Simon Barer plays Liszt/Paganini. The theme is by Niccolò Paganini but Franz Liszt weaved his own genius around it. Just listen..

My mother Patricia Benkman was a pianist who studied with him in New York, and became a close friend receiving a phone call from Simone Barere in the nights before is ill fated concert at Carnegie Hall. She used to talk about the pianists obsessive energy and technique, circling the room like a hawk before launching in to play. He was an amazing performer who gathered crowds around the block for his performances.

This guy is my great-grand teacher! No wonder I've always been so obsessed with this piece.

Do you have any samples of things that he told his students? Many of us here would be curious....

Interesting coincidence. Same with me! I studied for 8 years with Boris Maximovich who studied with Barere at the Kiev Conservatory.

@pianopera Apparently this recording exists because a sound engineer requested that he play La Campanella, and recorded it without Barere's knowledge. He said he hadn't played it for 10 years (which, if true, explains why he's playing at a relatively 'normal' tempo for his standards).

@pianopera This is probably his Remington recording, from shortly before his death I believe... these late recordings were issued on the Cembal D'Amour label.

I corrected that quintessential typo, can't believe I made it there of all places. Thanks. I don't know when this is from, I only know it is one of the last recordings he made.

This is a studio recording? From what year? Great playing! Maybe you could correct the typo.

1951, a few months before Barere's death. Don Gabor was the producer in question who recorded Barere without his knowledge, and a lucky thing for us he did!
