	Wolfgang Lempfrid: Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (DLF)
		Der Pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli hat sich immer schon rar gemacht auf den Konzertpodien und in den Schallplattenstudios.
		Michelangeli zählt zwar zu jenen Pianisten, die man als die "großen Einsamen des Klaviers" bezeichnen möchte, aber es ist nicht die Einsamkeit des musikalischen Philosophen oder Architekten.
		Und auch in den frühen Beethoven-Sonaten herrscht bei Michelangeli bei aller Spielfreude klassisch-aristokratische Zurückhaltung vor.

	Biography - Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (Bio 1339) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		One of the most enigmatic performers of the twentieth century, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli was also one of the most compelling and, paradoxically, one of the least-heard pianists of his generation.
		Michelangeli was famous for having canceled nearly as many performances as he gave, and he committed little of his vast repertory to disc.
		Michelangeli took his role as a mentor very seriously; he held various teaching positions in Italy and throughout Europe, and included Martha Argerich and Maurizio Pollini among his pupils.

	Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (January 5, 1920 – June 12, 1995) was an Italian classical pianist.
		Apart from his musical activities, Michelangeli claimed to have been a qualified doctor, pilot, racing car driver and member of the anti-Fascist resistance during the Second World War, although he is known to have served in the Italian armed forces.
		Michelangeli was something of an hypocondriac, famous for last-minute cancellations of his concert recitals.

	Musicians Gallery Tribute - Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli pianist
		Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli was born at Orzinuovi, a small town near Brescia, Italy, on January 5, 1920.
		When Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli was to begin his career as an artist, Europe was slowly sinking into the abyss of the Second World War, and an ever decreasing attention was addressed to music.
		Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, who cultivated perfectionism pushed to the extreme, will most certainly be remembered as the incarnation of intellectual honesty.

	Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli
		Seitdem Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, einer der großartigsten Musiker des Jahrhunderts und unerschöpflicher Klangmagier vollendeten Klavierspiels, gestorben ist, sprießen die Hommage-Editionen nur so aus den Katalogen.
		Divox hat sich nun die Rechte auf bisher nicht offiziell erschienene Nachlaß-Aufnahmen gesichert und eigens hierfür ein neues Label gegründet: Memoria ABM, wo jetzt als erste Folge eine 4CD-Box mit den Aufnahmen aus dem Vatikan (1967-87) erschienen ist.
		In letzterem schließlich greift direkt vor der Schlußkaskade der himmlische Herrscher selbst ein - wer sonst hätte je mit Blitz und Donner Michelangelis Klangtempel entgegenzutreten gewagt.

		One may even compare Benedetti Michelangeli's style to Messiaen's postulates, such is his exactness in the choice of the timbre, fixed by him not only as a colour which orientates the listener's perception, but as a value per se.
		Benedetti Michelangeli's art presents paradoxical and hermetical aspects (together with elements of immediate and strong suggestion), which renders its critical analysis quite arduous.
		Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli's art is marvellous, not for any particular characteristic, but for that ability to synthesis and that completeness that are the point of force of his personality.

	Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli - Biography
		Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli was born in Brescia, Italy, in 1920.
		Yet it is certain the former occupation and the latter both share the same attraction in that it is rather unusual for pianist to overlook neither sentiments nor objectivity.
		It should prove for the fairness to Michelangeli that what he had of good-for-bad or bad-for-good, in its entirety, always fell short of what really Michelangeli presented to his audience.

		• A rare opportunity to see the legendary pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli in concert, performing some of the repertoire for which he was most famed.
		• Michelangeli carried with him an impression not only of overwhelming power and authority, but also of an almost preternatural calm, redolent of an omnipotence which stimulated in his audiences expectancy and awe.
		As he once confessed, "I do not play for others, but only for myself in the service of the composer.

	Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli
		Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli chose which composers he interpreted according to the principle: You ought to know everything, then you choose what deserves to be played for yourself, and what deserves to be played in public.
		Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli was also famous for the almost maniacal degree of perfection he required of his instrument during a concert.
		During the final rehearseal, however, Benedetti Michelangeli drew himself back, even questioning his own performance: the sound of the grand piano was powerful enough, but its action was not altogether perfect.

	The "Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli" Documentation Centre
		Consequently, if, from then, nothing were done in Italy and in Europe to arouse the renewed interest of scholars, musicians and enthusiasts, even a giant such as Benedetti Michelangeli could run the risk before very long of being neglected or underestimated by historiography and by musical critics.
		For this reason, in the spring of 1999, the "Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli" Documentation Centre was set up in Brescia, and has now become an international point of reference for the collection of sources and authentic testimonies concerning the Maestro, and for publicising books, studies and essays on his art.
		On 15th November 2003 the Centre organized a one-day study on The piano art of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli in cooperation with Teche Rai, Province of Brescia and Fondazione Civiltà Bresciana; among the speakers invited were such well-known experts as Sergio Sablich and Luca Chierici.

		Like many of the greatest artists, Michelangeli was always controversial, arousing in many musicians outspoken hostility and in others a degree of idolatry hardly seen since the heyday of Paderewski.
		Michelangeli didn't play all the Beethoven sonatas in his career, at least not in public; in fact, he only played a handful of them.
		Michelangeli had zero interest in pleasing his audience, but possessed a total commitment to the integrity of his vision.

		Michelangeli's Ravel is also superb, and not at all controversial--no one else comes close.
		The concerto, an early stereo register from 1957 in which Michelangeli is aptly partnered by the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Ettore Gracis, is unmatched in the pianist's impeccable fingerwork, evenness of touch - notably in the second movement trills - and structural coherence.
		This first set on Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli shows many of his best moments, exhibiting his rich and variegated tone (he once said he aimed at a sound between the organ and the violin), his flawless technique and his deep-thinking interpretative approach.

		For Beethoven, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli's outsized dynamics, overwrought articulation, and plain old-fashioned breaking of hands at lyrical moments frequently transform the music's red-blooded lyricism and brio into statuesque, sonatalike replicas preserved in formaldehyde.
		When it came to Debussy and Ravel, however, Michelangeli was a genius.
		Michelangeli plays the daunting opus absolutely straight, orchestrating the sonorities, the tricky balances, and dynamics with awesome technical finesse and masterly control of color and nuance.
