RUDOLF SERKIN - PIANIST |
|
Autographed and inscribed 4” x 6” original glossy Anthony Altaffer of Zurich photograph at the piano on a postcard mount, January 14, 1983. The photograph is dedicated to the German poet and art collector Wolfgang Windhausen. Serkin (1903-1991) by 1983 was one of the deans of concert pianists on the circuit. Still very active until his retirement from performing in 1988. In 1983, Serkin was beginning to record a series of Mozart piano concertos with Claudio Abbado and the London Philharmonic for Deutsche Grammaphon. Cerebral, but never a natural pianist, Serkin continued to work hard on scales and arpeggios throughout his life to keep his fingers limber. Despite the vocalizations he made during performances and a tendency for a heavy hand at times, his performances have stood the test of time. A great image with an interesting dedication! |
