Samuil Feinberg

Jewgenjewitsch Samuil Feinberg (also:. . Samuel Feinberg, Russian Самуил Евгеньевич Фейнберг; * 14.jul / May 26 1890greg in Odessa, † October 22, 1962 in Moscow) was a Russian pianist, composer and important representative of the Russian piano school of Jewish origin.

Life

Feinberg was born in the Ukraine but lived from the age of 4 years in Moscow. About his teacher Alexander Gold Weiser, whose teacher Pabst, who had been informed of the Czerny- pupil Anton Door, led his " pianistic pedigree " to Ludwig van Beethoven, who in turn had taught Czerny. In Feinberg's game, kept the characteristics of the " Russian school ", which appealed to Beethoven and Alexander Siloti on Franz Liszt, the scale: learning, power and beauty, an almost universal claim.

Particularly intensively employed Feinberg with Johann Sebastian Bach, whose " Well-Tempered Clavier " he recorded completely and whose organ works he transcribed for piano partly (mostly choral arrangements ) and recorded for the record. His style is distinguished by great subtlety and finesse not only by the radical interpretations of the younger Glenn Gould, but also from the romantic style of his contemporaries Edwin Fischer.

Feinberg's compositional oeuvre includes three piano concertos, twelve sonatas and numerous other piano works, including folk-song arrangements. All the sonatas were published recently in the record label BIS, his Bach transcriptions by Hyperion.

Feinberg was 1938 jury member for the Ysaye Competition in Brussels.

Feinberg was awarded the Order of Lenin and the Stalin Prize in 1946.
