Budapest, 1903 - d. Los Angeles, 1987) biography, authored byKevin Bazzana, was published in February 2007 by McClelland & Stewart. Click here to reach the McClelland & Stewart page about Kevin Bazzana's Ervin Nyiregyhazi biography (Lost Genius: TheStory of a Forgotten Musical Maverick). The award-winning author of Wondrous Strange, the critically acclaimed biography of Glenn Gould, explores the bizarre,untold life of another brilliant and eccentric musician. The composer Arnold Schoenberg called him an “utterly extraordinary” pianist of “incredible originality and conviction,”yet today he is all but forgotten. Born in Budapest in 1903, Ervin Nyiregyházi (nyeer-edge-hah-zee) was a remarkableprodigy: at eight he performed at Buckingham Palace, and when he was thirteen a psychologist published a book about him.In his teens, his idiosyncratic, intensely Romantic playing electrified audiences and astounded critics in Europe andAmerica. But his adult career quickly foundered, and he was reduced to penury. In 1928, he settled in Los Angeles, and eventually he withdrew from public life, preferring to spend his time quietlycomposing. Psychologically, he remained a child, and found the ordinary demands of daily life onerous — he struggled evento dress himself. He drank heavily, was insatiable sexually (he married ten times), and described himself as “a fortissimobastard,” yet such was his talent and charisma that he numbered among his friends and champions celebrities such as JackDempsey, Theodore Dreiser, Bela Lugosi and Gloria Swanson. Rediscovered in the 1970s, he enjoyed a brief, sensational andcontroversial renaissance before slipping back into obscurity. He died in 1987. Lost Genius, the product of ten years’ research, is the first biography of Nyiregyházi, whose story is among themost fascinating — and bizarre — in twentieth-century music. The U.S. edition is anticipated around September 1st, from Carroll & Graf (New York). A German edition, from Schott(Berlin), is expected for this fall. about Kevin Bazzana Kevin Bazzana holds a Ph.D. in music history from the University of California at Berkeley. He is the author of GlennGould: The Performer in the Work (1997) and Wondrous Strange: The Life and Art of Glenn Gould (2003), which wonthe Toronto Book Award and an ASCAP-Deems Taylor Award and has been published in six languages. He lives in Brentwood Bay,B.C. |
