Description

Firma Melodiya presents an album of Bella Davidovichs recordings. The double album is timed to the outstanding pianists 90th anniversary. As her family legend has it, the three-year-old Bella, without knowing musical notation, played Chopins waltz from her memory. One way or another, Chopin was the one who became the pianists guiding light. In 1949, she shared the first prize of the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw with the celebrated Polish pianist Halina Czerny-Stefanska. At that time, she was a student of the Moscow Conservatory where she studied under two prominent representatives of the Russian piano school, Konstantin Igumnov and (after the latters death) Yakov Flier. Bella Davidovich was an active concert performer from the early 1950s playing in the Soviet Union and abroad and made quite a number of recordings. In 1979, following her son, violinist and conductor Dmitri Sitkovetsky, she left for the USA where she gave a triumphant recital at Carnegie Hall. She played at some of the well-known venues of the American and European continents and taught at the Juilliard School in New York. She played in Moscow again a decade later. The anniversary album comprises some of Bella Davidovichs best recordings a collection of Frdric Chopins waltzes, his first piano concerto and Beethovens first concerto, from which she started her performing career (at the age of nine, she played Beethovens concerto in her home city of Baku). These recordings made in the early 1960s with the conductor Arvids Jansons have not been previously released beyond the former USSR.
