Feodor Chaliapin (also Shalyapin) -- a singer who needs no introduction. Regarded by many as the greatest operatic bass ever, some have complained that his lower register was weak. This recording proves he had at least a serviceable low D.

Alfred Grünfeld

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Gr%C3%BCnfeld



Alfred Grünfeld (born at Prague July 4, 1852 - January 4, 1924 in Vienna) was an Austrian pianist and composer.

He studied under Höger, under Josef Krejčí at the Prague Conservatory, and under Theodor Kullak at the Neue Akademie der Tonkunst, Berlin. In 1873 he settled at Vienna, where he received the title of "Kammervirtuose". He made tours through Europe and the United States.

During a visit to Germany Grünfeld was appointed court pianist to Emperor Wilhelm I of Germany. From 1897 he was a professor at the Vienna Conservatory.

He is the first pianist of note to make a recording, and a CD featuring many of his tracks is available to buy.

His Viennese house is at Getreidemarkt 10, and has a plaque above the door. His grave can be visited in the Zentralfriedhof in Vienna.

His brother was musician Heinrich Grünfeld.

Works

Of his compositions may be mentioned the following works for the pianoforte:

• Octave-study, op. 15;
• Minuet, op. 31;
• Spanish Serenade, op. 37.

Goldenweiser was born in Kishinev, Bessarabia and studied at the Moscow Conservatory under Sergei Taneyev and Vassily Safonoff, winning the Gold Medal for Piano upon his graduation in 1897.

Dave Tarras



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Tarras

Dave Tarras (1897 ¡V February 13, 1989) was possibly the most famous 20th century klezmer musician. He is known for his long career and his very skilled clarinet playing.

Biography

Tarras, born Dovid Tarraschuk in Ternivka, (a village in Teplytskyi Raion, Vinnytsia Oblast, Ukraine), was the son of a klezmer trombonist and Badkhn. He grew up playing a variety of instruments and surrounded by the music. He was conscripted into the tsar's army in 1915, but his talents as a musician kept him out of the trenches. In 1921 he emigrated to New York City, where worked in a garment factory for a time.

Eventually he found that he could make money as a musician, and found a place as a clarinetist in many of New York's klezmer ensembles. In addition to Jewish music, he also recorded Greek, Polish, and Russian tunes. His ability to play different styles was further masked by the use of pseudonyms on records for the Columbia company.[1]

His reliability and skill saw him play for many years after that other famous klezmer clarinetist, Naftule Brandwein, died, and he was certainly the most famous one from the mid-1930s to the late 1950s. He also mentored many younger klezmer musicians who went on to become famous, such as Andy Statman.

Tarras died in 1989 in Oceanside, Nassau County, New York and left a daughter, Broune, and a son, Seymour, and seven grandchildren.

He is the subject of a recent biography by Yale Strom entitled Dave Tarras - The King of Klezmer.
