		After the performance, the critic, Olin Downes, wrote that Serkin is a "curious figure on the platform because of his slightness and the fact that he is not tall, the nervous intensity of his walk to the piano, and his fantastical intentness on the work at hand.

		Had they never met, Adolf Busch (1891-1952) and Rudolf Serkin (1903-1991) would still be regarded as two of the greatest Beethoven interpreters of the twentieth century, but together they formed something extraordinary, even among the various marvellous ensembles organised by Busch.
		Serkin was ready for a change back to the mainstream and he and Busch hit it off straight away.
		With Serkin as part of the team, piano trios, quartets and quintets could be rehearsed as carefully as string quartets; and when the little conductor-less orchestra known as the Busch Chamber Players was formed, concertos could be prepared to the same rigorous standard.

		Serkin was Busch's preferred pianist in duo, orchestral, and chamber performances; in 1935 he married Busch's daughter; and he kept Busch before the public after their intertwined families fled from the Nazis to the U.S., where his star flared as Busch's dimmed.
		Rudolf Serkin, one of the most cerebral of pianists, was a giant among pianists, although far fewer people would recognize his name than, say, Horowitz or Rubinstein's.
		Rudolf Serkin has been my favorite pianist since I was 18 years old and I would have expected some of the passion of his playing to leak into the writing about his life, although he didn't live life in as intense a way as his playing would suggest.

		Serkin played the same passage with a rhythmic urgency which led one to feel an ardent longing for elevasion.
		At that time Serkin was still a young man of twenty at the beginning of his career; Busch, twenty years his senior, had already established himself as a revered violinist.

		Rudolf Serkin was born March 28, 1903, in Eger, Bohemia, which is now Cheb in the Czech Republic.
		Serkin was delighted to discover that the hills of South-western Vermont reminded him of Austria and Switzerland, and he purchased 125 acres near Guilford.
		Since Serkin had broken with Schoenberg many years before, it might be understandable why he never travelled West, but as a fellow member of the Eastern settlement, it is more difficult to understand why he did not get along with Hindemith whose music one would have thought would suit Serkin’s temperament well.

		Serkin manages to clarify them all while also integrating them into a fluid musical whole.
		Frank/Serkin do this to some extent-- their highest speed, at the climax of the exposition, is almost 9 percent faster than their opening speed.
		Serkin's grandfather Adolph Busch (in a 1931 recording with Serkin's father Rudolf) begins the movement more slowly than Frank/Serkin - about 7% slower-- but accelerates a lot more relative to the opening, about 19% over the course of the exposition.

		From the start of the performance, when he bounded on stage to the Steinway grand, (whose sound, by the way, was wonderful), Serkin seemed to draw more and more strength from the enthusiam of the audience.
		The program notes warned: "Indeed the Fantasia is extremely free and passionate, with unexpected key shifts and dramatic gestures." Serkin interpreted the Mozart very romantically -- in a fashion which was traditional in his young years but is nowadays out of vogue.
		Overall, though, Serkin managed to break through all the usual surface noise present in Symphony Hall, and earn a standing ovation at the end of the concert.

		Serkin's command of rhythm, phrasing and timing are really as phenomenal and unique as Michelangeli's better-trailed tone-quality.
		Serkin's own tone-quality, especially in his earlier years (up to say 1960) is also very hard to mistake, and as a rough and inadequate generalisation 'handsome' rather than 'beautiful' could be the word.
		My impression is that Rudolf Serkins (who is arguably one of the greatest 20th century pianists) plays the Brahms concerto in a very classical manner.

	Classical Net Review - Beethoven/Brahms/Mozart - Piano Sonatas #30-32/Cello Sonata #1/Piano Concerto #16
		The year 2003 marks the hundredth anniversary of pianist Rudolf Serkin's birth, and DG's "incomparable" collection is both appropriate and well deserved.
		By the time he signed to DG, Serkin was a late septuagenarian, and no longer capable of playing with the technical aplomb he showed in earlier decades.
		Serkin and Rostropovich are another "odd couple." Serkin's sobriety rubs up against Rostropovich's effusiveness, but the playing works, although the net effect isn't very Brahmsian.

		Rudolf Serkin's early 1960s accounts of the most popular "name" sonatas, on a CBS "Great Performances" mid-price CD, are compellingly direct and offer excellent value.
		Serkin falls far short of Barenboim, as have, all other pianists I've heard without a single exception.
		While these technicial problems are significant enough to be noted, Serkin's true musicianship; his passionate, fiery temperament; and his strong sense of nobility at the piano earned him much-deserved acclaim in both his lifetime and today.

		Rudolf Serkin's gaunt tone and impassioned phrasing, along with Eugene Ormandy's robust, alert support, have long distinguished this 1964 recording of Schumann's A minor concerto as one of the catalog's finest.
		And for years, the fluent and bracing Serkin/Ormandy performance of Schumann's underrated G major Introduction and Allegro Appassionato served as the version of reference, and still does in many respects.
		The mono sonics are excellent for their vintage, capturing the pianist's elusive sonority more accurately than many of his stereo releases do.

		However, this does not detract from Serkin's monumental authority in one of the greatest Hammerklaviers ever committed to disc.
