Walker for you're musicology and research giving us wonderful insights into music.

Magnificent lecture! What a glorious performance of the Schubert G-Major that it ended with too. (BTW, the very recently deceased Béla Siki had also been a pupil of Lipatti-what a pianistic pedigree!)

Very informative. To have such a capacity for nearly immediate score comprehension and retention.............

Fascinating! So interesting to hear this program from 1966. Dr. Walker has not changed a bit. Listening to this takes me right back to his lectures at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.

What a marvelous programme! Thank you so much for posting, Alan!

Dr Walker, I am a graduate from Ohio University in Athens Ohio. My late piano professor Dr. Eugene Jennings was a pupil of Dohnanyi. Unfortunately at that time I didn't have the presence of mind to ask him any reminiscences. This was back in the 1990s. However I had made at that time CD copies from Reel to reel tapes, of concerts that Dohnanyi either conducted or played (piano) in his capacity as composer in residence at Ohio University. Apparently he was a frequent visitor and performed quite a bit. If this is of any interest to you, I'd be happy to be contacted. Thank you.

I hope and trust that Dr. Walker answered. In the event that he was to not, I'll thank you in his stead for your information and most kind offer. (Incidentally, very many operators of chan- nels here display a shocking disregard for their viewers' nice compliments and remarks. I've no idea other than egoism or amassed self preoccupation as indulged, that might account for such obvious defect.)

Priceless documentary Mr. Walker! Could you please upload the one where you interview Liszt simulating his answers? This is so precious! I can't retrieve it ...

[@pianomaly9859]

I'll have to find that too. And Glenn Gould interviewing Glenn Gould about Glenn Gould.

Cziffra was his student.
