Classical morning announcer Randy Anderson is host and producer of The Piano which takes an in-depth look at the instrument, the music that has been created for it and the musicians who have become famous playing it.
Each program focuses on a different aspect of the piano. One program may explore composers of piano music of a specific era, another may do a comparative study of different keyboard instruments. From Arthur Rubenstein to Evgeny Kissin, The Piano will always include analysis of the individual styles of musicians. There may be interviews with visiting artists or a presentation of performances, such as those during the International Piano Competition.
Airs: 5 p.m. Sunday on KPAC and KTXI
Special Series: Pianists for the 21st Century
With mass media filling our days and nights with entertainment, popularity is the byword. There is a lot of talent out there that doesn't make it to television and radio, but sometimes the good word leaks out.
For the month of September "The Piano" will highlight "laureates" of the two recent Honens International Piano Competitions. This contest takes place in Calgary Alberta every three years and the judges are looking for what they call "complete musicians" and "21st century musicians for 21st century audiences." I can't say that there is something of the moment exhibited by these pianists, but the music played is thought provoking and fresh and that works for me.
During this series you will hear old favorites like Gaspard de la Nuit by Ravel and the Wanderer fantasy of Schubert as well music of Schoenberg, Stravinsky and Bach's Goldberg Variations — all beautifully recorded and heard on "The Piano."

December 18, 2011, "Travel Impressions And The Heart"
It was a German thing to travel to Italy. The artist Albrecht Dürer was the first during the Renaissance, and the changes in his art and the stories he told when he returned made it a part of any serious artist's young life. Goethe did it as well as Richard Strauss centuries later.
While Franz Liszt wasn't German, he was a great reader and to see the sights experienced by Goethe and Chateaubriand, Italy was on his "to do list.” While Liszt was a relatively young man, he was growing up fast and by the end of his time in Italy several things became apparent. One, his life with Marie D'Agoult would have to change. Her arrogance and lack of understanding of his artistic temperament was pushing Liszt away from her. And in 1837, the composer found a new love, one that appreciated him and he could actually help. It was his homeland Hungary, and when disaster struck, Liszt left his family with friends and dashed off to Vienna to raise money for the flood victims and tour the country he left behind but had not forgotten.
The Années de pelerinage books II and III constitute a musical document that not only entertains, but shows the listener an artist in transition from the young lover full of optimism to an older man wise with experience and his bitterness of heart.

December 11, 2011, "Better Than Aunt Tillie's Slides of Hawaii"
It is natural to bring back knick-knacks and souvenirs from our travels, but recording these new impressions into music that would last for centuries was an unheard of concept when Franz Liszt started composing his different versions of his musical impressions of Switzerland in the 1830's.
It was a great period for the composer. Through massive amounts of talent and hard work, Liszt was becoming a creature of his own invention and the freshness and audacity of his new approach to piano music shows in his Années de pèlerinage: Suisse.

December 4, 2011, "Meyer Debussy Preludes"
And you thought cooking was hard…
Don't tell a French food addict that you've enjoyed "authentic" bouillabaisse because that will start a fight. It seems that even in Marseilles, everyone has a different idea as to how the recipe should go. When it comes to music, at least as far as pop music is concerned, we know how the performance should go because we all heard the same recording with the original artist. That doesn't work too often in classical music because the original artists have long since joined the choir invisible.
Here we compare Claude Debussy's Preludes, not quite with the original artist, but with a great pianist who studied these light and elusive works with the composer himself.

Your friends are the literary glitterati of Paris. You know the piano and little else, so what do you do? Self improvement is an important part of becoming a well rounded individual, and if you were Franz Liszt in the 1820's, he started a massive campaign of self education, reading every book he could find. It worked, too, not only in educating a young man, but providing a wealth of new vistas for musical exploration.
Here's a look at Liszt in those important years in Paris where as a young man he strived to complete himself and provide himself with projects for decades to come.

Franz Liszt
| |
It is hard to believe that Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, long associated with lighthearted entertainment like children's cartoons could be thought of as an act of defiance.
Franz Liszt lost touch with his homeland in his youth, but when he heard of the disastrous floods of 1838 he made sure to help as best as he could and in doing so he reestablished a connection to Hungary that would last the rest of his life.

November13, 2011, "The Worst News Imaginable"
|
Gary Oldman plays a near deaf Beethoven in the film "Immortal Beloved."
| |
The worst news imaginable, what would that be for you? For Ludwig van Beethoven it was confirmation that his hearing, "the one sense which should have been more perfect in me than in others, a sense which I once possessed in highest perfection" was eroding. How could this supreme master of sound be reduced to shouting "Speak louder for I am deaf" and still have the respect of those around him?
In his Heiligenstadt Testament, Beethoven agonized about his self-exile from humanity and the misunderstandings of those who perceive him as stubborn, haughty or misanthropic. The searing nature of this confession is so personal and discouraging that some experts thought of it as a first draft of a suicide note to those that would have found him. As reduced as Beethoven was by his illness he did find a way out that was more positive for humanity, music.
Could Beethoven compose with such weighty matters depressing him? The answer is yes, his dear art and its alchemy turned base anger and frustration into art. Hear Beethoven's unique piano sonata in d minor "the Tempest" this Sunday afternoon at 5 on the Piano. Along with a sterling performance, we will give a listen to several musicians and their approach to this masterwork.
