Another Celebrity Pianist
IMON BARERE, a notable Russian concert pianist, will tour, New Zealand during September, on ‘completion of his present visit to Australia. Portions of three concerts will be hroad-cast-from Auckland on September 4, from Christchurch on September 24, and from Wellington on September 27. Barere was born in Odessa in 1896. He showed an early interest in music and when he was 11 he entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory, studying under Essipoff and, later, Blumenfeld. At the age of 22 he carried off the coveted Rubinstein Prize. He left Russia in 1929 and settled in Berlin and then in Stockholm, but toured extensively. Barere’s London debut took place in 1934, and he was first heard by a New York audience in 1938. He soon became well known to concert-goers in Europe and America, but New Zealanders will know him principally from the recordings he has made. For his coming tour, Barere will use Rachmaninoff’s CD-15 piano, of which there are only 20 copies in existence, and at which the great composer wrote some of his later music.
