================================ Beethoven Piano Concerto No.5 in E Flat Op.73 "Emperor" Part1-4 Part2-2 of First Movement:Allegrfo Julius Katchen,piano. London Symphony Orchestra/Pierino Gamba. ================================ Related information: The career of Piero Gamba has no precedent in the history of orchestral conducting. A serious musician since a very early age, he has conducted constantly for 60 years, thousands of times, with 125 symphony orchestras, in 300 cities, in 35 nations. Born in Rome in 1936, Mr. Gamba has been appointed honorary director for life of nine symphony orchestras worldwide. Among many honorary distinctions, he was awarded the Arnold Bar Memorial Medal in Great Britain, and his name appears in major music encyclopedias. He has served as president of juries in various international music competitions and has given piano recitals and played concertos conducting from the keyboard. Maestro Gamba has made numerous recordings with several labels and is a violinist and composer. Maestro Gamba was the Music Director and Conductor of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the National Symphony Orchestra of Uruguay for a combined total of 20 years. Soloists look forward to performing with him. Yehudi Menuhin summarized these feelings on a CBC national broadcast when he said: "I was never better accompanied. A sheer joy. It was as if I were playing with someone who knew my most secret inclination... There was no burden, no weight on me. I played as freely as I might alone. Incredible!" When he organized the Greatest Concert in Canadian History, the president of the Association of Canadian Orchestras wrote: "There are many oustanding musicians and artists in Canada, but only one with the capacity to conceive such an idea and the international prestige to accomplish it: Piero Gamba". In 1964, Maestro Gamba accomplished his dream: "to create a greater spiritual fusion of men through the arts". Together with such international notables as Pablo Casals, Victor de Sabata, Philip Newman, Albert Scweitzer, André Segovia and Igor Stravinsky as founding members, he established Symphonicum Europae. This prestigious organization received the high patronage of Her Majesty, the late Queen Elisabeth of Belgium. Regarding Symphonicum, it has been said that there is probably only one man in the world with the ability to convince such a prestigious assembly to devote their valuable time and energy at no fee for such an extraordinary project. That person is Piero Gamba. http://www.pierogamba.com/bio.htm ================================ *Note:Support the artist, their families and their legacy by purchasing their music.
