very enjoyable to listen to his Ravel. Sounds clear, and dynamic, and exciting, unlike many languishing interpretations by many other pianists. Who is this Tocco?
I found out I'm related to him.....did the family tree thing, and discovered we're distant cousins....but we share the same last name....I think that's pretty cool.
here it is in full: Me Eugene Kaminsky James Tocco Claudio Arrau Martin Krause Franz Liszt Carl Czerny Ludwig van Beethoven Johann Albrechtsberger CPE Bach JS Bach
No sabia que Krystian Zimerman habria tocado las Variaciones sobre una Canción Popular Polaca, opus 10, yo las he escuchado por el pianista anteriormente mencionado aunque me imagino que Zimerman debe o debio realizar una muy buena version...me pregunto si habra alguna grabacion de esta obra por el.....Zimerman es un gran pianista!!
Thinking like that, hundreds of my former pupils who aren't worth a shit stand in a 'direct line' that comes from Liszt, Czerny, van Beethoven, Haydn!! HA HA!!
My teacher's teacher was a pupil of a pupil of a pupil of Liszt, who was Czerny's pupil, and Czerny was van Beethoven's pupil and he was Haydn's and and and...
I was looking for a Tocco "Our Town" performance which I have only heard over radio -- played so beautifully, and am happy to hear/see the Ravel. Please post the Copland, if possible!! Thanks.
It's the first time that I find a video of James Tocco playing at live. I only knew the Tocco's recordings of works by Copland, Bernstein and Schulhoff until now. Thanks for posting!
Hola! hhhmmmm....bueno pues resulta que no sabia que existia un video de James Tocco interpretanado la sinfonia concertante de Szymanovsky. ....tambien me gustaria encontrarlo. Casualmente tengo una grabacion en CD de esta obra por el pianista polaco Bogdan Czapiewski & Filharmonia Pomorska ..y hace poco encontre algunos videos aqui en youtube!
Bueno ojala podamos encontrar ese video algun dia....y me gustaria conocer esa version de Rubinstein....me provoca probar a ver si la puedo bajar de internet.....
bueno he podido conocer unas cuantas........3 Sonatas, Variaciones, Mazurkas, Estudios, Fantasia en C...Tengo algunas de estas piezas en un CD por Martin Roscoe (pianista Ingles quien tiene varias grabaciones en Naxos y Hyperion)
A lot of professors of piano are mediocre pianists, but this one sounds like the exception.

He is my teacher's teacher, whose teacher was Claudio, whose teacher's teacher's teacher's teacher's teacher's teacher's teacher was Bach!

Arrau's musical heritage goes back to Liszt which means it then goes further back to Beethoven, not Bach.

Do you mean the 'list' ?
Then I agree with you.

With all respect but, so what ??
My teacher's teacher was a pupil of a pupil of a pupil of Liszt, who was Czerny's pupil, and Czerny was van Beethoven's pupil and he was Haydn's and and and...
What does this actually mean ? Nothing.

Nicely done! He played it for the music and not the technique. It sounds like a jester serenading his lover in the morning.

What a great surprise to find the great James Tocco here on YouTube. He is one of the greatest pianists of our time.

Mi estimado amigo Alvaro,
Sabes dónde me puedo conseguir el video de la Symfonia Concertante de Szymanovsky (para piano y orquesta) por el joven James Tocco, por favor ?
Sé que existe.
Espero que todo te esté yendo bien.
Un saludo cordial,
Geert Dehoux.

Hola, Alvaro!
Pues sí existe, porque yo la vi y en esa época me impresionó mucho!
También tengo un CD de esa obra maestra por Artur Rubinstein! La conoces ?!
Vale la pena!

Es una grabación vieja, la tengo en CD (creo que RCA).
Conoces más obras de Szymanovski ?
Escribió música bastante interesante pa' conocerla!
Nunca olvadaré la ejecución de Krystian Zimerman de Variaciones sobre una Canción Popular Polaca, opus 10 (si no me equivoco): fue FASTASTICA!!!
Un saludo muy cordial,
Geert.

Me parece que su música merece ser mucho más conocida!
Conoces las obras para piano y orquesta de Bohuslav Martinu ?
También tiene música muy bonita!
Espero que estés bien.
Qué has estado trabajando ultimamente ?
Un saludo colegial,
Geert.
