Unfortunately, I have to start with a statement which
is necessary to make after it became apparent that the Concert Artist label had released over a hundred CDs with plagiarized recordings spread as the
work of pianist Joyce Hatto. I was hoping that nothing of this had been done to the Concert Artist Fiorentino series. Yet it is clear now that
-- at this state of investigation -- some recordings issued under Fiorentino's name are not the work of the pianist. I have decided to let the
Concert Artist releases in the discography, adding the name of the pianist whose work was plagiarized (when definite information has become
available) or adding just a 'note of doubt'. The reviews of such CDs will also be left in. |
Preface
The
Italian pianist Sergio Fiorentino was born in Naples on December 22, 1927.
His exceptional talent showed at an early age. Being granted a scholarship
by the Ministery of Education in 1938, he studied at the
Conservatorio "San Pietro a Majella" under Luigi Finizio and Paolo Denza, earning
his diploma in 1946. In 1948 he attended a master class of Carlo Zecchi in
Salzburg. By that time he had already begun his career as a solo and trio
player in his native country, and had won several national and international
piano competitions.
Hailed
by critics for his unusual technical and musical endowments, his concert
career grew steadily and took him to nearly all countries in Western Europe.
His debut in New York's Carnegie Recital Hall took place in October, 1953,
a South American tour in 1954 led him to Argentina and Uruguay. He was under
contract with concert agencies such as Adler, Gérard and de
Valmalète. However, a near fatal plane accident at the end of his
South American tour resulted in a severe cut-back of his activities. He took
on a post as a teacher at his old conservatory in Naples. Even though he overcame
his physical handicap after awhile, the demands of his position in Naples
and his absence from the international concert stages caused him to lose
his agents.
A new
start was made in the late fifties in England. He played frequently in Wigmore
Hall and Royal Festival Hall in London and in other cities in Britain. The
London Philharmonic, London Symphony and Philharmonia Orchestras accompanied
him in performances of works by Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff,
de Falla and Gershwin. Most of his recordings were made during those
years.
Various
circumstances, among these a growing unease with the strenuous life of being
an itinerant musician and teacher simultaneously, prompted him to withdraw
again from an extensive concert life. He limited his rare appearances in
public to his native country and started to give regular master classes,
working also occasionally for Italian radio RAI.
When
he resigned from the conservatory in 1993 he once again took an interest
in playing in public to a greater extent. One year earlier an invitation
to Germany to play four recitals turned out to be a great success and resulted
in annual appearances in that country. The esteem of his artistry was such
that he became once again a highly sought-for pianist. He travelled to America
in 1996, 1997 and 1998 to give concerts at the prestigious Newport Music
Festival, in New York City (Alice Tully Hall) and in Boston and Providence.
He went to France (Angoulême) and Taiwan (Taipeh) and received invitations
again to France (Montpellier), to Russia (Novosibirsk and Krasnoyarsk), the
Netherlands (Utrecht) and Canada (Ottawa). Since 1994 he had also embarked
upon a major recording project in Berlin,, being able to confide his unique
art to no less than 10 CD's released on a regular basis exclusively by the
British label APR. The "Indian summer" of his on-an-off-career, alas, was
cut-off by his sudden death in Naples on August 22, 1998, depriving the musical
world of a master of rare stature worth being mentioned only in context with
the greatest names in his profession. Luckily, however, and due to the tireless work
of Concert Artist/Fidelio Recordings, a substantial part of his recorded repertoire which never
saw publication, is now prepared for release by both Concert Artist/Fidelio and APR. All these
recordings were made in England during the fifties and sixties and are to be considered as a major
extension of his already large recorded repertoire.

Nota bene: Some sleeves of earlier SAGA issues
contain the legend that Sergio Fiorentino "...has recently recorded the
24 Preludes and the Etudes tableaux for SAGA RECORDS as well as the
4 Piano Concertos and the Paganini Rhapsody by Rachmaninoff". These
performances were contracted but either recorded later (Preludes and Etudes tableaux)
or never carried out (Piano Concertos and Paganini Rhapsody).
Several of Sergio Fiorentino's
performances have been subject to pseudonymous publication for various commercial
reasons not to be discussed here. The following is a list of those records

Finally
I have to add a few words concerning a very special kind of "pseudonymous
issue" of two works played by Sergio Fiorentino. But first some facts about
the SAGA label: SAGA was a small but enterprising company in the late fifties.
SAGA eventually passed into liquidation and the repertoire was acquired by
ALLIED RECORDS / ASSOCIATED PERFORMANCES / ART & SOUND. The new owners
continued to reissue periodically the original SAGA performances, retaining
the old catalogue numbers or also using new ones. In 1973 a release of some
performances was prepared which the eminent Russian-English pianist Leff
Pouishnoff had made for SAGA way back in the late fifties. A Chopin/Liszt
programme from these sessions was released on SAGA XID 5013 and a different
programme incorporating the Theme & Variations op.72 by Glazounov (which
appeared earlier on an EP) was scheduled for the reissue in question, labelled
"The Art of Pouishnoff" and published
on SAGA 5375. Strangely enough this record from
1973 exists in two versions with the same pieces in the same order on both
sides (side A:
Chopin
Polonaise Fantaisie op.61 /
Liszt
Mephisto Waltz #1 // side B: Chopin Rondo op.16 / Glazounov Theme and
Variations op.72). But whereas the original Pouishnoff performances are to
be found on the version with the black label and the matrix numbers
5375+A/5375+B, the second version of this record has on side A strikingly
different interpretations of both Chopin's Polonaise Fantaisie and Liszt's
Mephisto Waltz #1 which are not played by Leff Pouishnoff but by Sergio
Fiorentino. This record has a black label and the matrix numbers 5375A-3/5375B-3
or a blue label and the matrix numbers 5375A-3 and 5375B-4. The recordings
of both these works by Chopin and Liszt have been identified as formerly
unissued performances from Sergio Fiorentino's sessions for the SAGA label.
How and why this mistake happened is of minor interest. What counts is that
two more exciting interpretations of Sergio Fiorentino have been made available
to the admirers of his art as a consequence which otherwise would have remained
forgotten.
(For reasons of economy I have listed the Polonaise Fantaisie op. 61 on both SAGA STM 6021 and SAGA 5375
as if they were issues of the same tape or takes. It has to be observed, however, that despite a general identity of the whole
interpretation small differences can be detected in various places.)
A different kind of "surprise record" is PHOENIX X 9050, offering both Liszt
concertos. According to the label the 1st concerto is played by Sergio Fiorentino and the Hamburg Pro Musica Orchestra under
Erich Riede. This would be quite in order were it not for the grooves to tell the listener a different story: without doubt we can hear the 1950
performance of the piece with Emil Gilels under Kondrashin's baton! The matrix number of this record is FDY 2031A/B so it is almost certain
that the record FIDELITY FDY 2031 also has the Gilels version on side A. The reverse side of the PHOENIX record with Liszt's 2nd concerto,
played by "Laszlo Zemlitz" and the "Carinthian Philharmonic Orchestra" under "Franz Meisdorf" is in fact the performance by Julius
Katchen and the London, Philharmonic Orchestra under Ataulfo Argenta! This identification applies also for the reverse side
of Classics Club X 1011. An interesting case is
A.R.C. FDY 2021 from 1963, a record which exists again in two versions, one naming Sergio Fiorentino and the Hamburg Pro Musica
under George Hurst, the other one "Paul Procopolis" and the "Leipzig Pro Arte Orchestra" under "Gorg Ramifski". The sleeves are differently
designed, the matrix numbers are the same. Both versions, however, contain a performance of Tchaikovsky's 1st piano concerto, played by
Sondra Bianca, pno., and the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra conducted by Hans Jürgen Walther.
Reissues from Sergio Fiorentino's

Collectors of piano recordings
will be interested to know that all of Sergio Fiorentino's Liszt recordings, formerly published on the
DELTA / CONCERT ARTIST / REVOLUTION labels have been released on CD by APR, the last volume (IV) in 2002.
These highly acclaimed re-releases will be followed by a series of Fiorentino's Chopin, Schumann, Brahms and Rachmaninoff recordings.

(note: Sergio Fiorentino also recorded the Preludes Nos. 4 & 5 -- Gershwin had premièred
these together with the well-known three as a set of five small pieces in a concert on December 4th, 1926, at the Hotel Roosevelt.
Yet the two pieces had not appeared in print. Fiorentino recorded them using copy manuscripts received from sources close to the
composer. However, the Publishing Company did not allow the release of the recordings of these two pieces and demanded the master tapes.
These were subsequently lost or destroyed. These details were supplied by Barrington-Coupe, so they may be an invention.)
