		Istomin represented the split as a clash between two different tempi: that is, the orchestral passages in one time, the solo passages more deliberate.
		Istomin does as well as any pianist other than Schnabel, and I must say his is certainly among the most cleanly-played "Waldsteins" I've heard.
		Istomin's deliberation allows him to build momentum like gangbusters; he can always turn it up a notch because he hasn't blown it all away too early.

	Independent, The (London): Obituary: Eugene Istomin
		Istomin (the stress is on the second syllable) was born in New York in 1925, to musical parents, immigrants from Russia; his father he later described as "a flyer in the Tsar's air force" who "came to work at a huge factory in Brooklyn":
		Siloti listened to the six- year-old Eugene accompany his mother's singing and agreed to take him on as a student - but on two conditions: he was not to appear in public, and there was to be no exploitation of his talent.
		But Istomin's father was worried at his apparent lack of progress and moved him, now nine, to David and Clara Mannes, at the Mannes School of Music.

		NEW YORK — When Marta Casals Istomin married her teacher, Pablo Casals, she was 20 and the fabled cellist was 80.

		Casals Istomin, who is retiring as president of the Manhattan School of Music this spring, is artistic patron of the festival that has hosted an international cello competition named after her first husband, perhaps the greatest modern master of the instrument.

		His friend and colleague Pablo Casals considered Eugene Istomin "among the world's greatest pianists." True enough, and well demonstrated in a career that lasted more than 50 years and 4,000 performances on every continent except Antarctica.
		He was one of the most intelligent people I have known, a painter and art collector, an avid reader and conversationalist on a wide range of topics, including history, politics, art and poetry as well as music.
		I had the good fortune to interview Eugene Istomin at two climactic points of his later career: his appointment to direct the Maryland festival and Kapell Competition and his decision, two years later, to go barnstorming to small towns across the U.S. in a truck with a driver, two pianos and a piano technician.

		Istomin didn't play that well at least in the first part of the concerto 21.
		The movement of the keys was rough, and the notes were not clear, as if he was afraid of hitting them, or maybe he was just putting in 85% of his effort (which I doubt it is the case).
		Istomin is clearly a fine pianist but the surprise package is the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, rarely if ever ranked alongside the top American orchestras-whether New York, LA, Philadelphia, Boston or Cleveland.

	The Flying Inkpot - Mozart Piano Concerti 21 and 24 - Eugene Istomin, Gerard Schwarz, Seattle Symphony
		But one is likely to have at least half a dozen of these concerti in one's collection even if one isn't an fan, and ultimately these two performances, while good, don't quite make it to the exalted levels of Mozart playing by Rudolph Serkin, Edwin Fischer and Robert Casadesus, to name a few.
		It's not that Istomin doesn't have his merits; in fact his musical, understated approach will find many fans.
		The performance isn't short of musical inflection, it's just that Istomin's playing, while cultured, seems to be once removed from the music, surprising for a chamber musician.
