FALL 2003 UPDATE

Since the publication of the last IPAM Newsletter in 1998, many significant new collections have been added to the archives. These new collections contain materials documenting the careers and artistry of the following pianists and teachers:

In 2000, IPAM brought forth two significant new publications. One is a two-CD anthology called "A Multitude of Pianists," drawn from rarities in the Harry L. Anderson Collection. The other is a unique book containing the collected essays of the late Jan Holcman, issued under the title "Pianists: On and Off the Record". Both publications are only available from IPAM or via the University of Maryland "Friends of the Libraries" online store.

A further, equally important CD publication, although not produced by IPAM, has just been released by Marston Records. It is a two-CD set (Marston 52015) devoted to the rare 1949-53 solo recordings of the late Carl Friedberg, a pupil of Clara Schumann who was also coached by Johannes Brahms in the interpretation of the latter's piano music. Friedberg was equally esteemed as a teacher, counting Malcolm Frager, William Masselos, Bruce Hungerford and many others among his pupils. These Marston CDs are the first and only representation of Friedberg's artistry on compact discs.
