Richard Strauss: Enoch Arden – A melodrama for piano and speaker after Alfred Lord Tennyson
 
Based on the Alfred Lord Tennyson poem of love and sacrifice, Enoch Arden tells the tale of a young Scottish sailor who leaves his family to make his name in the treacherous seas of the East.  Ten years pass, and passions and fortunes change as with the tide, and the long-lost and battered Arden returns to a very different home than he left behind.
 
This release also features Emanuel Ax's performance of Strauss' Five Piano Pieces for solo piano, Op. 3

New Emanuel Ax site launched!  
Check out the newly redesigned Emanuel Ax site at http://www.emanuelax.com.  It features a full discography, tour dates and a blog from Manny himself.


"The Concerto According to Manny" premieres on CBC!  
There’s no other concert experience quite like it. A gleaming Steinway Concert Grand, sitting center stage, surrounded by the orchestra. The conductor, on this occasion, is mostly hidden by the upraised piano lid. At the keyboard, the lead actor, the pianist. He unleashes thunderbolts, he weaves delicate filigree. He battles the orchestra. He becomes one with them. Gladiator, lover, magician. Tragic, Comic, tragic-comic. The Piano Concerto is a theatre of sound that has inspired some of the greatest music ever written.

The guide is a man who has played the lead role for more than 30 years, pianist Emanuel Ax. A true virtuoso, combining brilliant technique with poetic lyricism, and a probing intellect with a great sense of humour.

Join Manny and CBC Radio Two host Eric Friesen for 10 hours of conversation, in studio demonstrations and recordings.

You can listen to this 10-part series LIVE on CBC Radio Two every Friday at 1:05PM beginning on October 13th, or stream it live on the CBC website.

For more information, check out the official "The Concerto According To Manny" website.

Ax/Bronfman Brahms release  

Released March 1, Emanuel Ax and Yefim Bronfman return to perform Brahms' Sonata for Two Pianos and Variations on a Theme by Haydn. Purchase now directly from the SonyMusicStore.




 
Pianist Emanuel Ax enjoys an international career that brings him acclaim in equal measure for his concert, chamber and recital performances. Highly regarded for his poetic lyricism and brilliant technique, he is a busy and respected figure on the international concert scene.

Emanuel Ax's recording of Haydn Piano Sonatas has been selected as an Editor's Choice in the October 2003 issue of Gramophone.

Haydn Piano Sonatas Nos. 29, 31, 34, 35, 49
Haydn Piano Sonatas Nos. 29, 31, 34, 35, 49
SK 89363
Available on CD
Emanuel Ax's third volume in his acclaimed recording cycle of Haydn PianoSonatas. Ax received a Grammy Award for his previous recording of HaydnPiano Sonatas Nos. 47, 53,32, & 59 (SK 53635).

Haydn's Piano Sonatas contain a universe of beauty on an intimate scale andthose included on this recording are some of the most elegant.

Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances and Suites for 2 Pianos
Grammy winners Ax and Bronfman - Together for the first time!
Piano greats Emanuel Ax and Yefim Bronfman come together for the first time to perform Sergei Rachmaninoff piano pieces for 4 hands. These rarely recorded works of Rachmaninoff showcase the pianists' different approach and style. Acclaimed for his poetic lyricism and brilliant technique, Ax lets the music slide out from under his fingers. Bronfman's dynamic interpretation brings tension and character to every phrase. Together these two extraordinary musicians create a delightful and emotionally charged listening experience.

"...a marvel of digital dexterity, warmly romantic sentiment and jaw-dropping bravura..." -- Chicago Tribune

Dvorák: Piano Quartet No.2
Emanuel Ax and Yo-Yo Ma 25th anniversary
Emanuel Ax and Yo-Yo Ma celebrate their 25th anniversary as a duo. Ax and Ma were joined by Isaac Stern and Jaime Laredo for a recording of Dvorák's Piano Concerto No.2, and the "superstar quartet" completed a sold-out US tour to critical acclaim.

Other Ax/Ma collaborations include Brahms' Cello Sonata in D Major, which was paired with Brahms' Piano Concerto No.2 on a CD released in 1999. Ax was joined by the Boston Symphony Orchestra led by Barnard Haitink for the concerto. BBC Music Magazine gave the album five stars and named it "Orchestral Pick of the Month" for November 1999.

Phantasmagoria (The Fantasy Album)
The superstar duo of Emanuel Ax and Yo-Yo Ma are featured on an album of music from Oscar® winning composer John Corigliano (The Red Violin). Phantasmagoria (The Fantasy Album) is a whimsical, mesmerizing and dramatic group of works spotlighting the composer's outstanding craft and prolific imagination. Highlights of the album include Phantasmagoria for cello and piano, a work based on Corigliano's landmark opera The Ghosts of Versailles. Pianist James Tocco also appears on the album.

"Ax's solo turn comes in the compelling 1985 work 'Fantasia on an Ostinato', a stark, minimalist adaptation of the Allegretto movement of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony... As expected, Ma and Ax pull off this clever pastiche with energy and style."
-- Time Out, January 01

East-West
Emanuel Ax is featured on the soundtrack for East-West. Nominated for an Academy Award® as Best Foreign Film, the film's score was composed by Oscar® winner Patrick Doyle.

Emanuel Ax is renowned not only for his poetic temperament and unsurpassed virtuosity, but also for the exceptional breadth of his performing activity. Each season his distinguished career includes appearances with major symphony orchestras worldwide, recitals in the most celebrated concert halls, a variety of chamber music collaborations, the commissioning and performance of new music, and additions to his acclaimed discography on Sony BMG Masterworks.

 

Born in Lvov, Poland, Emanuel Ax moved to Winnipeg, Canada with his family when he was a young boy. His studies at The Juilliard School were greatly supported by the sponsorship of the Epstein Scholarship Program of the Boys Clubs of America, and he subsequently won the Young Concert Artists Award. His piano teacher was Mieczylaw Munz. Additionally, he attended Columbia University, where he majored in French.

Mr. Ax resides in New York City with his wife, the pianist Yoko Nozaki. They have two children together, Joseph and Sarah.

Mr. Ax captured public attention in 1974 when, at age 25, he won the first Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Competition in Tel Aviv. In 1975 he won the Michaels Award of Young Concert Artists and, four years later, took the coveted Avery Fisher Prize. He made his Sony Classical debut with a collection of Chopin scherzos and mazurkas. Mr. Ax’s third volume in the recording cycle of Haydn Piano Sonatas (Nos. 29, 31, 34, 35, 49) received a Grammy® Award in February 2004 – the previous recording in the cycle (Sonata Nos. 47, 53, 32, 59) also won a Grammy®. Other recent releases include two discs of two-piano programs (with Yefim Bronfman) of works by Brahms and Rachmaninoff; period-instrument performances of Chopin’s complete works for piano and orchestra (on two discs); and the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2 with Bernard Haitink and the Boston Symphony.

For the opening Gala of the New York Philharmonic in September 2006, Mr. Ax appeared with Mr. Bronfman in Mozart’s Concerto for Two Pianos conducted by Lorin Maazel. As an “On Location” artist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic during the 2006 – 2007 season, he contribute to a series of chamber and orchestral programs centered around Mozart and Strauss works. Mr. Ax performs with his wife, pianist Yoko Nozaki, in a project with the Mark Morris Dance Company, which was originally conceived for New York’s 2006 Mostly Mozart Festival. The program will be repeated in Vienna and London during 2007. This season’s tours include a series of Mozart Concerti with Orpheus on the West Coast and Florida with the Atlanta Symphony conducted by Robert Spano, a ten-city recital tour, duos with bassist Edgar Meyer and concerts in Japan with his long-standing colleague and partner Yo-Yo Ma.

In the 2005–2006 season, Mr. Ax served as Pianist-in-Residence with the Berlin Philharmonic, performing with the orchestra and Sir Simon Rattle in Berlin and New York. Additionally, Mr. Ax appeared as soloist in a U.S. tour with the National Symphony and Leonard Slatkin; recitals in London, Vienna, and at New York’s Carnegie Hall; and a duo recital tour with Richard Stoltzman.

Recent performance highlights have included separate recital tours with two longstanding colleagues, cellist Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Yefim Bronfman; a tour of the Far East with recitals in Guangzhou, Beijing, Seoul, Hong Kong, and Taipei; and a tour of the United States with the Dresden Staatskapelle and Myung-Whun Chung (with performances in Carnegie Hall and Boston’s Symphony Hall). In 2004–05, Mr. Ax also contributed to a BBC documentary commemorating the Holocaust that aired on the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, and which was awarded a 2005 International Emmy.
Throughout the 2003-04 season at Carnegie Hall, Mr. Ax focused on Debussy, his music and his influences. This season-long “Perspectives” series featured Mr. Ax in performances with the Boston Symphony under Bernard Haitink, with the Juilliard Orchestra under Charles Dutoit, in three chamber music concerts at Zankel Hall, and in a solo piano recital. These programs featured world premieres of three Carnegie Hall commissions.

Always a committed proponent of contemporary composers, Mr. Ax has turned his attention in recent years toward the music of 20th-century composers. He gave the world premiere of John Adams’ “Century Rolls” with the Cleveland Orchestra in 1997, the European premiere with the Concertgebouw Orchestra in 1998, and the New York premiere with the Cleveland Orchestra at Carnegie Hall in 2000. Another concerto dedicated to him, Christopher Rouse’s “Seeing,” was premiered in 1999 with the New York Philharmonic and received its European debut at the BBC Proms in 2001. In 2000 Mr. Ax joined the Boston Symphony for the first performances of Bright Sheng’s “Red Silk Dance,” and in March 2003 he joined Yo-Yo Ma, David Zinman, and the New York Philharmonic to premiere Mr. Sheng’s “Song and Dance of Tears.” Mr. Ax premiered Krzysztof Penderecki’s “Resurrection” with the Philadelphia Orchestra in May 2002, and in May 2003 he premiered a concerto written for him by Melinda Wagner, “Extremity of Sky,” with Daniel Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony.
