AH, BUT WE KNOW

You know you ’ re at an illustrious (as in full of stars) camp when you have two concert pianists on sta every summer. Roman Rudnytsky, a world-traveled concert pianist with a full schedule today, reached us to share that he landed that position “in 1963, the year a er Horowitz was there. I was told that, yes, Horowitz came in 1962 with his wife Wanda and they stayed at the cabin ‘Quartet,’ which was where then-owners Ralph and Fay Burg stayed. He and Wanda were their personal guests... He brought his own piano there. I heard he mingled among the other guests. I heard that he had with him the score of Samuel Barber’s Piano Concerto, Op. 38, which was going to get its world premiere a bit later that year

[on September 24, 1962] by pianist John Browning as one of the opening concerts for Lincoln Center (only Philharmonic Hall then).” is piece would go on to win the 1963 Pulitzer Prize in Music. “Horowitz, a er all, had done the world premiere of Barber’s Piano Sonata, Op. 26 in 1949 (I played that work quite o en at one time).

“In addition to our playing concerts, we took care of the lakefront, setting up lounge chairs for the guests and bringing them water, so we pianists had the easiest job of all the sta !

One More Thing

“He and Wanda were supposed to come back in 1963—my rst year there—but she got ill, so I heard, and they canceled. So I never got to meet them.”

But Rudnytsky did meet his future wife there, another sta member, at Quisisana. ey returned summers later and stayed in the cabin called “Love Nest.”

Lake Kezar Playlist

Rudnytsky says, “Regarding an image of Lake Kezar through music, two short piano pieces come to mind: Liszt’s ‘Au lac de Wallenstadt’ (At the lake of Wallenstadt) and Debussy’s ‘Re ets dans l’eau’ (Reections in Water). ere are other pieces which could also t!”

Quisisana Means Healing

After his secret tune-up in Maine, Vladimir Horowitz burst back onto the concert stage at Carnegie Hall in 1965. Of course audience expectations must have preyed on him. To be as astonishing as he was, maybe you have to blend jittery gi s with courage. We all have our moments on that knife’s edge. “I take terrible risks,” Horowitz once told a magazine interviewer, according to e Atlantic. “Because my playing is very clear, when I make a mistake you hear it. If you want me to play only the notes without any speci c dynamics, I will never make one mistake. Never be afraid to dare.” n

We were driving the coast, so to speak, I think maybe in a station wagon. He fell in love with wherever we went, and now he’d fallen in love with Maine. We talked excitedly in the car. We were looking for a house on the water. We did examine the place! We kept driving north along the water until I don’t really remember the name of the town. We went quite a ways up, actually, because it was so beautiful. To John, each place was more beautiful than the last."
