FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MEDIA CONTACT: Marci Janas
October 31, 2003 440-775-8328//marci.janas at oberlin.edu
OBERLIN, OHIO =3F She is one of the most venerated musicians of our time, =
and
on Tuesday, Nov. 18, at 8 p.m., she will appear in concert at Oberlin
College's Finney Chapel.
Violinist Ida Haendel will perform works by Bach, Bart=F4k, Beethoven,
Chausson, Corelli, and Wieniawski, accompanied by pianist Walter Delahunt,
as part of Oberlin's Artist Recital Series, celebrating its 125th
anniversary this season.
Haendel typifies the great tradition of violin playing, evolving from her
early work with such celebrated pedagogues as Carl Flesch and Georges
Enesco. Since her spectacular London debut at the age of 8 at a Proms
concert under the direction of Sir Henry Wood, her career has been
distinguished by a succession of triumphs in concert halls the world over.
Critics unreservedly praise her masterful technique and searching
musicality. Richard Dyer of The Boston Globe wrote: "Fresh, youthful
inspiration still animates everything Haendel does . . . . She plays the
notes with such simplicity, directness and emotional force that they tear
your heart out."
She records primarily for the EMI, Decca, and Testament labels; her 2000
recording for Decca with pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy was awarded France's
coveted Diapason d?or.
Pianist Walter Delahunt is in great demand as a chamber musician ? he is a
regular guest of the Berlin Philharmonic Chamber Music Series and many
European chamber music festivals ? and he has performed with some of the
world's greatest musicians. In addition to the legendary Ida Haendel,
Delahunt has played with Zara Nelsova, Gidon Kremer, and Martha Argerich.
His musicianship is characterized by tremendous technical command of the
instrument and unique sound quality.
A native of Nova Scotia and a professor at the Vienna Academy of Music from =
1984 and 1997, his performing career has taken him throughout Canada, the
United States, North Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. He has recorded
for Panton (Prague) and BMG Japan. A live recording of Dvorak chamber
music, performed at the "Progetto Martha Argerich" in Lugano in June 2002,
is available on EMI Classics. He resides in Montreal and Brussels.
