TURN-OF-THE-CENTURY PIANISM IS shrouded in a golden-era haze, but just how good was it really? A new double CD from Pearl Records, THE PUPILS OF LISZT, provides some clues. Here are such pedagogic scions of the Hungarian firebrand as Eugen D'Albert, Moriz Rosenthal, Arthur Friedheim and six others. Even allowing for poor recording quality and the advanced age of some of the performers, what is remarkable is how ordinary most of the playing is. Only the dazzling if sometimes clumsy Rosenthal and the elegant Jose Vianna da Motta would get a second listen today. Friedheim...
Look at him now: winner of the Kennedy Center-Friedheim Award for the best orchestral piece of 1980; one of six composers commissioned to write a symphonic work for the Boston Symphony Orchestra's centennial this year; and, this summer, composer-in-residence at the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival in New Mexico.

When American bombers destroyed the Bach Mai hospital in Hanoi in December 1972, Friedheim acknowledged that there might have been minor incidental damage to "the hospital the enemy calls Bach Mai." If conspiring to cover...
Ronald L. Ziegler. It's tough to make Gerald Warren look like George Washington, but Ziegler does his best. He's also Nixon's chief adviser these days, by many accounts, which means he's managing to add the power of a Haig to the servility of a Friedheim...
