My humble tribute to Mr.Weissenberg for those indescribable moments he gave me (and still gives me) with his music and interpretations.. I've used, one more time, some film's excerpts from "I like music. Alexis Weissenberg" by Mando Bernardinello and Osvaldo Tritten. 2001. Please, if you find some errors in my English translation, don't hesitate to tell me.

Alexis Weissenberg, piano, Chicago Symphony, Georges Prêtre, cond. Please read the original album notes by Alexis Weissenberg here: docs.google.com There is endless debate about what is the "best" performance of the Rachmaninoff 3rd concerto, but this has remained over the years my all-time favorite recording. Not only because of the amazing performance by the late Alexis Weissenberg, but also due to the work of producer John Pfeiffer and recording engineer Michael Moran. They make this mammoth work more intimate by seeming to place the piano and the orchestra in the same room with you. Their techniques may be considered somewhat old-fashioned by today's standards, but I absolutely love the overall sound they produced here. And Weissenberg's breathtaking mastery of this concerto is the performance that made me fall in love with this piece. Too bad it is no longer available for purchase. I have maybe a half-dozen recordings of this work that I like very much, but this one remains the standard by which I measure all others.
Alexis Weissenberg Chicago Symphony Rachmaninoff concerto classical piano
On August 7, 1981, Alexis Weissenberg gave a recital at the Salzburg Festival. Among the works he performed was the Haydn Sonata Hob. XVI/52, the Rachmaninoff Sonata no. 1, and numerous encores. But, the centerpiece of this amazing recital was his performance of the Liszt Sonata in B minor. This "live" performance is more gripping in my opinion than his two previous commercial recordings. He seems to play the Liszt sonata with so much passion and bravura. I would hope that someday soon, this beautiful recital will be issued on commercial CD. Restored and remixed by RB Prior.

Born into a Jewish family in Bulgaria, Sofia, Weissenberg began taking piano lessons at the age of three from Pancho Vladigerov.He gave his first public performance at the age of eight. After escaping to what was then Palestine in 1945, where he studied under Leo Kestenberg, he went to the Juilliard School in 1946 to study with Olga Samaroff. He also consulted Artur Schnabel and Wanda Landowska. In 1947 he made his New York debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra under the baton of George Szell playing Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3. Between 1957 and 1966 he took an extended sabbatical for the purpose of studying and teaching. He resumed his career in 1966 by giving a recital in Paris; later that year he played Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in Berlin conducted by Herbert von Karajan, who praised him as "one of the best pianists of our time".He and his manager Michel Glotz were my beloved friends..!
The Associated Press reported yesterday that the Bulgarian born French pianist ,Alexis Weissenberg has died. He was 82. As a child he studied with Bulgaria's most famous musician, Pantcho Vladigerov and performed in concert at the age of eight. He graduated from the Juilliard School in 1946 where he worked under Olga Samaroff. In 1947, Weissenberg made his American debut with the New York Philharmonic with George Szell conducting. Here, Weissenberg performs Scarlatti's Sonata in F, K. 107.

When a rod mounted in a hand drill is dipped into a liquid and rotated, for certain non-Newtonian fluids the liquid will climb the rod - sometimes to quite spectacular heights. Such rob climbing behaviour is referred to as the Weissenberg Effect. Shearing in the flow of the liquid concentrically around the rotating rod causes the component of the stress normal to the circular flow direction to become greater in magnitude compared to the two other mutually perpendicular components. This causes the fluid around the rotating rod to contract and be squeezed up along the axis of the rod causing it to in turn "climb" the rod. The three different fluids shown in the video, all of which exhibit the Weissenberg effect, are: (i) a natural polymer formed from a guar gum solution crosslinked with sodium tetraborate in solution, (ii) pancake batter (flour, water and egg white), and (iii) a dyed synthetic polymer consisting of white glue which has again been crosslinked with sodium tetraborate in solution.

Very rare Weissenberg - Rachmaninov 3 - Finale + Rachmaninov - Plelude.
This upload is for my father who helped me this month beyond words can describe and his friend Reece. Recently I think dad told me she was into the music of Rachmaninoff so here goes.... I know I usually upload 99% violin videos here but here is a little solo piano for you all! What first attracted me to the sound of Mr. Weissenberg was the recording of the Brahms Violin Sonatas with Anne Sophie Mutter, how amazing and expressive his playing was and how disapointeed I was with her sound, but he impressed me enough to investigate more of his music. I can still remeber the first time I heard this sonata, it sounded like a hurricane swirling faster and faster like a tornado and ever since I have desribed it as "a hurricane culminating into a whirlwind" and also another borrowed phrase when I praised the the 4 seasons written by vivaldi " exploding with genius" but also applies to this composition, and of course I have always said the 4 best things to ever happen to music are bach chopin and rachmaninoff (bill evans may be number 4) well this is the pice that put rachmaninoff on the map for me (along with the concertos he wrote and variations on a theme of corelli and chopin) ...the older I get, it is the harmony that seems to excite me the most in music i have discovered! In addition to this video you are watching, please be aware someone put up a video of Horowitz playing this piece (to which this is a video response) and be aware that a recording of George Bolet plays <b>...</b>

I put the cover of the original LP , a short video of the actual LP on the turntable and a selection of photos as a visual element. Biography of Alexis Weissenberg: Born: July 26, 1929 - Sofia, Bulgaria The noted Jewish-born, French pianist of Bulgarian birth, Alexis Weissenberg, was taught to play the piano by his mother. Several members of her family were Vienna Conservatory-trained musicians, and he grew up in an environment where the sight-reading of chamber music was as common as watching television is for most children today. His second piano teacher was a disciplinarian dentist, his third Bulgaria's top composer and pedagogue, Pancho Vladigerov, at whose house Weissenberg heard Dinu Lipatti perform. At age 10 (or 8), Alexis Weissenberg gave his first recital, performing, among other works, an etude of his own composition. Shortly thereafter, Weissenberg and his mother attempted to flee Bulgaria for Turkey as fascist terror deepened. They were caught and thrown in a concentration camp. "Only three elements remained constant," Weissenberg recalled. "Silence, singing, and crying." What saved the pair was an accordion Weissenberg had been given as a gift by an aunt. A German guard who liked music let Weissenberg play and after three months put the Weissenbergs on a train to Istanbul, throwing the accordion into their <b>...</b>
