Henri Barda is one of the most elusive of pianists. Apparently he
suffers from stage fright and his appearances are rare.
He is admired by none other than Allan Evans, who single-handedly
discovered Tiegermann several years ago.
A new release on the label Sisyphe in France has been announced for
release on October 27. Here is the repertoire:
BRAHMS Johannes
1 - 1 Capriccio in F sharp minor, Op. 76 No. 1 (3mn 35s )
1 - 2 Capriccio in B flat minor, Op. 76 No. 2 (2mn 48s )
1 - 3 Intermezzo in A flat major, Op. 76 No. 3 (1mn 48s )
1 - 4 Intermezzo in B flat major, Op. 76 No. 4 (1mn 51s )
1 - 5 Capriccio in C sharp minor, Op. 76 No. 5 (3mn 11s )
BEETHOVEN Ludwig van
Piano Sonata No. 28 in A major, Op. 101
1 - 6 I. Allegretto, ma non troppo (3mn 54s )
1 - 7 II. Vivace alla marcia (6mn 14s )
1 - 8 III. Adagio ma non troppo, con affetto (2mn 37s )
1 - 9 IV. Allegro (7mn 38s )
CHOPIN Frédéric
1 - 10 Barcarolle in F sharp major, Op. 60 (8mn 38s )
1 - 11 Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23 (8mn 12s )
1 - 12 Ballade No. 2 in F major, Op. 38 (7mn 05s )
1 - 13 Ballade No. 3 in A flat major, Op. 47 (6mn 14s )
1 - 14 Ballade No. 4 in F minor, Op. 52 (10mn 10s )
All captured "live" in 2008 while the pianist was on a tour of Japan.
Something to look forward to, I would suggest, particularly to those
who know his previous Chopin CD of the Chopin Sonatas.
Here is the French Amazon link.

From the liner notes to the Arbiter Records "Lost Legend of Cairo"
Tiegerman cd's set:
"New York, September 1995: Edward Said mentions an upcoming concert by
Henri Barda, a Parisian pianist whom he singles out as Tiegerman's
finest pupil. Barda plays the Chopin Barcarolle with a grandeur and
monumentality emanating from a heightened sense of narrative. This
brilliant pianist had recorded the three Chopin Sonatas for Calliope,
a CD which won a prestigious prize for Chopin interpretation from the
Chopin Association of Warsaw, an honor which would have given his
teacher great satisfaction. Afterwards, Barda acknowledges Tiegerman
as having given him his musical language." Copyright, Allan Evans
The Arbiter Tiegerman cd set is also a sine qua non.

Masters of Chopin set, along with recordings by Severin Eisenberger
and fresh, non-compressed transfers of Ignaz Friedman 78's. Even more
indispensable than the Legend of Cairo set. http://tiny.cc/uyiv6
The only Arbiter recordings that are genuinely hard-to-find are the
early Horszowski releases from 1996/7 and the Morini titles. A few
others, too, such as Hambourg, Batagov, et al. My Arbiter collection
is nearly complete.

Incidentally, I heard or read somewhere that the Mozart Sonatas will
be reissued in improved sound.

Allan Evans is a good man with a wonderful ear. I trust his judgment
unreservedly. Have not heard of Barda, but am now very curious to hear
him. I'll definitely look out for his earlier recordings. Thanks for
the tip.

Mozart Sonatas and can't manage to do it.
At least two recent sets - Francois Dumont and Daniel-Ben Pienaar -
strike me as vastly superior, not least for their reproduction of the
sound of a grand piano. I am in the minority on this, I know full
well, but that's my position and I am sticking to it. Horszowski
improved with age, like vintage port. At 90 he was just hitting his
stride.

I don't care for the Arbiter Mozart either. The sonatas lack grace. The
Mozart he recorded for Nonesuch is far more to my taste.

Agreed.
But I still celebrate AE for his dogged attempts to unearth forgotten
or neglected recordings, even if I don't personally value them as much
as he or others do.

Tiegerman, 1950's, Cairo, Chopin 4th Ballade :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI2OUGm-d6k&feature=related
From the Arbiter Records liner notes:
" (Prince) Hassan and other pupils sought from the government a
gesture of recognition or concern to the dying artist who had taught
nearly one thousand pianists and had established for over thirty years
a school on a par with Europe's foremost conservatories. Hassan
recalls how Dr. Okasha's office dispatched "an unimportant man, a low-
level functionary who was an Egyptian Moslem and who knew absolutely
nothing whatsoever about Tiegerman. He came into the hospital room,
and upon seeing Tiegerman, immediately fell to his knees and, kneeling
at his bedside, kissed his hand. In an instant, he understood who
Tiegerman was." And death came on May 31, 1968...He was buried in the
Bassatine Jewish cemetery, but refugees from the Sinai Peninsula who
came to Cairo after the 1967 war moved into the cemeteries near
Ma'adi, often overturning or demolishing the stones, and the
whereabouts of Tiegerman's grave and personal papers remain a
mystery."
