8 Nov 1973 Jahr - Harvey Pittel makes Carnegie Hall debut

Beschreibung:

There are few saxophone masters in the modern world, and
even fewer who compare to Harvey Pittel. For Pittel, the
title “master” is an appropriately well-earned and well-deserved
description. The critics of the United States agree. The New York
Times’ Raymond Ericson wrote, in regard to one of Pittel’s many
New York concerts, that the music he heard was “An evening as
stimulating musically as it was dazzling technically.” Michael
Steinberg of the Boston Globe wrote, Pittel is “A superb musician
and instrumentalist, with an elegant sense of phrase, vast technical resources, and beautiful firmly-centered tone.” The San Francisco Chronicle pointed out how Pittel has reached the goal for
which all us musicians strive, “The thing about Pittel is that he
plays so well and so stylishly… The control and variety of timbre
– along with a varied chest of instruments – allows him to adapt
to whatever he plays.” And now the kicker, “One ends up hearing
the music rather than the performer;” there just can’t be a loftier
goal, and one which Pittel achieves night after night after night.
Winthrop Sargeant in The New Yorker furthered all of those sentiments when he wrote, “(Pittel is) Clearly a master of his instrument.” The great critic Harold Schonberg, also of The New York
Times, summed it up the same way, “(Pittel is) A master of his
instrument.” As Stan Lee would say, “’Nuff said.”
For Pittel, born June 22, 1943, however, playing solo recitals is just one portion of a vast web of musical endeavors. As an
orchestral soloist he has performed with the New York, Boston,
Los Angeles, Louisville, Sacramento, Chautauqua, San Jose and
San Antonio symphonies, to list just a few. Among the many conductors Pittel has worked with are Zubin Mehta, Michael Tilson
Thomas, Varujan Kojian, Carter Nice, Abraham Chavez, Neville
Marriner, Ingolf Dahl, Seiji Ozawa, Andrew Davis, Aaron Sten
and Jose Serebrier
