Although the critics
had predicted a great concert-career for the 18-year old
Hubert Harry, he chose to dedicate himself to teaching
instead. His enthusiasm drove him to search for a reliable
technique, to discover strategies and exercises for practice,
to develop varieties of touch and balance of the voices,
all of which he shared with his students to help them
express more of the inner life of music. Concert life
did not quite become a thing of the past, and his occasional
appearances in Lucerne became highlights in the musical
calendar. Despite the
acclamation of the critics, Hubert Harry said in an interview,
that he only gave concerts now and then to prove to his
students that he could still do it.
Fortunately, these concerts are documented in live recordings
produced between 1968 and 1994.
Royss
music is a label created exclusively for the
New Edition of 6 individual CDs of live recordings of
Hubert Harry from 1968 to 1988, until now only available
in a box of six under the Label ARMIDA.
This royss series includes recordings from 1970 and 1976,
new as CD 7.
NEW
CD!!! Hubert Harry plays Rachmaninoff's First
Piano Concerto and Encores
In November 2004 a CD with Rachmaninoff’s First
Piano Concerto, a Scarlatti Sonata, and piano pieces by
Rachmaninoff and Scriabin was launched.
The Rachmaninoff Concerto is a live-recording of a Concert
at the Lucerne Festival of 19th August 1978, with the
Swiss Festival Orchestra under Ulrich Meyer-Schoellkopf.
This concert had been recorded and broadcast directly
by swiss radio SR DRS, and remained in their archives
for 26 years. It has now been released under the royss
music label as CD H 190-08.
Siegfried Droews, Lucerne, recorded many of Hubert Harry’s
public appearances from 1968 until 1994, and produced
the live-recordings on LPs and CDs under the label Armida.
You will find information about the CDs under royss
music or ARMIDA. |
