KONSTANTIN NICOLAYEVICH IGUMNOV (Russian: Константи́н Никола́евич Игу́мнов; May 1 [O.S. April 19], 1873, Lebedyan – March 24, 1948) was a Russian virtuoso pianist and the teacher of many famous Russian pianists.
Igumnov studied under Nikolai Zverev, and at Moscow Conservatory under Alexander Siloti and Pavel Pabst. He took theory and composition courses from Sergei Taneyev, Anton Arensky and Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov. In 1898-9 he was pianoforte teacher at the Tiflis music-school of the Russian Music Society. From 1899 he was Professor at the Moscow Conservatory, where his life's work was carried out.
Among his many students were Bolesław Kon, Naum Shtarkman, Elena Beckman-Scherbina, Yakov Flier, Lev Oborin, Maria Grinberg, Andrzej Wasowski, Ryszard Bakst, Anatoly Nikolayevich Alexandrov, Natalia Satina (wife of Rachmaninoff), Aleksandr Iokheles, Bella Davidovich, and the conductor Issay Dobrowen.
Thanks for uploading this historic recording. [One reason for leaving out the repeat of the exposition is that thisbypasses an ugly harmonic progression.] I agree that Igumnov's recorded performance has a wonderful "flow".
I don't understand the discussion (one part of it). This playing is just fantastic!!! Everybody who does not hear this must be hard of hearing. The music is flowing, speaking and living under Igumnov's hands.
You are more than welcome to leave the conversation... For those who can learn it IS the first rate but you definitely belong to another category. Enjoy well edited digital recordings - no "wrong notes" there...
