  Classical Net Review - Nápravník/Blumenfeld - Piano Concertos
Eduard Nápravník and Felix Blumenfeld are hardly household names, but in their day, they were two of the most important figures in Russian musical life.
Nápravník was born in 1839 in the Czech town of Byst.
Felix Blumenfeld, born in Ukraine in 1863 is best known as the teacher of Vladimir Horowitz and Simon Barere, but he too was a vital figure as pianist, conductor, editor, teacher and composer.

 FELIX BLUMENFELD (1883-1931): Classical CD Reviews-March 2000 Music on the Web(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Blumenfeld, like many of the Russian composers for the piano of the late 19th and early 20th century, such as Antipov, Bortkiewicz, Cui, Kopylov, Pachulski, Wihtol and others, has fallen into undeserved obscurity.
Blumenfeld was a handsome man and a great skirt-chaser and it is not surprising that during this period he contracted syphilis which left him partially paralysed, so that he could no longer perform as a virtuoso.
Blumenfeld was well known as a conductor of operatic and symphonic music and in addition to premiering several of Rimsky-Korsakov's operas, he gave the first performance in Russia of Scriabin's Third Symphony, "The Divine Poem" in 1906 and also conducted "The Poem of Ecstasy" in 1907.

 Classical Net Review - Nápravník/Blumenfeld - Piano Concertos
Both Eduard Napravnik and Felix Blumenfeld were fascinating and highly accomplished music professionals.
Blumenfeld seemed to have a finger in every piece of the musical pie.
Blumenfeld's Allegro de concert is largely cut from the same cloth as the two Napravnik works except it is less aggressive and more legato-shaped than the Napravnik; also, there is no denying that Blumenfeld has a greater affinity for the piano.
