Music:Member Since: 04/12/2007Band Website: www.michaelsayers.com Influences: "You are an incredibly original musician and pianist. Only in Ervin Nyiregyhazi have I heard this kind of playing, andwhile you don't have his demonic vehemence, you have an aural imagination second to none...The sound you produce isfascinating at all levels of dynamic...What is also fascinating is how you are able to maintain control over such huge spansof time. This in itself justifies your tempos. In the Chopin C Minor prelude, I don't believe anyone has ever played thepiece with such color and understanding of its internal nature...The chords in the Brahms are stupendous...Clearly you listenin a wonderfully creative way." Gordon Rumson, pianist and composer Ervin Nyiregyhazi, child prodigy pianist and composer, performed extensively between 1909 and 1930. His 1920s Carnegie Hall debut is said to have received a much more enthusiastic response than that of Vladimir Horowitz a few years later. Following a lawsuit against his manager (R.E. Johnston - who, to judge from accounts in Andre Benoist's "The Accompanist", may not have had a performer's best interests at heart), Nyiregyhazi's performing career dissipated. He participated in some movies, was juror at a piano competition in which one of the participants was Raymond Lewenthal (whom Nyiregyhazi voted for - but who also did not win the competition), and composed. A live broadcast during the 1940s of him performing Ferenc Liszt's (or, Germanized, Franz Liszt's) second piano concerto, has never surfaced as having been recorded. Similarly, a 1960s private recording of Liszt's B Minor Sonata, has remained elusive. To defray his ninth wife's medical expenses, Nyiregyhazi gave a number of recitals in the 1970s, primarily of repertoire by Ferenc Liszt, Franz Schubert, Johannes Brahms, Frederic Chopin, Claude Debussy and Theodore Leschetizky, which led to a Desmar LP ("Nyiregyhazi Plays Liszt") produced under the auspices of the International Piano Archives, and a Columbia Records two-LP Liszt set that was Stereo Review's record of the year in 1978. Following this, Nyiregyhazi was offered return concerts at Carnegie Hall, but Nyiregyhazi declined. He continued to compose, performed in Japan in 1980 and 1982, and died of colon cancer in 1987. http://www.ervinnyiregyhazi.net/ The International Ervin Nyiregyhazi Foundation http://www.nyiregyhazi.org/ Ervin Nyiregyhazi website, managed by Aaron Gross http://fugue.us/Ervin.html Ervin Nyiregyhazi website with movie mp3s, rare photos and more http://www.michaelsayers.com/ervinnyiregyhazi.html Ervin Nyiregyhazi website, managed by Michael Sayers http://www.marymaclane.com/nyiregyhazi/ Ervin Nyiregyhazi website, managed by Michael Brown http://www.vai-music.com/CD/1003.htm VAI Audio Nyiregyhazi at the Opera cd release http://www.amica.org/Live/amica_Organization/amica-Hall-of-F ame_Members/nyiregyhazi.htm AMICA Hall of Fame: Ervin Nyiregyhazi Gives recital in Novato, CA by Bill Knorp, The AMICA, V. 10, No 9, Sept 1973; obituary from the AMICA, May/June 1987 http://www.americanhungarianfederation.org/culturalnews_nyir egyhazi.htm American Hungarian Federation Cultural News: Ervin Nyiregyhazi http://www.time.com/time/magazine/printout/0,8816,919731,00. html Nine Wives and 700 Works Later by Annalyn Swan Time Magazine, Monday May 29, 1978 http://www.classicalnotes.net/features/joachim4.html In search of...The Most Important Record Ever Made (article by Peter Gutmann, that in part is written about Nyiregyhazi) http://groups.myspace.com/ErvinNyiregyhazi Myspace Ervin Nyiregyhazi group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ervinnyiregyhaziadmirersclub Yahoo Ervin Nyiregyhazi group http://groups.msn.com/ervinnyiregyhazi MSN Ervin Nyiregyhazi group http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyiregyhazi Wikipedia Ervin Nyiregyhazi article other music links: http://www.ronaldstevensonsociety.org.uk/index.asp The Ronald Stevenson Society http://www.lisztsoc.org.uk/ The Liszt Society http://www.americanlisztsociety.org/ American Liszt Society http://www.scriabinsociety.com/ Scriabin Society of America http://www.theberliozsociety.org.uk/ The Hector Berlioz Society http://www.festivalberlioz.com/ Festival Berlioz http://cristoforifund.tripod.com/ Cristofori Foundation (founded by pianist Martin Berkofsky) http://www.michaelsayers.com/ferrucciobusoni.html Michael Sayers' Ferruccio Busoni website http://www.rodoni.ch/busoni/indexx.html Laureto Rodoni's Ferruccio Busoni website http://www.sorabji-archive.co.uk/ The Sorabji Archive http://www.gordonrumson.org/ Gordon Rumson, pianist and composer http://www.michaelhabermann.com/ Michael Habermann, pianist http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sorabjigroup/ Yahoo Sorabji group http://www.raff.org/ Joachim Raff Society http://www.scriabinsociety.com/ Scriabin Society of America http://www.cliburn.org/ Van Cliburn Foundation http://www.callas.it/ Associazione Culturale Maria Callas http://www.mvdaily.com/ Music and Vision magazine http://www.lib.umd.edu/PAL/IPAM/index.html The International Piano Archives at Maryland http://www.intlpianoarchives.com/ International Piano Archives (founded by Albert Petrak and Gregor Benko) http://chopin.lib.uchicago.edu/ University of Chicago, Chopin Early Editions https://urresearch.rochester.edu/handle/1802/291/browse-auth or University of Rochester, Sibley Music Library http://imslp.org/wiki/Main_Page International Music Score Library Project http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pianophiles/ Yahoo Pianophiles group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/great-pianists/ Yahoo Great Pianists group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/godowsky/ Yahoo Godowsky group Sounds Like: Record Label: archived tape and optical discs |
