Prize-Winning Pianist Boris Giltburg Actually Hates Piano Competitions
Competitions are for horses, not for artists, was the verdict of the great Hungarian composer and pianist Bela Bartok. And there is a part of Israeli pianist Boris Giltburg, declared winner on June 1 of one of the world's most prestigious and grueling music contests, that agrees. EXCLUSIVE: Eli Keszler & Sō Percussion, 'Archway' @ Make Music New York
Presented in collaboration with the DUMBO Improvement District, New York City's Department of Transportation, Q2 internet radio and ISSUE Project Room's onging PAN_ACT Fest, Keszler's 'Archway' used tuned piano wires--stretching all the way from Adams Street to Anchorage Place--and mechanical beaters to conjure a rich and resonant drone for Sō's battery of snares and cymbals.
