Price range: 30,00 $ through 57,00 $

Ignaz Friedman
In 1914 Friedman settled in Berlin, where today a memorial plaque in Pariser Strasse commemorates his stay in the city. After his Copenhagen period he returned to Berlin, then to Siusi, Italy (1919–39), but the outbreak of war drove him to leave Europe for good. He sailed to Australia and lived in Sydney. Forced to retire from performing in 1943 by neuritis in his left hand, he continued composing, transcribing and arranging piano works until his death in 1948.
Friedman gave over 2800 concerts during his career. He appeared with such conductors as Nikisch, Weingartner, Mengelberg and Saint-SaĂ«ns, and in chamber music with Auer, Hubay, Huberman, TelmĂĄnyi, Feuermann and Casals. His Chopin editions are still much admired, and even though he resisted being labelled as a single-composer specialist – his repertoire spanned Bach to Ravel – it was his Chopin recordings which secured his peerless reputation. Nobody played the Mazurkas better, or the Etudes, to judge from his precious few recordings.

Ignaz Friedman ©
In 1917 Friedman settled in Copenhagen, where he performed, composed, played chamber music and gave lessons to the Danish pianist Victor SchiĂžler, among others.
In search of information about Friedman’s Danish years, the American musicologist and Friedman biographer Allan Evans travelled in 1984 to the Danish capital, where I had founded Danacord Records a couple of years earlier. Among our early releases was a tape of Nielsen’s Violin Concerto from the archives of Danish Radio, performed by his son-in-law Emil Telmányi (and reissued on DACOCD 801-830). Friedman had performed violin sonatas with Telmányi and the 90-year-old Hungarian virtuoso was at the top of the list of Friedman connections to be visited by Evans and his charming Italian wife Beatrice Muzi.
The TelmĂĄnyi family kindly introduced me to them, and the three of us squeezed into a twoseater car. We drove the long way up to North Denmark to visit the Reverend SĂžgaard, who received us with warm hospitality. SĂžgaard and Evans hit it off brilliantly. That day was born the idea of releasing on Danacord all the original Ignaz Friedman recordings painstakingly collected by Evans. Copenhagen was not his only destination at the time. His Friedman quest led to the founding of Arbiter Records in 1996, and eventually to the publication of his magnum opus, Ignaz Friedman. Romantic Master Pianist (2009: Indiana
University Press).
